Revised transaction structure enables immediate closing, accelerating the Company’s strategic pivot toward AI data centers, enterprise GPU compute, and digital power infrastructure. Envirotech Vehicles , Inc. (NASDAQ: EVTV) (“EVTV” or the “Company”) today announced the successful completion of its merger with Azio AI Corporation (“Azio AI”) on July 2, 2026, paving the way for the Company to trans…

Developers looking to curb the cost of AI-powered coding tools have increasingly turned to the “Caveman” prompting style, which instructs coding assistants to communicate in blunt, telegraphic language and avoid conversational padding. The theory is simple: fewer words mean fewer tokens, translating into lower inference costs for organizations deploying AI agents at scale. A new test from IDE mak…

AI is getting most of the attention in enterprise technology. Governance, ownership, and data quality do most of the heavy lifting behind the scenes. And yet, as organizations move from AI experiments to production deployments, trusted context is becoming a key factor in determining whether agents create business value — or operational risk. That shift is reshaping how Salesforce, Microsoft, Snow…

Data products help standardize how raw data sets, data warehouse views, and data lake logical views are combined and used to deliver analytics and AI capabilities. By developing data products, teams can streamline much of the upfront data pipelines , governance , and management needed to deliver trusted data assets that people, tools, and AI can then use for different purposes. The way you cook a…

When I started evaluating browser agents, most of the conversation around me focused on multimodal models, computer-use systems and screenshot-based automation. Almost every framework I evaluated assumed agents needed to perceive the web the way humans do, visually, pixel by pixel. The more time I spent shipping agents against real web applications, the more I became convinced we were solving the…

The cloud security landscape has changed dramatically in recent years, and 2026 presents a completely different scenario. The integration of advanced AI, autonomous agent systems, and the looming threat of quantum computing all require a new security approach, unlike the strategies that have worked for the past decade. While threats have obviously evolved, you might be surprised by how much defen…

ECMA International has approved ECMAScript 2026, the 17th edition of the specification for the JavaScript programming language. The standards organization approved the specification on June 30 . ECMAScript 2026 adds methods for math, iterators, arrays, maps, encoding, and JSON. The additions include Math.sumPrecise for summing an iterable of numbers of varying magnitude while minimizing precision…

In a test of major LLMs, Zscaler found that some autonomous AI agents fell victim to frauds, reinforcing how easily some high-end enterprise agents can be conned by schemes that would fool few, if any, humans. The security vendor looked at various forms of indirect prompt injection (IPI) traps and found that, whereas many models fell victim to the schemes, some of the lower-level LLMs fared bette…

For the first time ever, the Rust language has cracked the top 10 in Tiobe’s index of programming language popularity. With a 1.34% rating, Rust is ranked 10th in the Tiobe Programming Community index for July 2026 , which was published July 5. “Rust’s growing popularity can largely be attributed to its strong focus on memory safety while still generating extremely fast code,” said Paul Jansen, C…

Application programming interfaces have been successful because they define the limits of permissible exchange, including who may take what action, when, and under what circumstances. Those limitations create a framework for understanding the behavior of distributed systems. And they make it possible to enforce policy at the boundary between interacting systems. What constrains distributed system…

You can be forgiven if you think the most important thing AWS ever sold developers was EC2. It’s not. No, AWS’s big gift to developers was permission to stop fretting about servers. That sounds obvious now, but it was close to magical at the time. Before the cloud, getting infrastructure meant waiting on procurement, hardware, and the somewhat arcane process that stood between a developer and a r…

A measure of daily spending on AI usage has fallen since its peak in May — although interpreting what the decline means is challenging. The Silicon Data LLM Token Expenditure Index (SDLLMTK ) is a daily snapshot of the state of the market. It draws data from a multitude of providers and produces a blended rate, expressed in US dollars per one million tokens. The Index currently stands at 1.62, an…

Meta is set to launch a new Muse Spark model with stronger coding and agentic capabilities, as Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang touted the update as a step toward closing the gap with rival AI platforms and expanding the company’s enterprise AI ambitions. “..Our next Muse Spark update is coming soon. Big improvements in coding and agentic capabilities to be more competitive with other leading model…

In the past year, cloud outages have exposed a hard truth about the modern digital economy: A disruption at one hyperscaler can quickly spread far beyond a single vendor’s platform. Failures in cloud control planes, identity systems , storage layers, and core regions have disrupted business operations, developer workflows, and consumer services worldwide. From Google Cloud’s internetwide disrupti…

Microsoft has unveiled the Microsoft Frontier Company, a new operating business focused on delivering “frontier transformation” through AI for Microsoft’s customers around the world. Microsoft Frontier Company launches with a $2.5 billion investment from Microsoft and 6,000 industry and engineering experts who will be embedded with customers to co-design, co-innovate, deploy, and continuously imp…
