You're tuned in to Tech Beat. Here's what's moving in tech today.

Small businesses have long had the ideas but not the runway to build them. Vibe coding is changing that equation, letting owners describe what they need in plain English and watch AI turn it into a working app. For many, it's the difference between a product that ships and one that never leaves a napkin.

On the institutional crypto front, the team behind Ethereum's privacy work has spun out a for-profit firm called EthSystems, backed by names including Joe Lubin. The bet is straightforward — large financial players won't run real money on a public chain without a serious privacy layer sitting underneath it first.

And over at AWS, Amazon and Anthropic have quietly shipped something enterprise teams have been waiting for. The Claude Apps Gateway is a self-hosted control plane that centralizes identity, policy, spend caps, and routing for Claude Code and Claude Desktop, all running as a single stateless container. It gives organizations the kind of governance guardrails that make AI tooling actually deployable at scale.

That's your digest for today. Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
