Patreon is laying off 20 percent of its workers, or around 93 employees, as reported earlier by 404 Media. In a memo to employees, Patreon CEO Jack Conte writes that the company isn't making these changes "because we believe AI replaces humans," but says AI has "fundamentally transformed the tech industry, including how we work, […]

Black Forest Labs has released Flux 3, a multimodal foundation model that learns from images, video, and audio and can generate video with native sound for the first time. BFL's own tests put it just ahead of market leader Seedance 2.0, though independent results aren't yet available. The company ultimately wants to build a world model and is already testing Flux 3 on robotics tasks. The article Flux 3 generates videos with native audio up to 20 seconds long, a first for Black Forest Labs appear

Black Forest Labs (BFL) is expanding its FLUX family beyond image generation with today's launch of FLUX 3 , a multimodal frontier model trained to understand and generate images, or combined audio/video clips up to 20 seconds from a single prompt — and to extend the same underlying architecture to robotic vision and actions. The Freiburg, Germany-based AI lab says FLUX 3 is jointly trained across those modalities rather than assembling separate image, video and audio models behind a common inte

When Cisco ran 6,986 multi-turn attacks against 15 flagship models , attackers who adapted across the conversation broke through as often as 88.3% of the time. Amy Chang, Cisco's head of AI threat intelligence and security research, brought that finding to the agentic security panel at VB Transform 2026 ; the number should worry anyone still running single-turn red-teaming programs. VentureBeat's June 2026 Pulse survey of 107 enterprise respondents explains why the room was full. More than half,

OpenAI's health product allows users to connect Apple Health and other data.

In an earnings call yesterday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk did his best to paint a positive portrait of the company's robotaxi program. New cities are being added, more miles are being driven, and more people are experiencing Tesla's unsupervised vehicles. But Musk's typical bullishness seemed to be absent from the call, as the occasional trillionaire […]

The Media Router is a tool that automatically selects the best image, video, or audio generation model for a request based on whether a developer prioritizes quality, speed or cost.
Across 107 enterprises, AI infrastructure spending is accelerating well ahead of the ability to see or steer its economics. Most organizations run their AI on a familiar base of hyperscalers and model-provider APIs, yet the next dollar is aimed at specialized compute almost none of them use today; a majority intend to switch or add providers within the year, many within a quarter. Buying decisions turn on integration and total cost of ownership rather than headline token price — which is fortuna

Zenity Labs uncovered "AgentForger," a vulnerability in OpenAI's Agent Builder that let a single manipulated ChatGPT link create an autonomous agent on an employee's behalf. The agent inherited the victim's identity and access rights, bypassed approval requirements through the malicious prompt, and pulled new instructions from the attacker's inbox every five minutes. The article One tampered ChatGPT link could spawn a rogue AI agent that took orders from an attacker every five minutes appeared f

Sorry for making it sound like a rant, but is anyone else actually tired of seeing the same AI slop landing pages? Those same card layouts and color shcemes? And those fake metrics, "Trusted by 10,000+ professionals", no bro my SimilarWeb extension shows 0 traffic on your site for the past 3 months.. I mean yeah I get it that you need to ship fast but maybe like delay your launch for 12-24 hrs and make at least a half decent and appealing landing page. These landing pages remind me of that scene
Together, Motorway and AWS built an end-to-end evaluation pipeline that reduced incorrect results from 1 in 8 queries to 1 in 50 and cut issue detection time from few hours to few minutes. The pipeline combines the Strands Agents SDK with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, a fully managed service for deploying and operating AI agents at scale. In this post, you will learn how to build this pipeline for your own agents.
Users can also integrate their personal data from services like Apple Health, Function, and MyFitnessPal.
OpenAI is rolling out ChatGPT Health to everyone in the US on Thursday, allowing more people to connect their medical records and health-tracking information to the chatbot. During a briefing, Ashley Alexander, OpenAI's vice president of health product, says the company's models "are now capable of reasoning at levels that are better than clinician level." […]

In this post, we explore how Jefferies overcame these challenges with a solution built on Strands Agents, an agent harness SDK for building AI agents that can reason, plan, and act by orchestrating calls to foundation models (FMs) and external tools. The solution uses large language models (LLMs), Amazon Bedrock, and Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases. It also uses Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that helps AI agents securely connect to diverse data sources and tools through a unified

At a CISO roundtable organized by Anthropic's chief information security officer, Dev Rishi asked a simple question: Did everyone in the room have their AI governance and security policies written down? Every hand went up — about 14 people, by his count. His follow-up, about how anyone actually enforces those policies in practice, got a different response. "And everybody chuckled," Rishi, the GM of AI at Rubrik , recalled at VB Transform 2026 fireside chat in Menlo Park. "It was like the dirty s
