Anthropic’s Claude models in Microsoft Foundry — hosted on Microsoft Azure and running on NVIDIA GB300 Blackwell Ultra GPUs — are now generally available, giving Azure-native enterprises a powerful new way to build autonomous and domain-specific AI agents. As agentic AI continues to drive enterprise innovation and becomes more autonomous, organizations need access to computing…
3.5 Flash: agentic tasks at scale This balance of speed and performance makes 3.5 Flash ideal for tackling long-horizon agentic tasks. What used to take a developer days or an auditor weeks, 3.5 Flash can now help complete in a fraction of the time, often at less than half the cost of other frontier models….
Physical AI push and resistance to robots The third flagship megaproject revolves around the South Korean government assigning a “national strategic industry” designation to physical AI—the AI systems that enable robots and self-driving vehicles to interact more autonomously with the real world.

One hill I’ll die on is that the most underrated use of AI is vibe-coding. I know, I know. Companies are laying off software engineers left and right, AI labs like Anthropic are claiming software engineering will be obsolete before we know it, and a major in computer science is no longer a ticket to…
Cursor isn’t letting the $60 billion SpaceX acquisition slow it down. On Monday, the company announced a new mobile app for iOS devices designed for users who want to prompt coding agents directly from their phone. The app ties into the Cursor 2.0 changes unveiled in October, which shifted the service towards independent coding agents….
