Kore.ai launches Artemis AI agent platform, expands challenge to Microsoft and Salesforce
Kore.ai on Wednesday launched what amounts to a ground-up reinvention of its core technology: the Artemis edition of its Agent Platform, a system designed to let enterprises build, govern, and optimize AI agents using AI itself — compressing what has traditionally been months of engineering work into days. The platform arrives at a moment when every major technology vendor — from Microsoft and Salesforce to Google and ServiceNow — is racing to become the default infrastructure for enterprise AI agents. Kore.ai's answer to that crowded field is a bet on neutrality, a proprietary intermediary language for defining agents, and a philosophy that AI, not human developers, should do most of the heavy lifting. "We're trying to change the paradigm about how people design, build, deploy and optimize agentic AI applications," Raj Koneru, the company's founder and CEO, told VentureBeat in an exclusive interview ahead of the launch. "The whole theme that we are now coming out with is you do AI wit

China's Manus founders seek $1 billion to undo Meta takeover, Bloomberg News reports
Manus co-founders are weighing ways to comply with China's order to unwind Meta's $2 billion-plus acquisition of the AI startup, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday. Founders Xiao Hong, Ji Yichao and Zhang Tao are exploring options, including raising about $1 billion from external investors to buy their way back, the report said citing people familiar with the matter. They are discussing a funding round that would value the company at a level to match what Meta paid to buy Singapore-based Manus, the report added.

The biggest data center ever is becoming a huge problem in Utah
Utah may host one of the world's most colossal data centers, despite stark warnings from experts and fierce public backlash. Earlier this month, commissioners in Box Elder County signed off on the Stratos Project: a 40,000-acre data center stretching across the county's Hansel Valley. It's supposed to establish American AI dominance, but potentially at the expense of environmental damage and a strain on already overtaxed water supplies. The Stratos Project, backed by Shark Tank investor and venture capitalist Kevin O'Leary, is projected to be more than twice the size of Manhattan and consume 9GW of power - almost double the state's peak ele … Read the full story at The Verge.

What breaks first when AI agents start handling real operations?
Most AI discussions still focus on what agents can do. I think the more interesting question is what starts breaking once they operate across real enterprise workflows at scale. Not just generating outputs, but interacting with approvals, vendors, payments, reporting, compliance, and multiple internal systems simultaneously. Infrastructure like W3 already operates around that coordination layer, which makes me think the operational side of AI may become much harder than the intelligence side itself. Curious what people here think becomes the biggest bottleneck first. submitted by /u/tsurutatdk [link] [comments]
Google is officially replacing Vertex AI with the new "Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform"

Cohere cracks lossless quantization and native citations with first full Apache 2.0 licensed open model Command A+
Canadian AI lab Cohere made waves recently by announcing a merger with German AI startup Aleph Alpha, but now it has even more in store for enterprise builders around the globe: today, the firm co-founded by former Googler and "Attention Is All You Need" co-author Aidan Gomez unveiled Command A+, a highly optimized, 218-billion-parameter language model engineered specifically for complex reasoning, multimodal document processing, and agentic workflows. The most significant aspect of the release is not just the model’s capabilities; it is its accessibility. By releasing the model weights free on the popular AI code sharing repository Hugging Face under a highly permissive Apache 2.0 open-source license — a first for the company, according to a post by Gomez, now Cohere's CEO, on X — Cohere is making a calculated bet on "sovereign AI"—the thesis that enterprises, governments, and developers should have the ability to run, control, and adapt frontier-grade AI entirely within their own se
OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy announces he's joining Anthropic
Andrej Karpathy, the influential 39-year-old Slovak-Canadian AI researcher and one of the original 11 co-founders of OpenAI, and former head of Tesla's AI division, announced on Tuesday, May 19 that he's joining rival lab Anthropic. As Karpathy posted from his account on the social network X: "Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time." Anthropic's current Head of Pretraining, Nicholas Joseph, also a former OpenAI alumnus, added more context to Karpathy's new role at Anthropic in a post of his own on X, writing: "Excited to welcome Andrej to the Pretraining team! He'll be building a team focused on using Claude to accelerate pretraining research itself. I can’t think of anyone better suited to do it — looking forward to what we build together!"

Stop prompt injection from hijacking your agent, new security capabilities now released within Agent Framework
Prompt injection is the #1 risk on the OWASP LLM Top 10, and most agents in production today defend against it with one of two heuristics: a defensive system prompt, or a hand-rolled allowlist. Neither is deterministic. Both fail silently the day someone slips a [SYSTEM OVERRIDE] line into an issue body, an email, or […] The post Stop prompt injection from hijacking your agent, new security capabilities now released within Agent Framework appeared first on Microsoft Agent Framework.
Google’s new AI agent can draft your emails, monitor your inbox and eventually spend your money
Google on Tuesday unveiled Gemini Spark, a personal AI agent designed to work around the clock — drafting emails, assembling documents, monitoring inboxes, and eventually making purchases — even when a user's laptop is closed and their phone is locked. The announcement, made at Google I/O 2026, is the company's most ambitious attempt yet to transform its AI assistant from a tool that answers questions into one that autonomously completes tasks. It also arrives at a moment of extraordinary competition, as Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Apple all race to build AI systems that don't merely converse but act — completing multi-step workflows with decreasing human supervision. "We are in that part of the cycle where people want to see real value in the products they use on a day-to-day basis," Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, said during a press briefing ahead of the keynote address. With Spark, he argued, that value comes from an agent that never stops working. It operates arou

Corti's new Symphony for Speech-to-Text model beats OpenAI at medical terminology accuracy, highlighting the value of specialized AI
Today, Copenhagen-based healthcare AI Corti is launching Symphony for Speech-to-Text, a new generation of clinical-grade speech recognition models engineered specifically for real-time dictation, conversational transcription, and batch audio processing — and their accuracy rate is the highest for this specific use case yet recorded. "We are focused on ensuring our AI scribes can be trusted by physicians, medical practitioners and patients...the entire healthcare system," said Andreas Cleve, co-founder and CEO of Corti, in an exclusive video call interview with VentureBeat. The performance data the company is bringing to the table paints a stark picture of the current state of enterprise AI: when it comes to highly regulated, specialized industries, domain-specific models can beat out the foundation model providers. In a newly published research paper, Corti revealed that its new clinical-grade speech models reduced word error rates (WER) by up to 93% when compared against leading gen
