What is a MCP Gateway? The Missing Piece for Enterprise AI Infrastructure

Jan 21, 2026 By Kong In Kong
AI agents are spreading across organizations rapidly. Each agent needs secure access to different Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Authentication becomes complex. Scaling creates bottlenecks. The dreaded "too many endpoints" problem emerges. You face a classic AI infrastructure headache. The numbers tell the story. Organizations using AI in at least one business function jumped from 55% to 78% in just one year. Generative AI usage specifically rose from 33% in 2023 to 71% in 2024.

Realtime steering: interrupt, barge-in, redirect, and guide the AI

Jan 21, 2026 By Faye McClenahan In Ably
Start typing, change your mind, redirect the AI mid-response. It just works. That is the promise of realtime steering. Users expect to interrupt an answer, correct its direction, or inject new instructions on the fly without losing context or restarting the session. It feels simple, but delivering it requires low-latency control signals, reliable cancellation, and shared conversational state that survives disconnects and device switches.

Peeking Under the Hood with Claude Code

Jan 20, 2026 By Matthew LeRay In Speedscale
Claude is one of the go-to AI-native code editors for developers. Because it's a simple chatbot interface housed inside a familiar CLI, it provides a pretty smooth path between traditional IDEs and agentic AI. But what's actually happening behind the scenes when you ask it to write code, generate a test, or debug an issue? Who and what is it talking to behind the scenes? Can I prevent data leakage or do I need to add another layer to my tin foil hat? To answer these questions, I used proxymock to inspect the network traffic flowing from the Claude IDE.
