What shipped, what flopped, what actually matters. Not a blog roll — a live intelligence feed you can actually keep up with.
Eval gates before you trust an agent
Ship agents only after eval gates pass: task completion under failure, tool-permission checks, and regression sets built from your tickets — not demo scripts.
Microsoft's New Cybersecurity Model: What Builders Should Know
Microsoft introduces its first AI security model and an agentic cybersecurity system. Learn what changes builders and operators should implement this week.

US Policy Debate on AI Restrictions: What Builders and Operators Should Watch
AI companies like Nvidia and Mistral urge policymakers to avoid broad restrictions on open-weight models. This week, builders and operators should stay informed and prepared.
Tool-use agents that actually finish the job
Most agent demos stall after the first tool call. The patterns that survive production: tight tool schemas, permission layers, and stop conditions you can audit.
Local RAG that survives contact with real docs
Local LLMs are finally usable — RAG still fails on chunking, stale indexes, and citation lies. A practical checklist for stacks that stay honest.
Video models: the demo-to-production gap is still wide
Text-to-video and multimodal models keep impressive demos coming. For product teams, latency, controllability, and brand safety still decide what ships.
AI product UX beyond the chat box
Chat is a prototype surface, not a product. Patterns that work: embedded actions, reviewable drafts, and progressive disclosure instead of another empty text field.
GPT-5.6 Sol proves 50-year math conjecture
OpenAI's Sol model autonomously worked through a problem mathematicians have chased since the 1970s — not prompted, just given time to think.
Mozilla draws the line on open-source AI
New report distinguishes 'open-source AI' from 'open-weight' — a definition that could shape regulation and licensing for years.
