Mistral AI, the French artificial intelligence company that has positioned itself as Europe's leading challenger to American AI giants, announced on Tuesday the general availability of Mistral Vibe 2.0, a significant upgrade to its terminal-based coding agent that’s the startup's most aggressive push yet into the competitive AI-assisted software development market.The release is a pivotal moment...
As artificial intelligence reshapes software development, a small startup is betting that the industry's next big bottleneck won't be writing code — it will be trusting it.Theorem, a San Francisco-based company that emerged from Y Combinator's Spring 2025 batch, announced Tuesday it has raised $6 million in seed funding to build automated tools that verify the correctness of AI-generated software...
Presented by Avalon HolographicsThe pace of AI continues to be staggering. From simple pattern recognition systems to large language models (LLMs), and now as we move into the physical AI reality, the power of these systems continues to improve our lives. But humans always need to be in the loop. We need to see the data, interact with it, and identify the simulation-to-reality gaps; we need to...
Model Context Protocol has a security problem that won't go away.When VentureBeat first reported on MCP's vulnerabilities last October, the data was already alarming. Pynt's research showed that deploying just 10 MCP plug-ins creates a 92% probability of exploitation — with meaningful risk even from a single plug-in.The core flaw hasn't changed: MCP shipped without mandatory authentication....
Chinese AI and tech firms continue to impress with their development of cutting-edge, state-of-the-art AI language models.Today, the one drawing eyeballs is Alibaba Cloud's Qwen Team of AI researchers and its unveiling of a new proprietary language reasoning model, Qwen3-Max-Thinking.You may recall, as VentureBeat covered last year, that Qwen has made a name for itself in the fast-moving global...
One of the biggest constraints currently facing AI builders who want to deploy agents in service of their individual or enterprise goals is the "working memory" required to manage complex, multi-stage engineering projects.Typically, when a AI agent operates purely on a stream of text or voice-based conversation, it lacks the structural permanence to handle dependencies. It knows what to do, but...
Anthropic announced Monday that users can now open and interact with popular business applications directly inside Claude, the company's AI assistant—a significant expansion that transforms the chatbot from a conversational tool into an integrated workspace where employees can build project timelines, draft Slack messages, create presentations, and visualize data without switching browser tabs....
Your web gateway can't see it. Your cloud access broker can't see it. Your endpoint protection can't see it. And yet 95% of organizations experienced browser-based attacks last year, according to Omdia research conducted across more than 1,000 IT and security leaders.Still, three campaigns in 12 months are making the threat more concrete. ShadyPanda infected 4.3 million users through extensions...
When Anthropic announced Monday that it was embedding nine workplace applications directly inside Claude, transforming its AI chatbot into what I earlier described as a "workplace command center," Asana was among the headliners.But while the broader launch signals a new era of AI-native productivity tools, Asana's participation reflects a deeper strategic bet — one that positions the project...
Presented by Insight EnterprisesOrganizations today are trapped in proof-of-concept purgatory because yesterday’s models don’t work for today’s AI challenges.Everyone’s racing to prove what AI could do. But the real winners are those who have realized that AI deployment is not a technology project — it is a core operational capability. Success depends on execution, not just far-reaching visions...
