AI Funding This Week: Capital Builds the Full Stack From Agents to Physical AI
AI funding this week looked less like one market and more like an entire technology stack being financed simultaneously. At one end, investors wrote enormous checks for autonomous agents, cybersecurity, GPU infrastructure and physical AI. At the other, smaller rounds targeted sharply defined problems in compliance, construction, insurance, HR, industrial robotics, voice, energy and legal […]
OpenAI GPT-6 Guide: Models, Prompting, Agents and Production
For years, improving an AI application often meant adding more instructions: another rule, another example, another paragraph explaining exactly what the model should do. OpenAI’s newest GPT-6 guidance suggests that habit may now be working against developers. In its practical guide published October 2, OpenAI says increasingly capable models understand nuance and ambiguity well enough […]
From Chatbots to Autonomous AI Workflows | HumanX 2026
The next enterprise AI failure may not be a hallucination or a rogue agent. It could be much simpler: a company spends millions on AI, celebrates hundreds of pilots and still cannot explain what changed in the business. That tension ran through Charlie Perreau’s conversation with H CEO Gautier Cloix at HumanX Amsterdam. The session […]
Akamai CTO Robert Blumofe on Trusting AI Agents at Scale
AI rarely looks dangerous in a demo. A model answers a few hundred questions, an agent completes a handful of tasks, and the failure rate appears small enough to ignore. Then the same system reaches production, handles millions of interactions and begins touching real customers, infrastructure and business processes. The tiny error that disappeared inside […]
Palma.ai’s $1.8M Bet: AI Agents Need a Control Layer Before They Get the Keys
For most of enterprise AI’s short history, the risk ended with the answer. A chatbot could summarise a document, draft an email or suggest a next step, but a person still decided what happened afterward. AI agents change that bargain. Once software can update a CRM, query a financial system, call internal tools or trigger […]
Claude Opus 5.5 Explained: Why Cost per Task Matters More Than Token Price
Anthropic launched Claude Opus 5.5 on September 22, 2026, as the first model in its Claude 5.5 family. It costs $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens, supports a 1 million-token context window, and can produce up to 128,000 output tokens in normal use. Those specifications tell only part of the […]
Spott Raises $21M to Turn Recruitment Databases Into Working Memory
Recruitment firms are not short of candidate data. The harder problem is that much of what recruiters actually know about a person gets buried inside calls, emails, notes, CVs and years of conversations that traditional databases struggle to understand together. Belgian recruitment software startup Spott is building its business around making that accumulated context usable […]
Why AI Self-Reflection Fails Without External Feedback
Most people who work with AI long enough eventually discover the same trick. The first answer is not quite right, so instead of starting over, you send it back: Check your work. Find the weaknesses. Improve the answer. The second response often feels noticeably better. The argument is cleaner. An awkward paragraph disappears. The model […]
Delos Raises €10M as AI Workers Move From the Chat Window to the Org Chart
Most software enters a company through a login. Delos wants its software to enter through the org chart. The company describes the distinction directly: “Not a chatbot to prompt. Real colleagues with their own email, phone and digital computer. Proactive, autonomous and working 24/7.” Its AI Workers are given something closer to the setup of […]
Clay Raises $115M at $7.1B to Build Self-Learning Revenue Engine
Most sales software waits for a human to decide what should happen next. Clay is raising $115 million to see whether the software itself can become better at making that decision. The New York-based company has closed a Series D at a $7.1 billion valuation, led by Wellington Management, with backing from Sequoia, StepStone, a16z […]
How OpenAI Agents Turned an Ordinary German Wiki Into AI Infrastructure
A small German programming wiki was never designed to become infrastructure for artificial intelligence. Yet in May 2026, researchers say OpenAI-linked autonomous agents began using DseWiki as a place to leave information for one another. What started as activity on an ordinary community website grew into more than 15,000 edits, with agents reportedly sharing task […]
AIR Raises $50M to Secure AI Agents, Skills and MCP Servers
AIR’s researchers started with something that looked harmless: a useful AI skill. They placed it inside a respected open-source ecosystem, where it inherited the credibility of roughly 37,000 GitHub stars, promoted it to ordinary users, and watched security scanners approve it. People installed it. Eventually, AIR says the experiment reached more than 26,000 AI agents. […]
