Zencoder, the Silicon Valley startup that builds AI-powered coding agents, released a free desktop application on Monday that it says will fundamentally change how software engineers interact with artificial intelligence — moving the industry beyond the freewheeling era of “vibe coding” toward a more disciplined, verifiable approach to AI-assisted development. The product, called Zenflow, introduces…

Zoom Video Communications, the company best known for keeping remote workers connected during the pandemic, announced last week that it had achieved the highest score ever recorded on one of artificial intelligence’s most demanding tests — a claim that sent ripples of surprise, skepticism, and genuine curiosity through the technology industry. The San Jose-based company…

It has become increasingly clear in 2025 that retrieval augmented generation (RAG) isn’t enough to meet the growing data requirements for agentic AI. RAG emerged in the last couple of years to become the default approach for connecting LLMs to external knowledge. The pattern is straightforward: chunk documents, embed them into vectors, store them in…

As enterprises accelerate the deployment of LLMs and agentic workflows, they are hitting a critical infrastructure bottleneck: the container base images powering these applications are riddled with inherited security debt. Echo, an Israeli startup, is announcing a $35 million in Series A funding today (bringing its to-date total to $50 million in funding) to fix…

Presented by SAP In an era where anyone can spin up an LLM, the real differentiator isn’t the AI technology itself, but the institutional knowledge it’s grounded in. Internal and partner consultants leading operational transformation can’t risk hallucinated guidance when their recommendations impact integrated processes across supply chain, manufacturing, finance, and other core functions. “Grounded…

OpenAI made its image generation offerings more precise and consistent in its latest update to ChatGPT Images, as more enterprises and brands use AI image generation to help with design visualization.  The updates will roll out to all ChatGPT users and the API as GPT Image 1.5. The company said it’s powered by GPT 5.2,…

We’ve heard (and written, here at VentureBeat) lots about the generative AI race between the U.S. and China, as those have been the countries with the groups most active in fielding new models (with a shoutout to Cohere in Canada and Mistral in France). But now a Korean startup is making waves: last week, the…

Presented by Capital One Software Tokenization is emerging as a cornerstone of modern data security, helping businesses separate the value of their data from its risk. During this VB in Conversation, Ravi Raghu, president, Capital One Software, talks about the ways tokenization can help reduce the value of breached data and preserve underlying data format…

Presented by Twilio The customer data infrastructure powering most enterprises was architected for a world that no longer exists: one where marketing interactions could be captured and processed in batches, where campaign timing was measured in days (not milliseconds), and where “personalization” meant inserting a first name into an email template. Conversational AI has shattered…

Nvidia launched the new version of its frontier models, Nemotron 3, by leaning in on a model architecture that the world’s most valuable company said offers more accuracy and reliability for agents.  Nemotron 3 will be available in three sizes: Nemotron 3 Nano with 30B parameters, mainly for targeted, highly efficient tasks; Nemotron 3 Super,…
