The program is aimed at individuals in the pre-idea to pre-seed stage and offers mentoring, access to tools and models, and in-person workshops. Grove's first cohort will run from Oct. 20 to Nov. 21,.. read more  

Microsoft and academic researchers want to give AI models a new kind of home: theAI Model Virtual Machine (MVM). Think of it like theJVM, but for LLMs—an interface layer that standardizes how models plug into host software. The MVM enforcessecurity,isolation, andtool-calling rules, while also unloc.. read more  

A zero-click exploit is making the rounds—nasty stuff targeting agentic IDEs likeCursor. The trick? Slip a malicious Google Doc into the system. If MCP integration and allow-listedPython executionare on, the document gets auto-pulled, parsed, and runs code. No clicks. No prompts. Justremote code exe.. read more  

Anthropic’s sharpening the blueprint for building tools that play nice withLLM agents. TheirModel Context Protocol (MCP)leans hard into three pillars: test in loops, design for humans, format like context matters—because it does. They co-develop tools with agents like Claude Code. That means protot.. read more
