AI Agent News Today
Tuesday, November 18, 2025Three Major AI Agent Breakthroughs Today
Microsoft's Windows AI Gets Personal Access – Microsoft is testing "Agent Workspace," letting AI agents run in the background with access to your Desktop, Photos, and other folders. This means AI can work on tasks while you're doing something else, but privacy-conscious users should review settings since agents get their own permissions.
Game-Changing Storage for AI Training – DDN launched DDN CORE, a unified data engine that makes AI training 15× faster. Early customers report 40% lower costs and 99% GPU efficiency—critical for companies running massive AI workloads who waste money on slow data access.
Faster AI Inference at Lower Cost – d-Matrix and Alchip announced the world's first 3D DRAM solution for AI inference, delivering 10× faster processing than current technology. This directly impacts companies building AI agents that respond in real-time—faster response means better user experience.
Bottom line: If you're deploying AI agents, these three developments affect your infrastructure costs, speed, and privacy in ways that matter this week.
