Square is launching a new ChatGPT app and Claude plugin, enabling consumers to discover restaurants and seamlessly place orders directly within these AI platforms — and allowing restaurants, in turn, to accept orders from users and their AI agents without any technical capabilities. Even more helpfully for businesses, Square is processing these AI-driven transactions without charging the traditional marketplace commission fees that have historically squeezed the food and beverage sector.However,...

Presented by Splunk Agentic AI is making IT and security teams dramatically more efficient. But it’s also removing the apprenticeship that has long produced experienced operators. As organizations automate more of the work once performed by junior analysts and engineers, they’re confronting a challenge that’s as much about workforce design as architecture design: how to build the next generation of experts when AI handles the work that once trained them.What...

Most enterprise AI deployments so far have focused on coding assistants and customer service bots. Morgan Stanley has deployed agents in one of banking's most accuracy-critical, deadline-driven workflows instead — profit and loss (P&L) reconciliation — and cut the work in half. The counterintuitive part: it got there by making the system less autonomous, not more.Humans stay tightly in the loop, and their decisions are iteratively turned into repeatable rules... Read more ›

Anthropic today released Claude Sonnet 5, a new AI model that the company says delivers near-flagship performance at mid-tier prices — a move designed to give cost-conscious enterprise developers access to powerful agentic capabilities just as the San Francisco-based AI lab barrels toward an initial public offering that will test whether the private market's staggering AI valuations can survive public scrutiny.The release, which Anthropic describes as "the most agentic Sonnet...

For most enterprises, a 90-second training video or a product explainer has never been an easy ask. It means a well planned brief, an internal film crew or an outside vendor, a shoot, an edit, and a round of revisions. Change one line of on-screen text due to a legal review and the whole chain runs again. The cost and the long time lines are why so much internal video... Read more ›

The competitive edge in enterprise AI is shifting to context: which platform can give an agent the right memory, the right retrieval and the right data at the moment of decision.Couchbase on Tuesday announced its AI Data Plane, combining persistent agent memory, real-time context retrieval and an enterprise-managed MCP server in a single operational platform. Couchbase's roots are in caching and high-transaction databases — an architecture the company argues makes...

A few hours ago, Chinese delivery app company Meituan officially unveiled LongCat-2.0 on GitHub, Hugging Face, and its native platform, unmasking the model as the computational engine behind "Owl Alpha," the anonymous stealth model that has spent the last two months commanding global developer charts on OpenRouter. Developed to fundamentally disrupt closed-source enterprise dominance in autonomous software engineering, the 1.6-trillion-parameter Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) system brings a native 1-million-toke Read more ›

Even as the geopolitical conversation around AI continues to grow more fraught following the U.S. government's actions to limit the new models from Anthropic and OpenAI, Chinese open source darling DeepSeek is back with yet another open release that could once again change AI development around the globe. Over the weekend, the firm released DSpark, a new, MIT-Licensed system designed to make large language models answer faster without changing what... Read more ›

A single fake error report hijacked Claude Code in controlled testing — the agent ran the attacker's code with the developer's full privileges, and not one alert fired. EDR, WAF, IAM, and the firewall all missed it completely.Tenet Security's June agentjacking disclosure describes a single crafted Sentry error event — sent through a public credential that requires no breach and no authentication — that injected attacker instructions into error data...

In the past two years, businesses have been trying to fit large language models (LLMs) into support, analytics, development, and internal automation like never before. Along with the increasing adoption of AI technology, another trend is gaining momentum — cybercriminals are taking advantage of the disconnect between assumptions about LLMs and their actual characteristics.In 2025 and 2026, several independent sources have highlighted the same trend: Prompt injection remains one of...

Anthropic recently told its growth team to hire more product managers, not fewer. The reason, as reported in industry coverage, was that Claude Code had quietly turned its engineering org into a team that ships at roughly three times its actual headcount, and the bottleneck moved from the integrated development environment (IDE) to the people deciding what to build.That detail is easy to miss in the noise of every AI...

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...

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...
