Google has added two new service tiers to the Gemini API that enable enterprise developers to control the cost and reliability of AI inference depending on how time-sensitive a given workload is. While the cost of training large language models for artificial intelligence has been a concern in the past, the focus of attention is increasingly moving to inferencing , or the cost of using those mode…

Let’s begin with the core question: Is OpenClaw a cloud entity or not? The best answer is a complicated “not exactly, but functionally, yes.” OpenClaw AI Agent Platform is better viewed as an orchestration layer, runtime, or plumbing rather than a complete cloud platform. It provides the tools to build and manage agents but lacks the intelligence, data estate, control plane, or business context t…

If JavaScript were a character in a role-playing game, its class would be a Rogue. When it was a youngster, it was a street kid that lived on the margins of society. Over time, it has become an established figure in the enterprise hierarchy. But it never forgot where it came from, and you never know what sleight of hand it will perform next. For example, fine-grained Signals are mounting a rebell…

Anthropic likes to talk about safety. It even risked the ire of the US Department of Defense (also known as the Department of War) over it. But two unrelated leaks in the space of a week have put the company in an unfamiliar spotlight: not highlighting model performance or safety claims, but for its apparent difficulty in keeping sensitive parts of its AI tooling and strategy out of public view. …

Kilo has launched KiloClaw for Organizations, a managed version of its OpenClaw platform aimed at enterprises seeking more control over how employees deploy AI agents for tasks such as repository monitoring, email drafting, and calendar management. Co-founded by GitLab co-founder Sid Sijbrandij and Scott Breitenother, Kilo is building open-source coding and AI agent tools and is gaining attention…

Artificial intelligence and related technologies are evolving rapidly, but until recently, Java developers had few options for integrating AI capabilities directly into Spring-based applications . Spring AI changes that by leveraging familiar Spring conventions such as dependency injection and the configuration-first philosophy in a modern AI development framework. My last tutorial demonstrated h…

Computer vision teams face an uncomfortable reality. Even as annotation costs continue to rise, research consistently shows that teams annotate far more data than they actually need. Sometimes teams annotate the wrong data entirely, contributing little to model improvements. In fact, by some estimates, 95% of data annotations go to waste . The problem extends beyond cost. As I explored in my prev…

The voice AI agents market is projected to grow from $2.4 billion in 2024 to $47.5 billion by 2034, a 34.8% compound annual growth rate. Yet only 1% of enterprises consider their AI deployments “mature” and fewer than 10% of AI use cases make it past pilot stage . The models work but the gap is in how these systems are designed for real human interaction in enterprise collaboration, where voice c…

Developers can spend days using fuzzing tools to find security weaknesses in code. Alternatively, they can simply ask an LLM to do the job for them in seconds. The catch: LLMs are evolving so rapidly that this convenience might come with hidden dangers. The latest example is from researcher Hung Nguyen from AI red teaming company Calif, who, with simple prompts to Anthropic’s Claude Code, was abl…

Meta researchers have developed a structured prompting technique that enables LLMs to verify code patches without executing them, achieving up to 93% accuracy in tests. The method, dubbed semi-formal reasoning, could help reduce reliance on the resource-heavy sandbox environments currently required for automated code validation. The development comes as organizations look to deploy agentic AI for…

WebAssembly , or Wasm, provides a standard way to deliver compact, binary-format applications that can run in the browser. Wasm is also designed to run at or near machine-native speeds. Developers can write code in one of the various languages that compile to Wasm as a target (e.g., Rust ), and deliver that program anywhere Wasm runs. But Wasm by itself isn’t enough. An application, especially on…

Everyone is worried about junior developers. What are all these fresh-faced computer science graduates going to do now that AI is writing all the code? It is a legitimate concern. It wasn’t that long ago that the best advice I could give an early-career person interested in software development was to go to a boot camp. Sure, they could go to college and get a four-year computer science degree, b…

In a quiet corner of GitHub better known for weekend experiments than paradigm shifts, Drona Reddy , a data analyst at Amazon US, has published a single markdown file that promises to cut Claude’s output token usage by more than half, not by changing code, but by reshaping the model’s behavior. The file, called Claude.md and available under an MIT license , outlines a set of structured instructio…

IT leaders are setting their operations strategies for 2026 with an eye toward agility, flexibility, and tangible business results. Download the January 2026 issue of the Enterprise Spotlight from the editors of CIO, Computerworld, CSO, InfoWorld, and Network World and learn about the trends and technologies that will drive the IT agenda in the year ahead.

An Anthropic employee accidentally exposed the entire proprietary source code for its AI programming tool, Claude Code, by including a source map file in a version of the tool posted on Anthropic’s open npm registry account, a risky mistake, says an AI expert. “A compromised source map is a security risk,” said US-based cybersecurity and AI expert Joseph Steinberg . “A hacker can use a source map…
