Stanford is running 37,000 AI agents as a virtual biotech — and one of its drug designs got independently confirmed by Merck
For developers, the operating assumption has been one engineer, one agent — the model Claude Code and similar tools. At VB Transform 2026, James Zou, associate professor of biomedical data science at Stanford University, argued that assumption is about to break: the next frontier isn t a single, more capable agent, it s tens of thousands of them collaborating.For developers and product builders, the most critical takeaway from Zou’s presentation is how these massive systems are orchestrated. His team s research offers a practical blueprint for connecting legacy databases to AI orchestration layers and designing environments that enable thousands of agents to collaborate.Emulating the organization — the virtual biotechZou’s project began as a Virtual Lab consisting of five to eight agents structured to mirror his physical Stanford lab. The setup included an AI professor acting as the principal investigator and AI students with distinct specialties holding regular group meetings. We also

Tencent's Team Memory shares AI agent memory across a team — with no governance yet for when it's wrong
A VB Pulse survey this June found that 57% of enterprises had traced a confidently wrong agent answer back to missing or inconsistent context — the latest sign of how central context has become to whether AI agents can be trusted to act on their own.Most of the fixes so far have solved a narrower version of that problem: one agent remembering more, in one session. What s been missing is a way for a team of agents to draw on the same context at once, and that gap is where a newer problem is surfacing. Once an agent s context is shared across a whole team, a wrong fact doesn t cost one person a repeated explanation. It costs the whole team.Tencent s answer to that gap is Agent Memory, an open-source project the team said grew out of six months spent fixing a narrower problem: agents losing context in long sessions. Part of that system is a persona layer, a stable, distilled picture of who a user is and how they work, built up over many conversations rather than reconstructed each time. O

Samsung’s Z Fold 8 Ultra is more of the same, but better than ever
The Z Fold 8 Ultra retains the boxy shape of Samsung’s previous foldables. What makes the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra so Ultra? Samsung's first foldable with the Ultra name isn't a souped-up version of the regular Fold 8, as you might expect. Where the Z Fold 8 is squat and wide, the Fold 8 Ultra retains the thin outer screen and square inner panel of the previous Folds. It does have a substantially better triple rear camera system and a slightly larger battery. But with no support for the S Pen stylus and no Privacy Display, it's not Ultra in the same way as the Galaxy S26 Ultra. But compare it to last year's Z Fold 7 and the upgrades look more substantial. Samsung has improved the displays, battery, charging, … Read the full story at The Verge.
Werewolf transformed my old gadgets into USB-C powered ones
When I haul my 27-inch desktop monitor into the garage to film fun gadget videos… or want to play Japanese SNES games with friends… or lose the AC adapter for my old external hard disk… I can now power them with a USB battery instead. None of them came with USB-C ports; the entire USB protocol was barely a twinkle in its creator's eye when Nintendo shipped the Super Famicom in 1990! But a tiny programmable dongle, from a company called Werewolf, can transform old power ports to accept USB-C electricity. I'm so impressed, I just bought a second kit for a friend's birthday. With these dongles, there's no surgery required to add USB-C. You … Read the full story at The Verge.
