OpenClaw — nicknamed “lobster” in China — has become a fast-growing, tangible signal: consumers and entrepreneurs are building a new AI service economy around a locally running agent even as regulators move to curb its institutional use. That split — energetic grassroots commercialization on one side, and security-driven bans on the other — is the […]
Replit‘s jump to a $9 billion valuation after a $400 million Series D led by Georgian Partners isn’t just investor enthusiasm — it’s betting that much faster AI agents and a mass-market interface will scale into real enterprise workloads. The company pairs a reported user base above 40 million with Agent 4, a ten-times-faster AI […]
BlackSanta is a focused, kernel‑level intrusion campaign that has quietly targeted HR teams for more than a year, using resume‑themed ISO files and signed but vulnerable drivers to disable endpoint defenses and siphon sensitive data without triggering normal alerts. What makes BlackSanta different This is not opportunistic commodity malware. BlackSanta combines spear‑phishing aimed at recruitment […]
Google has rolled Gemini 3.1 into the Chrome sidebar for desktop and iOS users in India, bringing a multilingual, cross-tab assistant tightly connected to Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Maps and YouTube—not a separate chatbot but an in-browser productivity layer designed to keep work inside the browser. What changed and who sees it Gemini in Chrome is […]
Microsoft is extending Entra passkeys on Windows to a part of the estate that has usually fallen back to weaker sign-in: personal, shared, and otherwise unmanaged PCs. The practical change is not that Windows gets a new passwordless option in general, but that organizations can now use phishing-resistant Entra authentication on Windows devices outside the […]
Android Repair Mode changes one specific part of phone servicing: it lets a technician test and diagnose a compatible device without seeing the owner’s apps, files, or account data, and without forcing a factory reset first. That is useful, but it is narrower than many people assume. It protects access during repair; it does not […]
Pokémon Go did not just popularize augmented reality on phones. The game also generated a large, structured image dataset that Niantic Spatial is now using as a visual positioning system for robots, with centimeter-level accuracy in places where GPS often fails. That matters less as a story about gaming and more as a deployment story: […]
Eridu’s pitch is straightforward: the bottleneck in large AI clusters is no longer mainly the GPU, but the network that has to keep those GPUs fed and synchronized. Its oversubscribed $200 million Series A is backing a silicon-first redesign of AI data center networking, not a marginal upgrade to existing switch layers. What changed, and […]
AgentMail’s $6 million seed round is notable less because it adds another email API to the market and more because it treats email as infrastructure for autonomous software. The company is building inboxes that AI agents can create, manage, and use on their own, with security controls designed for machine-driven communication rather than human staff […]
A0Backdoor is not just another phishing case on Microsoft Teams. The campaign works because it chains together trusted collaboration features, legitimate Windows administration tools, signed installers, and covert DNS traffic in a way that can slip past controls built for simpler email-based attacks. What changed in this Teams-based attack The key shift is that attackers […]
YouTube’s latest Premium Lite upgrades changed the comparison in a specific way: for many people, the gap with full Premium is no longer about basic playback convenience, but about music. At roughly $8 a month, Premium Lite now covers background play and offline downloads for most videos, while full Premium at about $14 still keeps […]
AMI Labs is not positioning itself as another large language model company. Its $1.03 billion seed round is a direct bet on “world models” that learn from video, 3D, and spatial data to predict physical environments, with Yann LeCun and a team of ex-Meta researchers arguing that embodied understanding matters more than text generation for […]
