On May 19, 633 malicious npm package versions passed Sigstore provenance verification. They were cleared by the system because the attacker had generated valid signing certificates from a compromised maintainer account.Sigstore worked exactly as designed: it verified the package was built in a CI environment, confirmed a valid certificate was issued, and recorded everything in the transparency log. What it cannot do is determine whether the person holding the credentials authorized the publish — and that ga

Yesterday, Xiaomi announced the 17 Max, and today there's already a full teardown / disassembly video on YouTube showing all of its insides, courtesy of the Chinese channel WekiHome. While the video is in Chinese, we find YouTube's English language captions very good, so make sure you turn them on if you don't speak Chinese. The Xiaomi 17 Max is a rather surprising arrival, since it's the first Max in... Read more ›

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has just published documents related to an apparently unreleased Apple product with model number A3577, with the product described as "Bluetooth over-ear headphones." These headphones do not appear to be the AirPods Max 2, which carry a model number of A3454, and there is little other information to go on, so it is unclear what these headphones are. Most of the documents that would reveal... Read more ›

Aikido Security found that deleted Google API keys can continue authenticating for a median of about 16 minutes and as long as 23 minutes, despite Google Cloud's UI claiming that once a key is deleted it can no longer make API requests. Dark Reading reports: Joe Leon, researcher at Belgian startup Aikido Security, recently analyzed the revocation window -- the time between a key's deletion and its last successful authentication...

For AI systems to keep improving in knowledge work, they need either a reliable mechanism for autonomous self-improvement or human evaluators capable of catching errors and generating high-quality feedback. The industry has invested enormously in the first. It's giving almost no thought to what's happening to the second.I’d argue that we need to treat the human evaluation problem with just as much rigor and investment as we put into building...

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has become the de facto standard for grounding large language models (LLMs) in private data. The standard architecture — chunking documents, embedding them into a vector database, and retrieving top-k results via cosine similarity — is effective for unstructured semantic search.However, for enterprise domains characterized by highly interconnected data (supply chain, financial compliance, fraud detection), vector-only RAG often fails. It captures similarity but misses st Read more ›

Enterprises building and deploying agents have a problem: it’s taking their engineers too long to find out that an agent made a mistake, and the loop has continued to perpetuate, especially without a human at every step. LangSmith, the monitoring and evaluation platform from LangChain, launched a new capability in public beta that could make that issue more manageable. LangSmith Engine automates the entire chain by detecting production failures, diagnosing... Read more ›

Four supply-chain incidents hit OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta in 50 days: three adversary-driven attacks and one self-inflicted packaging failure. None targeted the model, and all four exposed the same gap: release pipelines, dependency hooks, CI runners, and packaging gates that no system card, AISI evaluation, or Gray Swan red-team exercise has ever scoped.On May 11, 2026, a self-propagating worm called Mini Shai-Hulud published 84 malicious package versions across 42 @tanstack/*...

Redis built its name as the caching layer that kept web applications from collapsing under load. The problem it is targeting now has the same structure but is harder to solve: production AI agents failing not because the models are wrong, but because the data underneath them is scattered, stale and structured for humans rather than machines. Retrieval pipelines built for single queries cannot absorb the volume agents generate.The gap... Read more ›

Although it was already discovered by intrepid AI power users weeks ahead of the official unveiling today at Google's annual I/O developer conference, the company's new Gemini Omni model marks a significantly new paradigm in the wider AI and tech marketplace.That's because as its "omni" (from the Latin omne — meaning "all") prefix would suggest, this is Google's first truly native, multimodal model, that is "a model that can create...

Google unveiled Gemini 3.5 Flash at its annual I/O developer conference on Tuesday, a new artificial intelligence model that the company says shatters what had become a seemingly iron law of the AI industry: that the smartest models must also be the slowest and most expensive to run.The model sits at the center of a sweeping set of announcements — from a video-generating "world model" called Gemini Omni to a...

For a quarter century, the Google search box has been one of the most recognizable interfaces in computing: a thin white rectangle, a blinking cursor, a few typed words, and a list of blue links. On Tuesday, Google will formally retire that paradigm.At its annual I/O developer conference, Google announced a sweeping redesign of the search box itself — the literal text field where billions of queries begin every day...
