Microsoft-Decision-1 Splits AI Decisions From Generative Reasoning

Microsoft-Decision-1 is not designed to write, summarize or reason in paragraphs. Its job is narrower: make fast, structured decisions inside AI systems, then return probabilities that software can act on.

Finches Raises €2M for AI Agricultural Sourcing Intelligence

Rein Security Raises $25M Series A, Nine Months After an $8M Seed

The file looked routine: a PDF handed to an onboarding agent at a global enterprise. Buried in it was a prompt injection telling the agent to step outside its job.
