Google Introduces Agentic Vision in Gemini 3 Flash for Active Image Understanding
Frontier multimodal models usually process an image in a single pass. If they miss a serial number on a chip or a small symbol on a building plan, they often guess. Google’s new Agentic Vision capability in Gemini 3 Flash changes this by turning image understanding into an active, tool using loop grounded in visual…

A Coding Implementation to Train Safety-Critical Reinforcement Learning Agents Offline Using Conservative Q-Learning with d3rlpy and Fixed Historical Data
In this tutorial, we build a safety-critical reinforcement learning pipeline that learns entirely from fixed, offline data rather than live exploration. We design a custom environment, generate a behavior dataset from a constrained policy, and then train both a Behavior Cloning baseline and a Conservative Q-Learning agent using d3rlpy. By structuring the workflow around offline…

Qwen Team Releases Qwen3-Coder-Next: An Open-Weight Language Model Designed Specifically for Coding Agents and Local Development
Qwen team has just released Qwen3-Coder-Next, an open-weight language model designed for coding agents and local development. It sits on top of the Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B backbone. The model uses a sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture with hybrid attention. It has 80B total parameters, but only 3B parameters are activated per token. The goal is to match the…

How to Build Advanced Quantum Algorithms Using Qrisp with Grover Search, Quantum Phase Estimation, and QAOA
In this tutorial, we present an advanced, hands-on tutorial that demonstrates how we use Qrisp to build and execute non-trivial quantum algorithms. We walk through core Qrisp abstractions for quantum data, construct entangled states, and then progressively implement Grover’s search with automatic uncomputation, Quantum Phase Estimation, and a full QAOA workflow for the MaxCut problem….

AI Expo 2026 Day 1: Governance and data readiness enable the agentic enterprise
While the prospect of AI acting as a digital co-worker dominated the day one agenda at the co-located AI & Big Data Expo and Intelligent Automation Conference, the technical sessions focused on the infrastructure to make it work. A primary topic on the exhibition floor was the progression from passive automation to “agentic” systems. These…

Combing the Rackspace blogfiles for operational AI pointers
In a recent blog output, Rackspace refers to the bottlenecks familiar to many readers: messy data, unclear ownership, governance gaps, and the cost of running models once they become part of production. The company frames them through the lens of service delivery, security operations, and cloud modernisation, which tells you where it is putting its…

Why Operational Threat Intelligence Needs AI Agents Now, Not Later
Operational threat intelligence depends on AI Agents to reduce noise, accelerate response, and enable real-time, coordinated defense. Cybersecurity is at a tipping point. Attackers are leveraging AI to scale reconnaissance and increase the sophistication of attacks at speeds that far outpace human analysts. Meanwhile, even the most experienced teams are still manually extracting indicators, correlating…
