Commerce
The distribution platform didn't ask merchants to opt in — it flipped the switch. On the same day, Amazon locked its door. Agent commerce just split into two models.

Models
Koray Kavukcuoglu confirmed the model is in early post-training, targeting release 'much earlier' than year-end. Google's current frontier trails Opus 5.5 by 40% on the Intelligence Index.
◆ Lena Park
Agents at Work
The $955M acquisition of Cognigy signals that the routing layer — the last human-held chokepoint in enterprise service — is the new battleground for AI agents.
◆ Dana Ellison
Infrastructure
The managed database provider launches Runtime and DataHub on open-source foundations, positioning cloud-agnostic data infrastructure as the horizontal alternative to hyperscaler lock-in for AI agent workloads.
◆ Blair Hayes
Trust & Security
A CVSS 9.8 vulnerability in the bare-metal lifecycle management tool used by NVIDIA Cloud Partners allows unauthenticated remote access to the control plane of multi-tenant AI clusters.
◆ Heath Callahan
Money & Markets
The GENIUS Act bars stablecoin issuers from paying yield to holders. That has not stopped them from generating billions – it just changed who gets paid.
◆ Nolan Pratt
Commerce
In 15 days, Meta connected retail, travel, groceries, and payments to one agent. No unified liability framework exists, and 93% of merchants say the AI provider should pay when the agent gets it wrong.
◆ Tessa Vaughn
Policy
A taskforce, an intent gap, and a Safety Institute running on fumes. Australia's regulatory machinery is being stress-tested by an AI agent that breached its health portal.
◆ Priya Nair
Infrastructure
Meta's Muse Secure VM uses eBPF taint tracking, credential surrogation, and a host-side permission authority to contain agent failures at the operating system layer — a containment-first model that contrasts with the horizontal enterprise governance stack.

Agents at Home
Meta's first dedicated hardware surface for a personal AI agent is a keychain-sized gadget with cameras, mics, and a fingerprint sensor. The agent part comes later.
