Involving before Evolving: A Vision for Trustworthy Enterprise Digital Twin Engineering
Vision paper proposes 'involving before evolving' staged approach for trustworthy enterprise digital twins, validated via an ongoing Michelin prototype.
The paper presents a three-stage vision for enterprise digital twin (EDT) engineering that prioritizes early organizational buy-in before evolving toward federation and full interoperability. The approach combines foundation models for rapid prototyping, an ontological backbone for federated interoperability, and observability tooling to build stakeholder trust. The vision is grounded in an ongoing collaboration with Michelin, where an initial working prototype helped secure stakeholder buy-in.
Simulation: the new Scaling Law — Joon Sung Park, Simile AI
Simile AI raised a $2B Series B from GreenOaks and Index Ventures to scale human-behavior simulation for Fortune 100 clients like CVS.
Simile AI, co-founded by Generative Agents researcher Joon Sung Park, announced a $2 billion Series B backed by GreenOaks and Index Ventures, with Fei-Fei Li and Andrej Karpathy among backers. The company runs tens of millions of simulations for Fortune 100 clients including CVS, reporting 85-99% accuracy versus human focus groups and digital twins of 1,000 real people at 85% behavioral accuracy. The long-term ambition is foundation models of human behavior, post-trained on interviews, transaction data, and randomized controlled trials, potentially simulating all 8 billion people.
NVIDIA and CrowdStrike Strengthen Agentic Cybersecurity Frontier
NVIDIA and CrowdStrike announce SafeMind, an agentic cybersecurity system built on Nemotron models, plus Falcon IQ for agentic workload automation.
At CrowdStrike's Fal.Con 2026, NVIDIA and CrowdStrike announced SafeMind, an agentic cybersecurity system combining CrowdStrike's purpose-built frontier models and harnesses with NVIDIA Nemotron open models in a continuous red-versus-blue coevolution loop. A Blue Solano model post-trained on Nemotron 3 Super reportedly achieved higher accuracy than leading frontier models at 99% lower cost. CrowdStrike also introduced Falcon IQ, powered by Nemotron models in the Charlotte AI AgentWorks platform, coordinating more than 50 agents for automated defensive workflows. CrowdStrike cited an 89% year-over-year rise in AI-enabled attacks and a fastest eCrime breakout time of 27 seconds as context for agentic defense.
Drowning in CVEs and thirsty for answers? Try CTEM
Sponsored Register piece argues traditional vulnerability management cannot scale with CVE volume and promotes Continuous Threat Exposure Management via Horizon3's NodeZero.
The sponsored article cites surging CVE volumes, CVSS triage shortcomings, NVD backlog, and AI-driven discovery accelerating an asymmetric vulnerability cycle. It outlines Gartner's five CTEM steps - scoping, discovery, prioritization, validation, and mobilization - and describes how Horizon3's NodeZero automated pentesting validates exploitable attack paths with evidence. Horizon3 says NodeZero uses a deterministic machine learning expert system rather than general LLMs, limiting generative AI to scoped tasks via AWS Bedrock.
