   Meta AI agent wins over NYT columnist

   A New York Times columnist gave control of everyday tasks to Meta's AI agent and came away impressed. Meta has a viable consumer AI assistant despite past mixed reception, showing its AI push can deliver real utility.

   Whether Meta can sustain this quality as it scales to hundreds of millions of users, and how rivals respond.

   Palo Alto's Unit 42 rolls out always-on AI defense

   Palo Alto Networks announced Unit 42 Continuous Frontier AI Defense, an annual-subscription service that pairs Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6-Cyber to find and fix enterprise exposures. The service is pitched as a way for defenders to test their environments at machine speed, because threat actors are using AI to shorten breach cycles by almost 97% in some cases, from weeks to hours.

   The efficacy claims rest on six months of in-house testing and more than 100 customer engagements, so the test is whether always-on testing keeps finding exposures as environments change. Watch how subscriptions price across the OpenAI, Anthropic and open-source models chosen.

   ServiceNow raises 2026 subscription revenue midpoint on AI partnerships

   ServiceNow raised its 2026 subscription revenue midpoint, citing strong demand for its workflow platform, AI-focused partnerships, cross-selling success, and an expanded ecosystem. The raise reinforces the near-term catalyst of AI-led platform adoption, though execution risk remains in a crowded, fast-changing AI software market.

   The extended Accenture collaboration puts hundreds of pre-built AI agent skills and governance tools into customers' hands, but the test is whether those agents translate into durable, high-value usage.

   Palo Alto Networks unveils AI cybersecurity service using Claude, GPT

   Palo Alto Networks unveiled an AI-powered cybersecurity service that uses Claude and GPT models. A major security vendor is building its service on third-party AI models rather than only its own technology, which may signal growing reliance on outside AI providers.

   The article gives no pricing, launch date, or availability details, so it remains unclear when customers can actually use the service.

   DEEPX NPU tested in US smart glasses proof of concept

   DEEPX, a South Korean AI semiconductor company, is reportedly conducting a proof of concept with a US smart glasses company to test whether its low-power neural processing unit (NPU) can balance power consumption, thermal performance, and AI computing capability. If the test succeeds, the US smart glasses company would have a low-power option for running AI inside the glasses themselves, which is seen as a path toward doing more on the device rather than in the cloud.

   The outcome hinges on whether the low-power NPU can actually meet the demands of smart glasses in practice, and whether the proof of concept leads to a commercial deal. Watch for any further announcement from DEEPX or the US smart glasses company.
