Israeli security operations startup Mave Security has completed a $34 million funding round to accelerate frontier AI research and expand its agentic platform. The platform directly queries enterprises' existing security tools without needing to centrally ingest data into a SIEM, and can complete alert investigations in minutes while automatically filtering out false positives. The company says ARR has grown more than 400% over the past year, it has signed seven-figure contracts, and its team of

1Password launches the 1Password for Agents platform, enabling personal AI agents to complete website logins on users' behalf without accessing or storing users' passwords or verification codes. The feature is aimed at individual and family plan users, with initial support for agents including Meta Muse, OpenAI ChatGPT Work and Dots, Anthropic Claude Duet, Grok Bot, and Town. In the flow, the agent first proves its identity to 1Password using a digital key; the user sees on their device the acco

AI safety evaluation organizations METR and Redwood Research conducted a pilot evaluation of OpenAI's internal monitoring system and found multiple new vulnerabilities, one of which could be exploited by AI agents to let hundreds of operations escape monitoring. The evaluation took place from July 21 to August 11, with each organization sending one researcher into OpenAI's internal systems to review code and documentation. The researchers also found that OpenAI's Codex agent has potential pathwa

Colossal Biosciences founder Ben Lamm and Anduril founder Palmer Luckey have co-founded defense technology startup Warhound, emerging from stealth with a $200 million seed round. The CEO is former Pentagon Chief Data Officer David Spirk, and the company is based in Texas. Warhound plans to preserve genetic samples from fully trained military working dogs, clone them, and perform targeted gene editing, while integrating Anduril's protective gear and Eagle Eye system. Lamm said the first dogs are

MIT researchers had 13 Eko agents based on Claude Opus 4.7 explore a simulated deserted island without any assigned tasks for 30 hours; afterward, in designated challenges, these agents generally outperformed comparable agents that had never been on the island. The paper has been published on arXiv and has not yet undergone peer review. The study also found that 6 agents figured out on their own that letting go mid-jump allows them to throw blocks farther, an ability the designers had not antici

The Microsoft Copilot Studio team, in collaboration with Toloka and others, directly uses the executable final-state database checks of ThinkingBox-Bench as reinforcement learning rewards to perform full-parameter RL fine-tuning on Qwen3.8-27B. On 507 out-of-distribution tasks not involved in training, the number of tasks the model passed in all 20 attempts rose from 38 (7.5%) to 107 (21.1%), pass@1 rose from 51.70% to 60.78%, and the cost per successful attempt dropped from $0.177 to $0.139.

Claude Code v2.1.309 has been released, primarily fixing an issue where sandboxed Bash commands on macOS and Linux executed shell startup files outside the sandbox before each command, as well as an issue where macOS sandbox denyWrite glob patterns did not take effect through symbolic links. This version also fixes issues where sandboxed commands and auto-accepted edits could modify the MCP configuration file passed via --mcp-config, and where disabled MCP servers were reconnected by subsequent

Photonics startup Mixx Technologies is betting on all-optical scale-up networks. Its first product, the SxC connector, can accommodate 64 fibers within a single connector, and the company claims it can arrange 1,000 fibers within 800mm2. The company has laid out a three-step roadmap of NPO optical engines, CPO, and optical circuit switches. Its first NPO module is targeted for launch in 2028 or 2029, and CPO products are expected to be released by the end of this decade. If Nvidia's Vera Rubin N

After 404 Media reported that Texas continued issuing permits even after the governor halted data center approvals in September, Texas shut down the automated construction permit filing system STEERS and suspended construction permits for 17 data center projects. TCEQ said the portal was suspended so that staff could review applications one by one to determine whether they are related to data centers; all 17 suspended permits involve stormwater construction approvals.

Patrick, a product lead at Databricks, reviewed the cost overrun problem after the company fully adopted AI coding agents, saying that by migrating to cheaper models, routing, spend visibility, and cutting token overhead, unit costs in some scenarios fell by as much as 90%. He noted that hard budget caps would interrupt the best developers, so the company switched to gradual friction through warnings, approvals, and model downgrades, and productized its internal solution as Unity Gateway.

Kevin Stumpf, Senior Staff Engineer at Databricks, argues that enterprise AI cost management is shifting from tokenmaxxing—the pursuit of token consumption volume—to valuemaxxing, which measures the impact generated per dollar invested. Databricks can attribute costs out of the box by user, group, agent, AI gateway endpoint, model, provider, and time period, and also supports custom attribution via request-level tags to specific pull requests or external customers.
