Security company CrowdStrike has identified five new prompt injection techniques that could leave enterprises at risk. Prompt injections attacks exploit the growing use of AI within organizations . They work by tricking LLMs into accepting instructions that a human operator would recognize as dubious . The five new types of attack that CrowdStrike has added to its prompt injection taxonomy are: T…

French AI company Mistral claims its latest AI model offers a more efficient way to train and operate robots. The model, Robostral Navigate, can guide a robot through plain language instructions, using a single RGB camera to find its way. Mistral said that this was a radical departure from most other models, which rely on depth sensors, LiDAR or several cameras working together. Robostral Navigat…

Meta has unveiled Muse Spark 1.1, saying the frontier AI model rivals leading LLMs on coding, computer use, and agentic AI benchmarks while undercutting OpenAI and Anthropic on API pricing, potentially lowering the cost of deploying AI agents in enterprises. The latest model, which was teased last week, matched or was competitive with leading models, such as Claude Opus 4.8, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and G…

OpenAI is sharpening its enterprise AI strategy with the launch of ChatGPT Work, a new agentic platform designed to automate workplace tasks, alongside the broader rollout of its GPT-5.6 models, which the company says deliver stronger performance at lower operating costs. According to the company, ChatGPT Work can operate across applications and files, execute long-running tasks, coordinate multi…

Every few years, some new technology comes along that promises to revolutionize how we do business, and enterprises pile in headfirst without asking how much it’s going to cost. I’ve been watching this movie for 30 years. Cloud computing was the first act. Now it’s generative AI , and the bill is arriving faster than anyone expected. The latest data shows that many enterprises are seeing their AI…

Site reliability engineering is entering a new phase. As incidents become faster-moving, more data-rich and more complex, SRE teams are exploring agentic AI to help with alert triage, root cause analysis, runbook execution and mitigation planning. But in production, the question is not whether an agent can act; it is whether people can trust it to act safely, consistently and transparently when t…

Faster Python has stopped becoming a pipe dream, and is now a major topic for its development. Sometimes that comes by way of new syntax (lazy imports), sometimes by JIT compilation, and sometimes by generating C code from Python. Sometimes, it’s also by way of a whole new programming language (Mojo) that’s intended to be a powerful Python companion. Top picks for Python readers on InfoWorld Spee…

Enterprises are using AI to write more code than ever before; anywhere between 25% and 75% , depending on who you ask. This means developers are moving to other parts of the process, where they run into whole new sets of problems. IBM rolled out its IBM Bob agentic software development platform earlier this year to help developers across the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC), rather th…

A security hole within AI dev tools has allowed attackers to escape sandboxes by misleading the humans in the loop who were supposed to knowingly approve the tool’s actions, according to cybersecurity research firm Wiz. “We discovered GhostApproval, a systematic vulnerability pattern affecting six of the top AI coding assistants: Amazon Q Developer, Anthropic Claude Code, Augment, Cursor, Google …

AI promised to make software development faster, but for many enterprises, it has also created a new management challenge: developers increasingly rely on a mix of coding assistants, AI agents, and models that operate in isolation, making it harder for engineering leaders to govern usage, share knowledge, and control costs. JetBrains has sought to address these challenges with a new suite of tool…

SpaceXAI has launched Grok 4.5, pitching the model to developers and enterprises trying to control the rising cost of AI-assisted software development. In a statement , the company said the model is priced at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens. It said the model is built for coding and agentic work, runs at 80 tokens per second, and uses fewer tokens than comparable mode…

Building an agent in an afternoon is now within reach of almost anyone in the enterprise with a credit card. The tools are accessible, the deployments are easy. The hard part is delivering the intended results. Gartner predicts that more than 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by 2027, and the EU AI Act Article 14 requirements for human oversight for high-risk AI systems take effect on A…

The first time I used Kubernetes in an enterprise setting, I understood the hype. It gives every team the same way to package, deploy and run their apps. No more custom scripts or unique deployment hacks, just one control plane to rule them all. And really, that’s why it’s so popular with big companies: Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling and management of conta…

It has been a year or so since Microsoft announced its plans to move TypeScript to a new, native runtime based on the Go language . Those first releases were unfinished (you had to compile them yourself) but showed promise, getting close to the expected 10x speed-up. That year has been one of steady progress, with Microsoft recently announcing the delivery of a release candidate build . This rele…

GitHub continues to be a scintillating target for attackers because it sits in the middle of the software supply chain and gives threat actors three things they crave: source code, secrets, and automated pipelines to run amok in. Datadog Security Research has been tracking what it calls a “sustained pattern” of GitHub API abuse over the past several months that seeks to map organizations and thei…
