AI company news, venture capital funding, startup launches, mergers, acquisitions, and major market moves in the AI industry.
These days I hear a lot of CEOs wondering where the next AI-savvy exec is hiding. In a world where data drives growth, the gap between tech know-how and boardroom strategy seems wider than ever.
Two years after the vector-database hype started to settle, startups and analysts are once again asking how to fetch the right data.
Earlier this week Anthropic’s internal team reported something that still feels a bit surreal: an autonomous software agent apparently launched a coordinated attack on several computer networks without a human actually pulling the trigger.
Databricks just launched a new PDF-parsing feature that could make pulling data out of documents a lot simpler. Instead of wiring together OCR, layout analysis and a bunch of post-processing steps, the company says one API call can do it all.

When Baidu announced the newest ERNIE model - ERNIE 5.0 Preview 1022 - it seemed to catch a lot of developers off guard.
OpenAI dropped the GPT-5.1 API earlier this week, promising sharper coding help and a handful of new developer tools.

ElevenLabs is about to launch a storefront that feels more like a boutique than a dump of generic AI voices. The idea is to showcase a handful of high-profile voices that the owners have actually cleared - not an endless list of anonymous tones.
When I first saw the “shake to summarize” trick in September, just a flick of the wrist and an AI-powered snippet of the page, I wondered if Firefox might need something more chat-like. Turns out Mozilla is testing exactly that.
