US officials are pitching a new AI safety notification mechanism with China as a modest step toward reducing global risk, but experts say the effort is being overshadowed by Donald Trump’s broader “win the AI race” posture and by a…

Anthropic has released Claude Opus 5.5, a new model that the company says adds stricter safeguards around cybersecurity and other risky behavior as AI safety concerns intensify across the industry. The launch comes after several recent incidents in which frontier…

Cloudflare has unveiled the Agent Development Lifecycle, or ADLC, as a proposed successor to the traditional Software Development Lifecycle for AI-driven engineering. The company says the familiar SDLC is too linear and human-dependent for systems built around autonomous agents, and…

DoorDash has built a multi-agent LLM system to automate stale feature flag cleanup across its codebase, reporting that the approach can turn a task that often takes engineers one to two hours into a process that averages 13.8 minutes and…

WSO2 has released the general availability version of WSO2 Agent Manager, an open-source platform aimed at helping enterprises rein in the fast-growing sprawl of AI agents. The company says the product centralizes governance, identity management, security controls, and operational oversight…

Anthropic says it has stopped multiple attempts by scientists this year to use Claude in ways that could support bioweapons research, underscoring growing worries that advanced AI systems may be misused in biology as well as cybersecurity. In a report…

Startup Abliteration.ai is turning a once-niche open-source technique into a paid service, offering access to modified AI models with their safety refusals removed. The company is hosting abliterated versions of open-weight systems such as Z.ai’s recently released GLM-5.3, making them…

OpenAI says its next major model, GPT-6 Astra, has “entered the AGI era,” framing the release as a generational leap in capability across cybersecurity, professional work, software engineering, science, and computer use. The model arrives amid intense pressure on OpenAI…

Four federal agencies are facing a lawsuit that could force the Trump administration to disclose the hidden rules it says it uses to test frontier AI models before release. The complaint, filed by the nonprofit Protect Democracy, argues that the…

In a new InfoQ podcast, UX veteran Scott Jenson argues that desktop operating systems have stagnated for decades, cloud-first software has traded convenience for fragility, and the next wave of AI will be more useful when it is embedded in…

What started as a cybersecurity incident involving OpenAI’s autonomous agents and Hugging Face has turned into a sharper argument about language, responsibility, and whether AI systems should be described as machines or “civilizations.” After new reports suggested the July hack…

DoorDash says its Flux platform handled 130,000 engineering tasks in a single month in 2026 after moving agent workloads off developers’ laptops and into cloud-based execution. The company says the shift has made it possible to run background work in…

James Hall used a QCon London 2026 presentation to make a simple case for a bigger shift in AI software: some real workloads no longer need to live in the cloud. In Running AI at the Edge: Running Real Workloads…

At QCon AI, Fabiane Nardon argued that enterprise AI agents fail or succeed less on model choice than on how well the data layer is prepared for them. In her talk, “Architecting the Data Layer for AI Agents: From Transactional…

Microsoft has published an AI governance architecture that shifts the focus from written policy to runtime enforcement, continuous evaluation, observability, and audit evidence as AI applications and agents move into production. The framework is designed to make governance something teams…

Roblox is pushing beyond AI-assisted coding and into what it calls a “Prompt to Prod” model, where agents can help take software changes from a prompt all the way into production. In a presentation at QCon AI, Roblox Sr. Director…

Cloudflare has open-sourced Cloudflare OS, a new corporate AI platform designed to let employees build and customize work tools inside secure, isolated sandboxes. The project combines generative AI, enterprise connectors, and a capability-based security model that Cloudflare says can support…

DeepSeek has released a developer preview of DeepSeek Harness, or dsh, an open-source execution runtime for building autonomous AI agents. The project, published under the MIT license and shared through DeepSeek’s announcement and GitHub repository, is designed around a micro-kernel…

AWS has open-sourced Dogwood, a policy language designed to control sequences of agent tool calls rather than just individual actions. Built to extend Cedar, Dogwood is meant to let organizations express rules that depend on what an agent has already…

Cloudflare has introduced WriteGuard, a private beta feature designed to add fine-grained security controls to MCP servers and make AI agents safer when they are allowed to do more than simply read data. The new layer focuses on write-access operations,…
