Presented by SAP The consumer packaged goods industry is experiencing a fundamental shift that's forcing even the most established brands to rethink how they operate. It's what some folks call the CPG squeeze, or a convergence of margin compression, trade policy headwinds, and the sobering reality that pricing-led growth is no longer a viable strategy. For companies that have relied on price increases to drive revenue, it's a structural change... Read more ›

Clawdbot's MCP implementation has no mandatory authentication, allows prompt injection, and grants shell access by design. Monday's VentureBeat article documented these architectural flaws. By Wednesday, security researchers had validated all three attack surfaces and found new ones.Commodity infostealers are already exploiting this. RedLine, Lumma, and Vidar added the AI agent to their target lists before most security teams knew it was running in their environments. Shruti Gandhi, general partner at... Read more ›

AI agents can talk to each other now — they just can't understand what the other one is trying to do. That's the problem Cisco's Outshift is trying to solve with a new architectural approach it calls the Internet of Cognition.The gap is practical: protocols like MCP and A2A let agents exchange messages and identify tools, but they don't share intent or context. Without that, multi-agent systems burn cycles on... Read more ›

Two days after releasing what analysts call the most powerful open-source AI model ever created, researchers from China's Moonshot AI logged onto Reddit to face a restless audience. The Beijing-based startup had reason to show up. Kimi K2.5 had just landed headlines about closing the gap with American AI giants and testing the limits of US. chip export controls. But the developers waiting on r/LocalLLaMA, a forum where engineers trade... Read more ›

The generative AI era has sped everything up for most enterprises we talk to, especially development cycles (thanks to "vibe coding" and "agentic swarming").But even as they seek to leverage the power of new AI-assisted programming tools and coding agents like Claude Code to generate code, enterprises must contend with a looming concern — no, not safety (although that's another one!): cloud spend. According to Gartner, public cloud spend will... Read more ›

Airtable is applying its data-first design philosophy to AI agents with the debut of Superagent on Tuesday. It's a standalone research agent that deploys teams of specialized AI agents working in parallel to complete research tasks.The technical innovation lies in how Superagent's orchestrator maintains context. Earlier agent systems used simple model routing where an intermediary filtered information between models. Airtable's orchestrator maintains full visibility over the entire execution journey: the...

Presented by SAPTen years ago, Western Sugar made a decision that would prove prescient: move from on-premise SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition. At the time, artificial intelligence wasn't a priority on most roadmaps. The company was simply trying to escape what Director of Corporate Controlling, Richard Caluori, calls "a trainwreck:” a heavily customized ERP system so laden with custom ABAP code that it had become unupgradable.Today, that...

The average enterprise SOC receives 10,000 alerts per day. Each requires 20 to 40 minutes to investigate properly, but even fully staffed teams can only handle 22% of them. More than 60% of security teams have admitted to ignoring alerts that later proved critical.Running an efficient SOC has never been harder, and now the work itself is changing. Tier-1 analyst tasks — like triage, enrichment, and escalation — are becoming... Read more ›

Chinese company Moonshot AI upgraded its open-sourced Kimi K2 model, transforming it into a coding and vision model with an architecture that supports an agent swarm orchestration. The new model, Moonshot Kimi K2.5, is a good option for enterprises that want agents that can automatically pass off actions instead of having a framework be a central decision maker.The company characterized Kimi K2.5 as an “all-in-one model” that supports both visual...

As artificial intelligence reshapes software development, a small startup is betting that the industry's next big bottleneck won't be writing code — it will be trusting it.Theorem, a San Francisco-based company that emerged from Y Combinator's Spring 2025 batch, announced Tuesday it has raised $6 million in seed funding to build automated tools that verify the correctness of AI-generated software. Khosla Ventures led the round, with participation from Y Combinator,... Read more ›

Presented by Avalon HolographicsThe pace of AI continues to be staggering. From simple pattern recognition systems to large language models (LLMs), and now as we move into the physical AI reality, the power of these systems continues to improve our lives. But humans always need to be in the loop. We need to see the data, interact with it, and identify the simulation-to-reality gaps; we need to help these systems... Read more ›

Model Context Protocol has a security problem that won't go away.When VentureBeat first reported on MCP's vulnerabilities last October, the data was already alarming. Pynt's research showed that deploying just 10 MCP plug-ins creates a 92% probability of exploitation — with meaningful risk even from a single plug-in.The core flaw hasn't changed: MCP shipped without mandatory authentication. Authorization frameworks arrived six months after widespread deployment. As Merritt Baer, chief security... Read more ›

One of the biggest constraints currently facing AI builders who want to deploy agents in service of their individual or enterprise goals is the "working memory" required to manage complex, multi-stage engineering projects.Typically, when a AI agent operates purely on a stream of text or voice-based conversation, it lacks the structural permanence to handle dependencies. It knows what to do, but it often forgets why it is doing it, or... Read more ›

Your web gateway can't see it. Your cloud access broker can't see it. Your endpoint protection can't see it. And yet 95% of organizations experienced browser-based attacks last year, according to Omdia research conducted across more than 1,000 IT and security leaders.Still, three campaigns in 12 months are making the threat more concrete. ShadyPanda infected 4.3 million users through extensions that had been legitimate for seven years. Cyberhaven's security extension... Read more ›
