Long-horizon reasoning exposes a core weakness in AI agents: context windows fill up fast, and retrieval pipelines return noise instead of signal.To solve this, researchers at the National University of Singapore developed MRAgent, a framework that abandons the static "retrieve-then-reason" approach. Instead, it uses a mechanism that allows an agent to dynamically develop its memory based on accumulating evidence. This multi-step memory reconstruction is integrated into the reasoning process of... Read more ›

An endpoint agent cannot report its own absence. The 2026 Axonius Actionability Report, conducted with the Ponemon Institute and surveying 662 IT and security professionals, put a number on a gap SOC teams have worked around for years. Across the Axonius customer base, 12.7% of devices in a 298,000-device median inventory are missing their expected security agent.If a device has no agent, no management console shows it. If a CMDB... Read more ›

OpenAI is announcing a limited preview of its next-generation GPT-5.6 model series today, introducing three distinct, capability-tiered models—Sol, Terra, and Luna—designed to re-engineer developer and enterprise workflows. The initial rollout is available through the API and Codex to a narrow set of approximately 20 total organizations after OpenAI shared the models and release plans with the U.S. government, following an executive order issued by President Donald J. Trump earlier this... Read more ›

Industrialized factories changed how the world produced physical goods: more output, lower costs, faster than anything that came before. Now a similar shift is happening with software. LLMs have lowered the barrier to writing code, increased individual output, and pushed organizations to think about software development as a production system. The standard software development lifecycle and CI/CD practices that have held for decades won't hold up under that pressure. That's... Read more ›

Liquid AI, founded by former MIT computer scientists, today released its smallest AI language model yet, LFM2.5-230M, and enterprises would do well to consider it for their uses in data extraction and local deployment on smartphones, laptops and robotics.This is a 230-million-parameter foundation model explicitly designed for on-device agentic workflows, and as Liquid states in its release blog post, that small size makes it possible to run nearly "anywhere." According... Read more ›

AI agent orchestration platforms are popping up like weeds these days, but London-based AI transformation startup Mindstone's Rebel might be among the most promising I've come across. That's because the system, which officially launched this week, is a local-first, agentic AI operating system distributed under a "Fair Source" license, allowing teams of under 100 users to freely adopt and customize it to suit their needs, while those organizations with more...

Alibaba's Qwen team released Qwen-AgentWorld on Tuesday — two models trained not to act inside agent environments, but to predict what those environments return. The release covers seven domains under a single architecture: MCP, Search, Terminal, Software Engineering, Android, Web, and OS. The release extends Alibaba's recent push into autonomous agents. Qwen3.7-Max, released in May, was built around a 35-hour autonomous execution capability. That shift targets a ceiling teams training... Read more ›

As enterprise AI agents take on increasingly complex, long-horizon tasks, their performance is often restricted by their harness, the software scaffolding that connects the backbone LLM to its environment. Currently, harnesses are largely static and hand-crafted. Improving them is largely manual and they do not automatically improve based on the execution data they collect from their environment.To address this engineering bottleneck, researchers at Xiaomi introduced HarnessX, a framework that treats...

Drug discovery is notoriously inefficient. Pharmaceutical projects span years, moving from one specialized human team to the next through disconnected workflows that result in knowledge loss during each handoff. A shocking 90% to 95% of drug discovery projects reportedly fail — one of the highest failure rates of any industry. A single successful drug can take over a dozen years and up to $1 billion from initial discovery to patient... Read more ›

Shopify built an LLM proxy that gives every engineer access to multiple AI providers — with automatic failover when any one of them goes down, changes, or disappears. When Claude Fable 5 shut down, Shopify's engineers didn't go into panic mode. The proxy shifted them to Claude Opus or GPT 5.5 automatically, without interrupting their workflows. “Fable looks amazing; we used it of course,” Farhan Thawar, Shopify’s head of engineering,...

AI agents are increasingly proficient at executing business tasks autonomously, but IT leaders are cautious about granting permissions to access enterprise systems. Part of the challenge lies in how AI reliability is measured. Industry standards often rely on EVAL scores, which provide a static snapshot of performance rather than a measure of overall reliability. These metrics can fail to capture predictability across prompts, environments, and input types, said Bryan Silverthorn,... Read more ›

Customer expectations have shifted from simple, fast conversational interactions to complex agentic AI-powered tasks that legacy IT architectures simply can’t handle. To address this, Intuit made the bold decision to overhaul its technical infrastructure for its business platform. The company moved away from its multi-agent setup, which prioritized broad capabilities, to a granular, skill-and-tool-based architecture while embedding human experts directly into the workflow alongside AI. This shift involved d Read more ›

While many enterprises have already begun integrating AI-generated images, visuals, graphics and videos into their production workflows — there is also a growing pool of data and subjective commentary indicating AI imagery ultimately looks non-distinct, monotonous, and too unoriginal to ensure a brand and its assets stand out from the pack. That it's "AI slop," in other words. AI creative tools startup Krea is hoping to change that trend by... Read more ›

Presented by F5When enterprises move AI workloads from pilot to production, data delivery often becomes the factor that determines whether those systems can scale reliably. Point-to-point architectures connecting storage directly to compute hold up under demonstration conditions, but they often break down under sustained, concurrent production traffic. The result is stalled inference pipelines, delayed RAG systems, underutilized GPUs, and SLA violations, all of which carry direct business consequences. "Org Read more ›
