When OpenAI launched Frontier in February, the announcement was framed as a platform for enterprise AI agents. What it actually signalled was a direct challenge to the revenue architecture that has underpinned the software industry for the better part of two decades. Frontier is designed to act as a semantic layer across an organisation’s existing systems, connecting […]
Europe’s factory floors have a new kind of colleague. BMW Group has deployed humanoid robots in manufacturing in Germany for the first time, launching a pilot project at its Leipzig plant with AEON–a wheeled humanoid built by Hexagon Robotics. It is the first automotive deployment of AEON anywhere in the world, and it marks something of a
