Imagine asking your AI model, “What’s the weather in Tokyo right now?” and instead of hallucinating an answer, it calls your actual Python function, fetches live data, and responds correctly. That’s how empowering the tool call functions in the Gemma 4 from Google are. A truly exciting addition to open-weight AI: this function calling is […]

Emissions understated by factor of five in Essex plans for tech giant, while Greystoke’s Lincolnshire plans show similar error
Developers working for Google have significantly misstated how much carbon two proposed AI datacentres will contribute to the UK’s total emissions in planning documents reviewed by the Guardian.
The tech company wants to build two huge datacentres – one 52-hectare (130 acre) project in Thurrock and another at an airfield in North Weald, both in Essex. To do so, developers are required to submit planning documents calculating how much carbon these projects will emit as a proportion of the UK’s total carbon footprint.

AI Library, an outcome-based software delivery startup founded in 2023 by Arani Chaudhuri, has raised $560,000 in pre-seed funding at a $7.5 million valuation cap to accelerate its AI agent-driven approach to enterprise software deployment. The company’s platform automates the software delivery lifecycle using AI agents with human oversight, targeting enterprise functions including finance, operations, […]
I counted at least 10 events in San Francisco last night aimed at matching AI startups with VCs. Just another Thursday.
But what made Camp AI’s “Agents at Work” event (hosted by Auth0) stand out was its showcase of companies that are in various stages of reorganizing their engineering processes around AI agents. Browserbase, Mastra, Fireworks AI, Drata, Mya, MindFort, and Corridor are all part of the vendor ecosystem trying to enable secure and performant agentic AI, but the most revelatory stories were their own successes and the challenges they faced restructuring their engineering orgs for agents.
Agentic AI is reshaping team structures
Paul Klein IV, founder and CEO of Browserbase, delivered the night’s most memorable line while discussing the speed of AI adoption inside engineering teams. “If AI is not doing your whole job it’s a skill issue at this point,” said Klein.
Abhi Aiyer, founder and CTO of Mastra, said the result is dramatically smaller teams capable of executing much l
I left Google ten days ago to found my own company. It's been quite a journey figuring out how things work outside of the mothership, and I'm genuinely excited to share what I've learned from both sides of the house...
As agents move past demos and into enterprise workflows, organizations are confronting the governance, infrastructure and operational problems posed by more autonomous AI systems.
