Partners like Akamai, ASUS, and Supermicro are building platforms for enterprise-scale agentic AI.

Check Point and NVIDIA Team Up for AI Factory Security

Check Point and NVIDIA are collaborating to secure AI factories and infrastructure. They will integrate Check Point's AI Factory Firewall with NVIDIA's BlueField and DOCA architectures. This partnership aims to protect distributed AI infrastructure environments, Kubernetes-based AI deployments, and private LLM environments.

AIC Partners with NVIDIA to Accelerate AI Infrastructure

AIC, a leading provider of enterprise storage and server infrastructure, is collaborating with NVIDIA as an ecosystem partner to integrate the NVIDIA Vera BlueField-4 STX Storage Processor into its AI storage and server platforms. This joint solution targets AI factories, large-scale data centers, and enterprise AI deployment scenarios.

DDN Advances Secure AI Factories with AI-Native Data Intelligence

DDN is advancing secure AI factories with its AI-native data intelligence infrastructure, which combines high-performance data orchestration, governance, multi-tenant isolation, and real-time AI data services. This platform is designed to align with NVIDIA DOCA's agentless, inline security model and improve GPU utilization and enterprise AI deployment timelines.

NVIDIA DOCA In-Silicon Security for Agentic AI

NVIDIA's DOCA in-silicon security provides a new class of infrastructure for agentic AI, offering distributed, full-stack, and accelerated security. This architecture fundamentally changes the traditional security model by offloading security processing to the BlueField silicon, delivering resilient and full-stack protection without consuming host computing resources.

MiniMax Releases MiniMax M3, a Competitive Open-Weight Model

MiniMax released its MiniMax M3 model, which is competitive with frontier models on many benchmarks. M3 offers frontier-level coding and agentic performance, native multimodality, and a 1M-token context window. It is available via API and pricing starts at $0.60 per million input tokens.

MiniMax M3 Offers MSA Architecture and Agentic Coding

MiniMax M3 features the MiniMax Sparse Attention (MSA) architecture, supporting a 1M-token context window and native multimodality. It is available via MiniMax Code, MiniMax Token Plan, and MiniMax API.

Developers Use AI to Bypass Apple M5 Defenses

Researchers used AI tool Mythos Preview to bypass Apple's M5 chip defenses in days, creating a working macOS kernel exploit against Apple's M5 chip protections in less than a week. This raises concerns about how quickly AI could accelerate vulnerability discovery.

SAFE Launches AI Security Posture Management Platform

SAFE launched its AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) platform, which provides real-time visibility into AI-related exposure across various areas. The platform uses AI agents to automate monitoring, governance workflows, and remediation processes.
