CrawlForge v4.2.2 introduces a new command-line interface (CLI) and three new tools, shifting its focus toward local, API-key-free web scraping for AI. The new tools include `extract_with_llm`, which defaults to local Ol…
A developer's project to modernize 40-year-old COBOL mainframe code into Python microservices using a fully offline, local AI agent. The developer used the open-source Gemma 4 model, loaded via Unsloth's optimized 4-bit …
Based on a 2026 survey of developers, the article ranks AI coding assistants, with GitHub Copilot remaining the most widely adopted due to its improved multi-file awareness, while Cursor is highlighted as the top choice …
The article suggests adding an automatic EFI installer to Haiku's installation process, as users currently must manually select "Tools > Install EFI" after installation. The author proposes running the EFI install progra…
Three key insights for developers using AI tools: Snowflake Cortex Code has a significant performance bottleneck due to a ~25,000 token system prompt overhead that consumes context window space and increases costs before…
Five AI prompts built on the "CRTSE" framework designed to generate production-ready code without requiring major rewrites. Each prompt assigns the AI a specific expert role (e.g., senior engineer, security auditor) and …
This week's top GPU news highlights three key developments: the release of Fournex, an open-source tool that analyzes Nsight Compute data to identify and suggest fixes for PyTorch/CUDA bottlenecks; a report forecasting t…
In 2025, AI-generated code has made traditional software engineering practices like code reviews and testing ineffective, as AI can produce large volumes of superficially correct code that subtly violates business rules.…
An experimental AI coding workflow called "O MAS TO" (Orchestrated Multi-Agent Safety & Test Oversight), inspired by Stripe Minions, which prioritizes strict oversight over autonomous agent action. The system enforces a …
GitHub announced that all Copilot plans will transition to usage-based billing starting June 1, 2026, replacing Premium Request Units with GitHub AI Credits charged according to actual token consumption at each model's p…
Seed4j-mcp is a new open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows AI agents like Claude Code and Cursor to control the seed4j application generator, enabling them to scaffold Spring Boot and Vue projects au…
A contractor for the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) publicly exposed highly sensitive credentials on a GitHub repository, including keys to AWS GovCloud accounts and plaintext passwords for interna…
An autonomous AI system built for penetration testing that overcomes human limitations by combining tool selection, memory of past attacks, real-time vulnerability database queries, mathematical modeling for zero-day dis…
Anthropic designed Claude with a philosophy prioritizing both capability and safety, which is reflected in its API design where system prompts have higher authority than user messages. It provides practical guidance on u…
The OpenAI API is the most widely used interface for integrating AI models into products, offering features like chat completions, streaming, function calling, embeddings, image generation, and speech. The article provid…
