Intelligence at the edge of what's next.
Our current thesis
Frontier continuously separates meaningful structural change from the noise around it. These are the shifts we think technology leaders should understand now.
Agents are moving from isolated productivity experiments into the connective tissue of enterprise work.
Latest coverage
Our latest coverage of the developments reshaping enterprise technology — what changed, why it matters, and what leaders should do next.
ServiceNow has formed an 11-member alliance with OpenAI, Stripe, AWS and other infrastructure and security vendors, signaling a larger shift from governing individual AI products to controlling heterogeneous AI estates through shared qualification, integration, policy and cost-management layers.
Read coverageFortanix says its CNCF Confidential Containers integration is available now, making hardware attestation a condition of decrypting sensitive Kubernetes AI workloads. The CIO story is much bigger—and Cisco’s public-preview, single-node validation makes production discipline essential.
Read coverageOpenAI’s specialized GPT-5.6 Cyber model is now available to eligible Amazon Bedrock customers in AWS GovCloud (US-East), marking a larger shift toward deploying dual-use AI through approval-gated cloud infrastructure where identity, monitoring, operator access and retention terms become architectural controls.
