/7 Drop-in for SGLang, vLLM, and TensorRT-LLM. No code refactoring. SGLang: --speculative-algorithm DFLASH --speculative-draft-model-path z-lab/Qwen3-8B-DFlash-b16 vLLM: via the Speculators library (docs.vllm.ai/projects/specu…, algorithm "dflash") MIT license.

Diffusion LLMs have been losing to autoregressive models for two years. UC San Diego just found the one thing they're actually better at: not generating, drafting. DFlash hits 6x lossless acceleration on Qwen3-8B. 2.5x faster than EAGLE-3. Check out the detailed breakdown below!

/5 Loop engineering has been everywhere lately. This 14-step guide shows what it actually means to move from prompting coding agents by hand to designing systems that prompt, verify, remember state, and keep running without you babysitting every turn. It covers the basics of loops, when they are actually worth building, the core pieces like automations, skills, worktrees, connectors, sub-agents, and state files, plus the failure modes that turn “agentic workflows” into expensive chaos. x.com/0xCodez/status…

/5 OpenAI launches GPT-5.5-Cyber to scan, patch, and fix vulnerable code at scale. GPT-5.5-Cyber is a specialized model that scored 85.6% on CyberGym (vs 81.8% for standard GPT-5.5). It is gated to verified defenders only, not open access. Plugged into Codex, the new Codex Security plugin lets you run end-to-end security workflows without switching tools: Since its research preview, Codex Security has scanned 30 million commits across 30,000+ codebases.
