NVIDIA said on March 16, 2026 that Dynamo 1.0 is entering production as open source software for generative and agentic inference at scale. The company says the stack can raise Blackwell inference performance by up to 7x and is already supported across major cloud providers, inference platforms, and AI-native companies.
OpenAI said on March 9, 2026 that it plans to acquire Promptfoo. The company said Promptfoo's technology will strengthen agentic security testing and evaluation inside OpenAI Frontier, while Promptfoo remains open source under its current license and existing customers continue to receive support.
Vercel used X on March 12, 2026 to show how Notion Workers runs agent-capable code on Vercel Sandbox. Vercel's write-up says Workers handle third-party syncs, automations, and AI agent tool calls, while Sandbox provides isolation, credential management, network controls, snapshots, and active-CPU billing.
xAI said on March 16, 2026 that Grok's Text-to-Speech API is now available. xAI's own voice docs describe a beta API with five voices, inline speech tags, telephony-friendly codecs, and a streaming WebSocket mode for low-latency applications.
