Anthropic and Microsoft have struck an alliance on agents but the tussle over the future of the technology will only intensify

In the race to adopt and show value from AI, enterprises are moving faster than ever to deploy agentic AI as copilots, assistants, and autonomous task-runners. In late 2025, nearly two-thirds of companies were experimenting with AI agents, while 88% were using AI in at least one business function, up from 78% in 2024, according…

The impact of artificial intelligence extends far beyond the digital world and into our everyday lives, across the cars we drive, the appliances in our homes, and medical devices that keep people alive. More and more, product engineers are turning to AI to enhance, validate, and streamline the design of the items that furnish our…

The US military might use generative AI systems to rank lists of targets and make recommendations—which would be vetted by humans—about which to strike first, according to a Defense Department official with knowledge of the matter. The disclosure about how the military may use AI chatbots comes as the Pentagon faces scrutiny over a strike…

Managing the economics of multi-agent AI now dictates the financial viability of modern business automation workflows.

We build an automated experimentation pipeline that clones the AutoResearch repository, prepares a lightweight training environment, and runs a baseline experiment to establish initial performance metrics. We then create an automated research loop that programmatically edits the hyperparameters […]

Models like Sora, Veo, and Runway just do not seem all that […]

Today we’re talking about the messy, fast-moving situation at Anthropic, the maker of Claude that now finds itself in a very ugly legal battle with the Pentagon. The back-and-forth is complicated, but as of a few days ago, the Pentagon had deemed Anthropic a supply chain risk, and Anthropic has filed a lawsuit challenging that […]

Anthropic’s latest update to Claude will allow the AI chatbot to generate custom charts, diagrams, and other visualizations during your conversation. If Claude determines a visual is useful based on the context of your chat, it will insert the image in-line, rather than in its side panel. As an example, Anthropic says a conversation about […]
