VentureBeat
VentureBeat · 06/10/2026 13:31 EDT

Enterprise AI teams face a dilemma: The best models today might not be the best models a year from now. MassMutual's answer is to stop making long-term bets — and build infrastructure that can swap models as the market shifts.“The world of AI today is extremely dynamic,” Sears Merritt, MassMutual CIO, explained in a new VB Beyond the Pilot podcast. “We wanted to make sure we were positioned to ride that wave of dynamism.”The strategy appears to be paying off in a big way. MassMutual has measured a roughly 3

ASML in Veldhoven is the only company on Earth that can build extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, and each one contains a mirror so perfectly polished that if you scaled it up to the size of Germany, its tallest bump would be less than a millimetre high

ASML in Veldhoven is the only company on Earth that can build extreme ultraviolet lithography machines. Inside each one are mirrors so smooth that, scaled to the size of Germany, their tallest bump would sit under a millimetre high — and every leading-edge chip on the planet has passed under their light.

Почему современное SI/PI-моделирование не заканчивается на печатной плате?

Все привыкли считать, что SI/PI-моделирование — это импеданс, S-параметры дорожек и IBIS-модель. Но что, если именно здесь большинство инженеров и допускает главную ошибку? Печатная плата — лишь небольшая часть реального канала передачи сигнала.В этой статье разберём, почему без моделей корпуса микросхемы, разъёмов, кабелей, пассивных компонентов, температуры и измерений даже самое красивое моделирование может не иметь ничего общего с тем, что происходит в готовом устройстве. Поговорим о том, где заканчивае Read more

Построчное шифрование для хранения в репозитории

Как хранить зашифрованный файл в репозитории Git или другой системы контроля версий? Если изменение одной строчки содержимого будет (из-за шифрования) менять весь файл целиком или значительную его часть - это портит весь подход системы контроля версий - хранение изменений "фрагментами". Значит хорошо бы шифровать "куски" - например, строки - по-отдельности, независимо.Здесь описывается простенький рецепт для этого подхода - в духе "соль + пароль и от них взять хэш в качестве...

Across 101 enterprises, agent orchestration is consolidating onto model-provider platforms — Anthropic’s Claude leads by a wide margin — chosen for the gravity of the underlying model and judged on reliable multi-step execution. But the ambition runs well ahead of the reality: most deployed “agents” are still chatbot wrappers, the control plane enterprises expect is deliberately hybrid to avoid lock-in, and real-time fiscal control over token burn remains the exception.This...

Across 157 enterprises, organizations are granting AI agents more autonomy while trusting the evaluations meant to gate that autonomy less. Half have already shipped an agent that passed their internal evaluations and then failed a customer in production; only one in twenty fully trusts automated evaluation today; and the most-cited weakness is that evaluations do not align with real-world outcomes. Yet two-thirds already allow, or are actively engineering toward, deploying... Read more

Across 101 enterprises, the infrastructure that feeds AI agents their business context is being built faster than it can be trusted. Retrieval-augmented generation is already the default context source, and provider-native retrieval has quietly overtaken the dedicated vector databases that define the category — yet a majority of enterprises have already watched their agents produce confident, wrong answers traced to missing or inconsistent context. A governed semantic layer is emerging... Read more

Presented by Ping Identity Enterprises need to treat zero trust security architecture as an immediate requirement for AI agents rather than a long-term goal, says Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. Zero trust, the security model built on the assumption that no user, device, or system should be automatically trusted, requires continuous verification before every action rather than a single check at login. Agentic AI has profoundly compressed... Read more

Across 107 enterprises, AI infrastructure spending is accelerating well ahead of the ability to see or steer its economics.
