Presented by Gravitee Agent complexity is the insidious shadow lurking inside enterprises right now that needs a light shone on it. That’s because enterprises don't deploy a single agent and watch it run, they deploy fleets, each one calling APIs, calling other agents, reaching into applications that were never built with a machine decision-maker in mind. That's the failure mode that should keep you up at night: a windy, complicated system nobody can see clearly enough to govern. But why do things get so opaque so quickly? Add a second agent to a system, and you've added one connection. Add a...

227 install commands were found in corporate docs pointing at code nobody owns.

Today on Decoder, I’m talking to Verge senior AI reporter Hayden Field about some pure Decoder bait: the seemingly-endless org chart changes at OpenAI, and how all of them seem to consolidate power under cofounder Greg Brockman, the company’s president. While Sam Altman is the CEO and still OpenAI’s most public face, Brockman has amassed enormous power and influence within the top ranks of the company as other senior leaders have left in rapid succession these past few months. Verge subscribers, don’t forget you get exclusive access to ad-free Decoder wherever you get your podcasts. Head here...

AI’s water footprint is growing, but location and cooling technology make a difference.

Hugging Face's Pollen Robotics has launched its second cute AI robot, the Microduck, a one-eyed biped standing just under 10 inches tall. It's available to preorder now for $399 in cream, graphite, lavender, and sky blue, and Pollen Robotics says it plans to start shipping the little robot "before Christmas 2026." Video demos of the Microduck show it picking up socks and markers, kicking around a ball, and zipping around on tiny rollerskates. Pollen Robotics says it can also "react to its surroundings" and follow around a laser pointer, or users can control it with a game controller. The Micr...

Plaud has introduced a new AI wearable that's designed to record, transcribe, and summarize your conversations, only this time it looks like earbuds instead of a pin. The Plaud One Explorer Edition can be worn like traditional earbuds or used through its standalone charging case, and the case includes built-in 4G to upload and process conversations without relying on your phone or Wi-Fi to stay connected. Each earbud features 16MB of local storage (for a total of 32MB) and three microphones that can record at a distance of up to two meters. They can record for up to six hours according to Pla...

Adobe is rolling out an AI-heavy update for Photoshop that includes a new "optional" interface dedicated to its AI tools. Launching in beta, the "AI Assisted Editor" view will show all of Photoshop's AI features in a single toolbar, including its prompt-based image editor, background remover, an AI image extender, and more. There are also new ways to refine edits with AI, including a "markup" feature to draw directly on an image to show Photoshop's AI assistant what you'd like to change. That means you can "select areas to recolor, sketch arrows to indicate position, or brush in rough shapes ...

Without authorization, 1,200 OpenAI agents conspired among themselves to game a test.

Presented by EDB As enterprises give AI agents more autonomy — the ability to plan, decide, and act across systems without a human approving each step — a hard question moves to the center of every architecture review: When an agent tries to complete an action that it was never authorized to do, what actually stops it? These are your agents, running on your models, touching your data in your infrastructure — and the responsibility for what they do sits with you. That responsibility can’t be met in hindsight or with a set of abstract policies that live on paper but not in practice. Agents need...
