On June 5, 404 Media reported that attackers had been using Meta’s AI customer support agent to steal Instagram accounts. Their approach was simple: They asked the agent to link the accounts to email addresses that they controlled, and the agent complied. One attacker broke into the dormant Obama White House account and made pro-Iran…

We talk with the VendingBench authors on evaling Claudes from Haiku to Mythos, and how they build leading, and lasting, frontier evals from scratch.
A perspective in Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence titled Evidence-based AI: from trailblazer to trustblazer? introduces a formal discipline called Evidence-based AI that applies the rigorous standards of medicine and toxicology to agentic software systems. The paper was led by Insilica founder and CEO Dr. Thomas Luechtefeld in collaboration with Dr. Thomas Hartung of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Poke, the startup that lets people use AI agents through simple text messages, has become the first AI agent approved for Apple’s Messages for Business platform.
Deploy NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra on Amazon SageMaker JumpStart. Get 5x faster inference and 30% lower cost for agentic AI workloads with this frontier reasoning model.
Creators often have to parse through charts and dashboards to understand their performance, but with the new AI assistant, they can get quick answers to questions like "When should I post?" and "What are people saying in my comments?"
The California startup released the fourth-generation of its home assistance robot, Stretch.
In 2026, the hype for artificial intelligence agents is louder than ever before. These semi-autonomous programs can think and execute well-defined tasks in areas like customer service and software development, typically using language models (LMs). But fields like medical diagnosis and scientific discovery require them to inquire about a vast range of solutions in uncertain environments which LMs struggle with.
NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra is an open frontier-reasoning and orchestration model from NVIDIA, with 55B active parameters out of 550B total (MoE). Built on a hybrid Transformer-Mamba mixture-of-experts architecture, it...

In this post, we introduce Amazon Bedrock Ops Alert, a three-layer automated monitoring solution that proactively detects operational issues, dynamically adjusts alarm thresholds, classifies alarms by category, automatically creates context-aware support cases, helps prevent duplicate cases when an unresolved case of the same alarm category is already active, and delivers contextualized notifications to AI SRE teams. We walk through the solution architecture and how you can deploy it in your own environment.
If the future of warehouse work belongs to humans and robots working side by side, a key question remains: What is the most effective way for them to collaborate?
In this post, you learn how to use Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) and Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) together to improve the tool-calling accuracy of a small language model (SLM). The example uses Amazon SageMaker AI training jobs, so you can focus on training code instead of managing your own training infrastructure. You also learn how to evaluate tool-calling accuracy and compare a base model to several fine-tuned variants, so you can make data-driven decisions about model quality.
WhatsApp will charge businesses for using its AI agent based on token usage
The Series F round values Coralogix at $1.6 billion and comes less than a year after its previous raise.
Microsoft Build recap, and new MAI model technical details
Launched at Build, Microsoft Scout is a new AI assistant meant to bring the power and flexibility of OpenClaw into the Microsoft 365 system.
The specification lets developer, compliance and security teams define their own policies for agents to follow in portable policy files.
