Chinese AI models are gaining ground with US companies because they cost far less than systems from OpenAI and Anthropic, CNBC reports. The article Chinese AI models regularly pass 30 percent on OpenRouter as cost gap widens appeared first on The Decoder .

Software supply chain security was hard enough. Then AI joined the build pipeline. For five years, "software supply chain security" meant one question: what's in your code? Which open-source packages, which versions, which transitive dependencies three layers deep that nobody chose on purpose? SolarWinds, Log4Shell, and XZ Utils all taught the same lesson: the risk lives less in the code a

With the rapid progress of AI capabilities and the move to agentic systems, organizations are expanding their use cases as the technology continues to grow. That constant evolution also introduces risk, leaving IT leaders to wonder which investments will prove valuable even six months into the future. Returning to the foundational elements of AI architecture—the…

Do any renowned OSS projects (e.g. OS, compilers, databases, libraries...) switched their review process and started allowing vibe-coded PR to be merged? A few months ago, there was this AI generated PR to the OCaml project ^1 that famously got rejected. Has the stance changed lately with increasingly better LLM models? --- ^1 https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/14369 Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48816039 Points: 1 # Comments: 1

OpenAI, Anthropic, and major cloud providers are racing to outbid each other with free compute credits to pull startups into their ecosystems. Some individual offers top $3 million. At Y Combinator alone, OpenAI and Anthropic could hand out up to $800 million in credits per year combined. The discount war comes at a time when both companies need to improve their margins ahead of upcoming IPOs.

Not sure this will have any effect, but I support the effort: According to Google’s legal filing, Outsider Enterprise operates through Telegram. The group offers phishing-as-a-service to individuals who may not be technically savvy enough to set up fraudulent websites and text campaigns on their own. In its Telegram channels, Outsider Enterprise reportedly provided instructions on how to use Google’s Gemini AI to create websites that imitate those of Google, YouTube, and government agencies such

Apollo chief economist Torsten Slok sees no AI-driven margin gains outside tech. In regulated industries like healthcare, banking, or pharma, process overhauls and privacy rules could delay productivity boosts by years. If that takes five years instead of five months, many AI stocks face a painful repricing. The article Apollo economist warns AI profit gains outside tech could take "well beyond" what Wall Street expects appeared first on The Decoder .

<p>Every WooCommerce integration project we take on now ends with the same question from the client: "can the AI just check the store for me?" What were last month's sales, which SKUs are out of stock, has order 48821 shipped. Reasonable questions. The tempting answer is to hand an agent full API access and let it figure things out. That is also how you end up with an LLM editing prices at 2am because it "helpfully" corrected what it thought was a typo.</p> <p>So we built the boring version inst

<p>Ask a team "which models is your application allowed to call, and under what conditions?" and the honest answer is usually <em>"let me check the code."</em> The rules — which models are approved, which tools an agent may invoke, what happens when a request is too large or comes from the wrong region — are scattered across <code>if</code> statements in a dozen services. No one can review them in one place, no one can test a change safely, and no one can say what a rule <em>would have done</em>

<p>Fallbacks make AI products feel safer. They can also make the bill harder to explain.</p> <p>A typical production setup no longer sends one request to one model and stops. It may try a preferred model, retry after a timeout, move to a backup route, shorten context, call a smaller model for classification, then call a larger model for the final answer.</p> <p>That is often the right engineering choice. The problem starts when the team only watches the first model name or the final HTTP status.
