Google's newest AI model is here: Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, and the biggest improvements this time around come in cost and speed, especially for enterprises and developers seeking to leverage powerful reasoning and multimodal capabilities from the U.S. search and cloud giant.Positioning it as the most cost-efficient and responsive model in the Gemini 3 series, Google is offering a solution built specifically for intelligence at scale. This launch arrives just weeks... Read more ›

When an OpenAI finance analyst needed to compare revenue across geographies and customer cohorts last year, it took hours of work — hunting through 70,000 datasets, writing SQL queries, verifying table schemas. Today, the same analyst types a plain-English question into Slack and gets a finished chart in minutes.The tool behind that transformation was built by two engineers in three months. Seventy percent of its code was written by AI.... Read more ›

OpenAI's GPT-5.3 Instant — the company's most widely used model — reduces hallucinations by up to 26.8% compared to its predecessor, prioritizing accuracy and conversational reliability over raw performance gains, OpenAI says.GPT-5.3 Instant, which is essentially the default and is the most used model for ChatGPT users, also improves on tone, relevance and conversation with fewer refusals. It is available on both ChatGPT and on the API. Right now, only... Read more ›

Intuit has lost more than 40% of its market cap since the beginning of the year. It's not alone. Many established SaaS players have seen their stock prices fall in recent months, including Adobe and IBM — the latter experiencing its most significant one-day drop (roughly $40 billion) with Anthropic's announcement that Claude could now read, analyze and translate legacy COBOL into modern languages like Java and Python. The market... Read more ›

Despite political turmoil in the U.S. AI sector, in China, the AI advances are continuing apace without a hitch.Earlier today, e-commerce giant Alibaba's Qwen Team of AI researchers, focused primarily on developing and releasing to the world a growing family of powerful and capable Qwen open source language and multimodal AI models, unveiled its newest batch, the Qwen3.5 Small Model Series, which consists of:Qwen3.5-0.8B & 2B: Two models, both ptimized...

AI is evolving beyond a helpful tool to an autonomous agent, creating new risks for cybersecurity systems. Alignment faking is a new threat where AI essentially “lies” to developers during the training process. Traditional cybersecurity measures are unprepared to address this new development. However, understanding the reasons behind this behavior and implementing new methods of training and detection can help developers work to mitigate risks.Understanding AI alignment fakingAI alignment occurs...

Most people don’t appreciate the profound threat that AI will soon pose to human agency. A common refrain is that “AI is just a tool,” and like any tool, its benefits and dangers depend on how people use it. This is old-school thinking. AI is transitioning from tools we use to prosthetics we wear. This will create significant new threats we’re just not prepared for.No, I’m not talking about creepy... Read more ›

Most discussions about vibe coding usually position generative AI as a backup singer rather than the frontman: Helpful as a performer to jump-start ideas, sketch early code structures and explore new directions more quickly. Caution is often urged regarding its suitability for production systems where determinism, testability and operational reliability are non-negotiable. However, my latest project taught me that achieving production-quality work with an AI assistant requires more than just... Read more ›

The relationship between one of Silicon Valley's most lucrative and powerful AI model makers, Anthropic, and the U.S. government reached a breaking point on Friday, February 27, 2026.President Donald J. Trump and the White House posted on social media ordering all federal agencies to immediately cease using technology from Anthropic, the maker of the powerful Claude family of AI models, after reportedly months of renegotiating a less than two-year-old contract....

For the past year, the enterprise AI community has been locked in a debate about how much freedom to give AI agents. Too little, and you get expensive workflow automation that barely justifies the "agent" label. Too much, and you get the kind of data-wiping disasters that plagued early adopters of tools like OpenClaw. This week, Google Labs released an update to Opal, its no-code visual agent builder, that quietly... Read more ›

The landscape of enterprise artificial intelligence shifted fundamentally today as OpenAI announced $110 billion in new funding from three of tech's largest firms: $30 billion from SoftBank, $30 billion from Nvidia, and $50 billion from Amazon.But while the former two players are providing money, OpenAI is going further with Amazon in a new direction, establishing an upcoming fully "Stateful Runtime Environment" on Amazon Web Services (AWS), the world's most used...

AI agents now carry more access and more connections to enterprise systems than any other software in the environment. That makes them a bigger attack surface than anything security teams have had to govern before, and the industry doesn't yet have a framework for it. "If that attack vector gets utilized, it can result in a data breach, or even worse," said Spiros Xanthos, founder and CEO of Resolve AI,... Read more ›

Former Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey's new company Block — the parent of merchants payment system Square, mobile peer-to-peer payments Cash App, music streamer Tidal, and open source AI agentic system Goose — is sending shockwaves across the business world tonight after announcing a more than 40% headcount, cutting its workforce by more than 4,000 people out of a prior total of 10,000, despite its latest quarterly earnings statement released today...

In building LLM applications, enterprises often have to create very long system prompts to adjust the model’s behavior for their applications. These prompts contain company knowledge, preferences, and application-specific instructions. At enterprise scale, these contexts can push inference latency past acceptable thresholds and drive per-query costs up significantly. On-Policy Context Distillation (OPCD), a new training framework proposed by researchers at Microsoft, helps bake the knowledge and preferences Read more ›

When your average daily token usage is 8 billion a day, you have a massive scale problem. This was the case at AT&T, and chief data officer Andy Markus and his team recognized that it simply wasn’t feasible (or economical) to push everything through large reasoning models. So, when building out an internal Ask AT&T personal assistant, they reconstructed the orchestration layer. The result: A multi-agent stack built on LangChain... Read more ›

For the last six months, enterprises wanting to deploy high quality AI image generation at scale have faced an uncomfortable trade-off: pay premium prices for Google's Nano Banana Pro model, or settle for cheaper (sometimes free), faster, but noticeably inferior alternatives — especially in terms of enterprise requirements like embedded accurate text, slides, diagrams, and other non aesthetic information. Today, Google DeepMind is attempting to collapse that gap with the... Read more ›

Attackers jailbroke Anthropic’s Claude and ran it against multiple Mexican government agencies for approximately a month. They stole 150 GB of data from Mexico’s federal tax authority, the national electoral institute, four state governments, Mexico City’s civil registry, and Monterrey’s water utility, Bloomberg reported. The haul included documents related to 195 million taxpayer records, voter records, government employee credentials, and civil registry files. The attackers' weapon of choice wasn’t malwar Read more ›

ServiceNow is handling 90% of its own employee IT requests autonomously, resolving cases 99% faster than human agents. On Thursday it announced the product technology it wants to use to do the same for everyone else.Organizations have spent three years running pilots that stall when AI gets to the execution layer. The agent can identify the problem and recommend a fix, then hand it back to a human because it... Read more ›
