Microsoft today announced the general availability of Agent 365 and Microsoft 365 Enterprise 7, two products designed to bring security and governance to the rapidly growing population of AI agents operating inside the world's largest organizations. Both become available on May 1st, alongside Wave 3 of Microsoft 365 Copilot, which expands the company's agentic AI capabilities and adds model...
It’s always the same story: A new technology appears and everyone starts talking about how it’ll change everything. Then capital rushes in, companies form overnight, and valuations climb faster than anyone can justify. Then, many many months later, the warnings arrive, and people suddenly remember the dot-com crash or crypto.You’ve probably seen it before. And if you have, you probably think AI...
Presented by Celonis85% of enterprises want to become agentic within three years — yet 76% admit their operations can’t support it. According to the Celonis 2026 Process Optimization Report, based on a survey of more than 1,600 global business leaders, organizations are aggressively pursuing AI-driven transformation. Yet most acknowledge that the foundational work — modernizing workflows,...
With agentic AI, businesses are conducting business more dynamically. Instead of traditional pre-programmed bots and static rules, agents can now “think” and invent alternate paths when unseen conditions arise. For instance, using a business domain ontology like FIBO (financial industry business ontology) can help keep agents within guardrails and avoid unwanted behavior. The bottleneck is now in...
“When you get a demo and something works 90% of the time, that’s just the first nine.” — Andrej KarpathyThe “March of Nines” frames a common production reality: You can reach the first 90% reliability with a strong demo, and each additional nine often requires comparable engineering effort. For enterprise teams, the distance between “usually works” and “operates like dependable software”...
San Francisco startup Anthropic continues to ship new AI products and services at a blistering pace, despite a messy ongoing dispute with the U.S. Department of War.Today, the company announced Claude Marketplace, a new offering that lets enterprises with an existing Anthropic spend commitment apply part of it toward tools and applications powered by Anthropic's Claude models but made and offered...
As models get smarter and more capable, the "harnesses" around them must also evolve.
This "harness engineering" is an extension of context engineering, says LangChain co-founder and CEO Harrison Chase in a new VentureBeat Beyond the Pilot podcast episode. Whereas traditional AI harnesses have tended to constrain models from running in loops and calling tools, harnesses specifically built for...
Enterprise AI applications that handle large documents or long-horizon tasks face a severe memory bottleneck. As the context grows longer, so does the KV cache, the area where the model’s working memory is stored.A new technique developed by researchers at MIT addresses this challenge with a fast compression method for the KV cache. The technique, called Attention Matching, manages to compact the...
Google senior AI product manager Shubham Saboo has turned one of the thorniest problems in agent design into an open-source engineering exercise: persistent memory.This week, he published an open-source “Always On Memory Agent” on the official Google Cloud Platform Github page under a permissive MIT License, allowing for commercial usage.It was built with Google's Agent Development Kit, or ADK...
What's old is new: the command line — the original, clunky non-graphical interface for interacting with and controlling PCs, where the user just typed in raw commands in code — has become one of the most important interfaces in agentic AI.That shift has been driven in part by the rise of coding-native tools such as Claude Code and Kilo CLI, which have helped establish a model where AI agents do...
