Anthropic has announced that users will now be able to directly interact with certain tools within Claude. Claude already had the ability to connect to tools and take action on a user’s behalf in those tools, so what’s new today is the ability for the user to actually go in and interact with those tools directly in the Claude window. The tools and capabilities that are now supported include: Amplitude: Build analytics charts, explore trends, and adjust parameters Asana: Create projects, tasks, and timelines from chats Box: Search for files, preview documents inline, and extract insights and ask questions about…

The gambling company evoke Plc has seen its strongest quarter of the year, with revenue reaching £464 million ($635 million) but the CEO highlights disappointment in the UK Budget which he says dealt a ‘significant blow to both evoke and the wider regulated industry.’ It was in November when the UK government announced several changes to gambling taxes, including an increase in remote gaming duty which is to rise from 21 to 40 percent, beginning in April 2026. A creation of a new 25% general betting duty for online gambling has been created too, but this won’t come to fruition…

Enterprises should ensure strict access control and separation of duties. “Only a small, vetted group such as security operations, endpoint engineering, should have rights to view or export recovery keys. Approvals should be workflow-based, not ad hoc. Every key retrieval should leave an auditable, immutable trail, and ideally be tied to an incident or ticket ID,” said Jaju. CISOs should also ensure that when devices are repurposed, decommissioned, or moved across jurisdictions, keys should be regenerated as part of the workflow to ensure old keys cannot be used. Gogia warned of the long tail of insecure setups. Personal accounts linked…

The following article originally appeared on Mike Amundsen’s Substack Signals from Our Futures Past and is being republished here with the author’s permission.There’s an old hotel on a windy corner in Chicago where the front doors shine like brass mirrors. Each morning, before guests even reach the step, a tall man in a gray coat swings one open with quiet precision. He greets them by name, gestures toward the elevator, and somehow makes every traveler feel like a regular. To a cost consultant, he is a line item. To the guests, he is part of the building’s atmosphere.When management installed automatic…

Apple could be preparing to show the first tangible outcome of its newly announced AI tie-up with Google. According to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, Apple plans to announce a refreshed version of Siri in the second half of February 2026, and the update is expected to lean on Google’s Gemini AI models. If the report is accurate, the February reveal would mark the first Siri release that meaningfully delivers on the ‘Apple Intelligence’ vision Apple outlined back in June 2024, including features that let Siri perform actions by drawing on a user’s personal context and understanding what’s happening on-screen. But…

Today, we’re announcing the general availability of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) G7e instances that deliver cost-effective performance for generative AI inference workloads and the highest performance for graphics workloads. G7e instances are accelerated by the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs and are well suited for a broad range of GPU-enabled workloads including spatial computing and scientific computing workloads. G7e instances deliver up to 2.3 times inference performance compared to G6e instances. Improvements made compared to predecessors: NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs — NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs offer two times the…

European policymakers are currently changing a tyre on a moving car. They are navigating the implementation of the AI Act while simultaneously engaging in critical reflections on how the Act can be simplified and on the future of the GDPR. The central question: How do we find the right balance between empowering businesses to leverage the full potential of AI and ensuring privacy protection remains uncompromised? The findings from the Cisco 2026 Data and Privacy Benchmark Study, released today, provide a clear answer. To stay competitive, regulatory approaches must meet the new realities of AI and enable businesses to keep…

The Air Voltaic Cell uses high-voltage pulses to convert thermal and chemical potential energy in the air into electrical power UK climate tech investor Elbow Beach has made a £2 million seed investment in Ionech, an Oxfordshire-based clean-energy company developing a novel technology that generates electricity from the thermal energy of ambient air. Ionech’s core innovation, known as the Air Voltaic Cell, uses high-voltage pulses and field electron emission to create superoxide ions, enabling the conversion of thermal and chemical potential energy present in the air into usable electrical power. The company is targeting applications with high and continuous energy…

Previously, we provided a brief introduction to Google Gemini APIs and demonstrated how to build a Q&A application using SwiftUI. You should realize how straightforward it is to integrate Google Gemini and enhance your apps with AI features. We have also developed a demo application to demonstrate how to construct a chatbot app using the AI APIs.The gemini-pro model discussed in the previous tutorial is limited to generating text from text-based input. However, Google Gemini also offers a multimodal model called gemini-pro-vision, which can generate text descriptions from images. In other words, this model has the capacity to detect and…
