Tomorrow, First. News and intelligence for the agentic economy

  • Natural Language Processing (NLP)

    Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the field of AI focused on enabling machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language, from rule-based systems to modern LLMs.

  • Agent Infrastructure

    Agent infrastructure is the production platform layer that provisions, manages, secures, and monitors AI agents once they move beyond prototype. It supplies persistent context and state, executes agent steps and tool calls, connects models to enterprise systems, and continuously controls, monitors, and audits agent actions.

  • MLOps: Machine Learning Operations Explained

    MLOps (Machine Learning Operations) is a set of practices that unifies ML development and operations through automation, monitoring, and governance across the full model lifecycle.

  • Gradient descent

    Gradient descent is a first-order iterative optimization algorithm that minimizes a loss function by iteratively adjusting model parameters in the direction of steepest descent. It is the mathematical engine that allows machine learning models to “learn” by systematically reducing the error between their predictions and actual results.

  • Machine Learning

    Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence where computer systems learn from data, identify patterns, and make decisions with limited explicit programming.

  • Neural networks

    Computational systems inspired by the structure of biological brains, made up of layers of interconnected nodes (artificial neurons) that process information by adjusting the strength of their connections based on data. They are the foundation of modern AI.

  • 99% of Payment Rails Already Work for AI Agents. The Real Fight Is Over Trust.

    “Probably 99% of the issuer processing systems out in the world could process an agentic payment,” says Paymentology CTO Tim Joslyn. The issue is not the plumbing; the global infrastructure for moving money is already mature and functional. Instead, the challenge lies in recognizing these transactions and implementing the necessary identity and trust frameworks. The…

  • What Are Zero-Knowledge Proofs? | Forkast Learn

    A cryptographic method where one party (the prover) demonstrates to another party (the verifier) that a statement is true without revealing any information beyond the validity of the statement itself. The verifier learns nothing about why the statement is true—only that it is.

  • Meta Considers $10 Billion Compute Lease to Anthropic in Strategic Pivot

    Meta Platforms is currently engaged in early-stage discussions to lease computing power to Anthropic, a potential agreement valued at up to $10 billion over a two-year term. According to reports from July 17, 2026, the proposal, initiated by Anthropic in June, outlines a structure involving monthly installments with provisions for early exit rights for both…

  • Swarm Intelligence

    What is Swarm Intelligence? Swarm Intelligence (often referred to as swarm AI, collective intelligence, or swarm optimization) describes a field of artificial intelligence where complex, intelligent behavior emerges from a group of simple agents. Swarm intelligence is a specific design philosophy within the broader field of multi-agent systems (MAS). While some multi-agent systems rely on…
