The funding call is open to researchers worldwide and focuses on the risks that may emerge when large populations of AI agents interact across shared digital systems. Google DeepMind and partners have opened a $10 million funding call for research into the safety of interacting AI agent systems Google DeepMind , Schmidt Sciences, the Cooperative AI Foundation, the Advanced Research and Invention …

Introduction Artificial intelligence is now much more advanced than chatbots. With little assistance from humans, modern AI systems are capable of reasoning, planning, using tools, remembering previous interactions, and carrying out complicated tasks. We refer to these systems as AI Agents. AI agents are quickly emerging as a crucial component of contemporary software engineering, from coding ass…

The pitch is exactly that. The users are autonomous agents. Humans don't get profiles, don't swipe, don't message. They watch. The site is live at https://dating.makeacompany.ai/?source=dev-to . Code is being run inside makeacompany.ai, where two Claude Code agents (Ross and Joanne) drive a Slack channel and a human (Grant) hits Publish on artifacts the agents can't post under their own name. Thi…

Welcome back to TechCrunch Mobility, your hub for the future of transportation and now, more than ever, how AI is playing a part.

Autonomous AI agents are powering everything from customer support to high-frequency trading—but as they gain more control, the threats grow sharper. Too many agent security stacks depend on brittle prompt instructions, leaving gates open for jailbreaks and unintended command execution. Kakunin’s newly launched cryptographic compliance shield for AI agents moves the checkpoint to a place prompt h…

Github: https://github.com/LeoTheAIDev/Altiverse What if you could test a major decision before actually making it? Not with a spreadsheet. Not with a static forecast. Not with a few assumptions hidden inside a slide deck. I mean watching the decision unfold inside multiple simulated worlds. That is the idea behind AltiVerse. AltiVerse forks one real-world decision into several alternate realitie…

Most "AI agent" products in 2026 are GPT wrappers with a nice UI. They respond to prompts. They don't run in the background. They don't have KPIs. They don't escalate to a human when something breaks. An actual AI employee is different. Here's the breakdown from someone who builds them in production. The Definition That Matters An AI employee is an autonomous AI agent with a job description, tool…

A while back I wrote a comparison of OpenClaw and Hermes — two open-source, self-hosted AI agents I run on the same bare-metal box, both wired to Telegram. The verdict was that they're complementary: OpenClaw as the dependable gateway for scheduled delivery, Hermes as the agent that builds context over time. Run both, I said. Don't choose. Then I actually lived with both for a few more weeks, and…

The distributed systems world solved long-running transactions with SAGA. The agentic AI world has a harder version of the same problem. Here's how Agent Harness answers it. Introduction I've been deep in agentic AI architecture for a while now & building Digital Workers , designing multi-agent systems , working through the messy production realities of agents that call tools, consult knowledge b…

AI agents are getting good at doing things — triaging your inbox, updating a Notion doc, opening a GitHub issue, moving a Trello card. But to do any of that, an agent needs access to your accounts. And that's where most setups quietly become a problem: you hand an agent a long-lived API key or an OAuth token with broad scopes, and from that moment you have very little say over what it actually do…

An AI agent system proposed by researchers in Spain promises to prevent energy theft and damage to EV chargers, as well as the critical energy infrastructure that powers them.

I left a multi-agent refactor running overnight. By morning the model was gone, pulled out from under me by a government I don't even vote for, on the other side of an ocean. This isn't really a story about Anthropic. It's a story about who's actually holding the off-switch, and right now it probably isn't you. So here's how my morning went. I had a job running. Not a toy, a proper codebase-wide …

If you're building autonomous trading agents on Solana, you've hit this problem: your agent needs to vet a token before it buys — but most agents trade blind. They have no idea whether a token is a rug pull, a honeypot, or has an active mint authority that can dilute holders to zero. I built RugCheck AI to fix this: an MCP server that screens any SPL / Token-2022 token for the common scam pattern…

Three days ago, Anthropic released Claude Fable 5 — their first publicly available Mythos-class model, sitting above the entire Opus tier. It benchmarks over 10% better than Opus 4.8 on some coding tasks, ships with a 1M context window by default, and is built specifically for multi-agent workflows. Planning, sub-agent delegation, long-running autonomous execution. It's available in VS Code right…

AgentPerf from Artificial Analysis, the industry’s first agentic AI benchmark, gives developers, enterprises and infrastructure providers a clear way to compare systems for agentic AI. In the first round of published results, the NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra NVL72 platform delivers leading performance across the agentic AI workloads tested, running 20x more agents per megawatt than NVIDIA […]

I've spent some quite of time building conversational AI agents on Cognigy.AI — enterprise voice bots, multilingual flows, NLU training, the works while working at Deloitte. It's a powerful platform. It's also a lot of clicking. Create flow, open node editor, configure node, train intents, create snapshot, promote to next environment... and now we live in a world where my coding assistant can wri…

We built AgentForge to solve our own problem. Here's what 6 months of production multi-agent deployment taught us. Lesson 1: Start with Failure Modes, Not Success Cases Everyone designs for the happy path. But in multi-agent systems, the failure modes multiply: Agent A succeeds but takes 30s → Agent B times out waiting Agent A returns malformed JSON → Agent B crashes parsing Two agents try to wri…

SpaceX is planning a million AI-powered satellites in orbit, aiming to create the largest orbital computing network in history.

Reusable rockets and Starlink made Elon Musk’s company dominant in spaceflight. Its record valuation leans on making Starship flights routine and orbital AI data centers real

Falling overboard from a ship is one of the most dangerous emergencies at sea. Every minute matters, and the chances of survival can quickly decrease as people become exhausted, suffer from cold water exposure, or drift far away from the vessel. Researchers at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) are developing a new autonomous rescue […] The post Smart rescue drone could save people who fal…
