OpenAI launched DeployCo, a $4 billion joint venture providing forward‑deployed engineers for enterprise AI transformation. Anthropic and OpenAI warned secondary‑market tokens tied to private stock can be void and may prompt legal disputes. Thinking Machines unveiled interaction models processing continuous audio‑visual micro‑turns alongside a background reasoning model, unlocking real‑time translation, proactive visual cues, and new human‑AI collaboration paradigms.

Introducing WinUI agent plugin: Build WinUI apps with AI agents by Windows Developer
Wednesday May 13^th, 2026 at 2:46 PM

Windows Developer

We’re excited to share agent skills designed to efficiently build native Windows apps with WinUI and the Windows App SDK with agents such as GitHub Copilot and Claude Code.

These skills enable your agent to take your ideas to a native Windows app in minutes! They are built around the end-to-end loop: scaffold, build, run, test, iterate. They’ve been optimized to know how to drive each stage, recognize common failures that get normal agents stuck in loops, and steer towards successful patterns, while also minimizing the number of tokens used by your agent. We hope to continually improve this experience and outcomes as we gather more feedback and examples from our developer community!

EP277: CISO as CFO, From Citi to Celery, It's All about the Cabbage by Anton A Chuvakin
Wednesday May 13^th, 2026 at 2:45 PM

Cloud Security Podcast by Google

Guest:

Arvin Bansal, CISO, C&S Wholesale Grocers

Topics:

Most people do not associate grocery wholesale and retail with cutting edge technology and threat models. Can you produce the receipts for why this isn't a story of dry goods but rather a very meaty topic with beefy adversaries?
How are you as the CISO enabling C&S's journey into AI and LLM driven work? Securing AI is a bit harder than securing classic analytics tools, right?
In addition to securely rolling out AI, how is your defense team using AI to secure C&S? Are you into the era of agentic triage and response? What metrics for AI is your D&R lead surfacing up to you?
You have AI in the business process that - if failed - will leave people hungry. How do you approach AI resilience?
How do you approach resilience in general? Is cloud part of your resilience strategy?
You worked at Citigroup for a long time. What's it like having grocery margin budgets for security instead? How does your thinking change? Does this shift your build/buy/outsource for security?
If your IoT stack falls over, you've got literal ice cream melting in a warehouse. How do you balance your investments in cyber risk with physical operational risk? Should I be scared of forklifts?

146: The Best EV Cruiser to Replace a Toyota Avalon for Under $25k by Batteries Included
Wednesday May 13^th, 2026 at 2:45 PM

Batteries Included

Battery Bargains is back! It's been some time, but we are back to help you shortcut the search for your perfect electric vehicle.

In Episode 55, we’re hunting down incredible value in the used market and answering your specific EV buying questions:

The Avalon Successor: What do you buy when your 2004 Toyota Avalon finally reaches the end of the road? We find a "basically new" electric cruiser with 300+ miles of range and ultra-fast charging for under $25,000.

Tesla Software Alternatives: A Mustang Mach-E owner loves their car but misses the Tesla tech. We look at the best software-forward alternatives available for under $30k.

The Kia EV9 "Lemon" Gamble: Used EV9 prices are dropping fast, especially for manufacturer buybacks. We discuss the risks of the ICCU issue, warranty transfers, and whether these "lemons" are actually the best deal on the market.

Have a request? Email us your needs and budget, and you might be featured in a future episode!
