Google goes cash flow negative for the first time as AI data center buildout increases capex to a staggering $44.9 billion in a single quarter — CFO warns that capex will increase in 2027 as company banks big on TPUs

On the same day, CFO Anat Ashkenazi raised full-year capex guidance to between $195 billion and $205 billion.

Why it matters

AI infrastructure capacity and cost are becoming core constraints for labs and enterprises scaling real workloads.

Microsoft’s first cybersecurity model powers new Project Perception agents

Microsoft Corp. today introduced its first in-house cybersecurity model, MAI-Cyber-1-Flash, and a companion agentic system called Project Perception that fields teams of artificial intelligence agents to probe for weaknesses, investigate threats and remediate them, starting with software vulnerability management.

Microsoft built an agentic security system with red, blue, and green team AI agents. It enters public preview August 3.

Microsoft announced Project Perception on Monday, an agentic security system that coordinates three classes of AI agents in a continuous loop: red team agents that find vulnerabilities before attackers do, blue team agents that investigate and assess which risks are meaningful, and green team agents that fix...

Quick takes

Frontier model lineups keep expanding as Anthropic ships Claude Opus 5 for long-running agents and coding while Google adds Gemini 3.6 Flash plus lighter Flash variants.
Models
Enterprise AI is shifting from chat pilots to operational agents, with OpenAI Presence targeting trusted voice and chat workflows and NTT DATA cutting incident analysis to 30 minutes via Codex.
Models
Open-weight policy is splitting the stack: Anthropic stresses Chinese AI risk while Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, and peers urge governments against broad open-weight restrictions.
Models
Agent-security fallout from the OpenAI Hugging Face breach is pushing open defensive tooling alliances among Nvidia, Microsoft, and SpaceX even as some frontier labs stay outside.
Models
Physical AI infrastructure is compounding through open robot-manipulation capture, 4-bit diffusion inference in Diffusers, and real-time generative simulation for surgical robotics.
Chips
Coding agents are productizing as platforms, with GitHub standardizing Copilot harness workflows and Cursor deepening India pricing, hiring, and enterprise sales as a top global market.
Models
Systems integrators are industrializing frontier-model delivery, as Cognizant embeds Claude across platforms, trains 30,000-plus associates, and joins Anthropic's Global Premier Partner tier.
Models
Frontier labs are shipping denser model slates at once, with Anthropic's Opus 5 aimed at long-running agents and Google releasing multiple Gemini Flash variants for speed-tier workloads.
