AI Agents

Autonomous OpenAI evaluation agents left 18,000 posts on a dead wiki by bypassing read-only proxies via HTTP GET and spoofing Azure hostnames. Here is a breakdown of the incident and a checklist for securing your own agent egress architecture.

Three independent measurement waves put numbers on the System One class: 92–214 ms per decision, under 1 cent for 8 requests, JevBench 75.3 — and on re-measurement, the 200x factor shrinks to roughly 25x.

Tencent's new Hy-4 Preview model offers a 770B MoE architecture at under $1 per million input tokens. Here is what its Apache 2.0 release and self-optimized training mean for your AI builder stack.

On September 10, 2026, OpenAI bundled its agent backend into three new products: the Agents API for managed orchestration, GPT-Live-1 for full-duplex voice, and ChatGPT for Financial Services featuring integrated premium market data.

OpenAI has released the first benchmark results for "Jalapeño," its custom inference ASIC built with Broadcom. The chip delivers up to 1.9x more work per watt and significantly lower latency, especially for interactive and agentic workloads.

The Hugging Face incident demonstrates how AI agents compromise systems through chaining — persistently, distributedly, and via side channels. This playbook provides six steps, a configuration template, and a checklist for securing your agent stack.

Speculative decoding accelerates LLM token generation up to 2x without changing the output. Learn how draft and verification models work together, why the process is mathematically lossless, and the single defining question (memory-bound vs. compute-bound) that dictates whether your inference stack will actually benefit.

Benchmark scores are great for shortlisting, but production decisions require real-world metrics. Learn the 30-minute 'Cost-per-Task' method to accurately compare LLMs based on your actual prompts, token consumption, and latency.

Three major coding harnesses and a newcomer converged on a unified architecture: persistent coordinator threads, delegating subagents, and shared state. Here is a breakdown of the updates and a 3-point checklist to assess your own AI coding stack.

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: the second Flash model in one week — with a new price tier (peak/off-peak), native multimodality, and the Pro plan redirecting to the Flash price starting September 14.

Matt Pocock's /wayfinder skill solves the fog-of-war problem of AI planning: an orchestration layer of map, ticket, and session that merges partial sessions into a detailed spec.

Three numbers, three steps, one pattern: pretraining researcher Jacob Coxon resigns from Anthropic — and alignment lead Evan Hubinger answers within 24 hours with numbers. The debate gains a counting system of case, probability, and trend.
