China’s Moonshot AI releases Kimi K3, the largest open-source model ever, rivaling top U.S. systems

Moonshot AI, the Beijing-based artificial intelligence startup backed by Alibaba, on Thursday released Kimi K3 — a 2.8-trillion-parameter model that the company says is now the largest open-source AI model in the world, and one that benchmarks show performs neck-and-neck with the most powerful proprietary systems from Anthropic and OpenAI.The release, timed to land just … Read more

Zero trust must now move at agent speed

Zero trust must now move at agent speed

Presented by Ping Identity Enterprises need to treat zero trust security architecture as an immediate requirement for AI agents rather than a long-term goal, says Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. Zero trust, the security model built on the assumption that no user, device, or system should be automatically trusted, requires continuous verification … Read more

The AI context gap: Enterprise AI organizations have a trust problem, not a retrieval problem — and most are still building the fix

The AI context gap: Enterprise AI organizations have a trust problem, not a retrieval problem — and most are still building the fix

Across 101 enterprises, the infrastructure that feeds AI agents their business context is being built faster than it can be trusted. Retrieval-augmented generation is already the default context source, and provider-native retrieval has quietly overtaken the dedicated vector databases that define the category — yet a majority of enterprises have already watched their agents produce … Read more

The agent evaluation gap: Enterprise AI organizations have a reality-alignment problem, not a coverage problem — and most are shipping to production anyway

The agent evaluation gap: Enterprise AI organizations have a reality-alignment problem, not a coverage problem — and most are shipping to production anyway

Across 157 enterprises, organizations are granting AI agents more autonomy while trusting the evaluations meant to gate that autonomy less. Half have already shipped an agent that passed their internal evaluations and then failed a customer in production; only one in twenty fully trusts automated evaluation today; and the most-cited weakness is that evaluations do … Read more

The agent security gap: 54% of enterprises have already had an AI agent incident, and most still let agents share credentials

The agent security gap: 54% of enterprises have already had an AI agent incident, and most still let agents share credentials

Across 107 enterprises, AI agents are being given real access to systems and data while the controls meant to contain them lag behind. More than half have already had a confirmed agent security incident or a near-miss; only about a third give every agent its own scoped identity, and most agents still share credentials; and … Read more

Quantum Source and Israel’s DDR&D Demonstrate Robust Single-Atom Source for Real-World Quantum Communication

Quantum Source and Israel’s DDR&D Demonstrate Robust Single-Atom Source for Real-World Quantum Communication

Insider Brief Quantum Source demonstrated a deterministic single-atom platform for generating high-fidelity polarization-entangled photon pairs in the robust quantum singlet state. The team showed that the entangled photons maintained their fidelity after transmission through more than one kilometer of unstabilized optical fiber without active polarization control or feedback. The technology aims to support future quantum … Read more
