Gambit Security’s new report, AI Across the Intrusion Lifecycle offers a detailed look at how artificial intelligence is moving beyond a supporting role in cybercrime and becoming integrated into the day-to-day mechanics of real intrusions. Written by Director of Threat Intelligence Eyal Sela and Cyber Threat Researcher Nir Varon, the report examines three unrelated threat…
New research from China offers a non-invasive way to protect copyrighted animation characters, by ‘injecting’ generic substitutes at inference time. But can this method defeat the ingenuity of prompt-hackers? Given the extent of copyrighted material present in hyperscale datasets (because of the sheer cost of weeding such infractions out), models trained on them tend to…
A series of high-profile incidents involving frontier AI providers has left businesses asking a question that, until recently, many hadn’t seriously considered. What happens when the technology you’ve built your operations around is no longer entirely under your control? First came Anthropic’s shutdown, ordered by the US Government with just 90 minutes’ notice. Then came…
Imagine a common scenario in financial services. A team deploys AI to review contracts: hundreds of pages, repetitive clauses, and routine work that normally takes employees days. The model identifies the risks and references to correct paragraphs. Yet the output doesn’t add up. It turns out the problem is in the contracts folder, where files…
At identical 2-bit precision, one decision about which axis you quantize along swings a benchmark score from 2.88 to 63.53. Keys and values need opposite treatment — and the reason is in the attention equation, not the hardware. Take Llama-2-13B. Group its key-value cache by a quantization group size of 32 into two bits, while…
Every AI product demo I sit through starts the same way: an empty prompt box, a request in plain English, and a working app a few minutes later. It’s a genuinely impressive party trick. It’s also, I’d argue, the least interesting thing happening in enterprise AI right now. The more consequential work is happening somewhere…
EMERGING and Promethean Investments launched The Experience Fund (XPR) on August 14, 2026, a $300 million vehicle with a $500 million hard cap that will invest in artificial intelligence, IP holdings companies, and automation platforms built for hospitality and experiential entertainment. The fund is co-sponsored 50/50 by the two firms and led by EMERGING Managing…
Z.ai released GLM-5.3 on August 14, 2026, an update the company says keeps the same base model as GLM-5.2 and derives every capability gain from scaled-up post-training. The headline results are in coding, where Z.ai reports the model is the strongest open-weights system it has measured, and in cybersecurity, where the company says capability grew…
LG Corp. said on August 13, 2026, that it is developing a next-generation bipedal humanoid robot built on NVIDIA’s Isaac GR00T foundation model, targeting a public unveiling in the first quarter of 2027. The announcement came alongside a memorandum of understanding signed at NVIDIA’s Santa Clara headquarters, with LG Corp. Chairman and CEO Kwang Mo…
Pony.ai and Uber are expanding their strategic partnership to deploy more than 2,000 Pony.ai robotaxis across Europe, the companies announced on August 13, 2026, growing a collaboration that began with a single commercial service in Zagreb into a multi-city deployment commitment spanning more than 2,000 robotaxis. Under the expanded agreement, the partnership moves beyond Zagreb…
