Chinese AI Model Uses Less Muscle for Coding Tasks
Zain Hasan, an AI engineer at Together AI, has taught himself to use AI coding assistants while still keeping an eye on cost. He directs difficult problems to a frontier model, meaning one near the current state of the art in reasoning and capability, such as Anthropic's Fable. But if the task that Hasan is outsourcing is more straightforward, he directs it to a less capable-and less expensive-language model. Right now, the cheaper model, for him, tends to be GLM 5.2. Released on 16 June by the Beijing-based lab Z.ai, GLM 5.2 is an open-weights model, meaning any organization with sufficient h
Closing The Series A Gap Is The Next Great Opportunity For Black Founders In The AI Era
While 2026 has shown encouraging signs, with Black-founded startups raising approximately $643 million by late May, the strongest quarter since mid-2022, the improvement was driven largely by a handful of unusually large financings. James Norman and Sean Green, co-founders of Black Operator Ventures share their thoughts on how Black founders can close the Series A gap.
Dell Technologies Capital: How To Build A Deep-Tech Startup For A Market That Isn't Ready Yet And Why AI Won't Kill SaaS
In this interview with Crunchbase News, Daniel Docter, managing director at Dell Technologies Capital, discusses how AI is reshaping SaaS and why he doesn't believe the business model is headed for extinction, why he thinks distribution may ultimately separate the winners from the losers among AI startups, and more.
Advancing next-gen AI with materials science innovation
The conversation about AI often centers on algorithms, computing power, or huge investments in new semiconductor fabrication plants and hyperscale data centers. But beneath each of these advances is another layer of innovation that makes them possible: advanced materials. Every new generation of AI technology demands more processing power, more memory, greater energy efficiency, and...

Introducing Grok on Amazon Bedrock
This post covers what makes Grok 4.3 a great fit for agentic and enterprise workloads, how you access it through Amazon Bedrock, and how to use the capabilities most teams reach for first: a basic chat request, configurable reasoning effort, tool calling, structured output, image input, and stateful multi-turn conversations.
The AI compute gap: Enterprises are buying infrastructure faster than they can measure what it costs
Across 107 enterprises, AI infrastructure spending is accelerating well ahead of the ability to see or steer its economics. Most organizations run their AI on a familiar base of hyperscalers and model-provider APIs, yet the next dollar is aimed at specialized compute almost none of them use today; a majority intend to switch or add providers within the year, many within a quarter. Buying decisions turn on integration and total cost of ownership rather than headline token price - which is fortunate, because most enterprises cannot yet see their unit economics clearly: GPUs sit at half utilizati
The agent security gap: 54% of enterprises have already had an AI agent incident, and most still let agents share credentials
Across 107 enterprises, AI agents are being given real access to systems and data while the controls meant to contain them lag behind. More than half have already had a confirmed agent security incident or a near-miss; only about a third give every agent its own scoped identity, and most agents still share credentials; and only three in ten isolate their highest-risk agents. The security stack is overwhelmingly borrowed from the model providers and hyperscalers rather than purpose-built for agents, spending remains a thin slice of the security budget, and enterprises are evenly split on whethe
Google is a Leader and positioned furthest in Vision and highest in Execution in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Conversational AI Platforms
For the second consecutive year, Google has been named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Conversational AI Platforms. Google received the furthest and highest in positioning on the "Vision" and "Execution" axes and is now ranked #1 in three out of four Critical Capabilities Use Cases. We believe this recognition reflects our continued investment in frontier AI research, enterprise infrastructure, and helping customers move AI from experimentation into production at scale. More importantly, we believe it reflects the success of the organizations building with Gemini Enterprise for Cu
The AI context gap: Enterprise AI organizations have a trust problem, not a retrieval problem - and most are still building the fix
Across 101 enterprises, the infrastructure that feeds AI agents their business context is being built faster than it can be trusted. Retrieval-augmented generation is already the default context source, and provider-native retrieval has quietly overtaken the dedicated vector databases that define the category - yet a majority of enterprises have already watched their agents produce confident, wrong answers traced to missing or inconsistent context. A governed semantic layer is emerging as the fix, but most are still building it; the field is converging on hybrid retrieval; and even as provider
The agent evaluation gap: Enterprise AI organizations have a reality-alignment problem, not a coverage problem - and most are shipping to production anyway
Across 157 enterprises, organizations are granting AI agents more autonomy while trusting the evaluations meant to gate that autonomy less. Half have already shipped an agent that passed their internal evaluations and then failed a customer in production; only one in twenty fully trusts automated evaluation today; and the most-cited weakness is that evaluations do not align with real-world outcomes. Yet two-thirds already allow, or are actively engineering toward, deploying agent changes to production on automated evaluation alone - with no human in the loop. The result is an evaluation gap -
How to Make an Invisible Drone
There are many words that I would never, ever use to describe a drone. Stealthy. Subtle. Whatever the opposite of obnoxious is. Much of this is because of the giant angry bee sound that drones tend to make, but it's also the way that they look in flight: With uncannily linear movements and an even less canny ability to hover perfectly still, they tend to draw the eye as affronts to nature. In a paper presented this week at Robotics Science and Systems 2026 in Sydney, roboticists from Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill., demonstrated a drone called Phantom Twist that is essentially invisibl
