Google's newest AI model is here: Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, and the biggest improvements this time around come in cost and speed, especially for enterprises and developers seeking to leverage powerful reasoning and multimodal capabilities from the U.S. search and cloud giant.Positioning it as the most cost-efficient and responsive model in the Gemini 3 series, Google is offering a solution built...
When an OpenAI finance analyst needed to compare revenue across geographies and customer cohorts last year, it took hours of work — hunting through 70,000 datasets, writing SQL queries, verifying table schemas. Today, the same analyst types a plain-English question into Slack and gets a finished chart in minutes.The tool behind that transformation was built by two engineers in three months....
Endor Labs, the application security startup backed by more than $208 million in venture funding, today launched AURI, a platform that embeds real-time security intelligence directly into the AI coding tools that are reshaping how software gets built. The product is available free to individual developers and integrates natively with popular AI coding assistants including Cursor, Claude, and...
OpenAI's GPT-5.3 Instant — the company's most widely used model — reduces hallucinations by up to 26.8% compared to its predecessor, prioritizing accuracy and conversational reliability over raw performance gains, OpenAI says.GPT-5.3 Instant, which is essentially the default and is the most used model for ChatGPT users, also improves on tone, relevance and conversation with fewer refusals. It is...
Intuit has lost around a third of its market cap since the beginning of the year. It's not alone. Many established SaaS players have seen their stock prices fall in recent months, including Adobe and IBM — the latter experiencing its most significant one-day drop (roughly $40 billion) with Anthropic's announcement that Claude could now read, analyze and translate legacy COBOL into modern...

Most people don’t appreciate the profound threat that AI will soon pose to human agency. A common refrain is that “AI is just a tool,” and like any tool, its benefits and dangers depend on how people use it. This is old-school thinking. AI is transitioning from tools we use to prosthetics we wear. This will create significant new threats we’re just not prepared for.No, I’m not talking about...
AI is evolving beyond a helpful tool to an autonomous agent, creating new risks for cybersecurity systems. Alignment faking is a new threat where AI essentially “lies” to developers during the training process. Traditional cybersecurity measures are unprepared to address this new development. However, understanding the reasons behind this behavior and implementing new methods of training and...
Most discussions about vibe coding usually position generative AI as a backup singer rather than the frontman: Helpful as a performer to jump-start ideas, sketch early code structures and explore new directions more quickly. Caution is often urged regarding its suitability for production systems where determinism, testability and operational reliability are non-negotiable. However, my latest...
The relationship between one of Silicon Valley's most lucrative and powerful AI model makers, Anthropic, and the U.S. government reached a breaking point on Friday, February 27, 2026.President Donald J. Trump and the White House posted on social media ordering all federal agencies to immediately cease using technology from Anthropic, the maker of the powerful Claude family of AI models, after...
