Meta researchers taught an 8B AI model to match Claude Opus 4.5 — without the frontier price tag

Consider an AI agent tasked with a complex enterprise workflow like migrating massive batches of customer records from a legacy CRM to a cloud database. The agent cannot rely solely on its internal context window for a job spanning hours and depends on the runtime layer, aka the harness. This harness provides execution feedback, like …

The three layers of agentic AI security: A defense-in-depth architecture for autonomous agents

Presented by Nutanix Autonomous systems that can reason, make their own decisions, and execute actions across an environment introduce a category of risk that application-level controls were never built to contain. Treating that risk as a single problem produces incomplete architectures, says Oscar Wahlberg, senior director of product management at Nutanix. “The guardrails to catch …

Cohere Parse 5 loses the benchmark on points. It wins on cost per page.

Enterprises trying to feed PDFs, slides and scanned documents into AI pipelines keep running into the same wall: the tools either miss the structure — tables, charts, layout — or cost too much to run at scale. Cohere released Parse 5 on Thursday, positioning it on price-to-performance, not raw accuracy — the right cost-capability mix …

Enterprise AI’s real risk isn’t autonomous agents. It’s the complexity between them.

Presented by Gravitee Agent complexity is the insidious shadow lurking inside enterprises right now that needs a light shone on it. That’s because enterprises don’t deploy a single agent and watch it run, they deploy fleets, each one calling APIs, calling other agents, reaching into applications that were never built with a machine decision-maker in …

When agents act on their own, governance has to live in the data layer

Presented by EDB As enterprises give AI agents more autonomy — the ability to plan, decide, and act across systems without a human approving each step — a hard question moves to the center of every architecture review: When an agent tries to complete an action that it was never authorized to do, what actually …

Visa ships a security AI that patches production code before any human reviews it

Visa’s open-source security harness now finds the vulnerability, writes the fix, and turns an adversarial panel on its own patch before any human reviews it. The whole loop ships on by default. A plain scan of the Visa Vulnerability Agentic Harness runs all 11 stages and edits source files in the target repo unless the …

Salesforce just put its entire CRM inside Claude — and says you’ll never need its app again

Salesforce and Anthropic announced Tuesday a sweeping expansion of their partnership, called Claudeforce, that pushes the world’s largest customer relationship management platform directly inside Claude — a tacit acknowledgment that the future of enterprise software may not involve enterprise software’s own screens at all. The centerpiece of the announcement is Salesforce in Claude, a plugin …

Orchestration is the new challenge for CX in the age of AI agents

Presented by Tata Communications Enterprises are deploying AI agents, voice AI, and automation across messaging, voice, and digital channels faster than the architecture meant to support it. Most of that deployment has involved attaching conversational AI to legacy systems never built for it, says Gaurav Anand, global head of the Customer Interaction Suite at Tata …

The fix for the AI agent that hijacked a company’s DNS: it can propose the change, but it can’t approve it

A security agent read a Cloudflare log, found an attacker’s prompt-injection payload sitting inside it, and rewrote the company’s DNS. The firewall had already blocked that payload, and blocking it is what wrote it into the log. That chain is GhostJacking, which Tenet Security demonstrated on the DEF CON 34 main stage on August 9. …
