A team of developers working at AWS recently open-sourced Pizza Bot, a self-hosted application designed to let AI agents run tasks in the background and return results through an inbox-style interface. Agents can perform scheduled or webhook-triggered work, delegate tasks to specialized workers, and pause for human approval when needed. By Renato Losio

Archestra released OpenAPPA, an open-source security engine designed to stop data exfiltration caused by prompt injection or model hallucination. The team reports zero successful attacks when running security benchmarks Bench-Corp (20 multi-step enterprise workflows) and AgentThreatBench, versus 10% for Claude Code’s auto mode and 31% for Microsoft FIDES.

The companies featured at the recent Bank of America Private Tech Trailblazers Conference point to where the next wave of AI growth is taking shape: specialized technology built around proprietary data, industry-specific workflows and, increasingly, purpose-built hardware. From restaurants and construction sites to hospitals, cross-border payments and defense, these companies are targeting defined problems where…
1 reporting group · Read the storyAmazon Web Services Inc.’s Strands Labs team has been playing around with an emerging class of lightweight artificial intelligence systems known as “decision models,” and it’s now making the fruits of that work available to the open-source community. The company said today it’s releasing an open-source decision model called Strands Decider 2B, which is designed…
Artificial intelligence factory economics increasingly depend on more than access to high-performance graphics processing units. As agentic systems draw on multiple models, databases and tools, the entire data center must work as one computing system. That transition is shifting attention from individual chips to the infrastructure that turns computing capacity into useful intelligence. Networking, storage,…
Dogwood Local Engine checks AI tool calls against user-defined temporal rules before they run
NetApp used its INSIGHT 2026 conference in Las Vegas to announce NetApp Novus, a disaggregated storage architecture for AI factories that separates metadata from the data path and that the company says is designed to exceed 100 TB/s of aggregate throughput, keep hundreds of thousands of GPUs fed, and grow toward a zettabyte-scale file system.
Between sessions at EUC World Amplify in Milwaukee, we sat down for an extended conversation with an industry veteran whose fingerprints are all over the modern enterprise desktop: Scott Manchester. Many in our community know Manchester from his 25-year run at Microsoft, where he led Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and later Windows 365 Cloud PC.
We checked out the F5 lab getting over 3x the performance from the same GPU cluster using F5 BIG-IP NEXT for Kubernetes
EUC World Amplify 2026 brought the end-user computing community together September 29 through October 1 at the Baird Center in Milwaukee. This is our day-one report; we previewed the show in August and profiled five of its sponsors two weeks ago. Figure 1: Milwaukee, lit up for the week of EUC World Amplify 2026. What
Storage architecture is being rewritten for artificial intelligence factories. Traditional enterprise storage was designed around workloads that scaled in relatively predictable ways. AI changes that equation by combining heavy data movement with transactional metadata activity, often on shared infrastructure. NetApp Inc. is addressing that pressure through its work with Nvidia Corp., a partnership that dates…
AI agent infrastructure is evolving to support systems that move continuously among inference, feedback and training. Cognition AI Inc.’s Devin now assists throughout the software development lifecycle, from planning and writing code to reviewing it and responding to production problems. That expanding role requires AI agent infrastructure capable of supporting continual learning at scale, according…
In its earnings guidance for FY27, Micron stated that it expects physical AI and humanoid robots to become even bigger drivers of memory and storage demand than AI data centers. According to CEO Sanjay Mehrotra, each humanoid robot would need at least around 200GB of DRAM and several terabytes of...
Artificial intelligence has pulled data infrastructure out of the back office and into conversations with buyers who never had to think about storage before. For longtime storage providers, that shift is a rare chance to retell their story to an audience with no preconceptions. NetApp Inc. has spent three years preparing for that moment, reframing…
IBM Corp. today announced a self-hosted deployment option for IBM Bob, its agentic software development platform, allowing enterprises to use artificial intelligence to build and modernize applications within their own infrastructure.. The offering supports on-premises, private-cloud, sovereign-cloud and air-gapped environments. It targets organizations whose sensitive source code, regulated data or critical systems limit their ability…
Falcon 9 rocket launches 130 payloads, including Starfish's flagship spacecraft as well as Cowboy Space's first satellite and a NASA astrophysics probe.
Volantis Inc. today announced that it has raised a $88 million funding round led by prominent angel investor Lachy Groom and Abstract Ventures. The Series A deal also drew more than a half-dozen other participants. The group included Kleiner Perkins Chair John Doerr and Naveen Rao, the former head of Intel’s artificial intelligence products group.
Salesforce Inc. has signed a definitive agreement to acquire artificial intelligence customer research startup Listen Labs Inc., three weeks after reports first surfaced that the two companies were in talks. Business Insider broke the news of the negotiations on Sept. 9 and reported that the price under discussion was about $2 billion. Neither company disclosed…
GPT-6 Astra Ultrafast, running on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, is available now in the OpenAI API and to eligible ChatGPT Work and Codex users. Accelerated by inference optimizations through OpenAI’s models that tap into the capabilities of the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture, Ultrafast offers up to 8x faster token generation than the Astra Standard mode. For developers,…
