Anthropic didn’t intend to introduce Mythos this way. Details of what it calls its most capable AI model yet surfaced through a data leak in its content management system (CMS), revealing a LLM with sharply improved reasoning and coding skills. The data leak, which was the result of the company’s staffers inadvertently exposing material about the LLM, including a draft blog post about it, via a p…

Just as integration catalogs were must-haves at the peak of SaaS, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers are now becoming all the rage for connecting AI agents and enterprise systems. In this paradigm, developers aren’t hand-coding API calls to external systems, nor are users clicking “click to integrate” and entering credentials into GUIs. Instead, agentic systems are looking up available MCP serv…

Paraphrasing William Gibson, the future of AI is here, but it’s nowhere close to evenly distributed yet. Last week in London, I had two conversations about enterprise AI that obliterated any semblance of a neat and tidy story of AI adoption. In the first meeting, the head of engineering at a large hedge fund told me about engineering teams with fleets of agents in full production, and (in his per…

Kotlin 2.3.20 has become the latest version of the JetBrains-built language, featuring an interoperability mode for C or Objective-C libraries and name-based destructuring declarations for property names. Developers also can leverage Kotlin interfaces on JavaScript and TypeScript. The update to the Java rival language was introduced March 16 . Instructions for getting started with the language ca…

AI models cost a lot more to develop than you may think. AI research company Epoch AI has set out all the costs of building a new AI model — and explaining why AI companies are so concerned about perceived threats to their intellectual property. It has looked into this before: Last year, it estimated that of OpenAI’s $5 billion expenditure on R&D, only about 10 percent went on the final training …

OpenAI has introduced a plugin system for Codex, its AI-powered software engineering platform, giving enterprise IT teams a way to package coding workflows, application integrations, and external tool configurations into versioned, installable bundles that can be distributed or blocked across development organizations. “We’re rolling out plugins in Codex,” OpenAI Developers, the company’s officia…

Anthropic has started limiting usage across its Claude subscriptions to cope with rising demand that is stretching its compute capacity. “To manage growing demand for Claude we’re adjusting our 5 hour session limits for free/Pro/Max subs during peak hours. Your weekly limits remain unchanged,” Thariq Shihipar , a member of Anthropic’s technical staff, wrote in a post on X . “During weekdays betwe…

Announced at JavaOne, Project Detroit proposes to break down the walls between Java, Python, and JavaScript. Also in this report: Better ways to instrument your code with Python’s new built-in sampling profiler, another run at using AI locally to rework a Python project, and the question on everyone’s mind right now (surely): What does OpenAI really want with Astral? Top picks for Python readers …

For more than 10 years, enterprise cloud strategy has relied on centralizing as much as possible—shifting workloads from data centers, consolidating operations on hyperscale platforms, and leveraging economies of scale. This approach has reduced infrastructure sprawl, accelerated deployment, and provided nearly unlimited compute and storage. However, the next generation of digital systems increas…

On the surface, the recent critique of a new tool called Context Hub by a developer who created an open-source alternative appears to be an illustration that the tool is vulnerable to misuse. But delve further and it serves as a far greater warning to AI developers of the downside of using non-authoritative sources of information. Two weeks ago, Andrew Ng , founder of a Silicon Valley technical t…

Just-released Version 1.113 of Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code editor emphasizes improvements ranging from chat customizations to support for MCP (Model Context Protocol) in Copilot CLI and Claude agents. Released March 25 , VS Code can be downloaded for Windows, Linux, or Mac via the VS Code download webpage . VS Code 1.113 closely follows VS Code Versions 1.111 and 1.112 as part of Microsoft’s n…

Databricks has previewed a new open agentic Security Information and Event Management software (SIEM) named Lakewatch that signals its first deliberate step beyond data warehousing into security analytics. The data warehouse-provider is pitching Lakewatch as a lower-cost alternative to traditional security tools, arguing that consolidating security analytics into its data platform can reduce over…

Google says its new TurboQuant method could improve how efficiently AI models run by compressing the key-value cache used in LLM inference and supporting more efficient vector search. In tests on Gemma and Mistral models, the company reported significant memory savings and faster runtime with no measurable accuracy loss, including a 6x reduction in memory usage and an 8x speedup in attention-logi…

Serialization is the process of converting a Java object into a sequence of bytes so they can be written to disk, sent over a network, or stored outside of memory. Later, the Java virtual machine (JVM) reads those bytes and reconstructs the original object. This process is called deserialization . Under normal circumstances, objects exist only in memory and disappear when a program terminates. Se…

After many years of being relatively static, the enterprise virtualization landscape is shifting under our feet. As organizations reassess their reliance on traditional hypervisors, driven by cost, licensing disruption, or a broader push toward modernization, many are exploring Kubernetes as the natural consolidation point for both containerized and virtual machine workloads. This is often referr…
