We also round up a few shorter headlines from Nvidia, PayPal, Granola, and Proofpoint.Covered in this episode:\n- Cyera agrees to acquire Oasis Security for about $1 billion as enterprises look for ways to secure proliferating AI agents.\n- Recursive Superintelligence signs a $410 million compute deal with Amazon Web Services.\n- A new paper, Messier, proposes a shared corpus for comparing AI agents across 30 benchmarks.\n- Nvidia pitches Jetson as a compact edge AI and robotics platform.\n- PayPal says a higher takeover offer could still be considered after a better-than-expected quarter.\n- Granola launches an Apple Watch app for meeting transcription and note-taking.\n- Proofpoint’s $5 billion refinancing reportedly faces higher borrowing costs and tighter covenants tied to AI risk concerns.Source links:\n- Cyera / Oasis Security: https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/28/cyera-agrees-to-acquire-oasis-security-for-1b-to-safeguard-proliferating-ai-agents/\n- Recursive Superintelligence / AWS: https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/28/recursive-superintelligence-signs-400-compute-deal-with-amazon/\n- Messier paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.25891v1\n- Nvidia Jetson: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/build-ai-with-nvidia-jetson/\n- PayPal takeover angle: https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/28/paypal-leaves-the-door-open-to-a-higher-takeover-offer-following-earnings-beat/\n- Granola Apple Watch app: https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/28/granola-launches-an-apple-watch-app/\n- Proofpoint refinancing / FT: https://www.ft.com/content/817f559d-11b6-4969-a613-8517861e6df0?syn-25a6b1a6=1","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/U8MjYsqEAUXr8sykSIjiubn3kUnZpkcAAqCjELTLubA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85YWE0/MDRlYTJkZTY4ZDhk/N2YzZjZmYzg0ZmQ2/Mzg1NC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
