CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz highlighted in his RSA Conference 2026 keynote that the fastest recorded adversary breakout time has dropped to 27 seconds. The average is now 29 minutes, down from 48 minutes in 2024. That is how much time defenders have before a threat spreads. Now CrowdStrike sensors detect more than 1,800 distinct AI applications running on enterprise endpoints, representing nearly 160 million unique application instances. Every one generates...

As generative AI matures from a novelty into a workplace staple, a new friction point has emerged: the "shadow AI" or "Bring Your Own AI (BYOAI)" crisis. Much like the unsanctioned use of personal devices in years past, developers and knowledge workers are increasingly deploying autonomous agents on personal infrastructure to manage their professional workflows."Our journey with Kilo Claw has been to make it easier and easier and more accessible...

Attackers stole a long-lived npm access token belonging to the lead maintainer of axios, the most popular HTTP client library in JavaScript, and used it to publish two poisoned versions that install a cross-platform remote access trojan. The malicious releases target macOS, Windows, and Linux. They were live on the npm registry for roughly three hours before removal.Axios gets more than 100 million downloads per week. Wiz reports it sits... Read more ›

Deploying AI agents for repository-scale tasks like bug detection, patch verification, and code review requires overcoming significant technical hurdles. One major bottleneck: the need to set up dynamic execution sandboxes for every repository, which are expensive and computationally heavy. Using large language model (LLM) reasoning instead of executing the code is rising in popularity to bypass this overhead, yet it frequently leads to unsupported guesses and hallucinations. To improve execution-free... Read more ›

“Your AI? It’s my AI now.” The line came from Etay Maor, VP of Threat Intelligence at Cato Networks, in an exclusive interview with VentureBeat at RSAC 2026 — and it describes exactly what happened to a U.K. CEO whose OpenClaw instance ended up for sale on BreachForums. Maor's argument is that the industry handed AI agents the kind of autonomy it would never extend to a human employee, discarding... Read more ›

Slack today announced more than 30 new capabilities for Slackbot, its AI-powered personal agent, in what amounts to the most sweeping overhaul of the workplace messaging platform since Salesforce acquired it for $27.7 billion in 2021. The update transforms Slackbot from a simple conversational assistant into a full-spectrum enterprise agent that can take meeting notes across any video provider, operate outside the Slack application on users' desktops, execute tasks through...

Anthropic appears to have accidentally revealed the inner workings of one of its most popular and lucrative AI products, the agentic AI harness Claude Code, to the public.A 59.8 MB JavaScript source map file (.map), intended for internal debugging, was inadvertently included in version 2.1.88 of the @anthropic-ai/claude-code package on the public npm registry pushed live earlier this morning. By 4:23 am ET, Chaofan Shou (@Fried_rice), an intern at Solayer... Read more ›

For the modern enterprise, the digital workspace risks descending into "coordination theater," in which teams spend more time discussing work than executing it. While traditional tools like Slack or Teams excel at rapid communication, they have structurally failed to serve as a reliable foundation for AI agents, such that a Hacker News thread went viral in February 2026 calling upon OpenAI to build its own version of Slack to help...

Softr, the Berlin-based no-code platform used by more than one million builders and 7,000 organizations including Netflix, Google, and Stripe, today launched what it calls an AI-native platform — a bet that the explosive growth of AI-powered app creation tools has produced a market full of impressive demos but very little production-ready business software.The company's new AI Co-Builder lets non-technical users describe in plain language the software they need, and...

ThinkLabs AI, a startup building artificial intelligence models that simulate the behavior of the electric grid, announced today that it has closed a $28 million Series A financing round led by Energy Impact Partners (EIP), one of the largest energy transition investment firms in the world. Nvidia’s venture capital arm NVentures and Edison International, the parent company of Southern California Edison, also participated in the round.The funding marks a significant... Read more ›

For three decades, the web has existed in a state of architectural denial. It is a platform originally conceived to share static physics papers, yet it is now tasked with rendering the most complex, interactive, and generative interfaces humanity has ever conceived. At the heart of this tension lies a single, invisible, and prohibitively expensive operation known as "layout reflow." Whenever a developer needs to know the height of a... Read more ›

“You can deceive, manipulate, and lie. That’s an inherent property of language. It’s a feature, not a flaw,” CrowdStrike CTO Elia Zaitsev told VentureBeat in an exclusive interview at RSA Conference 2026. If deception is baked into language itself, every vendor trying to secure AI agents by analyzing their intent is chasing a problem that cannot be conclusively solved. Zaitsev is betting on context instead. CrowdStrike’s Falcon sensor walks the... Read more ›

Enterprises building voice-enabled workflows have had limited options for production-grade transcription: closed APIs with data residency risks, or open models that trade accuracy for deployability. Cohere's new open-weight ASR model, Transcribe, is built to compete on all four key differentiators — contextual accuracy, latency, control and cost.Cohere says that Transcribe outperforms current leaders on accuracy — and unlike closed APIs, it can run on an organization's own infrastructure.Cohere, which can...

Last week, one of our product managers (PMs) built and shipped a feature. Not spec'd it. Not filed a ticket for it. Built it, tested it, and shipped it to production. In a day.A few days earlier, our designer noticed that the visual appearance of our IDE plugins had drifted from the design system. In the old world, that meant screenshots, a JIRA ticket, a conversation to explain the intent,... Read more ›

Many people have tried AI tools and walked away unimpressed. I get it — many demos promise magic, but in practice, the results can feel underwhelming.That’s why I want to write this not as a futurist prediction, but from lived experience. Over the past six months, I turned my engineering organization AI-first. I’ve shared before about the system behind that transformation — how we built the workflows, the metrics, and... Read more ›

Processing 200,000 tokens through a large language model is expensive and slow: the longer the context, the faster the costs spiral. Researchers at Tsinghua University and Z.ai have built a technique called IndexCache that cuts up to 75% of the redundant computation in sparse attention models, delivering up to 1.82x faster time-to-first-token and 1.48x faster generation throughput at that context length.The technique applies to models using the DeepSeek Sparse Attention...

Intercom is taking an unusual gamble for a legacy software company: building its own AI model.The 15-year-old, Dublin, Ireland-based massive customer service platform announced Fin Apex 1.0 on Thursday, a small, purpose-built AI model that the company claims outperforms leading frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic on the metrics that matter most for customer support. The model powers Intercom's existing Fin AI agent, which already handles over one million customer... Read more ›

The enterprise voice AI market is in the middle of a land grab. ElevenLabs and IBM announced a collaboration just this week to bring premium voice capabilities into IBM's watsonx Orchestrate platform. Google Cloud has been expanding its Chirp 3 HD voices. OpenAI continues to iterate on its own speech synthesis. And the market underpinning all of this activity is enormous — voice AI crossed $22 billion globally in 2026,... Read more ›
