AI usage is evident but isn't yet a serious problem

Terminal coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode can now each run in their own isolated Vercel Sandbox , orchestrated from Herdr , a tmux-style manager that runs them side by side in panes. Nothing an agent runs or edits touches your machine. When you start an agent, the plugin uploads your project files into a new Sandbox, installs the agent there, and opens a pane connected to it. The pane works like a local terminal; you type to the agent and watch it work. But it lives in the San

Announcing runtime instances in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore—persistent, managed EC2 infrastructure for production AI agents with multi-agent collaboration, GPU support, and sessions lasting up to 14 days.

Earlier this week, the AI startup Liquid, formed in 2023 by former MIT computer scientists, debuted LFM2.5-2.6B , a new open-weight language model designed specifically for agentic workloads. In release materials and a recent interview with VentureBeat, Liquid's researchers said LFM2.5-2.6B can run entirely on local hardware — from smartphones and laptops down to a Raspberry Pi — without relying on cloud inference or GPUs, unlocking edge AI applications and giving more options to enterprises wor

WeatherNext can deliver a 15-day forecast predicting storms' track and intensity.

It would be an ambitiously high price for the AI-powered hardware pivot.

The AI device OpenAI is developing with former Apple designer Jony Ive is "essentially a smart speaker without a display" that's battery-powered, doughnut-shaped and roughly the size of a hockey puck, according to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman. The device, expected to launch in 2027 for a price over $300, reportedly "will have a unique look, […]

The new EU Cloud and AI Development Act (CADA) proposal marks a genuine shift in the way the bloc regulates AI, as it codifies the “AI first” principle and it is as much an “AI promotion and enabling”-type of legislation as it is a cloud sovereignty one. The European Commission published the CADA proposal at […]

In today’s episode of Uncanny Valley, we discuss how ICE has been collecting DNA samples of people who have no criminal convictions, including children, which end up in an FBI database indefinitely.

On 11 July, Hugging Face was subjected to an intense cyberattack from a then-unknown actor. The speed and coordination of the attack on the company that hosts and supports popular AI developer resources led Hugging Face’s security team to conclude it was the work of an AI agent . Realizing this, the team tried to use “frontier models behind commercial APIs” —presumably from Anthropic and OpenAI, although only Anthropic was named in the second of the company’s two posts about the security inciden

Left alone, autonomous fixes often fail to fully remediate flaws

Temporal policies in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore let you define stateful rules that evaluate authorization based on an agent's session history. Learn how to enforce workflow sequencing, prevent data fabrication, cap financial exposure, and require human approval for high-value actions.

These features give you deterministic control over sequences of agent actions and cost ceilings that hold regardless of agent behavior.

Composio tested Deepseek V4 Flash across four agent frameworks on 30 real-world tasks. Success rates were mostly similar, but costs varied by nearly 3x: OpenCode came in cheapest at $0.073 per task, while Claude Code cost $0.195 despite using the fewest tool calls and output tokens. The choice of framework is mainly a question of price and speed.
