NanoClaw and JFrog launch ‘immune system’ to block AI agents from downloading malicious code

The creators of the hit, enterprise-friendly, open source OpenClaw variant NanoClaw are partnering with software supply chain management leader JFrog have to launch a new, joint security integration they say will protect NanoClaw autonomous agents from malicious code injection. “These agents are doing things that you cannot necessarily control, and you cannot necessarily train,” said … Read more

PixelRAG beats text parsers on accuracy and cuts AI agent token costs 10x

PixelRAG beats text parsers on accuracy and cuts AI agent token costs 10x

Most enterprise RAG pipelines start the same way: a text parser converts web pages and documents into plain text so they can be chunked and indexed for retrieval. That conversion step destroys retrieval signals — and according to new research, it’s responsible for the majority of wrong answers.A research team from UC Berkeley, Princeton University, … Read more
