Cisco research: Trust, not technology, is now the speed limit on enterprise AI

For several years, the conversation about enterprise artificial intelligence has focused on capability: which model is smartest and which GPU is fastest. That made sense when technology was the constraint. It isn’t anymore. AI can now do far more than most organizations will allow, and the gap is trust. That’s the core finding of “Permission […] The post Cisco research: Trust, not technology, is now the speed limit on enterprise AI appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

The Metal kernel for ggml_tri has been updated to use a select operation instead of scaling by comparison, aligning its behavior with the CPU kernel. This change ensures that values outside the triangle are set to zero rather than becoming NaN when encountering ±inf. A new test, test_tri_special, validates this fix across all four triangle types, confirming it passes with the update but failed previously.

Exclusive: FormAssembly overhauls its platform to expand into AI-powered process automation

FormAssembly Inc., a provider of online data collection and workflow automation software, today announced a complete platform overhaul that expands its capabilities beyond building forms to automating complex business processes using artificial intelligence. The new platform, which the company said took seven months to develop, combines form creation, workflow automation, integrations and compliance management in […] The post Exclusive: FormAssembly overhauls its platform to expand into AI-powered process automation appeared first on SiliconANGLE.

v0.13.3

Open WebUI v0.13.3 introduces agent-based automations with terminal and folder persistence, allows changing terminals and folders mid-chat, adds Brazilian Portuguese translations, and fixes issues including incorrect file tab behavior, agent visibility in model pickers, clipboard functionality over HTTP, DeepSeek reasoning mode compatibility, tool call labeling consistency, knowledge search punctuation handling, and Docker image build reliability.

The llama.cpp v1.220.2 release introduces enhanced BF16 precision support across multiple components, aligning with reference implementations by moving specific operations like GLM4 family projections, MiMoVL vision matmuls, and Qwen3-TTS speaker encoder conv1d to BF16 where appropriate. Backends such as CUDA, Hexagon, OpenCL, WebGPU, and Vulkan now uniformly handle GGML_PREC_BF16 similarly to F32, while CPU, SpaceMIT, and ET backends extend flash attention support to BF16 with F32 accumulation. Flash attention tests now include BF16 cases, and the KQ multiplication in Llama is updated to request BF16 precision. A TODO remains in clip.cpp for future work.

The ggml library has been updated to make tied selections in the radix Top-K algorithm deterministic on CUDA and Metal backends by replacing atomic compaction loops with a deterministic scheme using simdgroup scans and coalesced memory accesses. This change ensures byte-identical outputs across runs, improves performance by 20-45% on M5 Ultra hardware, and enables deterministic testing for Metal and ROCm. Redundant CUDA kernel resets were removed, and Vulkan/Metal changes were reduced or skipped.

The metal backend's kernel_group_norm_f32 was updated to correctly handle tensors with ne03 > 1 and non-contiguous inputs by dispatching one threadgroup per (group, i03) pair, computing per-batch statistics, clamping group element count for incomplete groups, and supporting strided access via separate strides for source and destination. The fix also restricts GROUP_NORM to f32 inputs and improves performance through specialized pipeline variants.

Taxonomy of agentic primitives in Amazon Quick

As we built Amazon Quick, its agents grew from answering questions to taking actions, and the same primitives kept getting rebuilt under different names. This post shares the taxonomy we converged on — triggers, agents, capabilities, and learned context — found by decomposing agentic work into four plain questions: When, What, Who, and How.

Agents Are Going Async

Async subagents let an agent stay responsive while background workers run long tasks. How the orchestrator, notifications and approvals work in Deep Agents.

b12132

The latest release of llama.cpp, version b12132, includes the removal of u8path() in favor of generic_string(), along with updated binaries for multiple platforms including macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and openEuler, supporting various backends like CUDA, Vulkan, ROCm, OpenVINO, and SYCL.

b12170

The llama.cpp v1.21.70 release includes enhancements to the moe-cache system, introducing an LRFU/MQ-inspired hybrid cache with improved token handling, key computation, and decay calculations. Changes include adjusting the half-life parameter, increasing the number of classes to 8, refining score computation based on age, removing redundant branches, and improving documentation around unused slots and sorting. The release also features updated build binaries for multiple platforms including macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and openEuler, with support for CUDA, Vulkan, ROCm, OpenVINO, SYCL, and other backends.

Fourier’s Meta Prototype Puts a Spotlight on an 8-Billion-Yuan Robotics Bet

Shanghai’s Fourier Intelligence built a custom humanoid for Meta’s internal research in months. The company already has a rehab business, modest humanoid shipments, and a disclosed pre-money valuation of about 8 billion yuan. A marquee partner tests its engineering—it does not yet prove the equity story.
