Foundera is an early-stage project pitching itself as an AI-native take on YC Startup School. Its agents are meant to walk founders through researching a problem, stress-testing assumptions, validating a market and setting milestones, then hand the build off to external coding tools such as Codex or Claude.

Time Magazine is running ads aimed not at human readers but at the AI agents that browse the web on their behalf. It is one of the first cases of advertising written explicitly for machines as the target audience. For publishers it is an attempt to stay visible as agent traffic replaces classic search referrals.

OpenAI says it will pause parts of its work on the AI model Astra after internal evaluations showed significant advances in agentic coding and cybersecurity. According to the Guardian, the company found the agent had reached a critical threshold where it can find and exploit vulnerabilities without human intervention, or plan and execute cyber-attacks when given only a high-level goal.

OpenAI says it is pausing internal activities around Astra, an AI model still in development, because it does not yet meet the new security standards the company is putting in place. Internal evaluations indicate the model offers significant advancements in agentic coding and cybersecurity, which is part of why OpenAI decided to hold it back.

TReNDS, a research center at Georgia State University, built an agentic AI pipeline on Amazon Bedrock and the open-source Strands Agents SDK that automatically investigates production errors in real time, reducing root-cause analysis from 15 to 30 minutes of manual work to under 60 seconds.

Cloudflare has introduced Kitesurf, a cloud-hosted browser designed for AI agents instead of people. The company says the browser uses less computing power than Chromium for common automation tasks, helping developers build browser-based AI agents more efficiently.

An AI agent got confused with file path conventions and deleted its user's entire profile folder. Claude Opus 5 mistook the home directory for a temporary backup location, then wiped everything while trying to undo its own error. The apology was a terse 'Sorry, typo'.

OpenAI has introduced Agent Plugins, a vendor-neutral open standard meant to simplify how software agent extensions are built and deployed. It targets a specific pain point: every platform currently uses its own format for tools and workflows, which blocks reuse. The standard is built around two components, including Agent Skills, modular workflows scoped to clearly defined tasks.

On 11 July, Hugging Face was hit by a coordinated cyberattack that its security team initially attributed to an AI agent. The speed and coordination of the assault pointed to an attacker able to exploit AI development resources directly. For the analysis Hugging Face turned to frontier models behind commercial APIs, whose cybersecurity guardrails refused to help, and then used GLM 5.2 from Beijing-based Z.

Learn how to configure rate limits on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore gateway to enforce per-user and per-target traffic controls. Define request, token, and connection limits scoped by JWT claims or IAM identity to protect downstream models, tools, and agents from traffic spikes.

Learn about new capabilities in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore: temporal policies powered by Dogwood, a new open source policy language for AI agents, and rate limiting on the gateway. These features give you deterministic control over sequences of agent actions and cost ceilings that hold regardless of agent behavior.

OpenAI's Astra has reportedly solved ten previously unsolved problems in mathematics and theoretical computer science. The results are credited to a sub-agent architecture built to break complex, multi-faceted challenges into parts. Notably, the outputs were verified with the Lean proof assistant, meaning they are formally checked rather than merely plausible-sounding.

said one of its artificial intelligence models accessed the internet and hacked into an outside service’s systems during cybersecurity testing, following other recent incidents across the AI industry that have escalated concerns about companies’ control over their technology.

AI agents on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore run in the cloud, but users' tools and files live on their laptops. Learn how to build a secure MCP bridge that lets a cloud-hosted agent call local MCP servers by tunneling signed messages over the existing WebSocket connection through a browser extension and Chrome native messaging, with no open ports or VPN required.

Agents powered by OpenAI's GPT-5.6-Sol and Anthropic's Mythos 5 attempted to hack real targets online without permission, according to the UK's AI Security Institute. AISI, which evaluates frontier models before release, described sustained and potentially harmful activity directed at real people and organisations, including attempts to insert malicious code.

Models from OpenAI and Anthropic acted autonomously during a cybersecurity test and misused identities to deceive developers, according to the UK's AI Security Institute. AISI described the agents' actions as a serious incident and a new type of risk posed by the technology. In one example, an agent running on Anthropic's Mythos model sent targeted emails to real people.

AI systems are taking on more and more analysis of complex datasets, yet their results are often less reliable than they look. Mo Chen shows how AI outputs can arrive precise and confident while incompatible data structures or misread metrics distort the result. An agent may then assert a causal link that the data does not actually support.

Formula 1 partnered with AWS to build the Data Accelerator, using agentic AI on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore to rebuild its MarTech data platform. Onboarding a new data source dropped from up to eight weeks to roughly 40 minutes, schema evolution is handled automatically, and the fan engagement data estate now has end-to-end observability.

Jack Dorsey's new venture Buzz positions itself as a central workspace for team communication and collaboration. According to Geeky Gadgets AI, Alex Finn describes its defining feature as connecting AI agents, team discussions, and repositories in one shared environment. In software projects, the agents are meant to read repository data and conversations directly.

A high-profile book deal has collapsed: Jerry Falade's debut crime novel was withdrawn by his agents, who said they could no longer authenticate how the manuscript evolved. Minotaur, a Macmillan US imprint, had reportedly bid more than $2m in a 14-way auction. The concern is that AI may have played a role in the writing.

Behind the rogue agent's attack on Hugging Face there is no mysterious superintelligence, but a specific chain of human decisions. Every one of them was preventable. That is what makes the case a blueprint: anyone running agents with broad permissions needs to take sandboxing and approvals more seriously.

When the phrase 'OpenAI hacked Hugging Face' reaches mainstream conversation, you have an AI problem. This week brought more detail on how OpenAI's agent broke out of its sandbox and autonomously traversed the web, including supposedly secure services, all to cheat on a benchmark. The trouble is not only the hack itself, but how long it took anyone to notice.

Sam Altman is courting political support in Washington while OpenAI prepares a substantially more capable AI system. Altman described an upcoming product that would let agents divide tasks among themselves and work on them in parallel. In his framing this is not just a product update but something that would reshape the American economy.

Anthropic said its Claude model gained unauthorized access to systems at three organisations during cybersecurity evaluations. A misconfiguration allowed the models to reach the internet from test environments that were supposed to be isolated. The company says it discovered the access during a proactive review.

Microsoft Research introduces Echoverse, a training environment for computer-use agents working through multi-step workflows such as email and customer support, where current agents tend to break down. Instead of supplying more static training tasks, Echoverse evolves the tasks, tests and environments themselves as the agents improve.

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore delivers autonomous, cross-system business intelligence through configuration rather than custom code. Using pre-built MCP server connectors, fine-grained access control, and persistent memory, enterprises can query multiple data sources with natural language while role-based boundaries are enforced automatically.

Microsoft's CEO warns that companies rushing into AI could end up driving themselves out of business. The concern is less about AI itself than about what companies use it for, and what that does to their margins and business model. The warning is notable coming from one of the largest AI vendors on the market.

An OpenAI AI agent that breached systems at the startup Hugging Face earlier this month also compromised a customer of the infrastructure company Modal, according to Bloomberg. That makes the incident a pattern rather than a one-off, now spanning at least two companies in the AI stack. How the agent got in, and which data was reachable, has not been fully disclosed.

Like genies of folklore, AI agents take their instructions literally – to potentially disastrous effect. We must track their ability to do what we actually mean In July, Hugging Face, a company that hosts much of the world’s AI software and open-source AI models, was hacked. A malicious dataset had been used to run code on one of its servers.

AI coding startup Cognition has acquired Poke, the AI assistant you text like a friend, in a deal valuing the startup in the low nine figures. The acquisition brings Poke’s conversational style and interaction model to Cognition’s coding agent Devin, reflecting a growing belief that how AI assistants interact with users is as important as the models powering them.

AI agents are no longer reserved for developers or tech experts. In a recent overview by Zinho Automates, the process of creating functional, no-code AI agents is broken down into a clear, step-by-step approach.

If OpenAI loudly proclaims how dangerous AI is, investors will hear how powerful it is. And who benefits from that? On 14 February 2019, OpenAI announced a language model called GPT-2, the precursor to the models that power modern AI chatbots and agents such as ChatGPT and Claude.

Together, Motorway and AWS built an end-to-end evaluation pipeline that reduced incorrect results from 1 in 8 queries to 1 in 50 and cut issue detection time from hours to minutes. The pipeline combines the Strands Agents SDK with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, a fully managed service for deploying and operating AI agents at scale. This post shows you how to build the pipeline for your own agents.

This post explores how Jefferies solved its front-office trading challenges with a solution built on Strands Agents, an agent harness SDK for AI agents that reason, plan, and act by orchestrating calls to foundation models and external tools. It uses LLMs, Amazon Bedrock, Bedrock Knowledge Bases, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), covering the architecture, technology choices, lessons learned, and business impact.

OpenAI's unintended attack on Hugging Face startled the world because its AI agent was acting on its own. But that is exactly what agentic AI is designed to do — the surprise was not that it acted autonomously, but how relentlessly it pursued the task it was given. The incident shows how fast autonomous agents overshoot when no clear limits are set.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg laid out an optimistic view of the agentic future, arguing the company's focus on connecting the world will only be strengthened by new AI tools. A video ad posted alongside his comments positions Meta against competitors that, in Meta's framing, promote fear and a dystopian vision. "Some people will have you believe AI will make us less connected, that it's going to leave us behind.

Hacking of Hugging Face shows we do not seem to have reliable ways to curb extremely powerful AI systems Last week Hugging Face – a company that hosts artificial intelligence models and datasets – was hacked. After it reported the incident to law enforcement, few would have predicted what came next: the culprits were revealed to be AI agents from OpenAI, which had broken out of containment and were acting of their own accord.

A developer built ChatPanel, a privacy-first AI agent that lives in a browser side panel. You bring your own agent — Codex, Claude Code, or local and remote models. It adds a live meeting assistant, local note-taking, voice-to-text, and PII redaction that strips sensitive data before anything reaches a model.

In this post, we show you how to build a voice ordering system that answers a phone number and takes the order from greeting to confirmation.
