Salesforce on Wednesday unveiled the most ambitious architectural transformation in its 27-year history, introducing "Headless 360" — a sweeping initiative that exposes every capability in its platform as an API, MCP tool, or CLI command so AI agents can operate the entire system without ever opening a browser.The announcement, made at the company's annual TDX developer conference in San Francisco, ships more than 100 new tools and skills immediately available to developers. It marks a decisive response to the existential question hanging over enterprise software: In a world where AI agents can reason, plan, and execute, does a company still need a CRM with a graphical interface?Salesforce's answer: No — and that's exactly the point."We made a decision

Enterprise AI is entering a new phase — one where the central question is no longer what can be built, but how to make the most of our AI investment.At VentureBeat’s latest AI Impact Tour session, Brian Gracely, director of portfolio strategy at Red Hat, described the operational reality inside large organizations: AI sprawl, rising inference costs, and limited visibility into what those investments are actually returning.It’s the “Day 2” moment — when pilots give way to production, and cost, governance, and sustainability become harder than building the system in the first place."We've seen customers who say, 'I have 50,000 licenses of Copilot. I don't really know what people are getting out of that. But I do know that I'm paying for the most expensive computing in the world, because it's GPUs,'" Gracely said. "'How am I going to get that under control?'"Why enterprise AI costs are

The journey from a laboratory hypothesis to a pharmacy shelf is one of the most grueling marathons in modern industry, typically spanning 10 to 15 years and billions of dollars in investment. Progress is often stymied not just by the inherent mysteries of biology, but by the "fragmented and difficult to scale" workflows that force researchers to manually pivot between the actual experimental design equipment, software, and databases.But OpenAI is releasing a new specialized model GPT-Rosalind specifically to speed up this process and make it more efficient, easier, and ideally, more productive. Named after the pioneering chemist Rosalind Franklin, whose work was vital to the discovery of DNA’s structure (and was often overlooked for her male colleagues James Watson and Francis Crick), this new frontier reasoning model is purpose-built to act as a specialized intelligence layer for life sciences research.By shifting AI’s role from a general-p

Confirming it has reached 3 million weekly developers, OpenAI is massively updating its Codex developer environment via its Mac and Windows desktop apps today to bring it closer to the “Super App” the company has confirmed it is pursuing.Before today, Codex was primarily an environment for using OpenAI’s underlying language models to write, edit, debug and ship software as directed by the user. Now, Codex will be able to access all of the other apps on your computer, surface relevant information from within them to you when asked or proactively, take actions as directed in said applications, and, in the case of Mac users, even do so while you continue manually using your computer simultaneously to your agents working in the background.Andrew Ambrosino, an OpenAI technical staffer on the Codex team, described the change plainly in an embargoed press briefing I attended virtually

Anthropic is publicly releasing its most powerful large language model yet, Claude Opus 4.7, today — as it continues to keep an even more powerful successor, Mythos, restricted to a small number of external enterprise partners for cybersecurity testing and patching vulnerabilities in the software said enterprises use (which Mythos exposed rapidly).The big headlines are that Opus 4.7 exceeds its most direct rivals — OpenAI's GPT-5.4, released in early March 2026, scarcely more than a month ago; and

Presented by Retool The logic used to be: buying software is cheaper, faster, and safer for most use cases. Building was reserved for companies with large engineering teams, deep pockets, and problems so specific that no vendor could address them. But now, the cost to code a piece of software has dropped to zero. Anyone can build their own software now, but enterprise and governance models have yet to catch up. Retool’s 2026 Build vs. Buy Shift Report, based on a survey of 817 builders, traces exactly how this shift is playing out.The cost curve changed; SaaS pricing didn’tTwo years ago, a custom internal tool might have taken an engineering team weeks or months and cost six figures. Today, an operations lead with the right platform can have a working prototype in a day or two. This structural shift is driven by AI-assisted development and the maturation of enterprise app-

Microsoft assigned CVE-2026-21520, a CVSS 7.5 indirect prompt injection vulnerability, to Copilot Studio. Capsule Security discovered the flaw, coordinated disclosure with Microsoft, and the patch was deployed on January 15. Public disclosure went live on Wednesday.That CVE matters less for what it fixes and more for what it signals. Capsule’s research calls Microsoft’s decision to assign a CVE to a prompt injection vulnerability in an agentic platform “highly unusual.” Microsoft previously assigned CVE-2025-32711 (CVSS 9.3) to EchoLeak, a prompt injection in M365 Copilot patched in June 2025, but that targeted a productivity assistant, not an agent-building platform. If the precedent extends to agentic systems broadly, every enterprise running agents inherits a new vulnerab
