SAP plans to buy German AI startup Prior Labs and invest heavily in it. It is also prohibiting customers' agents use to a select few like Nvidia's NemoClaw.
Oracle plans to issue security patches for its ERP, database, and other software on a monthly cycle, rather than quarterly, to respond to the increased pace of AI-enabled software vulnerability discovery.
Other software vendors, notably Microsoft, SAP, and Adobe, already release patches on a monthly beat, always on the second Tuesday of each month.
Oracle, though, is taking an off-beat approach: It will release the first of its monthly Critical Security Patch Updates (CSPUs) on May 28, the fourth Thursday, and after that, it will release its patches on the third Tuesday of each month — a week after the other vendors — with the next batches arriving on June 16, July 21, and August 18, it said earlier this week.

But its strongest rationale involves Dremio’s ability to make complex data more AI-friendly, so that it can more quickly and cost-effectively be made usable.
“Most enterprise AI projects fail to deliver value not because of the AI itself, but because the underlying data is fragmented, locked in proprietary formats and stripped of the business context that makes it meaningful,” the SAP announcement said. “The result is a familiar and costly
WALLDORF, Germany and FREIBURG, Germany, May 4, 2026 — SAP SE and Prior Labs, the pioneer of Tabular Foundation Models (TFMs), announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement […]

Ask a consumer-grade model to count the words in a document, and it will often miss the mark by ten percent. Manos Raptopoulos, Global President of Customer Success Europe, APAC, Middle East & Africa at SAP, observes that the […]
