Formal verification has long been the gold standard for software correctness. It has also been too expensive for almost everyone. New research from Anthropic suggests that’s changing. Anthropic’s Frontier Red Team, working with formal methods company Theorem, used Claude to prove security properties in the compiled code of 123 open-source libraries from Google’s OSS-Fuzz project. […] [...]
Cisco has released its Splunk State of Observability 2026 report, revealing that companies face growing costs and operational challenges as they deploy AI agents without sufficient monitoring capabilities. The report found that 57% of organizations spend more on telemetry, the data used to monitor IT systems, than on the infrastructure being monitored. Additionally, 55% of […] [...]
Traditional monitoring can show an LLM-powered application as healthy even when it delivers incorrect answers. Drawing on experience at Varo Bank, this article explains why AI observability must go beyond the four golden signals and how automated evaluation, groundedness checks and CI pipelines can catch silent failures before they reach customers.
