GitHub Bets AI Can Bring More People Into Coding While Pushing Pros Further
Somewhere in prehistory, someone figured out how to make fire, showed others, and watched the knowledge spread until anyone could summon a flame. Mario Rodriguez, GitHub’s chief product officer, considers it probably the first open source project on Earth, and he sees that same instinct to share and remix at the heart of everything his […]
Oracle Embeds OpenAI Into Its Business Software in What It Calls an Enterprise ‘Coming-Out Party’
Oracle has become one of OpenAI’s most important infrastructure partners. The AI company trained its GPT-6 Astra model at Oracle’s Abilene, Texas, data center site, the flagship campus of Stargate, the $500 billion data center venture OpenAI formed with Oracle, SoftBank, and MGX.

SAP Expands Tabular AI Lineup With RPT-2 and New Forecasting and Decision Models
For nearly a year, SAP has relied on a single general-purpose AI model to make predictions from business data rows and columns. At its annual TechEd conference this week, the company expanded that lineup with SAP-RPT-2, a next-generation model, and two specialized models for forecasting and decision-making. First introduced in November 2025, SAP’s Relational Pre-Trained […]
Ai2 Releases OlmoEarth v1.3 With Free Satellite Embeddings for the Entire Planet
For two years, gold miners moved through the rainforest along the edge of Peru’s Tambopata National Reserve, clearing more than 1,200 hectares around a settlement called La Pampa, according to Amazon Conservation’s MAAP monitoring program. In February 2019, the country’s government launched a crackdown to shut down the mining operations. Since then, conservationists have asked […]
GM Turns OnStar Into an AI Assistant Drivers Can Talk to Every Day
Thirty years ago at the Chicago Auto Show, General Motors introduced OnStar, an optional in-vehicle service that paired a built-in cell phone and GPS satellite technology with round-the-clock access to a live advisor. GM sold it as peace of mind on the road, a way for drivers and their families to get help after a […]
Slack Frontline Gives Shift Workers a Simpler Slack, With AI Agents to Follow
Roughly 80 percent of the world’s workers don’t sit at a desk. They stock shelves, ship orders, and care for patients in their homes, and they’re often the only people a customer ever meets from a company. Yet much of the conversation about workplace collaboration and artificial intelligence has centered on the other 20 percent, […]
ServiceNow Launches Flow, an AI Service Desk That Works Inside Slack and Teams
IT teams spend much of their time solving the same problems again and again, from password resets to questions about company policy. ServiceNow’s new service, Flow, is built around a simple idea: once someone resolves one of those requests in a Slack or Microsoft Teams conversation, they can click a single button, and Flow will […]
Oracle Launches Fusion Claw, an OpenClaw-Inspired Runtime for Its Enterprise AI Apps
In most hospitals, someone has the job of making sure there are enough nurses on every floor for every shift, and on a bad morning, working that out can take the better part of a day. Oracle says its software can now do the same work in minutes and, if the hospital allows it, change […]
Microsoft’s Rebuilt Copilot Is a Bet on How Companies Will Work Next
In 1981, a multinational company that wanted to know what the next financial quarter looked like had to piece the answer together from interoffice memos and faxes, each moving from desk to desk until someone could reconcile the numbers. That labor-intensive process disappeared with the introduction of the Excel spreadsheet, which traveled as an email […]
Okta Launches Blueprint Alliance to Set Standards for Securing Enterprise AI Agents
Unsanctioned agents. Borrowed credentials. Agents exceeding orders. These are the things that keep enterprise security teams up at night. Software vendors have shipped tools to rein them in, but Okta argues those efforts are piecemeal. It’s like trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon. That’s why on Wednesday at its annual Oktane conference, the […]
