Plus: Microsoft rolls out security agents

Welcome back. AI voice assistants have always had one annoying habit: interrupting you mid-thought. OpenAI’s latest update to Advanced Voice Mode tries to fix that. Now, ChatGPT will wait if you pause to think, breathe, or just take a beat.

With startups like Sesame and giants like Amazon charging into the AI voice race, OpenAI is under pressure to make conversation with AI feel less...robotic. 🤖

Microsoft brings AI agents to cybersecurity

Microsoft Blog

Microsoft is rolling out 11 new AI agents to boost its Security Copilot suite, aiming to relieve pressure on overworked cybersecurity teams.

Why it matters: Only 83% of US cyber roles are filled, and teams face thousands of alerts daily.

What the agents do:

  • Each agent handles a specific task, like detecting phishing or drafting regulator notices after breaches.

  • Security teams can set how autonomous each agent is—including whether it acts independently or as an extension of a human.

  • A built-in “thinking map” lets users audit the AI’s decisions and correct mistakes.

The big picture: Cybersecurity has become one of the AI use cases with the most real-world urgency. Microsoft is betting that agents, not just copilots, can close the talent and time gap.

FuriosaAI tells Meta thanks but no thanks

Meta offered $800 million to acquire South Korean chip startup FuriosaAI. Furiosa walked away.

What happened: Disagreements over strategy and structure—not price—caused negotiations to fall apart. Furiosa is moving ahead with a $48M fundraising round and plans to launch its second chip this year.

Why it matters:

  • Meta wants to reduce reliance on Nvidia and build its own chip pipeline for training LLMs. Furiosa could have helped.

  • This deal would’ve secured Meta a strategic spot in the Asia-based AI chip race.

The big question: As giants like Meta build in-house hardware, will they dominate the future of AI—or will scrappy players like Furiosa hold the line?
