New platform capabilities are on display at the NetBox Evolve conference, where NetBox Labs also announced partnerships with Nvidia and Grafana Labs.

When the internet's domain system started back in 1985, there were only a few primary TLDs: .com, .net, .org, .edu, .gov and .mil. The number of TLDs grew in small fits and spurts until 2012, when 1,241 new gTLDs were added. The internet has changed over the last 14 years, and now ICANN is opening up the process for the next round of new gTLD, which could bring 1,600 new names to the internet.

Upscale stitches silicon, systems, and software together with its new Token Fabric offering. The architecture combines the company's own SkyFabriX scale-up silicon, scale-out systems built on Nvidia Spectrum-X Ethernet, and a common software layer for operations.

Stacklet's early-preview Token Custodian brings policy controls to AI spending, raising a question for CIOs: Who decides which work gets access to more expensive AI models?

Nearly twice as many companies now name live-system queries as their AI agents' main context source. OpenAI, Keewano and Snowflake supply the missing context differently.

Executives present a unique security vulnerability. White-glove security training provides personalized strategies against impersonation, deepfake and spear phishing attacks.

Cohere is going after two common enterprise agent problems with North 2, the new version of its enterprise agent platform. It adds user quotas, rate limits, organization-wide caps and a redesigned agent harness. According to Cohere, North 2 uses memory to keep an agent's context across sessions and gives teams a shared library of knowledge and assets to draw on. It also runs in the cloud, on premises or fully air-gapped.

One title, many jobs: CISOs at Fastly, SolarWinds, DeVry and other organizations reveal how industry shapes their responsibilities and priorities.

Security and IT leaders say the AI extinction headlines are reshaping the conversation more than the controls.

New Selector Foundry runtime environment lets network operations teams build, test, version, and govern their own AI agents inside the company's NetOps platform.

AI agents stand in for users and reach multiple systems. Governing their access requires distinct identities, scoped authority and records that show who authorized each action.

AI extinction concerns are growing among experts, but for enterprises, the focus should be on governance, accountability and risk management to prevent operational failures.

A failed Senate cloture vote stalled the CLARITY Act, leaving CIOs to make digital-asset vendor, custody and contract decisions without a broader market-structure framework.

Cohere plans on making the full serving stack used in Model Vault open source so that independent auditors will be able to validate that it doesn't log, export, or leak data.

KeewanoDB gives every user, device and agent its own table, so AI agents can read event history in sequence instead of rebuilding it at query time.

Cornelis takes aim at AI bottlenecks with programmable network fabric.

Work on 1.6 terabit network connectivity began in 2020 and became a formal IEEE study group in 2021, before AI was the industry's dominant discussion point. That work became the IEEE P802.3dj Task Force, which has been building out the specifications that are now in the balloting and formal review process before finalization, which could happen later this year.

OpenAI's new Data agent for ChatGPT Work has no published benchmark, while rival Databricks released one the same week — a gap enterprise buyers should weigh.

Databricks' Adaptive Instructed-Retriever lets AI agents decide how many times to search per question, matching frontier model quality in half the time.

GitHub's new HydraFusion router cuts AI coding costs in every benchmark tested, but its own data shows quality holding up in only one of three tests.
