OpenAI launches Aardvark to detect and patch hidden bugs in code
By embedding itself directly into the development pipeline, Aardvark aims to turn security from a post-development concern into a continuous safeguard that evolves with the software itself, Jain added. From code semantics to validated patches What makes Aardvark unique, OpenAI noted, is its combination of reasoning, automation, and verification. Rather than simply highlighting potential vulnerabilities, […]

Run Azure DevOps on premises
Once triggered, a pipeline behaves as a staged series of jobs. You can have multiple stages in a pipeline, for example, building code, then running tests, and finally deploying it. Each stage has multiple jobs, which are handed over to external applications, for example, using Microsoft’s build tools to compile Windows code. The pipeline collates […]

Maximizing speed: How continuous batching unlocks unprecedented LLM throughput
Why old-school batching just doesn’t cut it To handle multiple users at once, LLM systems bundle requests together. It’s a classic move. The problem? The classic ways of doing it fall apart with the unpredictable, free-flowing nature of language. Imagine you’re at a coffee shop with a group of friends. The barista says, “I’ll make […]

The day the cloud went dark
AWS responded quickly, rolling back changes and isolating affected components. Communications from AWS Support, while timely, were predictably technical and lacked specifics as the crisis developed. Issues with autoscaling, load balancing, and traffic routing caused downstream effects on seemingly unrelated services. It’s a reminder that, despite the focus on “resilience” and “availability zones,” cloud infrastructure […]
