AI is rapidly reshaping how software gets built. As part of the Massachusetts AI Coalition, Jellyfish is hosting a focused discussion on 2/24 on agentic coding and the real impact AI tools are having on engineering teams today. This conversation is designed for leaders thinking about: • How autonomous development changes productivity and accountability • What AI contribution actually looks like across teams • Where agentic workflows are delivering measurable business impact If you’re a CTO, VP Engineering, product leader, or operator navigating AI adoption, this will be a high-signal session with practitioners who are actively building and shipping. Boston continues to be a center of gravity for AI innovation. We’re excited to bring the community together for a thoughtful, practical conversation. Details and RSVP here: https://luma.com/m82gjiqy

Always amazing content from Euclid Ventures - reflective of what's currently happening to tech stocks. Who Gets to Eat The enterprise technology landscape is currently navigating a structural transformation that rivals the shift from on-premise servers to cloud computing. For nearly two decades, the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model — predicated on recurring revenue, seat-based licensing, and user engagement as a proxy for value — has served as the bedrock of the technology economy. It created trillions of dollars in market capitalization by enabling human productivity. Today, LLM-era AI — and the consequent rise of agentic workflows — might be dismantling the economic logic that has underpinned SaaS for decades. https://lnkd.in/grNfXNez

Recent innovation by UM-Labs R&D has lead to Unicus Core and Unicus EDGE solving the huge cyber risk attached to the #EDGE and #IOT data in transit across all IP networking. Now having secured for developers in the #XR space (https://lnkd.in/ez_BJrGa ), especially when building #DigitalTwin apps using #OpenUSD, the collaboration between a IP digital backbone will now have secure in design through devs and run time use of a simple API that will create umbrella services along with devices system on a chip for multi-layer PIA (protect, intercept, archive) policy by design. #finance #energy #oilandgasindustry #transport #health #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #cisa #ncsc #techuk #ads #bcs #drones #cctv #industrialcontrols #weaponsensors #bodycam #snitch the global discovery dB with over 6 billion IP fraud attacks and using LEM-AI against 10 years of verified data is allowing the Unicus inference engine to predict and proactive automatically new attacks. www.um-labs.com

In MSFT CEO Satya Nadella's keynote comments on 3/4, he framed Copilot’s differentiation as emerging from compounding enterprise context within the Microsoft ecosystem rather than any single model or user interface. WorkIQ, the data layer beneath M365, is critical to enabling Copilot to reason statefully across years of meetings, documents, emails, and workflows instead of functioning as a standalone chat experience. As this context deepens over time, it creates what Microsoft describes as "network effects of intelligence," increasing Copilot’s value as organizational data and activity accumulate. Critically, this capability is delivered within Microsoft’s established enterprise permissioning, security, compliance, and observability framework, which CIOs prioritize and which limits the applicability of more open, consumer oriented agent approaches like Openclaw in regulated environments. Microsoft further reinforces this position through distribution, embedding Copilot across Microsoft 365 and GitHub, while continuously optimizing model selection, tool usage, and routing to improve cost efficiency. Overall, MSFT positions Copilot not as a feature or interface, but as a system level platform that expands Microsoft’s TAM as agents proliferate across knowledge work.
