Lead story
Enterprise AI agents are giving confidently wrong answers because of missing or inconsistent company data, according to a survey of 130 people. The finding puts a practical question ahead of another round of agent demos: are organisations giving these systems dependable context to work with?

International AI governance needs more than another round of speeches: an Oman Observer opinion piece argues for an institution able to set standards, assess frontier systems and coordinate responses when they cross dangerous capability thresholds. It also calls for mandatory risk registries and an emergency mechanism.
Meta AI Watch
Meta AI Research has published six mathematics papers involving its Muse Spark model, with Tech Times reporting that five present answers to problems described as previously unsolved. The notable claim is that researchers used Muse Spark through the ordinary meta.ai chat interface, while mathematicians directed and checked the…
AWS AI Watch
AWS has introduced a skill that lets compatible coding agents help benchmark and configure generative AI inference on SageMaker. Developers can ask an agent to measure an endpoint, compare deployment options or generate executable code, with real workload measurements rather than estimates at the centre of the process.

Armadin has raised $255.5 million in a Series B round valuing the AI cybersecurity company at more than $2.5 billion, according to The AI Insider. The company says its agent swarm is designed to find weaknesses in organisations’ defences, putting a very large bet on automated security testing.
Anthropic Watch
The Pentagon says it has stopped using Anthropic’s AI tools, months after moving to blacklist the company. The BBC also reports that people familiar with defence operations said Claude was still in use as recently as last week, including through the military’s Maven data platform.
AWS AI Watch
AWS says Amazon Bedrock Managed Agents powered by OpenAI are now in public preview, letting customers build agents using OpenAI models inside AWS. The practical draw is that those agents can use AWS resources while remaining within the identities, permissions and governance controls customers already use.

TanStack has released version 1.0 of TanStack Charts, a data-visualisation library built around composable marks, scales and interactions. Its promise for developers is a charting system they can adapt as their needs grow, rather than outgrow and replace.
AMD Watch
AMD has published new AI benchmarks for its Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495, pitching Gorgon Halo as a rival to Nvidia’s coming RTX Spark devices. The headline advantage is memory: AMD’s system can be configured with up to 192GB of unified memory, but more room for a model…

Augmeta has raised $3 million to develop AI operators that investigate and act on business performance measures, rather than leaving every KPI to sit quietly on a dashboard. The startup says its system is already covering more than 100 KPIs at a Fortune 500 retailer.

Seventeen countries have endorsed a vision linking AI-assisted science with public access to data, computing and research facilities. The Kyoto declaration also backs research-integrity standards and new approaches to funding, but leaves practical details such as data access and computing allocations unspecified.

Together AI has launched Together Link, a way to use open-source coding models inside tools developers already use, including Claude Code, Claude Desktop and Codex. Its pitch is simple: let the harness choose a model for the task, then show what that choice costs.

HIVE Digital is converting former Bitcoin-mining sites into Canadian GPU cloud infrastructure, with two reported contracts worth an estimated $570 million combined. The plan links repurposed power-hungry facilities to demand for domestic AI computing, including a Cohere deployment.

Bridgewater Associates is urging policymakers to consider a 35% tax on AI use, with revenue used to give the public a stake in AI companies and help workers. The proposal, reported by the New York Post, turns the debate over AI’s economic gains into a concrete question: who…

New York City lawmakers are set to debate proposals for outside review of AI systems, human-operated shut-off controls and cash rewards for whistleblowers. A hearing reported for Monday brings those ideas into a live argument over how far a city should go in regulating AI companies.
