Snowflake's Cortex AI Gateway bets routing alone is not the differentiator

Databricks, AWS, Google Cloud, and Nvidia have all shipped some form of model

Enterprises burned by AI agents still race to remove human approval

Berd bets on open source as agent layer, but enterprise gaps remain

Block open-sourced Berd, an Apache 2.0 desktop application for working with AI agents across multiple models and harnesses, and is positioning it as the stable layer around an increasingly interchangeable agent stack.

Inkling-Small hits near-flagship scores at quarter size under Apache 2.0

Thinking Machines followed its flagship Inkling release with Inkling-Small, a 276-billion-parameter open-weight model that lands within a single point of the flagship on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index while using roughly a quarter of the active parameters. The new model posts 80.2% on SWE-bench

Scoped credentials alone won't secure AI agents: NTT DATA AIVista and Snowflake frame action-level governance as the missing layer

A VentureBeat survey found that 69% of enterprises running AI agents still share credentials across agents and users.

GM tripled pull requests by redesigning engineering loops around AI agents

At VB Transform 2026, General Motors' autonomous driving division described a structured approach to AI agent adoption that led to roughly three times as many merged pull requests, faster releases, and fewer defects escaping into later stages of development. The claim comes from Rashed Haq, GM's VP
