Nvidia to AI agents: Get a clue

Every enterprise company is currently trying to figure out how to have its AI tools work with its data. Meanwhile, every major enterprise vendor that works with those enterprises (think SAP, Microsoft, Salesforce, Workday, etc.) is making a claim on becoming the central hub for managing and securing that data.

But what about the companies that want to do it themselves? Nvidia, on Wednesday, announced how it wants to provide enterprise AI agents with the data they need to make sense of company data — all without competing with the data platforms that already store it.

At its GTC Berlin conference Wednesday, the company added Agent Knowledge Foundation to its Agent Toolkit. This new collection of open-source components bundles the company’s Nemotron Retriever models, a new Auto-Ontology library, the Kumo family of models for structured data, and its CUDA-X data processing libraries.

Agents pick up permissions on their own: a service account here, an inherited role there. When one touches something it shouldn’t, the audit trail often has nothing to show. In this free live webinar on October 27, you’ll learn how to:

• Trace an agent’s actions back to a real, accountable identity
• Connect agent activity to the identity provider you already use
• Decide which actions agents can take alone and which need human sign-off
• Build an audit trail for agent behavior without slowing your team down

Started at Owner.com last month, tsrs is now in Cloudflare’s hands, and the tricks it uncovered are making Microsoft’s own compiler faster too.

Cloudflare is going all-out to ensure that AI coding agents can check their work without exhausting available computing resources, leading a new effort to bring Microsoft's TypeScript compiler to Rust. But whatever you do, don't call it a fork. Taking to X, Cloudflare's...

WHAT ELSE IS NEW?

A smarter AI model won’t fix failing autonomous cloud operations. The fix, env zero argues, is context linking declared intent to what’s actually running.
