Cisco Warns Agentic AI Will Put New Pressure on Enterprise Networks

Cisco Warns Agentic AI Will Put New Pressure on Enterprise Networks

Published by Webster

AI’s infrastructure problem keeps moving. First, companies needed faster chips. Then they needed more GPUs, bigger data centers, and enough electricity to keep those AI factories running. At Cisco Live in Las Vegas, Cisco Chair and CEO Chuck Robbins argued that the next major constraint is the network itself. Robbins said AI traffic could triple over the next three years as enterprises move from chatbots to agentic systems that act, communicate, and make decisions at machine speed. For IT leaders, the message was clear: AI ambitions may soon depend less on access to models and more on whether the network can carry the load. “Every technical innovation over the past 40 years and all the current buzz about GPUs, inferencing, agentic AI, and the latest models — it is all dependent on the network,” Robbins explained. “We expect at least a tripling of networking traffic over the next three years due to the evolving capabilities and consumption demands of AI.” Starbucks and networking Robbins concluded his keynote by introducing Brian Niccol, chairman and CEO of …

Cloudflare is laying off more than 1,100 employees to prepare for the “agentic AI era”. The cybersecurity company told staff about the workforce reduction on Thursday, after posting first-quarter revenue of $639.8 million. Matthew Prince, CEO of CloudFlare, said that the layoffs were not a cost-cutting exercise (AFP) Cloudflare co-founders Matthew Prince and Michelle Zatlyn said in an internal memo, seen by Business Insider, that the company’s use of AI had increased “more than 600%” in the last three months alone. They framed the layoffs as an exercise to prepare for the agentic AI era, and not a cost-cutting measure. What did the Cloudflare memo say? “The way we work at Cloudflare has fundamentally changed,” the company executives said in their memo. “We don’t just build and sell AI tools and platforms. We are our own most demanding customer”. Noting that departments like engineering, HR, finance, and marketing now run “thousands of AI agent sessions each day,” the company said it had to be “intentional in how we architect our company for the agentic AI …

4 min readNew DelhiMar 10, 2026 11:17 AM IST Microsoft on Monday, March 9, announced that it is integrating Anthropic’s Claude Cowork with its Office 365 software, allowing users to offload work-related tasks to AI agents that can autonomously work across documents, emails, and other office tools. Copilot Cowork will turn user requests into a plan and execute it across their apps and files. Unlike using Cowork directly, Copilot Cowork’s actions will be grounded in users’ work data while operating within Microsoft 365’s security and governance frameworks, Microsoft said. Users will also be able to interrupt Copilot Cowork mid-task to steer its actions and provide additional instructions. Copilot Cowork has currently been released in limited research preview and will be more broadly available as part of Microsoft’s Frontier programme by end of March, 2026. It is one of many upgrades coming to the latest Wave 3 version of Microsoft 365 Copilot. The Windows maker on Monday also announced a new subscription bundle for businesses that combines its Office 365 software with its Copilot AI chatbot …

Microsoft is turning Windows into an ‘agentic OS,’ starting with the taskbar

Published by Webster

Microsoft is trying to transform Windows into a “canvas for AI,” with new AI agents integrated into the Windows 11 taskbar. These new taskbar capabilities are designed to make AI agents feel like an assistant in Windows that can go off and control your PC and do tasks for you at the click of a button. It’s part of a broader overhaul of Windows to turn the operating system into an “agentic OS.” “This is all about us wanting to make sure that every user can get the superpowers of AI,” says Navjot Virk, corporate vice president of Windows experiences, in an interview with The Verge. Microsoft is integrating a variety of AI agents directly into the Windows 11 taskbar, including its own Microsoft 365 Copilot and third-party options. “This integration isn’t just about adding agents; it’s about making them part of the OS experience,” says Windows chief Pavan Davuluri.

OpenAI Unveils Codex CLI, an Open-Source Agentic Coding Assistant That Can Operate Locally

Published by Webster

OpenAI introduced an open‑source artificial intelligence (AI) command‑line tool on Thursday that can operate within a user’s terminal. Dubbed Codex CLI, it is essentially an AI agent that can perform various coding tasks and can even autonomously execute commands, all within a sandboxed local system. The tool does not require any installation setup, and can use multiple OpenAI AI models. However, the open-source project is currently under active development, and the AI firm warns that it might not be entirely stable. OpenAI’s New Open-Source AI Agent Can Code Locally The San Francisco-based AI firm introduced Codex CLI in a post on its website. Calling it a “lightweight coding agent,” the company said it can read, modify, and run code in a user’s terminal. The AI agent runs locally and does not require any Internet connectivity to function. It officially supports macOS and Linux, however, Windows support is experimental and might require Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). OpenAI’s Codex CLI is an interesting project.
