Xiaomi has released and open-sourced MiMo-V2.5 and MiMo-V2.5-Pro under the MIT License, giving developers another potentially lower-cost option for building AI agents that can run longer tasks such as coding and workflow automation. Both models support a 1-million-token context window, the company said. MiMo-V2.5-Pro is designed for complex agent and coding tasks, while MiMo-V2.5 is a native omni…

OpenAI has released Symphony, an open-source specification for turning issue trackers such as Linear into control planes for Codex coding agents. Instead of asking an AI tool for help with one coding problem at a time, Symphony is designed to let agents pick up work from an issue tracker, run in separate workspaces, monitor CI, and prepare changes for human review. In a blog post, OpenAI said the…

While the software development industry has been gorging on large language models (LLMs), the front-end ecosystem has quietly fractured into three competing but interrelated architectural paradigms. Between the dominance of reactive frameworks , the hypermedia-driven simplicity of true REST, and the decentralized resilience of SQL everywhere , developers are no longer just choosing a library, the…

One of the more dangerous assumptions in the current AI market is that broad adoption means meaningful adoption. It does not. Much of what enterprises call AI transformation is, in fact, AI experimentation focused at the edge of the business, in systems and workflows that support employees but are not central to how the enterprise actually operates. These include calendaring, scheduling, meeting …

JavaScript remains one of the most in-demand programming languages for web development—and that’s not likely to change anytime soon. While a JavaScript certification alone may not land anyone a development job, it definitely has its benefits. “JavaScript isn’t just holding steady, it is still the most in-demand language in the market,” says Dan Roque , recruitment manager at HRUCKUS , a provider …

The most important thing Google announced at Google Cloud Next 2026 wasn’t another model, another Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), or another way to sprinkle Gemini across the enterprise (though it did all these things). Rather, it was an admission, or possibly a warning. Agents need supervision. We already knew this, of course, but “to know and not yet to do is not yet to know” as my high school ph…

Meta is continuing its compute grab as the agentic AI race accelerates to a sprint. Today, the company announced a partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) that will bring “tens of millions” of AWS Graviton5 cores (one chip contains 192 cores) into its compute portfolio, with the option to expand as its AI capabilities grow. This will make the Llama builder one of the largest Graviton customers…

As Europe seeks to assert its technological independence from the US vendors Aleph Alpha, once seen as Germany’s sovereign AI hope, is the target of a transatlantic takeover. Aleph Alpha is set to merge with Canada’s Cohere in a deal that will bring together Cohere’s global AI clout and Aleph Alpha’s background in research. The two companies hope they will be able to develop an AI powerhouse, wit…

Tencent has updated its Hunyuan AI model, its first major release since it recruited Yao Shunyu, a leading AI scientist from OpenAI. Tencent’s Hy3 model , currently available in preview, offers improvements in areas from complex reasoning to coding. The Chinese technology conglomerate is playing catch-up with other Chinese AI developers including ByteDance, Alibaba and DeepSeek. China is betting …

Cloud computing is a key foundation of modern business, yet many approach learning it in overly complicated ways. New learners often believe they need costly boot camps, certification bundles, or long technical courses before they can get a job in the field. This approach discourages potential entrants and creates false barriers around a discipline that’s already difficult to navigate. The truth …

To many people, AI manifests one of sci-fi’s central plot points: built intelligence or machines that think and act independently of a human supervisor. But from my perspective, we haven’t quite achieved the true fulfilment of that vision. For this reason, many thought leaders describe world models as AI’s next big paradigm shift. These models learn from the full physical environment — synthetic …

The AI agent introduction frenzy continued at a torrid pace this week, with OpenAI launching what it called workspace agents in ChatGPT and Microsoft adding hosted agents to its Foundry Agent Service. Both launched on the same day that Google both updated its Gemini Enterprise app to provide new ways for office workers to build, manage, and interact with AI agents, and launched the Gemini Enterpr…

Google is recasting its data and analytics portfolio as the Agentic Data Cloud, an architecture it says is aimed at moving enterprise AI from pilot to production by turning fragmented data into a unified semantic layer that agents can reason over and act on more reliably at scale. The new architecture builds on Google’s existing data platform strategy, bringing together services such as BigQuery …

The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) is recommending passkeys as the default authentication method for businesses to offer consumers, citing industry progress that now makes them a more secure and user-friendly alternative to passwords. In a blog post published this week, the agency said passkeys can now be recommended to both the public and businesses as a primary authentication method…

Microsoft plans to integrate Anthropic’s Mythos AI model into its Security Development Lifecycle, a move that suggests advanced generative AI is beginning to play a direct role in how major software vendors identify vulnerabilities and harden code against attack. The company said it will use Mythos Preview, along with other advanced models, as part of a broader push to strengthen secure coding an…
