When startup fundraising platform VentureCrowd began deploying AI coding agents, they saw the same gains as other enterprises: they cut the front-end development cycle by 90% in some projects. However, it didn’t come easy or without a lot of trial and error. VentureCrowd’s first challenge revolved around data and context quality, since Diego Mogollon, chief …
Enterprise data stacks were built for humans running scheduled queries. As AI agents increasingly act autonomously on behalf of businesses around the clock, that architecture is breaking down — and vendors are racing to rebuild it. Google’s answer, announced at Cloud Next on Wednesday, is the Agentic Data Cloud. The architecture has three pillars: Knowledge …
Cirrascale Cloud Services today announced it has expanded its partnership with Google Cloud to deliver the Gemini model on-premises through Google Distributed Cloud, making it the first neocloud provider to offer Google’s most advanced AI model as a fully private, disconnected appliance. The announcement, timed to coincide with Google Cloud Next 2026 in Las Vegas, …
Google on Monday unveiled the most significant upgrade to its autonomous research agent capabilities since the product’s debut, launching two new agents — Deep Research and Deep Research Max — that for the first time allow developers to fuse open web data with proprietary enterprise information through a single API call, produce native charts and …
One employee at Vercel adopted an AI tool. One employee at that AI vendor got hit with an infostealer. That combination created a walk-in path to Vercel’s production environments through an OAuth grant that nobody had reviewed. Vercel, the cloud platform behind Next.js and its millions of weekly npm downloads, confirmed on Sunday that attackers …

It’s been only a few months since OpenAI released its last big improvement to AI image generations in ChatGPT and through its application programming interface (API) — namely, a new image generation model known as GPT-Image-1.5, released in December 2025, which brought about improved instruction following, colors, and lighting. Now, after weeks of testing, the …
Decision makers at 72% of organizations claim to have two or more AI platforms that they identify as their “primary” layer, according to a survey of 40 enterprise companies conducted by VentureBeat last month, revealing real gaps in security and control. For enterprise management and technical leaders, and especially security leaders, these multiple AI platforms …
Most orchestration frameworks were built for agents that run for seconds or minutes. Now that agents are running for hours — and in some cases days — those frameworks are starting to crack. Several model providers, such as Anthropic with Claude Code and OpenAI with Codex, introduced early support for long-horizon agents through multi-session tasks, …

A security researcher, working with colleagues at Johns Hopkins University, opened a GitHub pull request, typed a malicious instruction into the PR title, and watched Anthropic’s Claude Code Security Review action post its own API key as a comment. The same prompt injection worked on Google’s Gemini CLI Action and GitHub’s Copilot Agent (Microsoft). No …
Looking at enterprise AI adoption, VentureBeat has anecdotally observed a fairly wide divergence when it comes to specific roles: For those who build—engineers and developers—the arrival of AI has been transformative, moving through the workflow with the speed of tools like Claude Code and Cursor to automate the heavy lifting of syntax and architecture. Yet, …
