In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, the distance between a developer’s idea and a functioning agent has historically been measured in hours of configuration, dependency conflicts, and terminal-induced headaches. That friction point changed today. Kilo, the AI infrastructure startup backed by GitLab co-founder Sid Sijbrandij, has announced the general availability of KiloClaw, a fully managed service designed to deploy a production-ready OpenClaw agent in under 60 seconds. By eliminating the “SSH, Docker, and YAML” barriers that have gatekept high-end AI agents, Kilo is betting that the next phase of software development—often called “vibe coding”—will be defined not just by the quality of a model, but by the reliability of the infrastructure that hosts it. Technology: Re-engineering the agentic sandbox OpenClaw has emerged as a viral phenomenon, amassing over 161,000 GitHub stars by offering a capability that many proprietary tools lack: the ability to actually perform tasks—controlling browsers, managing files, and connecting to over 50 chat platforms like Telegram and Signal. However, as Kilo co-founder and CEO Scott Breitenother noted in an exclusive interview …
A Valar Atomics microreactor is seen on a C-17 aircraft, without nuclear fuel, at March Air Reserve Base, Calif., Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026. The reactor was transported from March Air Reserve Base to Hill Air Force Base in Utah. Matthew Daly/AP hide caption toggle caption Matthew Daly/AP HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah — The Pentagon and the Energy Department for the first time airlifted a small nuclear reactor from California to Utah, demonstrating what they say is U.S. potential to quickly deploy nuclear power for military and civilian use. The nearly 700-mile flight last weekend — which transported a 5-megawatt microreactor without nuclear fuel — highlights the Trump administration’s drive to promote nuclear energy to help meet skyrocketing demand for power from artificial intelligence and data centers, as well for use by the military. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Undersecretary of Defense Michael Duffey, who traveled with the privately built reactor, hailed the Feb. 15 trip on a C-17 military aircraft as a breakthrough for U.S. efforts to fast-track commercial licensing for the microreactors, part …
Agents built on top of today’s models often break with simple changes — a new library, a workflow modification — and require a human engineer to fix it. That’s one of the most persistent challenges in deploying AI for the enterprise: creating agents that can adapt to dynamic environments without constant hand-holding. While today’s models are powerful, they are largely static. To address this, researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara have developed Group-Evolving Agents (GEA), a new framework that enables groups of AI agents to evolve together, sharing experiences and reusing their innovations to autonomously improve over time. In experiments on complex coding and software engineering tasks, GEA substantially outperformed existing self-improving frameworks. Perhaps most notably for enterprise decision-makers, the system autonomously evolved agents that matched or exceeded the performance of frameworks painstakingly designed by human experts. The limitations of ‘lone wolf’ evolution Most existing agentic AI systems rely on fixed architectures designed by engineers. These systems often struggle to move beyond the capability boundaries imposed by their initial designs. To solve this, …
The UK will deploy a carrier strike group of warships to the Arctic this year, Keir Starmer has announced. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, the prime minister announced the move would be a demonstration of Britain’s commitment to its allies. He said: “I can announce today that the UK will deploy our carrier strike group to the North Atlantic and the High North this year, led by HMS Prince of Wales, operating alongside the US, Canada and other NATO allies in a powerful show of our commitment to Euro-Atlantic security.” It comes following US President Donald Trump’s assertion earlier this year that he wants to take over Greenland. Mr Trump has claimed he does not believe Denmark, of which Greenland is an autonomous territory, does enough to defend it from threats from Russia and China. Image: Sir Keir spoke strongly of a commitment to European security during his speech. The US later walked back from the threats – but the geopolitical climate still looks increasingly precarious. Russia is continuing to battle it …
HGP Intelligent Energy is partnering with the Shaw Group to deploy U.S. Navy submarine and aircraft carrier nuclear reactors at the DOE’s Paducah, Kentucky facility. Back in December, we covered their initial proposal to the U.S. government to utilize reactors from the Navy in an effort to find the quickest means of deploying new nuclear energy to support AI demand for government efforts like Project Genesis. The U.S. Navy has operated the most successful nuclear program in history with over 7,500 reactor years of safe operation. It is abundantly clear that if there is a way to bring their technology and operational success to other efforts and venues, these possibilities should be pursued. Shaw will be utilizing its previous experience with nuclear projects, including their involvement at Vogtle Units 3 and 4, to advance HGP’s CoreHeld Project through engineering, procurement, and fabrication services. Shaw’s potential scope of work includes “balance-of-plant module fabrication, piping systems, structural components, pressure vessels, and related nuclear-grade equipment.” The Paducah, Kentucky, site has been a hotspot of nuclear fuel chain activity over …
Back in December, the city of Detroit unveiled an 11-foot monument to the titular character in “RoboCop” — a 1987 Paul Verhoeven film depicting the motor city as a dystopian hellscape in no uncertain terms. Apparently, someone in city hall was taking notes. Now, according to local reporting, the Detroit suburb of Dearborn has launched a new “Drone as First Responder” initiative, a first-of-its-kind in the state of Michigan. Per Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin, the new drones are meant to “reduce uncertainty” for police or other first responders heading to investigate calls. Instead of waiting for a squad car to arrive, officers will now be able to dispatch a drone to scope out the scene, hovering over citizens in need like a high-tech vulture. “This program will enable us to assess situations almost instantly when someone calls for help,” Shahin said. “By supporting our officers in real-time as critical situations develop, it acts as a force multiplier, ensuring we cut down on response time, allocate resources appropriately, and provide robust service every time.” The …
Syrian forces move into the northeastern city, which was previously under the control of the Kurdish-led SDF. Published On 2 Feb 20262 Feb 2026 Click here to share on social media share2 Share The Syrian army has moved into the northeastern city of Hasakah, which was formerly under the control of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a first step towards implementing a US-backed ceasefire deal. A large convoy of trucks was seen entering the city on Monday hours after the SDF declared a curfew there. Recommended Stories list of 3 itemsend of list Syrian government forces were also expected to enter the cities of Kobane and Qamishli. The SDF reached a comprehensive agreement with the government on Friday to integrate with the Syrian army, after Kurdish-led forces ceded territory to advancing government troops in recent weeks after months of tensions and sporadic clashes. Government forces are expected to be stationed in Syrian state buildings in Hasakah’s so-called “security zone”, a Syrian official and a Kurdish security source told the Reuters news agency ahead of …
Macron “will be in contact all day with his European counterparts and will ask, in the name of France, for the activation of the Anti-Coercion Instrument,” his team said on Sunday ahead of an emergency meeting of EU ambassadors to discuss how to respond to Trump’s latest tariff announcement. Relations between Washington and Europe have been rocky for months as the U.S. president has wavered on support for Ukraine, pressured EU countries into accepting a lopsided trade deal and forced NATO allies to massively increase their spending on defense. Even at the height of those tensions, EU leaders stopped short of hitting back — arguing that the risk of having the United States pull out of NATO was greater than any bad trade deal. But now, as Trump ramps up his claims on Greenland, sparking protests over the weekend in the streets of Nuuk and Copenhagen, European leaders are facing increasingly loud calls to drop their softly-softly approach and prepare for confrontation. The fact that Trump triggered his tariffs just after the EU signed a …

Alessandro Rampazzo | Afp | Getty Images Several NATO members are deploying small numbers of troops to Greenland for a joint military exercise, in the wake of tense talks at the White House about the U.S. desire to annex it. Denmark, which is responsible for Greenland’s defense, Germany, France, Sweden and Norway have all confirmed plans to send military personnel to the sparsely populated island this week. U.S. President Donald Trump has renewed his sights on taking the island following an audacious military intervention in Venezuela to depose its president, Nicolás Maduro, on Jan. 3. The troop deployment comes shortly after the foreign ministers of Denmark and Greenland held talks with U.S. Vice President JD Vance and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the White House. Speaking to reporters alongside Greenland’s Vivian Motzfeldt, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen …
