PuppyGraph on Tuesday said it was adding an AI-assisted graph schema builder and MCP integrations to PuppyGraph 1.0, the new version of its distributed graph query engine for enterprise data. The update is designed to help developers reduce the complexity, latency, and costs associated with letting AI agents query interconnected data across thousands of database tables and multiple platforms. The…

Microsoft researchers have uncovered a memory-safety bug in Rust’s standard library that had gone undetected for nearly 11 years, alongside other flaws that can trigger undefined behavior even in applications written entirely in safe Rust. Two of the findings affect stable Rust, including a separate issue that could cause applications to access freed memory. The nearly 11-year-old bug involves Ru…

Anthropic has introduced Claude Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2, claiming significant improvements in handling complex software engineering tasks while cutting API prices by 20% compared with the previous versions. Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2 share the same underlying model but have different safeguards. Fable is broadly available, while direct access to Mythos is restricted to vetted cybersecurity and lif…

Running a gold mine can be profitable. Finding and digging the next one is expensive. As analyst Benedict Evans argues , Anthropic’s business has the same challenge, with more than 80% of its third-quarter revenue coming from models released in the preceding six months. A lab can make good money serving its best model while spending heavily on the one it will need next, but it could make amazing …

I read the recent piece about AWS cloud capacity being “largely sold out” through 2027 , and my first reaction was fairly simple: Well, that’s that. I guess I’ll stop recommending Amazon Web Services to any client looking to host AI workloads. Clearly, the cloud is full. Please take a number. Your GPU will be available sometime after the next presidential election, assuming the data center hamste…

Agentic AI has become a powerful enterprise business tool with increasing capabilities, and it has never been easier to address business pain points by applying a large language model (LLM) to develop a plausible automated solution. But is that solution as reliable as you need it to be, especially when the insights gleaned are used to inform critical business decisions? LLMs are incredible resour…

My most-cited BYTE cover story was 1994’s Componentware , which made the case for a two-tier architecture best exemplified then by Visual Basic and its component ecosystem. The prevailing strategy for software reuse, object-oriented programming , hadn’t gained the traction we all expected. Visual Basic showed us why it hadn’t. Objects were written in the same languages, and by the same specialize…

The UK’s digital watchdogs have warned enterprises that they can’t evade their legal responsibilities by blaming errors on AI agents that they have deployed. “By taking action on behalf of users, such as making purchases and communicating with businesses, these agents could transform how people use digital services, engage with markets and unlock wider innovation,” said the Digital Regulation Coo…

OpenAI is buying Pierre Computer Company in order to incorporate the San Francisco-based software developer’s Code.Storage infrastructure layer for Git into its Codex AI-powered programming tool. Pierre Computer, whose employees number just barely in the double digits, has got plenty of clout for its small size. It’s well-known for Code.Storage offering, as well as for its open-source software li…

A memory-safety flaw in CPython can allow malicious AI model templates to escape code sandboxes and execute arbitrary code inside inference servers, according to security researchers at RunSybil. “By exploiting this vulnerability, attackers could gain a foothold inside servers responsible for processing millions of user requests,” Darius Houle, a security researcher at RunSybil, wrote in a blog p…

Most enterprise AI conversations still start in the wrong place. They begin with models, platforms, and cloud services. Which foundation model is best? Which provider has the most GPUs ? Which tool can build the flashiest demo? Those questions matter, but they are not where production AI usually succeeds or fails. The better question is: Where should the inference actually happen? That sounds sim…

A major experimental component of Python, its native JIT (just-in-time) compiler , is to be removed. But that won’t make Python any less attractive or powerful. Follow the links below to read about all its new features, explore one of its major libraries for computer vision, discover how Python apps can be made into click-and-run executables, and more. Top picks for Python readers on InfoWorld Py…

AWS on Thursday launched Kiro bots, generally available within Kiro Crew, its open-source multi-agent development environment, to help developers coordinate parallel coding tasks, maintain context across sessions, and automate recurring software development workflows. Kiro bots are designed to take responsibility for specific parts of a developer’s workflow rather than execute isolated tasks with…

Meta has acquired AI coding startup Conductor, gaining technology that coordinates work across competing AI coding agents as it seeks a bigger role in software development tools. Conductor announced the move on Wednesday, saying it would wind down its existing product while developing a new interface that it plans to introduce in early 2027. The company did not disclose financial terms or provide…

Enterprise AI has produced a lot of noise about models, GPUs, vector databases, and agent frameworks. Those conversations matter. But the shift that will decide whether enterprise AI works is happening underneath the models. For decades, metadata meant documentation. Teams built catalogs so people could find data sets, governance programs recorded definitions and ownership, and lineage helped rec…
