Google’s Open Knowledge Format makes AI-agent knowledge a free, vendor-neutral markdown standard. The same day it shipped, Google wired the format into the Knowledge Catalog it charges to run, and the spec leaves the paid serving layer out of scope. Openness, it turns out, is the strategy. — Read More

The Agentic Reckoning: Enterprise AI organizations have a runtime problem, not a model problem
In Q1 2026, VentureBeat’s Pulse Research surfaced the “Governance Mirage”: the gap between the governance org charts enterprises had drawn and the control layers they had actually built. Forty-three percent said a central team owned AI governance; 23% couldn’t agree on who owned it at all; and 31% named vendor opacity as the single biggest obstacle.
This new wave of research asks the next question: Once you’ve admitted the governance problem, what breaks first when you try to fix it? The answer from our respondents is unambiguous. The failure point is not the model. It’s the runtime. — Read More
ChatGPT’s market share slips below 50% for first time
More than three and a half years after ChatGPT’s initial release, AI assistants are now used by millions of people worldwide, and the competitive landscape is changing fast. While OpenAI’s chatbot is still the most popular assistant globally, its market share has dipped below 50% for the first time as users are migrating between different assistants like Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, and xAI’s Grok, according to analytics firm Sensor Tower’s State of AI Report for 2026.
ChatGPT’s growth has been impressive. It became the fastest app ever to reach 1 billion monthly users, as Sensor Tower reported this month. Notably, OpenAI counts weekly active users, and it last reported 900 million of them in February. The chatbot still remains the most popular AI assistant worldwide with over 1.1 billion monthly users, followed by Gemini with 662 million and Claude with 245 million. — Read More
GLM-5.2: Built for Long-Horizon Tasks
GLM-5.2 is Chinese AI lab Z AI’s latest flagship model for long-horizon tasks.
Supporting long-horizon tasks starts with making long context engineering-usable: the model must maintain quality across long, messy coding-agent trajectories, not just accept more tokens. A 1M context is easy to claim, but much harder to keep reliable under real engineering pressure. To this end, we substantially expanded 1M-context training for coding-agent scenarios, covering large-scale implementation, automated research, performance optimization, and complex debugging. The result is a long-context system that is not only wide in scope, but solid in execution: a practical substrate for sustained engineering work. — Read More
