Earlier this week, JFrog disclosed CVE-2025-6514, a critical vulnerability in the mcp-remote project that could allow an attacker to “trigger arbitrary OS command execution on the machine running mcp-remote when it initiates a connection to an untrusted MCP server.” Mcp-remote is a project that allows LLM hosts to communicate with remote MCP servers, even if … continue reading
Gemini API gets Batch Mode Batch Mode allows large jobs to be submitted through the Gemini API. Results are returned within 24 hours, and the delayed processing offers benefits like a 50% reduction in cost and higher rate limits. “Batch Mode is the perfect tool for any task where you have your data ready upfront … continue reading
We’ve come a long way since Google’s Site Reliability Engineering book reframed uptime as an engineering discipline nearly a decade ago. Observability and automation have made building and running complex software systems saner and more reliable. What they haven’t done, though, is change the fundamentally reactive nature of troubleshooting production systems. AI agents may change that equation. … continue reading
Docker has updated Compose with new features that will make it easier for developers to build, ship, and run AI agents. Developers can define open models, agents, and MCP-compatible tools in a compose.yaml file and then spin up an agentic stack with a single command: docker compose up. Compose integrates with several agentic frameworks, including … continue reading
AI adoption is saving developers a significant amount of time, but several friction points still exist throughout the software development life cycle that developers are still losing time to. According to Atlassian’s 2025 State of Developer Experience report, 99% of developers are saving time by using AI, and 68% save at least 10 hours a … continue reading
Coder is announcing the launch of its AI cloud development environments (CDEs), bringing together IDEs, dynamic policy governance, and agent orchestration into a single platform. According to Coder, current development infrastructure was built for humans, not agents, and agents have different requirements to be successful. “Agents need secure environments, granular permissions, fast boot times, and … continue reading

Anthropic is calling for the creation of an AI transparency framework that can be applied to large AI developers to ensure accountability and safety. “As models advance, we have an unprecedented opportunity to accelerate scientific discovery, healthcare, and economic growth. Without safe and responsible development, a single catastrophic failure could halt progress for decades. Our … continue reading
Cloudflare now blocks AI crawlers by default, introduces pay per crawl model Last year, Cloudflare introduced a setting that allowed website owners to block AI crawlers. Now, the company is announcing that this setting will now be the default rather than a user needing to switch it on. The company explained that by switching to … continue reading
In the grand scheme of software development, platform engineering is a relatively new discipline. As such, platform engineering teams are still figuring out best practices and messing up along the way. In a talk at PlatformCon 2025 last week, Camille Fournier, CTO of Open Athena and co-author (alongside Ian Nowland) of the book “Platform Engineering: … continue reading
Mirantis is introducing an AI-powered copilot into its Kubernetes IDE Lens. With Lens Prism, developers will be able to use natural language to troubleshoot and operate their Kubernetes clusters. Developers can ask questions like “What’s wrong with my pod?”, “How much CPU is this namespace using?” or “Is anything failing in my cluster?” Lens Prism … continue reading
