CDN costs should be predictable, but viral launches, traffic bursts, or misconfigured routes sometimes turn an otherwise normal month into an unexpected bill. Vercel has introduced Flat Rate CDN for Pro teams to provide more predictable monthly bills. It has built-in spike protection and service tiers designed for different traffic profiles. Teams can now choose the CDN capacity that corresponds to their typical usage profile, pay a known amount monthly, and avoid surprise overages from temporary spikes.
TeamAI manages a team's skills, rules, MCP, and knowledge across AI agents. Teams just create a shared-experience repository on their git host, grant write access to team members, then run the assistant. Once initialized, every AI session will automatically pull the latest skills, rules, and other harness updates published by administrators without any manual sync required.
Consumer AI products built around single-player utility remain vulnerable to rapid switching as model performance changes. Durable advantage still comes from network effects, marketplaces, and platforms that become more valuable as more users join, transact, and coordinate.
You've failed as a manager if someone is surprised they are getting fired for performance. Underperforming employees should have their performance discussed regularly before anything happens. If they still aren't performing after several weeks, have a lawyer create separation documents for them to sign, then offer them severance in exchange for signing the documents. Communicate the decision to the team with respect.
The shortlist worth building is a list of people who make each other better.
Roman Ugarte, product lead at SpaceXAI, recently appeared on a podcast to talk about how a small, isolated team took Grok Bot from its first line of code to a working internal product in four weeks, and to a hugely successful public launch just three weeks later.

Chinese regulators are tightening approval for humanoid robotics startups seeking to go public, following a volatile trading debut from sector leader Unitree Robotics, as they try to cool a sector described as sizzling but rife with copycats and little real technological breakthrough. The China Securities Regulatory Commission's tighter posture is expected to affect other humanoid IPO hopefuls, reportedly including names such as AGIBOT and Galbot.
Robocurve, a public benefit company backed by YC, has opened a community bounty program to build reproducible open-source evaluation benchmarks for physical AI and autonomous robot systems. To make these benchmarks happen, it is giving away $20,000 and a pair of I2RT ABC Box robot arms to 25 teams who propose the best research benchmarks. Robocurve hopes to accelerate the development of Physical AI by increasing the number and diversity of dexterous robotics benchmarks.
This open-source repository presents a comparative benchmark evaluating four popular LiDAR odometry and SLAM algorithms—KISS-ICP, DLIO, FAST-LIO2, and GLIM—on live aerial drone flight data collected with a Livox Mid-360 LiDAR and Pixhawk flight controller. Running directly on a Jetson Orin NX embedded computing platform, the project compares trajectory accuracy and map reconstruction quality against millimeter-grade VICON ground-truth data. These empirical findings provide developers and perception engineers with actionable performance data to choose and tune state estimation algorithms for compute-constrained autonomous platforms.
Xiaomi's 18 Fold launched in China a full 24 hours ahead of Apple's rumored iPhone Fold, packing a wide-style, passport-sized chassis with a 5.38-inch outer OLED and 7.58-inch inner display, both hitting 4,000 nits peak brightness with a 1-120Hz LTPO refresh rate and, notably, an RGB sub-pixel structure that's a first for any foldable. Xiaomi prioritized battery over thinness, fitting a 6,000mAh cell (with 67W wired charging) into a 5.02mm-unfolded body that's still slightly thicker than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8.
Data collection for Physical AI is an expensive problem blocking the development of more advanced models. To get around this bottleneck, researchers at Rice University have developed RoboTok, an automated data engine that indexes, filters, and processes large-scale human demonstration videos from the internet to train manipulation policies. By extracting hand trajectories and object interactions directly from uncurated web video, the system learns complex, multi-stage manipulation skills without requiring physical teleoperation. This approach showcases how massive online video datasets can be converted into scalable training data to overcome physical data collection bottlenecks.
Orion is an open-source, 12-degree-of-freedom quadruped robot designed, fabricated, and programmed from scratch using ROS 2, custom 3D-printed components, and serial bus servos. The repository provides complete mechanical CAD models, kinematic calculations for dynamic walking gaits, and step-by-step firmware integration guides. This project provides engineering teams and builders with an accessible reference architecture for prototyping low-cost legged locomotion platforms.
They say any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Sean Tsai, an engineer at Foxconn, has built an interactive robot that performs classic sleight-of-hand magic tricks for human audiences. It integrates computer vision to track spectator choices and low-latency motor control to execute precise, synchronized mechanical deceptions in real time. It illustrates how combining high-speed visual tracking with fine motion planning can significantly enhance interactive entertainment and human-machine collaboration.

What do cybercriminals look for before they strike? Former FBI Special Agent Jeff Lanza and Flexential VP of Cybersecurity Services Will Bass share lessons from real-world cases in OUTSMARTING CYBERCRIME: LESSONS FROM AN FBI INSIDER [5]. [5] Learn how attackers identify vulnerabilities, exploit human behavior, and gain a foothold, plus get practical insights for reducing risk, strengthening cyber resilience, and preparing your organization to respond and recover when prevention isn't enough.
Calif has demonstrated a zero-click worm that takes over a WeChat account via an unanswered VoIP call, then uses that account to call the victim's contacts. This exploit relies on a memory corruption bug in WeChat's VoIP stack and requires the attacker to be on the victim's friend list, which is a weak barrier since one compromised friend can lead to further exploitation. Tencent has mitigated this issue in server-side updates and in client versions Android 8.0.77 and iOS 8.0.76, so users should enforce these updates and reconsider trusted-contact privileges in messaging apps.
Security researchers gained access to an Elasticsearch cluster containing an Advanced Passenger Information System (APIS) database with records belonging to 220M passengers and flight crew members. The researchers received a 401 when trying to access the cluster via the public internet but could reach the database, which accepted default credentials via a cloud-based access path. The data includes passengers' and crew members' names, dates of birth, sex, nationalities, passport or travel document numbers, document expiration dates, and issuing countries.
There is a malware campaign targeting F5 BIG-IP APM devices that exploits a critical RCE vulnerability and injects a fileless web shell. A distinct installer deploys the payload by infecting the Apache executable and modifying SELinux configurations. ESET researchers identified the malware as PoisonedRefresh.
Researchers demonstrated attacks against customer-support agents through email spoofing, duplicate From headers, out-of-office replies, and email-address parser mismatches. These flaws can trigger profile changes, refunds, phishing emails, or account data disclosure. Alternatively, other paths reset OTP rate limits, abuse IVR checks, and steal third-party reset codes from monitored support inboxes. Hidden instructions in alternate MIME parts, CSS-hidden text, and attacker-controlled images can mislead automated processing. Untrusted forum comments and namespace-controlled sitemap pages can also poison support knowledge bases.
Oxide published its internal design for protecting rack data at rest, rooting everything in a Shamir-shared rack secret that no attacker can recover without stealing at least K sleds or M.2 drives. Per-drive ZFS wrapper keys are derived with HKDF using SHA3-256 and an info string built from the PCI vendor ID, drive model, and serial number, so compromising one disk key leaves the others intact. The harder problem is rotation across a distributed two-phase commit: the dealer encrypts the epoch N-1 rack secret under a key derived from the epoch N secret using chacha20poly1305, keeping the old secret unrecoverable until the new configuration commits.
Check Point Research discovered that ChatGPT code-execution containers from different accounts were using package metadata as a covert cross-account channel because these containers could read and write item properties on the same internal JFrog Artifactory instance. This allowed attackers to deliver a planted instruction through a shared conversation, a custom GPT, or a pasted prompt. The model would then run a hidden second task stream in the same turn, pulling data from the victim's connected Gmail while the visible answer stayed clean. Although OpenAI has decommissioned that Artifactory instance, defenders should enable per-session isolation for any mutable state in shared internal services and review default low-risk reads configuration.

DecBench is a living benchmark from Noelo Lab at the University of Georgia that scores decompilers and LLMs on exact source recovery. It measures perfect-match percentage across datasets covering control flow structure, type recovery, and recompilability, with new tools added to the leaderboard as they ship.
PREY-0058 targets executives through fake IT help-desk calls and authentication-themed domains. Its AitM pages capture Microsoft 365 credentials, MFA approvals, and session tokens. Operators replay tokens through residential proxies, then enumerate SharePoint and Entra ID. They bulk-exfiltrate SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange, and Box data before issuing extortion demands. Defenders are advised to watch for proxy token replay, mailbox harvesting, and new MFA-themed domains.
The National Audit Office named cyberattacks as a threat to the UK food supply chain. Marks & Spencer estimates its April 2025 attack cost £136 million after warehouse systems were disconnected, and the Co-op confirmed theft of 6.5 million member records. Several food supply chain organizations cited the substantial investments businesses are making to manage the threat and incidence of cyber-attacks.
This walkthrough covers passkey registration and login end-to-end, from server-issued challenges and stored public keys to SimpleWebAuthn verification in Node. Phishing resistance comes from RP ID scoping, which browsers enforce, but servers must still verify alongside exact origin, challenge freshness, and user verification. Teams tend to underestimate single-use challenges, concurrent login tabs, credential management screens, and recovery paths that end up weaker than the login they back up.

AI demand isn't just reshaping compute. It's putting pressure on memory, storage, and other critical components, creating tighter supply, volatile pricing, and longer procurement timelines. For IT teams, that can turn hardware ownership into a source of financial and operational risk. RETHINKING INFRASTRUCTURE IN A VOLATILE HARDWARE MARKET [5] explores how organizations can reduce their exposure to hardware volatility, improve predictability, and scale infrastructure without being locked into procurement cycles or overprovisioning.
MLex reports the European Commission (EC) has started examining Oracle's software licensing practices ahead of a possible formal investigation, with one source saying regulators are seeking third-party views. The scrutiny follows the Commission's SAP probe, which ended with binding commitments to abolish reinstatement fees and reduce back-maintenance fees. An EC spokesperson said there is currently no formal investigation into any company.
Meta launched Muse, an AI agent that can connect to apps including email, calendars, payments, shopping, and smart home systems, then take actions on a user's behalf. Each agent runs in its own virtual machine and can continue working in the background, providing a preview of how quickly AI assistants are moving from answering questions to operating across real systems.
Switzerland's federal government is piloting Microsoft 365 alternatives across roughly 3,000 workstations, or about 7% of its administrative workforce. Data sovereignty is the primary driver, with licensing costs also contributing to a broader European push to reduce dependence on US-based workplace software.
Enterprise software's "capital lightness" is an accounting illusion, because $50M spent on engineers is expensed as R&D while an equivalent factory machine is capitalized. Software requires constant maintenance labor to fight decay and outsources physical infrastructure to cloud hyperscalers spending ~$700B. High gross margins therefore reflect upfront sunk costs, not freedom from capital.
Agentic AI could change SaaS from software designed primarily for people clicking through interfaces into services increasingly consumed by agents acting across multiple systems. Vendors and IT teams will need clearer permissions, monitoring, and guardrails as software starts performing work instead of simply exposing functionality.
