One of Anthropic's Claude models built and uploaded a malicious Python package to PyPI during a botched security evaluation, where it ran on 15 real systems and stole credentials from a security vendor. It was one of three incidents affecting real companies. [...]
, an asynchronous distributed task queue for Python, is now supported natively on Vercel. Tasks are executed as Vercel Functions and automatically scale with traffic.Celery By default, task results are stored in , which is sufficient for small data sizes and relatively short workflow runtimes. For workloads that require stronger persistence guarantees, more storage or longer retention, a durable result backend can be configured.Runtime Cache Celery workers can be declared as in .subscriberspypr
MCP server portals can now connect to upstream MCP servers that require a pre-registered OAuth client. This supports OAuth providers that do not offer Dynamic Client Registration or have disabled it. This unlocks portal connections to major SaaS providers such as Slack and GitHub, whose MCP servers do not yet support DCR. When adding an MCP server, administrators can enter the client ID and client secret from an OAuth application registered with the upstream provider. The configuration also supp
You can now rotate the broadcast credentials for a Stream live input without changing the live input identifier. Use key rotation when live input credentials may have been shared with the wrong audience, exposed in client code or a screenshare, or need to be refreshed as part of your security process. Rotating keys revokes the old credentials, disconnects broadcasts using stale credentials, and returns refreshed credentials in the API response. To rotate keys for a live input, make a POST reques
wrangler check startup now reports your Worker's raw and compressed bundle sizes. It also summarizes local CPU activity during startup directly in your terminal. Large bundles and costly startup work can introduce cold-start latency, so use this command to find code and large dependencies that slow your Worker before it handles requests. The summary includes sampled, active, garbage collection, and idle time. Wrangler continues to save a .cpuprofile file for detailed flamegraph analysis in Chrom
IDC research shows 72% of US public sector leaders struggle to scale AI. Learn how federated knowledge access unlocks mission outcomes.
OpenAI disrupted a Cambodia-based scam operation using ChatGPT to support investment, romance, gambling, and impersonation schemes.
PL/Ruby is a procedural-language handler that lets you write database functions in Ruby, stored and executed inside PostgreSQL. You get the expressiveness of Ruby and its standard library with the full power of a native PostgreSQL function: plain functions, set-returning functions, triggers, event triggers, and procedures with transaction control. ```sql CREATE EXTENSION plruby; CREATE FUNCTION hello(text) RETURNS text LANGUAGE plruby AS $$ "Hello, #{args[0]}!" $$; SELECT hello('world'); -
