Almost 2 months ago, OpenAI introduced Daybreak for Frontline Defenders, a $1B subsidy for access to Daybreak cyber models and products. That funding came into use almost immediately, as major vulnerabilities in PHP were independently discovered by two parties: Ryan Austin, a researcher at the security firm Calif, as…

AI agents need the institutional knowledge experienced employees rely on: why a system works a certain way, which policies apply, and what never made it into the documentation. Capturing that knowledge is hard. Keeping it useful as people and agents add more may be harder. In this episode, Ahmad Al-Dahle, CTO of…

For the last few weeks I’ve used Claude Mods to mold Claude Code to my AI engineering workflow. Claude Code is great out of the box, but every engineering workflow is different. Claude Mods let you make Claude Code yours, in the way you want to pay attention. The “paying attention” part is now the most important…

Last year , Alex Lieberman and his cofounder joined us to explain Tenex’s unusual bet: pay AI engineers for the work they deliver, rather than the hours they spend at a keyboard. If AI makes an engineer faster, an hourly rate can make the engineer less money for the same job. Tenex wanted the incentives to run the…
