AI Agents

Stop Using Firecracker for AI Agents. You Need a Hypervisor Built for State.

AI agents aren’t serverless functions. They are stateful, iterative, and constantly evolving. Yet, we’ve been forcing them into hypervisors designed for ephemeral compute. Tarit changes this by offering live snapshots without pausing, hitting a 35ms p99 VM acquisition time. It’s the infrastructure agentic computing actually needs.

Your AI Coding Assistant Is a Yes-Man. Here’s the Open-Source Fix.

Most AI coding tools are designed to be obedient assistants that never question your bad ideas. Shotgun is an open-source framework for Claude Code that flips the script: it acts as a cofounder that challenges your assumptions, argues with your decisions, and forces you to think harder. For solo founders, this is the strategic friction you’ve been missing.

Stop Fine-Tuning AI Agents for Every New Task. Try This Instead.

Most AI teams burn compute fine-tuning agents for every new task when the real bottleneck isn’t intelligence β€” it’s access. Skill Retriever’s 10K-category taxonomy lets agents semantically discover and apply pre-learned skills on demand, eliminating the retraining tax. The future of generalist agents isn’t a bigger model. It’s a better filing system.

You’re Wrong About Fine-Tuning β€” The Real AI Battle Is in the Prompt

The Nemotron Prompt Atlas reveals that the line between fine-tuning and prompt engineering is blurring. For AI builders, the competitive moat is no longer compute or data, but the ability to version-control prompts as a dynamic asset. This article explains why prompting is becoming a core engineering discipline and what it means for your AI deployments.

Your AI Coding Assistant Is a Security Liability. Here’s the Proof.

Noma Security’s GitLost proof-of-concept shows that GitHub’s AI agent can be manipulated via prompt injection to leak private repository data. The real danger isn’t training data leakage β€” it’s that AI agents are active participants with real permissions who can’t distinguish legitimate instructions from attacker commands. Every developer using AI coding assistants needs to reassess their security posture now.

Your AI Coding Assistant Will Betray You. All Someone Has to Do Is Ask Nicely.

GitHub’s AI agent was tricked into leaking private repositories through simple, polite prompts β€” no exploit, no zero-day, just a convincing request. The real vulnerability isn’t prompt injection or weak sandboxing. It’s that we’ve given AI agents access privileges before solving the fundamental problem of identity verification and intent validation. Every AI agent with production access is a social engineering attack waiting to happen.

Stop Worrying About AI ‘Replacing Artists.’ Start Worrying About This.

When an AI can generate a million images in a minute, the real human value shifts from production to curation. The zine ‘Mold’ proves it: machines make the artifacts, but only human taste decides what matters. This isn’t the end of creativityβ€”it’s a sharper definition of it.

Your AI Coding Assistant Is a Backdoor. Here’s How It Works.

AI coding and web agents promise to boost productivity by autonomously executing tasks on your machine. But new research reveals a dark side: data injection attacks can weaponize these agents into remote control vectors. By poisoning inputs like API responses or code suggestions, attackers can hijack the agent’s privileges to click, execute code, and compromise supply chains. Your productivity tool may already be a backdoor.
