Adversaries injected malicious prompts into legitimate AI tools at more than 90 organizations in 2025, stealing credentials and cryptocurrency. Every one of those compromised tools could read data, and none of them could rewrite a firewall rule. The autonomous SOC agents shipping now can. That escalation, from compromised tools that read data to autonomous agents …
The standard guidelines for building large language models (LLMs) optimize only for training costs and ignore inference costs. This poses a challenge for real-world applications that use inference-time scaling techniques to increase the accuracy of model responses, such as drawing multiple reasoning samples from a model at deployment. To bridge this gap, researchers at University …
A rogue AI agent at Meta passed every identity check and still exposed sensitive data to unauthorized employees in March. Two weeks later, Mercor, a $10 billion AI startup, confirmed a supply-chain breach through LiteLLM. Both are traced to the same structural gap. Monitoring without enforcement, enforcement without isolation. A VentureBeat three-wave survey of 108 …

Anthropic today launched Claude Design, a new product from its Anthropic Labs division that allows users to create polished visual work — designs, interactive prototypes, slide decks, one-pagers, and marketing collateral — through conversational prompts and fine-grained editing controls. The release, available immediately in research preview to all paid Claude subscribers, is the company’s most …
For the past year, early adopters of autonomous AI agents have been forced to play a murky game of chance: keep the agent in a useless sandbox or give it the keys to the kingdom and hope it doesn’t hallucinate a catastrophic “delete all” command. To unlock the true utility of an agent—scheduling meetings, triaging …
Salesforce on Wednesday unveiled the most ambitious architectural transformation in its 27-year history, introducing “Headless 360” — a sweeping initiative that exposes every capability in its platform as an API, MCP tool, or CLI command so AI agents can operate the entire system without ever opening a browser. The announcement, made at the company’s annual …
Enterprise AI is entering a new phase — one where the central question is no longer what can be built, but how to make the most of our AI investment. At VentureBeat’s latest AI Impact Tour session, Brian Gracely, director of portfolio strategy at Red Hat, described the operational reality inside large organizations: AI sprawl, …

Confirming it has reached 3 million weekly developers, OpenAI is massively updating its Codex developer environment via its Mac and Windows desktop apps today to bring it closer to the “Super App” the company has confirmed it is pursuing. Before today, Codex was primarily an environment for using OpenAI’s underlying language models to write, edit, …
The journey from a laboratory hypothesis to a pharmacy shelf is one of the most grueling marathons in modern industry, typically spanning 10 to 15 years and billions of dollars in investment. Progress is often stymied not just by the inherent mysteries of biology, but by the “fragmented and difficult to scale” workflows that force …
Anthropic is publicly releasing its most powerful large language model yet, Claude Opus 4.7, today — as it continues to keep an even more powerful successor, Mythos, restricted to a small number of external enterprise partners for cybersecurity testing and patching vulnerabilities in the software said enterprises use (which Mythos exposed rapidly). The big headlines …
