Lowering the cost of inference is typically a combination of hardware and software. A new analysis released Thursday by Nvidia details how four leading inference providers are reporting 4x to 10x reductions in cost per token.The dramatic cost reductions were achieved using Nvidia's Blackwell platform with open-source models. Production deployment data from Baseten, DeepInfra, Fireworks AI and Together AI shows significant cost improvements across healthcare, gaming, agentic chat, and customer... Read more ›

Chinese AI startup Zhupai aka z.ai is back this week with an eye-popping new frontier large language model: GLM-5.The latest in z.ai's ongoing and continually impressive GLM series, it retains an open source MIT License — perfect for enterprise deployment – and, in one of several notable achievements, achieves a record-low hallucination rate on the independent Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.0. With a score of -1 on the AA-Omniscience Index—representing... Read more ›

Anthropic released its Claude Cowork AI agent software for Windows on Monday, bringing the file management and task automation tool to roughly 70 percent of the desktop computing market and intensifying a remarkable corporate realignment that has seen Microsoft embrace a direct competitor to its longtime AI partner, OpenAI.The Windows launch arrives with what Anthropic calls "full feature parity" with the macOS version: file access, multi-step task execution, plugins, and...

When enterprises fine-tune LLMs for new tasks, they risk breaking everything the models already know. This forces companies to maintain separate models for every skill.Researchers at MIT, the Improbable AI Lab and ETH Zurich have developed a new technique that enables large language models to learn new skills and knowledge without forgetting their past capabilities.Their technique, called self-distillation fine-tuning (SDFT), allows models to learn directly from demonstrations and their own...

The rapid viral adoption of Austrian developer Peter Steinberger's open source AI assistant OpenClaw in recent weeks has sent enterprises and indie developers into a tizzy.It's easy to easy why: OpenClaw is freely available now and offers a powerful means of autonomously completing work and performing tasks across a user's entire computer, phone, or even business with natural language prompts that spin up swarms of agents. Since its release in... Read more ›

Presented by Cisco AI agents are breaking traditional IT operations models, adding complexity, data silos, and fragmented workflows. DJ Sampath, Cisco's SVP of AI Software and Platform, believes that AgenticOps is the solution: a new operational paradigm where humans and AI collaborate in real time to create efficiency, boost security, and allow for innovative technological applications.In a recent conversation with VentureBeat, Sampath outlined why current enterprise IT management is fundamentally...

Until recently, the practice of building AI agents has been a bit like training a long-distance runner with a thirty-second memory. Yes, you could give your AI models tools and instructions, but after a few dozen interactions — several laps around the track, to extend our running analogy — it would inevitably lose context and start hallucinating. With OpenAI's latest updates to its Responses API — the application programming interface... Read more ›

RAG isn't always fast enough or intelligent enough for modern agentic AI workflows. As teams move from short-lived chatbots to long-running, tool-heavy agents embedded in production systems, those limitations are becoming harder to work around.In response, teams are experimenting with alternative memory architectures — sometimes called contextual memory or agentic memory — that prioritize persistence and stability over dynamic retrieval.One of the more recent implementations of this approach is "observation Read more ›

Fraud protection is a race against scale. For instance, Mastercard’s network processes roughly 160 billion transactions a year, and experiences surges of 70,000 transactions a second during peak periods (like the December holiday rush). Finding the fraudulent purchases among those — without chasing false alarms — is an incredible task, which is why fraudsters have been able to game the system. But now, sophisticated AI models can probe down to... Read more ›

Presented by EdgeVerveBefore addressing Global Business Services (GBS), let’s take a step back. Can agentic AI, the type of AI able to take goal-driven action, transform not just GBS but any kind of enterprise? And has it done so yet? As with many new technologies, rhetoric has outpaced deployment in this case. While 2025 was “supposed to be the year of agentic AI,” it didn’t turn out that way, according... Read more ›

In a major milestone for the "AI coding wars," OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed on X that the company's standalone Codex application (currently only for Mac computers) surpassed 1 million downloads in its first week of availability, echoing the explosive growth of OpenAI's hit chatbot ChatGPT after it first launched in late 2022.The surge reflects a 60% week-over-week growth in overall Codex users, following the February 2 launch of the...

A team of researchers led by Nvidia has released DreamDojo, a new AI system designed to teach robots how to interact with the physical world by watching tens of thousands of hours of human video — a development that could significantly reduce the time and cost required to train the next generation of humanoid machines.The research, published this month and involving collaborators from UC Berkeley, Stanford, the University of Texas...

Today's AI challenge is about agent coordination, context, and collaboration. How do you enable them to truly think together, with all the contextual understanding, negotiation, and shared purpose that entails? It's a critical next step toward a new kind of distributed intelligence that keeps humans firmly in the loop.At the latest stop on VentureBeat's AI Impact Series, Vijoy Pandey, SVP and GM of Outshift by Cisco, and Noah Goodman, Stanford...

Presented by F5As enterprises pour billions into GPU infrastructure for AI workloads, many are discovering that their expensive compute resources sit idle far more than expected. The culprit isn't the hardware. It’s the often-invisible data delivery layer between storage and compute that's starving GPUs of the information they need."While people are focusing their attention, justifiably so, on GPUs, because they're very significant investments, those are rarely the limiting factor," says...

The "OpenClaw moment" represents the first time autonomous AI agents have successfully "escaped the lab" and moved into the hands of the general workforce. Originally developed by Austrian engineer Peter Steinberger as a hobby project called "Clawdbot" in November 2025, the framework went through a rapid branding evolution to "Moltbot" before settling on "OpenClaw" in late January 2026. Unlike previous chatbots, OpenClaw is designed with "hands"—the ability to execute shell... Read more ›

A developer gets a LinkedIn message from a recruiter. The role looks legitimate. The coding assessment requires installing a package. That package exfiltrates all cloud credentials from the developer’s machine — GitHub personal access tokens, AWS API keys, Azure service principals and more — are exfiltrated, and the adversary is inside the cloud environment within minutes.Your email security never saw it. Your dependency scanner might have flagged the package. Nobody... Read more ›

Researchers from Stanford, Nvidia, and Together AI have developed a new technique that can discover new solutions to very complex problems. For example, they managed to optimize a critical GPU kernel to run 2x faster than the previous state-of-the-art written by human experts.Their technique, called “Test-Time Training to Discover” (TTT-Discover), challenges the current paradigm of letting models “think longer” for reasoning problems. TTT-Discover allows the model to continue training during... Read more ›
