The Apache Fory community has announced the release of Fory 1.7.0, an update of the multi-language serialization framework that adds Fory JSON support for Scala 2.13 and Scala 3 and for Kotlin on Android, the JVM, and GraalVM Native Image. Apache Fory is described as a “blazingly fast” serialization framework for idiomatic domain objects, schema IDL (interface definition language), and cross-lang…

OpenClaw has released what it describes as the largest update in its history, introducing a system-wide overhaul spanning runtime behavior, plugins, and security controls, as enterprises increasingly evaluate how such agent-based systems operate across connected environments. “This update touches every part of OpenClaw, including installation, messaging, memory, skills, models, automations, the b…

I saw Spider-Man: Brand New Day last week. I struggled to enjoy it. I guess I hit CGI overload, although its 89% score on Rotten Tomatoes suggests others have a higher tolerance. Ditto LinkedIn. I visit the site at least once a day, hoping to catch up on smart things friends and colleagues are saying, but I can’t hear them over the whir of their robots typing. I’m not against artificial intellige…

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is an AWS technology that deserves a closer look because it is not simply another migration automation tool. It is an agentic AI platform for building, deploying, managing, and governing AI agents that can take action across tools, data sources, development workflows, and operational systems. In the migration context, that means using specialized agents to handle work suc…

I’ve stopped being surprised by the service account nobody can explain. It was created for a migration that finished years ago. It still holds credentials. Whoever requested it left before anyone wrote down why. And it passes every access review, because the review asks whether the account is valid. It is. That’s what I keep thinking about now that agent identity standards are arriving in product…

Moburst , a digital growth agency, is positioning its Answer Engine Optimization practice specifically at enterprise and Fortune 500 brands, arguing that the governance and measurement demands of AEO at that scale look meaningfully different from the version most agencies pitch to smaller clients. Enterprise framing: scale, compliance, and multiple brands A large organization rarely has a single …

JetBrains has released Compose Multiplatform 1.12.0, an update to the declarative framework for sharing Kotlin UI code across platforms. Highlights of the new release include a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI agents in Compose Hot Reload, automatic font fallback for the web applications, and a new version of the window and dialog API for desktop apps. Compose Multiplatform 1.12.0 was u…

For enterprises deploying AI agents, security and trust are top-of-mind issues. When given the authority to act autonomously, they can inadvertently leak or expose data, rack up huge token costs, or produce inaccurate or patently false outputs. These risks, says VMware, require a new type of platform that imposes strict controls over what agents can do, while giving them access to the contextuall…

Neoclouds have staked their claim to AI compute infrastructure with low-cost GPU-based alternatives and purpose-built features for AI training and inference . But can this new class of alternative clouds actually take business from the hyperscalers? Some argue that neoclouds are poised to capture a growing share of AI-native workloads. Neocloud revenue exceeded $25 billion in 2025, reports Synerg…

OpenAI will stop AI coding platform Cursor from accessing its models from November 12, following the acquisition of Cursor parent Anysphere by Elon Musk ‘s SpaceX. “Today, we notified SpaceX that we intend to wind down our contract providing OpenAI models to Cursor , with a proposed shutoff date of November 12, 2026,” the company wrote in a blog post . That shutoff, the company added, was based o…

Governance determines whether a generative AI program remains a set of pilots or becomes a durable capability. I treat governance as engineering work. The goal stays simple. The system should behave within policy, every day, under change. I define governance by design as the practice of encoding policy into build and runtime controls that enforce access, constrain actions, capture evidence, and m…

LM Studio makes it easy to run LLMs on one’s own hardware, whether as a desktop app or a server for others in one’s organization. But LM Studio isn’t the only project of its kind. Unsloth , a team of two brothers (Daniel and Michael Han), have created their own local-first application for running and training models on local hardware, called Unsloth Desktop . Unsloth Desktop, an open-source Apach…

The Rust team has released Rust 1.98.0, an update to the language that introduces algebraic methods for floating-point operations. Developers who have a previous version of Rust installed via rustup can update to Rust 1.98.0 by running rustup update stable . Introduced August 20 , Rust 1.98.0 brings algebraic methods for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and remainder to the floati…

Over the past three years, as an independent cloud and AI consultant, advisor, and industry influencer, I have worked with numerous companies seeking my expertise. I have helped evaluate, optimize, coach, and support their generative and agentic AI initiatives. These engagements were not merely theoretical discussions or vendor-led proofs of concept. They involved real-world enterprise activities…

Microsoft’s latest update to Visual Studio Code , released August 26 , features a Rubber Duck agent for a second model opinion as well as UX improvements to the Agents window. VS Code also now can show recent Copilot or Claude agent sessions created in other applications and allow users to continue them. Downloads of Visual Studio Code are available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. VS Code 1.135 feat…
