Infrastructure and compute: Enterprises are buying AI compute for speed while flying blind on what it costs

Across 170 enterprises, AI infrastructure has moved decisively into production — two-thirds now run AI workloads live and three in 10 run them at scale — while the ability to account for what that infrastructure costs has not kept pace. Enterprises have quietly demoted cost in the buying decision: performance and GPU availability now outrank …

SpaceXAI’s Grok Bot turns agents into persistent digital coworkers that can operate your apps for $120-per-month

SpaceXAI, the division of SpaceX formerly known as xAI, is launching an early beta version of Grok Bot, a new agent designed to move AI assistants beyond answering prompts and toward continuously executing work across the software employees already use. The central idea is straightforward: instead of opening an AI assistant whenever a task arises, …

Why AI-driven purchase intent so rarely becomes a completed sale

Presented by Rezolve Ai When an AI assistant recommends a product or brand, it generates something valuable: a purchase-ready consumer with high intent and low friction in their decision. That consumer has already compared options, asked follow-up questions, and arrived at a conclusion. They want to buy. What they encounter next is a commerce infrastructure …

Mistral AI wants to build 1 gigawatt of European compute by 2030 — and lock in customers now.

Mistral AI wants to turn European AI sovereignty from a talking point into a product — one with a service-level agreement attached. The French artificial intelligence company announced Tuesday a three-part expansion of its infrastructure business: regional inference endpoints that let customers choose whether their AI workloads run in Europe or the United States, a …

Your AI agent may be ready. Your sales motion probably isn’t.

Presented by Salesforce Interested buyers don’t generate revenue. Live customers do. That’s the lesson I keep drawing from watching hundreds of ISV partnerships navigate the agent economy over the last 18 months. The companies pulling ahead aren’t winning on features. They’re winning because customers can move from discovery to live deployment in hours, while competitors …

LTX-2.5 can generate a 10-second AI video from an image in just 6.8 seconds on Nvidia superchips — and it’s open weights

LTX, the open world model company spun out of Lightricks, today released LTX-2.5, the newest version of its open-weights video and “world” model and it arrives natively integrated into ComfyUI, the node-based workflow tool that has become the de facto prototyping environment for open generative media, through a strategic day-one launch partnership between the two …

Nvidia’s Switchyard router reshuffles AI models mid-task, cutting task costs to a third in its own tests

Enterprises running always-on AI agents keep hitting the same tradeoff. Send every task to a frontier model and the bill climbs fast. Build custom routing logic to send easy tasks to cheaper models and that becomes its own engineering project, one that has to be maintained every time a workflow changes. Nvidia is proposing a …

OpenAI launches GPT-5.6-Cyber with reduced refusals, 95% completion on advanced cybersecurity tasks

Earlier today, OpenAI launched GPT-5.6-Cyber, a specialized model designed to perform advanced vulnerability research and exploit development for approved defenders — including categories of work that its general-purpose models will often refuse. GPT-5.6-Cyber is a fine-tuned version of OpenAI’s most advanced general model, GPT-5.6 Sol, unveiled back in June, but trained specifically to improve performance …

AWS Continuum integrates with OpenAI Codex and Anthropic Claude Code in major AI security push

Amazon Web Services is threading its AI-powered security infrastructure directly into the coding environments built by two of its fiercest rivals — and in doing so, it is making a bold bet that controlling the security layer matters more than controlling the model. AWS announced at Black Hat USA 2026 this month that its Continuum …

Brex assumes its AI agents could do anything — so it watches the network, not the code

Brex CEO Pedro Franceschi offered a blueprint for one of the pressing challenges facing the enterprise today at VB Transform 2026: securely deploying AI agents, like the open-source OpenClaw, into production environments. Unlocking this enterprise value requires a mindset shift. The industry needs to move past vague terminology and focus on concrete enterprise roles.  “People …
