Bitget, the world’s leading Universal Exchange (UEX), has published its Web3 Next-Gen Talent Intelligence Report, revealing that hiring obstacles—rather than a shortage of skilled individuals—represent one of the sector’s most significant workforce issues. Carried out as part of Bitget’s Blockchain4Youth (B4Y) program, the research gathered insights from aspiring and early-career professionals across various regions. It found that although Web3 continues to draw highly qualified individuals, many candidates still struggle to land their first position. Over 54% of those surveyed pointed to experience requirements for entry-level roles as the primary barrier to breaking into the industry, while 52% noted that their…

Cybersecurity was once viewed mainly as a technical task handled quietly behind the scenes by IT departments, rarely discussed beyond internal teams. That mindset has shifted dramatically in recent years. Today, the Cyber Security market is a top priority across industries—and a regular topic at the executive and boardroom level. From emerging startups to established global enterprises, organizations are now taking a strategic, deliberate approach to safeguarding their digital assets, infrastructure, and brand reputation. While the rapid growth of this sector stands out, what’s even more significant is the evolution of threat landscapes and how businesses are adapting. Instead of…

2026 marks the year agent harnesses move into real-world production. The software layer that manages how models interact with external systems — harnesses such as Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi, and Project Think — has evolved to the point where organizations are deploying agents as dependable, production-grade infrastructure rather than experimental demos.However, creating agents that hold up under production demands is no simple task.We discovered this through direct experience while building Project Think as our own first-party agent harness. As we collaborated with customers to run agents in live environments, we encountered a recurring set of distributed systems challenges that…

Written by Marc Kavinsky, Lead Editor at IoT Business News. Digital Matter has launched the Griffin Air, a durable GPS tracking device built specifically for air freight and international supply chains. It features automatic in-flight cellular controls, runs on AA batteries for multiple years, and has received approvals from over 40 airlines. Tracking IoT assets in air freight remains one of the toughest challenges. The connectivity issue shifts as cargo moves through different stages. A device that performs well on a delivery truck or inside a warehouse can’t simply continue sending data once it’s placed in an aircraft’s cargo compartment.…

Most biology benchmarks focus on narrow, fact-based questions with clear-cut answers. In reality, scientists evaluate uncertain evidence and make judgment calls. OpenAI’s LifeSciBench was designed to address this gap. Even the top-performing model succeeds at only about one in three tasks. The benchmark is nowhere near solved. What is LifeSciBench LifeSciBench features 750 tasks crafted by domain experts. These span seven research workflows and seven areas of biology. Every task includes a prompt, supporting materials, and a detailed grading rubric. The seven workflows encompass evidence evaluation and analysis, as well as design and optimization, scientific reasoning, validation and operations, translation,…

The skies are busier than ever. Even as costs climb, people continue to fly at record levels. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the global trade body for airlines, the world’s airlines are expected to carry more than 5.2 billion passengers across 40.3 million flights by 2026. That represents a 50 percent jump in passenger numbers and a 37 percent increase in flights compared to 2022. For aerospace original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their supply chain partners, this trend brings both opportunities and challenges. While surging sales are certainly a welcome development, the mounting pressure to produce more…

In my earlier post, I outlined four key innovations that make ORPilot a production-ready, open-source tool for using large language models in operations research (OR): the interview agent, data collection agent, parameter computation agent, and intermediate representation (IR). Of these, the IR stands out as the most critical—it’s what elevates ORPilot beyond a mere academic prototype and gives it real potential as a production-grade solution. Why? Because it directly addresses two top priorities in any production setting: reproducibility and portability. In this post, I’ll take a detailed look at how ORPilot’s IR is structured. What Exactly Is an IR? When…

Long before bitcoin came into existence, Ricardo Salinas Pliego was already absorbing lessons about sound money during family dinners at home. Born in Mexico City in 1955, Salinas is the founder and chairman of Grupo Salinas, a sprawling conglomerate with businesses spanning telecommunications, media, financial services, and retail. In 1987, he succeeded his father as CEO of Grupo Elektra — a company originally established in 1906 by his great-grandfather as a furniture manufacturer — and pivoted its focus toward appliances, electronics, and consumer credit aimed at Mexico’s growing middle class. Today, his business empire encompasses Banco Azteca, TV Azteca, and…

A French-speaking hacker infiltrated a small French automotive company, deployed a keylogger, and made off with banking and email login details. Nothing unusual there — until one particular step near the end of the attack changed everything. Just before his command-and-control server was shut down, he installed OpenSSH and Tailscale on a compromised machine, creating an alternative access route that bypassed the C2 entirely. When the Havoc server went offline the following day, his connection to the victim’s system remained intact. Eighteen days later, when the C2 came back online, his agents reconnected on their own, and he simply picked…

The Senate Armed Services Committee has moved forward with a bill that would create a grant program to help small businesses and nontraditional contractors cover the costs of complying with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). This grant program is part of the committee’s full fiscal 2027 defense authorization bill, which was released on Tuesday. The committee had already approved the bill during a closed-door markup session on June 10. If the bill becomes law, the Department of Defense (DoD) would be required to launch the CMMC grant program by July 1, 2027. Starting this November, DoD is expanding its…
