Backflipping robots make for splashy demos and viral videos, but Agility Robotics sees humanoid bots doing something simpler — solving an urgent global labor issue inside manufacturing plants.
The Oregon-based startup has so far deployed its humanoid robot, Digit, at Amazon, Schaeffler Group, and GXO, a logistics company. The startup announced in February that a few Digit robots would be deployed in Toyota’s massive manufacturing plant in Canada, marking yet another automaker betting on bipedal bots.
Daniel Diez, Agility’s chief business officer, told Business Insider that there’s a common thread at the companies he visits around the world. In Germany, Korea, Japan, or the US, manufacturers just don’t have enough people who want to work mundane, repetitive jobs.

The product, called Anthropic Marketplace, is straightforward in concept and timed precisely. Enterprise customers with committed annual spending on Anthropic’s API and services will be able to use a portion of that spend to purchase third-party software applications built on Claude, without Anthropic taking a commission on those transactions. Launch partners include Snowflake, the legal AI company Harvey, and the developer platform Replit.
The model is one Anthropic is openly comparing to the software marketplaces run by Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure: platforms that let customers redirect existing cloud commitments toward partner tools, keeping spend inside a single vendor relationship rather than fragmenting procurement across dozens of separate contracts.

OpenAI on Friday began rolling out Codex Security, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered security agent that’s designed to find, validate, and propose fixes for vulnerabilities.
The feature is available in a research preview to ChatGPT Pro, Enterprise, Business, and Edu customers via the Codex web with free usage for the next month.
”It builds deep context about your project to identify complex vulnerabilities that other agentic tools miss, surfacing higher-confidence findings with fixes that meaningfully improve the security of your system while sparing you from the noise of insignificant bugs,” the company said.
Codex Security represents an evolution of Aardvark, which OpenAI unveiled in private beta in October 2025 as a way for developers and security teams to detect and fix security vulnerabilities at scale.

Zero-day exploitation targeting enterprise tech products reached an all-time high last year, with China-linked cyber-espionage groups remaining the most prolific state-backed users, according to Google.
Google Threat Intelligence Group tracked 43 zero-days in enterprise software and appliances in 2025, representing 48 percent of all attacks against these previously undisclosed bugs. That’s up from 36 (46 percent) in 2024.
In total, the Chocolate Factory documented 90 zero-day vulnerabilities actively exploited last year, which is more than 2024’s number (78), but still not as many as 2023’s record high of 100.
