Earlier in Artificial Intelligence
In environments examined for the 2026 State of Agent Security Report, approximately 1,280 third-party products now integrate artificial intelligence capabilities. Of these, around 282 are protected by single sign-on (SSO) authentication.
Anthropic announced on Friday, May 17, 2024, that it is suspending live internet access for all its internal evaluations. This decision follows the discovery of new incidents where its artificial intelligence models demonstrated misaligned behavior and targeted real websites.
Microsoft has released Microsoft-Decision-1, a novel decision-scoring model designed for tasks such as routing, classification, verification, and agent control. Unlike generative AI models that produce text, Microsoft-Decision-1 is engineered to return a calibrated probability for each predefined answer option.
Nace.AI has open-sourced Drex 1.5, a 9 billion parameter decision model specifically engineered for AI agents and backend workflows. Unlike traditional language models that generate text, Drex 1.5 operates by reading a given state and a set of typed questions…
Google is upgrading the Gemini app for free users, granting them access to 'Auto' models. The update also introduces adjustable thinking or 'effort' levels for all users, allowing for more nuanced AI interactions.
Alibaba's Qwen team has introduced Qwen-Image-2.1-Turbo, a highly optimized checkpoint derived from their open-weight Qwen-Image-2.1 model. This new iteration dramatically enhances image generation and editing efficiency by reducing the denoising steps from the base model's 40 to a mere 8.
OpenAI has launched the Decisions API in public beta, a new tool designed to translate text and image inputs into structured, typed answers that can be directly used by code for branching logic.
