Our system did one thing, and it did it well: It turned natural-language questions into API calls.The users were analysts, account managers, and operations leads. They knew what data they needed, but assembling it manually meant pulling from four dashboards, two BI tools, and a Salesforce report builder. With our system, they typed the request in plain English. A request like "Compile a report on sales volume for January through... Read more

Anthropic created the Model Context Protocol as the open standard for AI agent-to-tool communication. OpenAI adopted it in March 2025. Google DeepMind followed. Anthropic donated MCP to the Linux Foundation in December 2025. Downloads crossed 150 million. Then four researchers at OX Security found an architectural problem that affects all of them.MCP's STDIO transport, the default for connecting an AI agent to a local tool, executes any operating system command...

The scaffolding layer that developers once needed to ship LLM applications — indexing layers, query engines, retrieval pipelines, carefully orchestrated agent loops — is collapsing. And according to Jerry Liu, co-founder and CEO of LlamaIndex, that's not a problem. It's the point.“As a result, there's less of a need for frameworks to actually help users compose these deterministic workflows in a light and shallow manner,” Jerry Liu, co-founder and CEO...

While Elon Musk faces off against his former colleague and OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman in court, Musk's rival firm xAI, founded to take on OpenAI, isn't slowing down on launching competitive new products and services.Last night, xAI shipped a new, proprietary base large language model (LLM), Grok 4.3, and a new voice cloning suite on the web. The new products arrive after months of tumult from xAI that saw all... Read more

Presented by TeamViewerEnterprise technology failures are largely invisible. Research from TeamViewer, based on a global survey of 4,200 managers and employees, finds that the majority of digital dysfunction never reaches the IT help desk. Employees work around slow applications, failed logins, and intermittent glitches rather than reporting them, leaving organizations without an accurate picture of how their technology is performing. The cumulative cost is significant: employees lose an average of... Read more

One of the key challenges of building effective AI agents is teaching them to choose between using external tools or relying on their internal knowledge. But large language models are often trained to blindly invoke tools, which causes latency bottlenecks, unnecessary API costs, and degraded reasoning caused by environmental noise. To overcome this challenge, researchers at Alibaba introduced Hierarchical Decoupled Policy Optimization (HDPO), a reinforcement learning framework that trains agents...

Runpod, the high-performance cloud computing and GPU platform designed specifically for AI development, today launched a new open source, MIT licensed, enterprise-friendly Python programming tool called Runpod Flash — and it is poised to make creation, iteration and deployment of AI systems inside and outside of foundation model labs much faster. The tool aims to eliminate some of the biggest barriers and hurdles to training and using AI models today,... Read more

AI is more than a technology — it's magic.Don't believe me? Why, then, is one of the leading companies in the space, OpenAI, publishing entire official, corporate blog posts about goblins?To understand, we first have to go back to earlier this week, on Monday, April 27, 2026, when a developer under the handle @arb8020 on the social network X posted a snippet from the OpenAI open source Codex GitHub repository,...

On March 30, BeyondTrust proved that a crafted GitHub branch name could steal Codex’s OAuth token in cleartext. OpenAI classified it Critical P1. Two days later, Anthropic’s Claude Code source code spilled onto the public npm registry, and within hours, Adversa found Claude Code silently ignored its own deny rules once a command exceeded 50 subcommands. These were not isolated bugs. They were the latest in a nine-month run: six... Read more

Presented by NutanixAs enterprises move from AI experimentation into production deployment, the primary cost driver has shifted away from foundation model training and toward the infrastructure required to run thousands of concurrent inference workloads at scale, with agentic AI as the accelerant. Where early enterprise AI projects involved a handful of large, scheduled training jobs, production agentic environments require continuous support for short-lived, unpredictable requests that consume GPU, network Read more

Something shifted in enterprise RAG in Q1 2026. VB Pulse data spanning January through March tells a consistent story: the market stopped adding retrieval layers and started fixing the ones it already has. Call it the retrieval rebuild.The survey covered three consecutive monthly waves from organizations with 100 or more employees, with between 45 and 58 qualified respondents per month across platform adoption, buyer intent, architecture outlook and evaluation criteria....

Bringing AI agents into the enterprise software development lifecycle is fast becoming the norm. As developers experiment with new platforms, organizations are exposed to potential security and orchestration failures. Systems that work in pilots may fail once the agents start working with real-time data.Legacy tech giant IBM is one of several companies trying to address that gap by introducing more structure into how these workflows run. Yesterday, it announced the... Read more

Enterprise AI teams running centralized orchestration stacks now have a new variable to account for: AWS Quick, which expanded this week to a desktop-native agent that builds a persistent personal knowledge graph and executes actions across local files and SaaS tools — outside the visibility of most control planes.Unlike chat-based copilots that reset with each session, Quick now maintains a continuously updated knowledge graph built from the user's local files,...

Enterprises can't fix their GPU waste problem because the fix makes the problem worse. Releasing idle capacity would improve utilization, but the same shortage driving GPU prices up is exactly why no team will give capacity back. So the fleet sits at roughly 5%, billed by the hour, and the cycle tightens.That pressure — repeated across thousands of enterprises over the past two years — is the reason most companies...

For most data engineering teams, managing pipeline reliability often means waiting for an alert, manually tracing failures across distributed jobs and clusters, and fixing problems after they've already hit the business. Agentic AI needs the data to be there, clean and on time. A pipeline that fails silently or delivers stale data doesn't just break a dashboard — it breaks the AI system depending on it.That gap is what Definity,... Read more

Training AI reasoning models demands resources that most enterprise teams do not have. Engineering teams are often forced to choose between distilling knowledge from large, expensive models or relying on reinforcement learning techniques that provide sparse feedback.Researchers at JD.com and several academic institutions recently introduced a new training paradigm that sidesteps this dilemma. The technique, called Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards with Self-Distillation (RLSD), combines the rel Read more

The AI race lately has felt a bit like a game of tennis: first, Anthropic releases a new, pricey state-of-the-art proprietary model for general users (Claude Opus 4.7), then, a week or so later, its rival OpenAI volleys back with one of its own (GPT-5.5). And all the while, Chinese companies like DeepSeek and even Xiaomi are seeking to appeal to users by playing a different game: nearing the frontier,... Read more
