SAP on Monday announced plans to acquire Dremio, which bills itself as an agentic lakehouse company, for an unspecified price. The move is complicated by similar offerings from existing SAP partners Snowflake and Databricks, but analysts point to key differences with Dremio, especially in its ability to work with data while it sits in the enterprise’s environment, rather than having to live exter…

Anthropic, of all companies, just shipped three quality regressions in Claude Code that its own evals didn’t catch. Think about that. Three regressions over a short six weeks, by the most sophisticated eval shop in AI. If this can happen to Anthropic, it most definitely can happen to you, and it likely will. In a refreshingly candid postmorten , Anthropic walked through what went wrong. On March …

Large language models (LLMs) are the workhorses of AI, supporting ever more sophisticated capabilities and workflows, and approaching near-human level performance. But sometimes more isn’t always better — it’s just more. Specialized data and limited capabilities are just fine for some workflows. This realization is driving the evolution of small language models (SLMs), rather than one-size-fits-a…

At Kubecon Europe recently, Linux kernel maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman said something that surprised me. After more than a year of AI-based pull requests and security reports that were worthless, living up to their nickname of “slop,” suddenly in the last month or so Kroah-Hartman discovered that those reports had become useful. At the time he didn’t know why, but guessed it was the result of imp…

Artificial intelligence has had an immediate and profound impact on software development. Coding practices, coding tools, developer roles, and the software development process itself are all being reimagined as AI agents advance on every stage of the software development life cycle, from planning and design to testing, deployment, and maintenance. Download the May 2026 issue of the Enterprise Spo…

Let’s be honest about what’s happening in the market: Public cloud has become the easy button for AI. It offers immediate access to compute, storage, managed services, foundation model ecosystems, automation tools, and global reach. For enterprises that want to launch quickly, it is hard to argue against it. You do not need to spend years standing up infrastructure, hiring specialized operations …

Cloudflare is giving AI agents full autonomy to spin up new apps. Starting today, agents working on behalf of humans can create a Cloudflare account, begin a paid subscription, register a domain, and then receive an API token to let them immediately deploy code. To kick things off, human users must first accept the cloud company’s terms of service. From there, though, their role in the loop is op…

A supply chain attack on SAP-related npm packages has put fresh scrutiny on the developer tools and build workflows that enterprises rely on to produce software. The campaign, referred to as “mini Shai-Hulud,” affected packages used in SAP’s JavaScript and cloud application development ecosystem. The malicious versions added installation-time code that could steal developer credentials, GitHub an…

In The Sorcerer’s Apprentice , Mickey Mouse uses a magic spell to do his chores. The spell animates a broom that is tasked with carrying water from the well. While the animated broom is managed, it gets the job done; when Mickey falls asleep, the broom carries on its work. When Mickey can’t stop the broom, he chops it to bits with an axe, but all the pieces re-animate and carry on as before. Fina…

A critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in GitHub could potentially allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise Server. Uncovered by Wiz researchers, the now-patched bug exploited how GitHub handles server-side “git push” operations. By crafting malicious input within a standard Git push , an authenticated user could execute arbitrary commands via Gi…

Oracle NetSuite is adding AI capabilities to SuiteCloud to help developers customize its ERP platform faster using natural language prompts. In a statement, the company said its NetSuite SuiteCloud Agent Skills “will make it easier for developers to create customized vertical and industry-specific applications by giving AI coding assistants a better understanding of the conventions, patterns, and…

If Python developers have one consistent gripe about their beloved language, it tends to be this: Why is it so hard to take a Python program and deploy it as a standalone artifact, the way C , C++ , Rust , Go , and even Java can be deployed? Are we stuck with requiring everyone to install the Python runtime first before they can use a Python program? And why are all the workarounds for this probl…

Microsoft Word was once the most commonly used software in the world. A .doc file was the lingua franca of the computing world, and “send me a Word doc” became part of the business lexicon. Word won the battle against WordPerfect, which was never quite able to make the transition to the world of Windows. That battle with WordPerfect might have been a pyrrhic victory, however, as Word ended up som…

The threat actor seeding the Open VSX code marketplace with fraudulent extensions that download the GlassWorm malware has uploaded 73 more impersonated links, as its attempt to infect software supply chains continues. Philipp Burckhardt , head of threat intelligence at Socket, which revealed the latest activity , called it a “significant escalation” in the gang’s activity, after it added 72 malic…

GitHub is moving its Copilot coding assistant to a usage-based billing model, replacing fixed subscription pricing with consumption-based charges as demand for AI-driven development workloads increases. The change, announced in a company blog, will take effect on June 1 and will apply to Copilot Pro, Pro+, Business, and Enterprise plans. Under the new model, usage will be measured through “AI cre…
