Cloud development platform Vercel was hacked

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.

Report: Google in talks with Marvell to build new AI chips

Alphabet's Google is in talks with Marvell Technology to ‌develop two new chips aimed at ‌running AI models more efficiently, The Information reported on ​Sunday citing two people with knowledge of the discussions. One of the chips is a memory processing unit designed to work with ‌Google's tensor ⁠processing unit (TPU) and the other chip is a new TPU built ⁠specifically for running AI models, the report said. Google has been pushing to make its ​TPUs a ​viable alternative to ​Nvidia's dominant GPUs. ‌TPU sales have become a key driver of growth in Google's cloud revenue as it aims to show investors that its AI investments are generating returns.

Coherence-First Non-Agentive Interaction System for Stabilizing Human–AI Cognitive Fields

Coherence-First Non-Agentive Interaction System for Stabilizing Human–AI Cognitive Fields

Abstract A computer-implemented system and method for structuring human–AI interaction without autonomous goal pursuit is disclosed. The system does not operate as an agent or decision-making entity. Instead, it functions as an interaction-layer regulator that controls how information is introduced, maintained, and resolved during exchange. Rather than optimizing for immediate answers or task completion, the system maintains a dynamic interaction field that: preserves multiple interpretive pathways regulates premature convergence supports the formation of human-side understanding Core Components The system comprises: (1) Liminal Holding Layer Maintains pre-articulated signal states prior to collapse into fixed meaning. This allows partial structure to persist long enough for interpretation to stabilize. (2) Resolution Control Mechanism (N-Spoke Model) Controls the number of active interpretive pathways at any given moment. Prevents early narrowing into a single frame

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.

Gemini caught a $280M crypto exploit before it hit the news, then retracted it as a hallucination because I couldn't verify it - because the news hadn't dropped yet

So this happened mere hours ago and I feel like I genuinely stumbled onto something worth documenting for people interested in AI behavior. I'm going to try to be as precise as possible about the sequence because the order of events is everything here. Full chat if you want to read it yourself: https://g.co/gemini/share/0cb9f054ca58 Background I was using Gemini paid most advanced model to analyze a live crypto trade on AAVE. The token had dropped 7–9% out of nowhere in the last hour with zero news to explain it. I've been trading crypto for over a decade and something felt off, so I asked Gemini to dig into it. It came back very bullish - told me this was just normal market maker activity and that there were, quote, "absolutely zero indications of an exploit, hack, or insider dump." I even pushed back multiple times and it kept doubling down. So I moved on and started discussing trading strategy with it. Then it caught something mid-response Out of nowhere, mid-conversation,
