IBM is acquiring HRL Laboratories, the research organization jointly owned by Boeing and General Motors, as it looks to expand beyond superconducting qubits and strengthen its quantum computing ambitions.
IBM says the biggest challenge in AI-powered software development is no longer generating code. Instead, the company argues that reviewing and validating AI-generated code has become the real bottleneck, prompting new multi-agent capabilities and modernization tools for its Bob platform.
IBM and Red Hat are rolling out Lightwell, a new AI-powered platform that promises to help enterprises patch vulnerable open source software without disruptive upgrades.
IBM has unveiled what it says is the world’s first sub-1 nanometer chip technology, powered by a new 3D nanostack architecture. The breakthrough could extend semiconductor scaling for another decade while delivering major gains in performance and energy efficiency.
IBM is launching Anderon, a standalone quantum chip foundry company backed by a proposed $1 billion CHIPS award and another $1 billion from IBM itself. The move signals a major push to keep quantum manufacturing and innovation rooted in the United States.
IBM says artificial intelligence is moving toward infrastructure status and argues that open source development may be the safest way to build and secure it.
