AIR Raises $50M to Secure AI Agents, Skills and MCP Servers
AIR’s researchers started with something that looked harmless: a useful AI skill. They placed it inside a respected open-source ecosystem, where it inherited the credibility of roughly 37,000 GitHub stars, promoted it to ordinary users, and watched security scanners approve it. People installed it. Eventually, AIR says the experiment reached more than 26,000 AI agents. […]
Cloover Adds $100M to Scale AI-Powered Home Energy Across Europe
Europe’s energy transition is usually discussed in enormous numbers: gigawatts of solar, millions of heat pumps, national climate targets and billions of euros in infrastructure. For a homeowner, however, the decision can become much smaller and much more uncomfortable. A family can understand exactly why solar panels, a battery or a heat pump makes sense […]
Scan.com Raises $220M to Expand U.S. Medical Imaging Infrastructure
A medical scan can take less than an hour. Reaching the scanner can take weeks. That gap is what Scan.com has spent nearly a decade trying to remove.

Dynatrace Acquires Arize AI to Build Toward Self-Improving Software
Dynatrace has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Arize AI, the company that created the AI observability category 6 years ago.

OpenAI Pauses Some Astra Work Over Critical Cyber Risk

Internal evaluations showed significant gains in agentic coding and cybersecurity, pushing OpenAI to pause some work involving the unreleased model while stronger safeguards are put in place. The key concern is unusually […]
The Forward-Deployed Engineer Is the Hottest Job in AI. It’s Also a Warning Sign
