In the midst of the World Cup, a team of cybercriminals leaked 802,000 stolen accounts in a single day, as part of a massive wave of sports streaming credentials. The attack exposes the fragility of security on streaming platforms and turns fans into victims of their own passion.
Meta says companies have just 20 months to redesign their infrastructure amid the explosion of AI agents. Automated traffic already surpasses human traffic, and traditional systems are collapsing in capacity, identity, and speed.
Google has changed the way Gemini quotas are calculated, moving from counting conversations to counting tokens. This significantly reduces the number of free responses users can get daily, generating uncertainty and criticism in the community.
Xpeng has launched the L03, an electric coupe-SUV that becomes the first mass-produced vehicle to incorporate proprietary artificial intelligence chips. The internally developed Turing AI equips the base version and reaches peak performance in the Ultra variant with three units.
Microsoft is instructing its sales force to disparage OpenAI and Anthropic models, according to TechCrunch. The move reflects growing rivalry in the enterprise AI market, where the company seeks to boost its own internal models over those of its former partners.
Databricks has closed a funding round led by Coatue Management that values it at $188 billion, surpassing the $175 billion previously discussed. This milestone underscores the growing demand for data infrastructure and artificial intelligence in the enterprise.
Vint Cerf, internet pioneer, is working on a new standard for AI agents to identify themselves when browsing. The initiative aims to balance automation and control, and could redefine web governance.
1Password has introduced '1Password for Claude', an integration that allows Anthropic's AI assistant to log into services on behalf of the user without accessing passwords. The solution is based on a zero-exposure architecture and requires biometric approval for each use, marking a milestone in the security of AI agents.
