CrowdStrike is pushing deeper into AI security through new partnerships and product integrations. At Fal.Con Europe 2026, the company announced native AI security tools on Amazon Web Services, including the Falcon Guardian, which connects with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Guardrails to stop prompt injection and data leakage in AI workflows. A new Falcon sensor for Amazon ECS Managed Instances automatically deploys protection as cloud environments scale, removing the need for manual setup.
CoreWeave expanded its partnership with CrowdStrike on November 3, 2026, bringing CrowdStrike Falcon platform protection and 24/7 managed security to its cloud. The collaboration covers real-time protection, threat hunting, managed detection and response, and expert support for mission-critical AI workloads.
CrowdStrike also teamed up with Dell Technologies and NVIDIA to bundle security into the Dell AI Factory. Customers can now purchase Falcon Guardian, Falcon Cloud Security, and Falcon Next-Gen SIEM alongside Dell AI infrastructure. Dell's Managed Detection and Response service provides 24-hour monitoring, and the integration supports NVIDIA OpenShell secure runtime.
On the financial side, Super Micro Computer reported a fiscal first-quarter profit of $1.59 billion, or $1.75 a share, with revenue surging to $19.95 billion from $5.02 billion a year earlier, beating analyst expectations of $17.53 billion. The results reflect the strong demand for AI infrastructure.

ScienceCUA turns software docs into evolving skills
ScienceCUA is a new system that helps computer agents use scientific software by turning human manuals into executable skills. The framework first reads documentation to find tasks and creates reusable skills along with a reference library for commands and shortcuts. It then uses feedback from real-world attempts to fix errors and improve these skills over time without needing constant human help. Researchers created two new benchmarks called ScienceBoard-Verified and ScienceBoard-VE to test the system fairly and prevent data leaks. Tests show that the initial skills improved task success rates by up to 7.23 percentage points compared to basic models. The self-evolution feature added another 9.89 percentage points, bringing the total gain to as much as 17.12 percentage points over the baseline.
