Subagents are specialized AI agents. They are most of the time used in combination with an orchestrator, which delegates tasks to them. A subagent is just like a normal agent and has the same components. This includes a name for identification, a description of its capabilities, system instructions and a set of tools to interact with environments. It also has its own isolated context window.

Economic pressure is rising,  and doing more with less has become the new reality. But surviving a downturn isn’t about stretching yourself thinner; it’s about protecting what matters most.

In 2025 as new updates and improvements take over the field of AI, the ranking of these AI platforms will have to shift. We look at the 20 best artificial intelligence platforms for 2025, and why we think they deserve to be on the list.

This video explains fine-tuning LLMs for domain-specific tasks. It covers when to fine-tune, preparing clean data, running training with LoRA on Colab GPUs, testing inference, and loading the fine-tuned model into Ollama for local applications.

Developers can now connect their Claude account to Xcode 26 to power coding intelligence features with Claude Sonnet 4. Xcode is Apple's integrated development environment (IDE) and offers the tools you need to develop, test, and distribute apps for Apple platforms. This integration lets developers use Claude's coding capabilities directly in their workflow, accelerating app development for Apple platforms.

Vercel argues the second wave of MCP design should prioritize LLMs. By bundling multi-step operations into single tools and handling domain logic internally, agents become more robust and context-aware.

Google just introduced the Agent Payments Protocol, a new open framework that enables AI agents to securely make purchases on a user’s behalf, with backing from over 60 financial and tech giants. AP2 creates secure digital contracts called ā€œmandatesā€ that verify user authorization before an agent completes a transaction.

As we age, our muscles naturally lose mass, strength, and functionality, which can lead to fatigue and weakness beginning as early as our 30s. Recent studies indicate that our mitochondria—the cellular powerhouses that generate 90% of our energy—play a crucial role in this decline, contributing to reduced muscle function as we age. A new way to support and improve muscle health as we age, MitopureĀ® by Timeline is clinically shown to meaningfully boost our mitochondrial health to improve muscle strength, without any change in exercise required. Ready to feel stronger, for longer with Mitopure? Big Data News Weekly readers can take 30% off their first month with code 30NEWSLETTER for a limited time. While supplies last.

*500mg MitopureĀ® have been shown to (1) induce gene expression related to mitochondria function and metabolism and (2) increase the strength of the hamstring leg muscle in measures of knee extension and flexion after 4 months in overweight 40-65 year olds.

US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to discuss a deal where TikTok's US operations would be acquired by a consortium that includes Oracle, Andreessen Horowitz, and Silver Lake.
