Meta's Muse Spark 1.1 API launched at $1.25/$4.25 per million tokens, about a quarter of OpenAI and Anthropic rates. The real monthly cost math against GPT-5.6 and Claude, plus when switching your agents makes sense.
India's NPCI is designing a Unified Agent Protocol so AI agents can be registered and authorised to make UPI payments, pending RBI approval. For fintech teams, prep starts now: identity, limits and logs.
The 2026-07-28 MCP revision removes the initialize handshake and the protocol-level session, so any instance can serve any request. The maintainers say nothing switches off on 28 July.
Four vendors rebuilt their agent runtimes around the session in 2026, and they agree on routing but disagree on the compute primitive underneath. A comparison of AWS AgentCore, Azure AI Foundry, Google Agent Engine
LangChain's June 2026 survey of 1,340 practitioners found 89% run observability but only 52.4% run offline evals. Here is the four-gate CI setup that closes the gap.
Three vendors now sell an agent that takes a task and returns a finished document. They bill in three incompatible ways, and independent research says reliability still trails capability.
Agents do not crash. They return a confident, plausible, wrong answer, and nothing goes red. Gartner expects over 40% of agentic AI projects to be cancelled by the end of 2027. Here is what to instrument, what to score
MCP's 2026-07-28 spec is the largest revision since launch and it breaks things: the initialize handshake and Mcp-Session-Id are gone. Three ways to expose legacy systems to AI agents, and what each actually costs.
Eleven CVEs landed against Model Context Protocol implementations in April 2026, and Anthropic called the underlying STDIO behaviour expected. Here is what that means for anyone running MCP servers in production
On July 2, 2026, Mark Zuckerberg told Meta staff that AI agent progress had not accelerated as executives expected, after 8,000 layoffs and up to $145 billion of 2026 capex. Gartner puts agent pilot failure at 89%. Six
At Google Cloud Next '26, Vertex AI became the Gemini Enterprise agent platform. With 96% of firms running AI agents but only 12% able to govern them, here is what it changes and how it compares to Microsoft and AWS.
Meta shipped Muse Spark 1.1 on July 9, 2026, a 1M-token agentic model priced at a quarter of rival rates. It leads on tool use but trails on raw coding. What that means for how dev teams route work.
AI resolves support tickets at roughly $0.62 versus $7.40 for a human agent, and D2C brands regularly deflect 70-80% of contacts. Here is when to buy an off-the-shelf agent, when to build custom, and how eCorpIT ships
Enterprises are deploying AI agents fast, but 88% had an agent-related breach last year and only 21% have mature governance. eCorpIT's AI agent security service closes that gap with assessment, red teaming, guardrails
CVE-2025-3248 gave unauthenticated attackers code execution on Langflow, and it was not the last. How to harden Langflow, Flowise, and n8n: patching, network isolation, gateway auth, secrets, and sandboxing for AI
Google's Lighthouse 13.3 added an agentic browsing category on May 7, 2026, checking llms.txt, the WebMCP protocol, the accessibility tree and layout stability. Seven fixes to make your site AI-agent ready.
Unit 42 found AI accelerated attacks 4x in 2026, with the fastest intrusions reaching data in 72 minutes and identity behind nearly 90% of breaches. Here is what changed and how CTOs and security leaders should respond.
The majority of enterprise AI agent pilots never reach production, and Gartner expects over 40% cancelled by 2027, mostly for cost and governance reasons, not model quality. Here is how eCorpIT builds agents that ship
Microsoft's Service Agent reached general availability on 30 June 2026, with Sales Agent alongside. Here is what the Dynamics 365 and Copilot agents do, what they cost, and when to build instead.
Most AI agent projects fail on value, security and cost, not on the model. Here are five engineering lessons CTOs learn the hard way in 2026, backed by Gartner, MIT and OWASP data, from scoping ROI to controlling token
Building production AI agents taught three lessons the hard way: reliability comes from architecture, the model layer is a commodity you will swap, and evaluation is most of the work. Apple's third-generation Foundation
