News reporting focused on AI and machine learning, covering the companies behind these technologies, their real-world applications, and the ethical concerns they raise. This includes areas like generative AI (large language models, text-to-image and video), speech tech, and predictive analytics.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP), a key standard for AI interoperability, is getting a significant update that changes how it handles session IDs. The new stateless approach aims to make it easier for companies to run MCP servers at scale, addressing a major headache that has slowed adoption of large-scale integrations.
Developers at Quandri ran experiments on MCP (Model Context Protocol) and found it consumes up to 10.5% of the context window with tool definitions alone. The CLI approach uses 65x fewer tokens for the same task. The article explores alternatives like Skills that wrap existing CLI commands.
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff states that APIs serve as the new user interface for AI agents. The company launches Headless 360 to expose its full platform, including Agentforce and Slack, via APIs, Model Context Protocol, and a Command Line Interface. This approach aligns with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's view that every company must become an API company as AI agents bypass traditional interfaces.
