A rogue AI agent at Meta took action without approval and exposed sensitive company and user data to employees who were not authorized to access it. Meta confirmed the incident to The Information on March 18 but said no user data was ultimately mishandled. The exposure still triggered a major security alert internally.The available evidence suggests the failure occurred after authentication, not...
Chinese electronics and car manufacturer Xiaomi surprised the global AI community today with the release of MiMo-V2-Pro, a new 1-trillion parameter foundation model with benchmarks approaching those of U.S. AI giants OpenAI and Anthropic, but at around a seventh or sixth the cost when accessed over proprietary API — and importantly, sending less than 256,000 tokens-worth of information back and...
In the last few years, Chinese AI startup MiniMax has become one of the most exciting in the crowded global AI marketplace, carving out a reputation for delivering frontier-level large language models (LLMs) with open source licenses and before that, high-quality AI video generation models (Hailuo). The release of MiniMax M2.7 today — a new proprietary LLM designed to perform well powering AI...
In 2026, data engineers working with multi-agent systems are hitting a familiar problem: Agents built on different platforms don’t operate from a shared understanding of the business. The result isn’t model failure — it’s hallucination driven by fragmented context.The problem is that agents built on different platforms, by different teams, do not share a common understanding of how the business...
The generative AI era began for most people with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT in late 2022, but the underlying technology — the "Transformer" neural network architecture that allows AI models to weigh the importance of different words in a sentence (or pixels in an image) differently and train on information in parallel — dates back to Google's seminal 2017 paper "Attention Is All You Need."Yet...
Mistral AI on Monday launched Forge, an enterprise model training platform that allows organizations to build, customize, and continuously improve AI models using their own proprietary data — a move that positions the French AI lab squarely against the hyperscale cloud providers in one of the most consequential and least understood markets in enterprise technology.The announcement caps a...
When an AI agent needs to log into your CRM, pull records from your database, and send an email on your behalf, whose identity is it using? And what happens when no one knows the answer? Alex Stamos, chief product officer at Corridor, and Nancy Wang, CTO at 1Password joined the VB AI Impact Salon Series to dig into the new identity framework challenges that come along with the benefits of agentic...
For the first time on a major AI platform release, security shipped at launch — not bolted on 18 months later. At Nvidia GTC this week, five security vendors announced protection for Nvidia's agentic AI stack, four with active deployments, one with validated early integration.The timing reflects how fast the threat has moved: 48% of cybersecurity professionals rank agentic AI as the top attack...
Every few years, a piece of open-source software arrives that rewires how the industry thinks about computing. Linux did it for servers. Docker did it for deployment. OpenClaw — the autonomous AI agent platform that went from niche curiosity to the fastest-growing open-source project in history in a matter of weeks — may be doing it for software itself. Nvidia CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang made...
Nvidia researchers have introduced a new technique that dramatically reduces how much memory large language models need to track conversation history — by as much as 20x — without modifying the model itself. The method, called KV Cache Transform Coding (KVTC), applies ideas from media compression formats like JPEG to shrink the key-value cache behind multi-turn AI systems, lowering GPU memory...
