Tomorrow, First. News and intelligence for the agentic economy

  • Human-in-the-loop (HITL)

    Human-in-the-loop (HITL) is an oversight pattern where humans review, approve, or intervene in AI decisions. Learn how HITL works, when it is required, and its tradeoffs.

  • Fine-tuning

    Fine-tuning adapts a pre-trained language model for specific tasks using methods like SFT, LoRA, and RLHF. Learn when to fine-tune, costs, risks, and the 2026 recommended workflow.

  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

    Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is an architecture pattern that enhances a large language model’s responses by first retrieving relevant information from external knowledge sources—such as documents, databases, or APIs—and then feeding that retrieved context into the model alongside the user’s query. Rather than relying solely on what the model memorized during pre-training, RAG lets it look…

  • What Is Agentic Commerce?

    Agentic commerce is online shopping where AI agents handle discovery, evaluation, negotiation, and payment on the user’s behalf. Here is how the flow works, which protocols power it, and what changed in 2026.

  • EU AI Act

    The EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) is the world’s first comprehensive AI law. Learn about its risk-based framework, enforcement timeline, penalties up to €35M, and what it means for companies worldwide.

  • Hallucination

    An AI hallucination occurs when a generative AI model produces outputs that sound plausible and authoritative but are factually incorrect, irrelevant, or entirely fabricated—presenting them with the same confidence as accurate information.

  • a16z Leads Runta Seed to Rebuild the Compute Stack Agents Actually Need

    Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) has officially led the seed round for Runta, a startup focused on building a new execution layer for AI agents. According to an a16z blog post published on July 16, 2026, by Martin Casado, Yoko Li, and Guido Appenzeller, the firm has maintained a relationship with Runta CEO Guanlan for nearly a…

  • GPT-5.6 in Production: Every Agent Inherited Autonomous Exploitation

    The release of GPT-5.6 on July 9 alters the threat model for production stacks utilizing CrewAI, AutoGen, LangGraph, and OpenClaw. This model introduces autonomous vulnerability discovery as a default, inherited capability. Engineering teams deploying agents on this architecture must account for this shift, as the model’s capacity for exploitation persists regardless of system prompts or…
