US startup Anchr has secured $5.8 million in seed funding to develop what it describes as the first end-to-end AI-native operating system for food distributors, targeting one of the most operationally complex yet technologically underserved sectors of the global supply chain. The funding round was backed by a16z Speedrun, Anterra Capital, Offline Ventures, Long Journey Ventures, alongside several industry leaders connected to OpenAI. The investment will support the company’s development of an integrated artificial intelligence platform designed to automate operational workflows across sales, purchasing, inventory management, finance and logistics. The company argues that despite the enormous scale of the food…

Data shows the Bitcoin Funding Rates have turned negative across exchanges recently, indicating bearish bets are currently dominating. Aggregated Bitcoin Funding Rates Have Plunged As pointed out by analytics firm Santiment in a new post on X, the aggregated Bitcoin Funding Rates are currently showcasing a significant short bias. The “Funding Rate” here refers to an indicator that keeps track of the amount of periodic fees that derivatives market traders are exchanging between each other on a given centralized exchange. When the value of this metric is positive, it means the long contract holders are paying a premium to the…

Justin Sun’s Tron network has joined the Agentic AI Foundation to prepare and support the widespread adoption of AI agents.In an announcement on Monday, Tron’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) revealed that the Tron network has signed on as a member of the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) and will serve on its governing board.Tron DAO said that there will be significant demand coming from agentic AI in the future, and as such, it requires collaboration and interoperability to establish systems that can handle “continuous, high-volume, low-value transactions efficiently at scale.”“Interoperable frameworks are expected to play an important role in ensuring that…

I was woken by Vitalik’s call at 5:55 this morning; pitch black outside, nighttime was still upon us. Nonetheless, it was time to leave and this week had best start on the right foot. The 25-minute walk in darkness from the Zug-based headquarters to the train station was wet. Streetlights reflecting off the puddles on the clean Swiss streets provided a picturesque, if quiet, march into town. I couldn’t help but think the rain running down my face was a very liquid reminder of the impending seasonal change, and then, on consideration, how fast the last nine months had gone.…

Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI), a new Paris-based startup cofounded by Meta’s former chief AI scientist Yann LeCun, announced Monday it has raised more than $1 billion to develop AI world models.LeCun argues that most human reasoning is grounded in the physical world, not language, and that AI world models are necessary to develop true human-level intelligence. “The idea that you’re going to extend the capabilities of LLMs [large language models] to the point that they’re going to have human-level intelligence is complete nonsense,” he said in an interview with WIRED.The financing, which values the startup at $3.5 billion, was co-led…

In the fast-moving world of agentic workflows, the most powerful AI model is still only as good as its documentation. Today, Andrew Ng and his team at DeepLearning.AI officially launched Context Hub, an open-source tool designed to bridge the gap between an agent’s static training data and the rapidly evolving reality of modern APIs. You ask an agent like Claude Code to build a feature, but it hallucinates a parameter that was deprecated six months ago or fails to utilize a more efficient, newer endpoint. Context Hub provides a simple CLI-based solution to ensure your coding agent always has the…

bieten im Regelfall agentenlose Konfigurationen, greifen auf Cloud-basierte Modelle zu und belassen Daten auf den vorhandenen Plattformen. Letzteres dient sowohl der Sicherheit als auch dazu, die Verlagerung der damit verbundenen, massiven Datenbestände zu vermeiden. Darüber hinaus spielen bei Security-Tools für KI-Infrastrukturen natürlich auch KI-bezogene Funktionen eine Rolle. Zum Beispiel um große Datenmengen zu klassifizieren, zu tracken und gegen mögliche Missbrauchs- und Angriffsversuche abzusichern. Einige Anbieter haben ihre bestehenden CSPM- oder DSPM-Lösungen um AI-SPM-Features erweitert – inklusive Compliance-Prüfverfahren, Best Practices und Richtlinien, die alle drei Security-Posture-Management-Arten abdecken. Andere offerieren umfassendere Lösungen, die eine Vielzahl KI-bezogener Sicherheitsmaßnahmen beinhalten. Zum Beispiel, um: KI-Pipelines und Workloads schützen, zu…
