For the past two years, the technology industry has raced to make AI agents more capable — teaching them to write code, navigate software interfaces, manage files, and orchestrate multi-step workflows with increasing autonomy. What the industry has not done, at least not with any consistency, is answer the question that keeps chief information security … Read more
Agentic AI is moving rapidly from the developer terminal to the corporate world.On Tuesday, OpenAI announced a major update of its agentic AI platform Codex, introducing domain-specific workflows, a rapid, semi-private web hosting feature within it for enterprises called “Sites,” and an in-place editing tool named “Annotations”. The release marks a deliberate strategy to transform … Read more
Alibaba this week released Qwen3.7-Plus, the latest AI large language model (LLM) in its globally beloved and increasingly expansive Qwen family, boasting more multimodal capabilities and a 60% lower cost than the prior, text-only Qwen3.7-Max model released just weeks ago. However, like its immediate predecessor Qwen3.7-Plus is available only under a “closed” commercial license via … Read more
Perplexity AI, the fast-growing search startup now valued at $20 billion, unveiled what it calls the first hybrid local-server inference orchestrator at Computex 2026 on Monday night, demonstrating software that autonomously decides — in real time and mid-task — which AI workloads stay on a user’s device and which get routed to frontier models in … Read more
In Q1 2026, VentureBeat’s Pulse Research surfaced the “Governance Mirage”: the gap between the governance org charts enterprises had drawn and the control layers they had actually built. Forty-three percent said a central team owned AI governance; 23% couldn’t agree on who owned it at all; and 31% named vendor opacity as the single biggest … Read more
Every new AI agent your team deploys starts from scratch: no memory of how the business works, where data lives, or what rules apply. And as agentic coding tools spin up applications faster than anyone can govern them, each one risks becoming another silo outside your data layer entirely. Microsoft is addressing both problems directly … Read more
Insider Brief Zapata Quantum appointed co-founder Jhonathan Romero Fontalvo as Vice President of Product and Ian Rotondi-Gray as Senior Director of Partnerships and Go-To-Market Strategy. Romero Fontalvo will lead product development efforts focused on tools for discovering, developing, and deploying quantum applications at scale. Rotondi-Gray joins from enterprise software roles at Palantir and Oracle and … Read more
Insider Brief Researchers at Rice University have proposed a theory showing that coupling quantum materials to quantum light near a quantum critical point could make it easier to create and extract large-scale quantum entanglement for future technologies. The study suggests that pushing a material close to its quantum critical point lowers the interaction strength normally … Read more
Insider Brief Researchers from The University of Osaka and collaborating institutions developed a cobalt-based thin-film material featuring local honeycomb structures with strong magnetic interactions relevant to quantum materials research. The material was created by introducing approximately 4% cobalt into sodium antimonate, producing stable cobalt honeycomb motifs within a larger honeycomb lattice. The findings suggest that … Read more
Insider Brief Quantum Optics Jena has launched a European-backed project to integrate key quantum key distribution functions onto a single silicon chip, aiming to make quantum-secure communications smaller, less expensive and easier to deploy in data centers, campus networks and critical infrastructure. The three-year PIC-PAM project brings together six partners from Germany’s Thüringen region to … Read more
