Arcjet Launches Runtime Security Product for Production AI Agents

San Francisco – – September 19, 2026 -- Arcjet has launched agent runtime security, a new product designed to give engineering and security teams visibility and control over AI agents operating inside production systems. The platform targets agents that read and write to databases, process refunds, call APIs, and take autonomous actions across multiple systems on behalf of users.

Arcjet builds its product around three functions: observe, enforce, and audit

The observe layer lets teams ingest agent activity without changing application code, using existing OpenTelemetry tooling or, for Claude users, the Claude Compliance API. Arcjet connects actions across sessions into a single workflow view, capturing prompts, tool call parameters, session metadata, identity, and security decisions, and maintains an inventory of agents and applications running in a given environment.

PrismML's Bonsai 2 27B Cuts AI Memory Use 9x, Keeps 98% Accuracy

Pasadena, Calif. – September 19, 2026 -- PrismML has released Bonsai 2 27B, a ternary-compressed version of a 27-billion-parameter multimodal model that runs at just 5.9 GB while retaining 98.2% of its full-precision counterpart's benchmark performance.

Ternary compression shrinks memory footprint by more than 9x

Built on Qwen3.8 27B, Bonsai 2 27B reduces the model's memory requirement to 5.9 GB, a reduction of over nine times compared with the full-precision original. The model contains 27.8 billion parameters and was trained using Google v5 TPUs.

Delta Electronics Speeds NVIDIA DSX AI Factory Rollouts with 800 VDC Tech

WiMi Unveils Reinforcement Learning Framework for Quantum Encoding Circuits

Beijing – September 19, 2026 -- WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WiMi) has developed a reinforcement learning-based framework to automate the design of quantum encoding circuits, aiming to cut the resource costs and inefficiencies that have limited quantum machine learning (QML) model performance.

WiMi replaces manual circuit design with automated search architecture

The new scheme uses reinforcement learning to generate task-specific encoding circuit architectures automatically, moving away from the heuristic, manually designed approaches that have dominated QML development. WiMi states the framework targets three persistent industry problems: poor task adaptability, low search efficiency, and insufficient handling of multiple design objectives simultaneously.
