Agent skills have become an important part of real-world AI applications, providing a mechanism — a set of instructions saved in a folder of text-based markdown (.md) files, usually — for models to adapt to specific enterprise use cases and complex workflows. However, optimizing these skills is a slow process and faulty process, as they cannot be trained in the same way as the parameters of the underlying AI model. Instead, users typically must update them manually by retyping the instructions in each file,

For companies in the life sciences industry, medical communications is a core pillar for sharing clinical trial updates and connecting with peers. Because these materials require strict accuracy and academic rigor, biopharma companies have historically relied on specialized external agencies. This traditional approach guarantees expert messaging but often results in slow turnaround times and high ... Read more ›

Airbus is moving 70 critical applications from AWS to French cloud provider Scaleway as part of a broader digital sovereignty push to keep sensitive data "under European control." Eventually, the migration will cover 900 applications, including ERP, CRM, manufacturing execution, and product lifecycle management systems. Airbus says it will, however, continue using U.S. providers for less sensitive workloads. "We do not intend to move away from all non European solutions;... Read more ›

Meta Platforms’ internal incubator for AI-powered products and tools is developing a version of the OpenRouter service that would help cut costs by sending some AI tasks to lower-cost models. The incubator, called AAI Labs, is part of Meta’s Applied AI Engineering team, which Meta set up in March and allows employees to pitch AI-powered products and services for internal use—and possibly later release them to the public. Once a... Read more ›

Organizations need to transform to meet the needs of agentic AI.Meta VP of Engineering Barak Yagour opened his talk at VB Transform 2026 wearing a pair of Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses, a small sign of how far AI has already worked its way into physical life. His argument went further: enterprise infrastructure was built for humans, not for agents, and it's starting to show.Yagour, who leads its data infrastructure organization,... Read more ›

Hundreds of enterprise leaders and technical experts packed the main ballroom of the luxurious Hotel Nia in Menlo Park this week for VB Transform 2026, the year's preeminent conference on using generative AI agents to drive business outcomes. Rachad Alao, vice president of product engineering at the rising Canadian enterprise AI startup Cohere, joined VentureBeat CEO and editor-in-chief Matt Marshall for a fireside chat about building agentic systems without surrendering...

The enterprise AI industry has a math problem. Cisco data shows 85% of enterprises are piloting AI agents, but only 5% have shipped them to production. At VB Transform 2026 on Tuesday, Bryan Silverthorn, Director of AGI Autonomy at Amazon, explained why that gap persists — and why the answer isn't better benchmarks.Silverthorn, who joined Amazon through its acquisition of Adept AI and now leads multimodal agent training inside the...

Enterprises looking to move more of their agentic AI workloads to open weights models they can customize, control and run on-premises or in virtual private clouds have a strong new contender to consider.Today, Thinking Machines—the highly capitalized American AI startup founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati—released Inkling, its first major language model under an enterprise-friendly Apache 2.0 open source license, and it boasts high, if sub state-of-the-art, performance for...

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. Most organizations run their AI on a familiar base of hyperscalers and model-provider APIs, yet the next dollar is aimed at specialized compute almost none of them use today; a majority intend to switch or add providers within the year, many within a quarter. Buying decisions turn on integration and total... Read more ›

Across 107 enterprises, AI agents are being given real access to systems and data while the controls meant to contain them lag behind. More than half have already had a confirmed agent security incident or a near-miss; only about a third give every agent its own scoped identity, and most agents still share credentials; and only three in ten isolate their highest-risk agents. The security stack is overwhelmingly borrowed from... Read more ›
