Agentic security: Enterprises enforce agent permissions two-thirds of the time — and isolate high-risk agents less than one in five

Across 116 enterprises, agents are in production and so are the incidents: A majority have already had a confirmed agent security event or a near-miss. Two-thirds of enterprises enforce scoped permissions at runtime. Barely one in five isolates its highest-risk agents, making containment the weakest layer in the stack precisely as autonomy scales. Credential sharing …

Agentic reliability and evaluations : Enterprises that got burned by a bad eval are the most likely to remove humans from the loop, not the least

Across 108 enterprises, trust in automated agent evaluation rose sharply in July — and the failure rate it is supposed to predict did not move at all. The share of organizations that fully trust automated evaluation nearly tripled, from 5% in June to 13%, and the complaint that evaluations don’t match real-world outcomes fell 10 …

Agent context layers: Enterprises governing their AI data are catching twice as many bad answers as the ones who aren’t

Across 101 enterprises, the context feeding AI agents is failing often and repeatedly. Sixty-eight percent have traced a confident but wrong agent answer to missing or inconsistent business context in the past six months, and the single most common answer is not “once” but “more than once.” The counterintuitive part is which companies report it. …

Agentic orchestration: Enterprise AI organizations know how to govern agents but still can’t meter what they cost

Across 107 enterprises, agentic orchestration is not a choice of a single platform. The typical enterprise runs three orchestration platforms at once, and selects them for flexibility across models rather than affinity to any single one. Microsoft leads primary usage while Anthropic leads forward consideration by a wide margin.  The AI control plane enterprises expect …

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 …
