5 Counter-Intuitive Lessons from Building Action Gates for Autonomous AI Agents
The 272K Footgun: How GPT-6 Astra's Context Surcharge Silently Doubles Your Bill
OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra has a 272,000 token input limit, with requests exceeding this threshold billed at 2x input and 1.5x output rates. This can result in significant cost increases, with a 5,000 token overrun costing around $3.Read All
EmbeddingGemma 2: an open, lightweight multimodal embedding model
Introducing EmbeddingGemma 2, an open multimodal embedding model optimized for privacy-first use cases
Introducing Kilo Desktop: Where the AI Dev Factory Begins
Agentic coding tools made writing code fast, but they confined the job to code on one vendor's models. Kilo Desktop, out today, puts the whole job in one app: 500+ frontier, open-weight, and local models with cost-based routing; agents that plan before they build; notebooks the agent edits live; conda environments drawn from 19,000+ vetted packages; and admin controls over which models, agents, and MCP servers anyone can use.
Which Startup Is the Real Ghost? Ghost.ai vs. Ghost.org vs. DrinkGhost.com vs. Patrick Swayze
Ghost.ai raised an $11M a16z seed for a $3,499 personal AI computer, and walked into a crowded house. Ghost.org, GHOST Energy, Broadcom's ghost.com and the 1990 film all compete for the same word. Google and Bing favor the drink and the movie, Google AI Mode picks ghost.org, and ChatGPT picks ghost.ai. Our bet: ghost.ai wins tech, if Core sells.Read All
All the numbers: Amazon Prime Day 2026 powered by AWS
Amazon Prime Day 2026 was exclusively for Prime members and ran June 23–26, 2026 with millions of deals across more than 35 categories. As part of our annual tradition of sharing how AWS powered Prime Day (2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025), I want to share the services and chart-topping metrics
The Coordination Tax: Why AI Is Burning Out Your Best People | Dan O'Connell, Front
Everyone assumes AI in customer operations means fewer people and lower costs. The data from 700 customer operations leaders is more complicated, and more honest. Dan O’Connell, CEO of Front, joins Craig Smith with findings from a survey of customer support, service, and account management leaders that reveal what’s actually happening as enterprises deploy AI at scale, and the central finding is a problem nobody has named yet.

From invisible to recomended: How tech startups can win AI search
AI search is changing how buyers discover technology companies, with more queries resolving through AI answers and zero-click results. This guide presents a five-step GEO strategy for getting into those recommendations: define the category you want to own, map target prompts and citation sources, build a consistent narrative, combine earned media with useful on-site content, and track which brands and sources AI systems actually surface. The goal is not simply more content, but a brand that is easy for buyers and AI systems to understand, cite,

How Are You Handling Vibe Coding Security?
Vibe coding may inadvertently ship vulnerabilities into production systems. Common vulnerabilities include hardcoded secrets and API keys, broken authorization, insecure defaults, and more. To address these issues, establish strict guardrails, integrate real-time security scanning, mandate human review for critical paths, and more.Read All
Why Can't AI Tell What's in a Blurry Photo? The Real Way Computer Vision "Sees"
AI fails to recognize blurry images because it relies on mathematical contrast edges between neighboring pixel numbers, which are destroyed by blur, motion, or poor focus. This forces the entire recognition pipeline to crumble, unlike human brains that use context, spatial physics, and prior experience to interpret blurry scenes.Read All
Autumn Check-In: What Happened to Everyone on the AI Whale List
The AI boom has created a new crop of billionaires, with many companies experiencing rapid growth and valuation increases, including Nvidia, Cerebras Systems, Oracle, and OpenAI.

Why I Don't Use AI to Remove PII Before Sending Data to AI
The author of the article is uncomfortable with AI-based redaction because the redaction model still needs to see the original data, which can compromise privacy. They propose a deterministic approach to PII detection and redaction, using validation and checksums to identify and remove sensitive information.Read All

Why Your AI Agent’s Passing Tests Might Be Lying to You: 5 Hard Lessons from Landmark Machine Proofs
Who Wins The AI Assistant Wars? + Why Didn’t Google Build Muse?
M.G. Siegler is the author of Spyglass. Siegler joins Big Technology to discuss the escalating battle to build the dominant personal AI assistant. Tune in to hear why he thinks Meta’s Muse is surprisingly strong and what will ultimately determine who wins. We also cover Apple’s dark-horse position, Anthropic’s absence from the consumer assistant race, Google’s repeated product missteps, and how AI agents could reshape subscriptions, banking, shopping, and everyday computing.
Pete Hodgson uses AI governance to empower innovation?
In this episode, Pete Hodgson discusses the evolving landscape of AI-assisted engineering, the importance of governance in AI workflows, and how organizations can empower grassroots innovation while maintaining control.

How a Logistics Giant Keeps AI Data Locked Down
Picture a startup with ten engineers hammering away on AI and one person lying awake over a $20,000 bill that hasn’t arrived yet. That’s the scenario we put to Jason Ward, who handles FinOps for AI at C.H. Robinson and recently joined the FinOps Foundation’s AI working group.Jason’s first answer is not glamorous: tag every AI resource so you know who owns it. The rest of the episode is what that makes possible. He walks through how C.H.
