Victor Taelin relaunched his Bend language as Bend 2, a proof checker that refuses AI-written code unable to prove it preserves rules stated in a LAWS.bend file, and the first outside measurement by Liam Powell found the…
A developer fine-tuning DEIMv2, a DETR-style detector with a DINOv3 Vision Transformer backbone, applied discriminative fine-tuning — assigning the backbone a learning rate of 5e-6 and the decoder head 1e-4, a 20x gap — …
AIR Security disclosed Plugin4Shell, a zero-click remote code execution vulnerability that bypasses SHA pinning in four major AI coding agents: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, and the Gemini CLI. Anthropic pat…
A developer built five small self-improving agent loops in a single evening using Claude Code, finding that all five shared the same flaw: their judges scored whether the right words or shapes appeared rather than whethe…
A developer behind the ClinicLive clinic-management app documented a full AI-assisted redesign that cost roughly $3.60 in API spend, less than half the $6.20 spent on the original build. The redesign covered a design-tok…
