Cloud development platform Vercel was hacked
Vercel, a major development platform that hosts and deploys web apps, was compromised, and the hackers are attempting to sell stolen data. A person claiming to be a member of ShinyHunters, which was behind the recent hack of Rockstar Games, posted some data online, including employee names, email addresses, and activity time stamps. Vercel confirmed in a post on X that a "security incident" had occurred, and that it impacted a "limited subset" of its customers. Vercel said that a compromised third-party AI tool was the avenue for attack, though it did not specify which third-party was involved. We've identified a security incident that inv … Read the full story at The Verge.

FD-NL2SQL: Feedback-Driven Clinical NL2SQL that Improves with Use
arXiv:2604.15646v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinicians exploring oncology trial repositories often need ad-hoc, multi-constraint queries over biomarkers, endpoints, interventions, and time, yet writing SQL requires schema expertise. We demo FD-NL2SQL, a feedback-driven clinical NL2SQL assistant for SQLite-based oncology databases. Given a natural-language question, a schema-aware LLM decomposes it into predicate-level sub-questions, retrieves semantically similar expert-verified NL2SQL exemplars via sentence embeddings, and synthesizes executable SQL conditioned on the decomposition, retrieved exemplars, and schema, with post-processing validity checks. To improve with use, FD-NL2SQL incorporates two update signals: (i) clinician edits of generated SQL are approved and added to the exemplar bank; and (ii) lightweight logic-based SQL augmentation applies a single atomic mutation (e.g., operator or column change), retaining variants only if they return non-empty results.

Ask HN: Is giving AI agents DB access the new BI-tool problem?
A couple of early-to-mid-stage startups I'm consulting with are asking the same question: their AI/ML team wants production Postgres data, and nobody's quite sure how to give it to them. I've handled this before for BI teams — read replica with a generous `max_standby_streaming_delay` and `hot_standby_feedback` on, accepting the occasional bloat on the primary. Worked fine. But the AI/ML ask feels different in ways I can't fully articulate yet, which is part of why I'm asking. A few things I'm trying to calibrate: Where does the agent actually connect? Primary with RLS, read replica, warehouse (Snowflake/BigQuery/Redshift), lakehouse (Iceberg/Delta on S3), or something else? If you're not doing this — is it compliance, cost fear, bad experiences (runaway queries, PII in prompts), or something else? And the one I'm most curious about: does this actually feel different from giving BI tools DB access, or is it the same problem wearing new clothes? Not looking for product recommendations.

First token counts reveal Opus 4.7 costs significantly more than 4.6 despite Anthropic's flat pricing
Anthropic's Opus 4.7 matches its predecessor's per-token price, but each request ends up costing significantly more. The reason: a new tokenizer that breaks the same text into up to 47 percent more tokens. Early measurements show what that shift means in practice for Claude Code users.

How much to charge for an AI Agent?
Hey guys, I've built a workflow that I want to give to my client, it goes as follows: They have hundreds of freelancers that work with kids that need special care. The freelancers are filling our forms by hand and kids do the same. Now I've built a script that reads these handwritings, combines that to a excel sheet and matches the freelancer with the kids. Since I have Anthropic api cost, I want to price that service monthly, but I don't know how much. I'm thinking to offer this for $350/month. What do you guys think? What is fair, but still acceptable? submitted by /u/lukaszadam_com [link] [comments]
