Accenture is buying Ookla (Speedtest and Downdetector) for about $1.2B, aiming to monetize its large real-world internet performance dataset for consulting and infrastructure work.

China’s Minimax launches Max Claw, a cloud “always-on” AI agent deployable in 10 seconds, raising broader access and data-security concerns.
