Anthropic is making a calculated bet that the biggest bottleneck in enterprise AI isn’t model intelligence — it’s the fact that most people still use AI alone.In an exclusive interview with VentureBeat, Scott White, Anthropic’s head of product for enterprise, laid out the company’s thesis for what it calls “multiplayer AI”: a shift away from … Read more

Insider Brief The Responsible Fintech Institute and Safeheron have launched a cross-regional pilot to test post-quantum cryptography for digital asset transactions with financial institutions and regulatory stakeholders. The pilot will evaluate an MPC protocol supporting NIST’s ML-DSA-65 standard through wallet generation and on-chain transfers on the quantum-resistant NEAR testnet. Participating institutions will examine technical performance, … Read more

Insider Brief China has named quantum technology as a priority frontier field in a new 2026-2030 plan aimed at strengthening the country’s cybersecurity and information technology industries. The plan also targets advances in high-end chips, software, AI, cybersecurity, blockchain, brain-computer interfaces and other strategic technologies. The document does not specify quantum-related funding, technical milestones or … Read more

Insider Brief Microsoft Research AI for Science’s Skala model is now available through CP2K, allowing researchers to run more accurate quantum simulations of larger molecular systems with the help of AI. CASUS and Microsoft researchers reported that Skala improved simulation accuracy in their test case while maintaining computational efficiency compared with more demanding conventional DFT … Read more

Insider Brief Japan’s Institute for Molecular Science has begun operating Shunkai, the country’s first full-stack neutral-atom quantum computer, integrating hardware and software in a system initially using about 50 qubits. Developed with Hitachi and Infleqtion under Japan’s Moonshot R&D Program, Shunkai uses laser-controlled neutral atoms as qubits and is expected to scale to about 500 … Read more

Enterprise AI has largely been built around context engineering. Teams connect enterprise systems, generate chunks and embeddings, build retrieval pipelines, and assemble the context needed by individual AI applications. While this approach works well for isolated assistants and copilots, it treats enterprise knowledge as application-specific context rather than a shared enterprise asset.As organizations deploy more … Read more

Insider Brief Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University researchers transmitted quantum information through 13 miles of open air, marking the first U.S. demonstration of its kind and extending their quantum network beyond fiber-optic cables. Nighttime tests successfully distributed and measured entangled photons across the free-space optical link, advancing efforts to develop wireless quantum communications. … Read more

For much of the past two years, the general belief in enterprise AI has been that more autonomy equals better performance. Build agents that can plan, decide, and act across multi-step workflows, and give them as much room to run as possible. That assumption is now being tested at scale, in real production environments — … Read more

Yuval Boger interviews Lionel Martellini, finance professor at the EDHEC and founding director of the EDHEC Quantum Institute. Lionel describes his unusual path from finance to astrophysics and why business schools should teach quantum awareness to future leaders. They discuss core quantum concepts, the danger of overhyping “quantum washing,” and the real prospects for quantum … Read more

When an agentic AI system hands a task from a small model to a larger one — or back down again — it pays a steep tax: the receiving model has to recompute the entire conversation from scratch, driving up compute costs and latency. This is a major bottleneck for enterprises building long-horizon, multi-LLM workflows.To … Read more
