LiteLLM HAS BEEN COMPROMISED, DO NOT UPDATE. We just discovered that LiteLLM pypi release 1.82.8. It has been compromised, it contains litellm_init.pth with base64 encoded instructions to send all the credentials it can find to remote server + self-replicate. link below


NEW COLUMN: Did everyone forget that Marco Rubio is the White House national security adviser? That means that more than any American official except President Trump, he's responsible for how the Iran war is going. So why is his political star on the rise? politico.com/news/magazine/…



Maps like this are truly a lost art.

This story may “raise insider-trading concerns” broadly, but it likely won’t be cause for concern at Polymarket HQ. As I write in my recent gambling story, insider trading is a feature of these platforms, not a bug. theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

I’ve been banging the drum on this for weeks. Taiwan will go into a blackout soon.

everyone is wrong about why sora is cancelled sora 2 is last-gen tech. seedance2 is 10x better and will be rolled out in the US in the next few days trained on tiktok which has more video data than anyone else on earth. openai can’t compete

The White House is (truly) winning the oil jawboning battle against Tehran — still to be seen if Trump would win the physical oil market war. But to see Brent trading at sub-$100 a barrel (and WTI below $90) after 25 days of Hormuz almost full closure is almost surreal.

I hit my limits very quick this week - even with 20x pro plan. It makes my claude code unusable A good reason to do more stuff with Codex!

almost forgot that qwen is dead the chinese top dogs are now moonshot, deepseek and bytedance

FYI — being “deep in Shenzhen” actually means being boots on the ground in Dongguan at the manufacturing line. Not in Huaqiangbei neighborhood.

This is so sudden, and OpenAI so huge, that shutting down their prolific video generating app short-notice screams to me that a big, big, big lawsuit happened / is happening that they feel they must avoid at all costs.


We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing. We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work. – The Sora Team
