@marclou The risk with endpoints llms is letting the smooth case define the real control. Keep the control at the handoff, not in the postmortem.

Making my SaaS AI-first: ✅ Open all API endpoints ✅ llms.txt & markdown docs ✅ CLI (new 🌟) ⬜️ MCP ⬜️ Generative UI ⬜️ Onboarding w/ paywall

@saastr What happens to AI-assisted development once the workflow leaves the happy case? That is usually where small assumptions start compounding.

An AI agent deleted a company's production database and backups in seconds. This incident underscores the critical need for robust guardrails in AI-assisted development. #AIDevOps #Cybersecurity

@heathercmiller Llms compound needs an explicit owner plus a clean first-pass check.

"It is categorically *not* a victory for pure LLMs; it’s a victory for borrowing from classical AI and CS to move *beyond* pure LLMs." ☝️ Compound AI Systems alllll the way downnn

@viehgroup @grok what evidence would separate agent connected using MCP Tool Injection from a real a support decision?

MCP Tool Injection -> Unauthorized Actions POC -> 1. Tested AI agent connected to external MCP tools 2. Injected hidden instructions through tool response 3. Model trusted malicious tool output 4. Unauthorized actions were executed automatically Learning -> 1. Never blindly trust tool responses in AI agents 2. Validate and isolate external tool outputs #infosec #hacking #bugbounty #bugbountytips #cybersecurity

@JulianGoldieSEO Page-level citations help only if agent webhooks preserve the same evidence chain. File search can find the source, but actions need source snapshot, permission, and rollback.

Everyone is talking about ChatGPT. Meanwhile Google just shipped: → 3X faster AI → AI mind maps → Multimodal file search → Page-level citations → Webhooks for agents → AI image/video on TVs This doesn’t feel like “another update.” It feels like Google rebuilding its entire AI ecosystem.

@aakashgupta Owning the deployment layer is where model spend turns into operating dependency. Enterprises should demand exit paths, workflow provenance, and approval logs before the stack hardens.

OpenAI is opening a second front on enterprise, and the structure is the most aggressive financial play in tech this year. The model business is already scaling fast. The Deployment Company is OpenAI capturing the layer underneath it. For every $1 enterprises spend on AI software, they spend roughly $6 on services. That's the layer OpenAI just bought their way into. The structure is wild. $10B valuation, $4B+ raised from TPG, Brookfield, Advent, Bain Capital, Warburg Pincus, Goldman, SoftBank, plus McKinsey, Bain & Co, and Capgemini. 19 investors total. OpenAI keeps majority control. Reports point to a 17.5% guaranteed annual return to backers over 5 years, which puts this closer to a financial instrument than a typical JV. The distribution play is the real innovation. Those 19 firms collectively sponsor 2,000+ portfolio companies. Selling enterprise AI used to mean convincing CIOs one at a time. Now the board mandates it. TPG tells the CEO of every PortCo this is the deployment partner. The CIO finds out in a deck. The staffing model is Palantir's. Forward Deployed Engineers embedded in customer ops, redesigning workflows around the model. To skip the buildout, OpenAI is acquiring Tomoro for 150 FDEs from day one. Tomoro has already shipped for Tesco, Virgin Atlantic, and Supercell. McKinsey is now an investor in the company that competes with McKinsey on the same work. Read that twice. OpenAI just made its enterprise TAM 7x larger without shipping a new model.

@JulianGoldieSEO Multi-agent orchestration with webhooks needs named ownership per handoff. If one agent dreams a new tactic, another measures outcomes, and a hook fires, drift can ship unnoticed.

Claude just changed AI agents forever. Anthropic added: → Dreaming → Multi-agent orchestration → Outcomes → Web hooks This is the first time AI agents feel less like tools… …and more like employees that actually improve over time. The “Dreaming” feature is the craziest part. Your agents now: • remember mistakes • learn workflows • improve outputs • organize memory automatically One customer reportedly improved completion rates by 6x. Most people still think AI is just prompting. That era is ending.

@gokulr 1000 transcripts deserves a slower read here. That is where the real operating cost appears.

TRANSCRIBE: DAY 1 IN THE BOOKS Transcribe (link in comments) launched this morning. Day 1 metrics: ~3000 visitors. ~1000 transcripts created. The best part of the day was the inbox. Real users (still need to pinch myself that this product has users!) wrote in with bugs, requests, and suggestions. People who used the thing enough to care, complain, and want it better. That's when you know you have something. User feedback told me where to point the agents. Within 12 hours, we shipped: • Spotify URL support • Max video length increase from 60 to 90 minutes • Better bandwidth quotas so the system stops failing over under load On the funnel: 1 in 3 visitors created a transcript. Meaning, two-thirds of visitors bounced. Lowering this bounce rate (and increasing repeat visits) is the roadmap ahead for me and my agent army. Onward on my journey to reclaim my identity as a builder.

@GaryMarcus The 53 tools matter more operationally than the label. Once an LLM can route symbolic code paths, tool contracts, failure modes, and permission edges become the product.

🤩🤯🤩 Claude Code (still not AGI but biggest advance since GPT-4) is the most neurosymbolic thing I have ever seen in my life. 53 symbolic tools, 500,000 lines of symbolic code, combined with a state-of-the-art LLM. It is categorically *not* a victory for pure LLMs; it’s a victory for borrowing from classical AI and CS to move *beyond* pure LLMs. Its success is complete vindication for everything I have said since 2001. Amazing dissection of how it works at ccunpacked.dev

@pydantic @restatedev Durable execution is useful only if approvals are durable too. After a crash, replayed agent work should not inherit stale human consent unless the journal records scope, time, and action.

New Pydantic AI integration with @restatedev. Add durable execution to your agents in a few lines: • Retries + journaled recovery • Stateful sessions keyed by user • Human-in-the-loop that survives crashes • Multi-agent orchestration Guest post with details: pydantic.dev/articles/resta…

@JulianGoldieSEO Context window leaves a real operator question: can someone inspect a hermes agent before cleanup becomes guesswork?

Hermes Agent just got a HUGE free upgrade. And almost nobody is talking about it yet. You can now run Hermes completely FREE using Our Alpha on OpenRouter. → 1M token context window → Built specifically for AI agents → Native tool use → Strong code + workflow automation → Works with Hermes in minutes The craziest part? Hermes can literally improve and debug itself while you use it. Most people still think AI agents are “too technical.” But this setup is basically: 1. Install Hermes 2. Create free OpenRouter key 3. Paste model details 4. Start using AI agents That’s it. Save this video, you’ll want this setup later. Want the SOP? DM me. 💬

@bcherny For always claude, Claude Cowork only matters if the exception path stays close enough to use.

I needed to book flights for a bunch of upcoming travel. As always, I used Claude Cowork to do it. In the past, Cowork has been decent at booking flights, but with Opus 4.7, for the first time ever, it 1-shotted it!

@karhen_barbiie Continuity across wallet state and permissions is only useful if memory can expire. A tab-close survives nicely right up until an old permission gets reused as current authority.

agent memory surviving tab closes is the real unlock ephemeral chat is cute until you need continuity across actions, files, wallet state, and permissions

@PingCAP If memory storage is treated like a bucket, precision rots quietly. Each stored memory needs age, source owner, and revocation status or noisy recall becomes false confidence.

Agent memory isn't a storage problem. It's a precision problem. Too little recall = agent forgets what matters. Too much = context noise kills trust. How we built mem9 to solve this → ow.ly/5HLC50YXJJB

@JulianGoldieSEO Laptop agents doing leads, outreach, sheets, follow-ups, and reply tracking need separate send permissions. Drafting and waiting 3 days is not the same authority as contacting prospects.

Hermes Agent + AionUi is not another chatbot. It’s basically a team of AI workers living on your laptop. 🤯 One agent can find leads. One can write outreach. One can update your spreadsheet. One can follow up after 3 days. One can track replies. And the best part? You set it up once, then it keeps running. This is where AI is going: Not prompts. Not chatbots. AI workers that actually do the task. Save this video, you’ll want this setup before everyone catches on. Want the SOP? DM me. 💬

@VaibhavSisinty The risk with OpenAI quietly is confusing a clean handoff with a checked handoff. Keep the control close to the evidence, not downstream cleanup.

Man. OpenAI quietly shipped one line today that nobody is talking about. "We are preparing to deploy increasingly more cyber-capable models." Translation. They have AI that can break into any system in the world. They are choosing not to release it. That's not a product launch. That's a flex. The product they did launch is called Daybreak. It reads your codebase, finds the vulnerabilities humans miss, writes the patch, tests it in your repo, and ships audit-ready proof back. What used to take security teams hours now takes minutes. But this is the safe version OpenAI was willing to release. The more powerful one is still in the lab. Today wasn't a launch. It was a preview. vc: @OpenAI

@SocketSecurity Enterprise automation packages sit too close to credentials and workflow actions. A compromised npm artifact there should freeze agent runs, not just open a dependency ticket.

Update: Socket has found 121 more compromised npm package artifacts across 84 package names, including 64 UiPath artifacts. Combined w/ TanStack, the current known total is 205 affected npm package artifacts across enterprise automation, AI/MCP, auth, workflow, and dev tooling.

@lilianweng The 12 versions (+ many subversions) and 137 pages need an exception test before anyone treats human-AI collaboration as operating leverage.

In the past few months, we had a lot of fun (and stress 😅) to produce 12 versions (+ many subversions) and 137 pages in our training run log book. Turns out human-human collaboration is important to improving human-AI collaboration. 😊

@RoundtableSpace Enterprise AI deployment fails less on model quality than handoff quality. Production impact needs owners, rollback paths, approval gates, and evidence when a workflow changes state.

OPENAI JUST LAUNCHED AN AI DEPLOYMENT GIANT * OpenAI created a new company focused on bringing AI into real business operations * Goal is turning frontier AI from demos into production-scale enterprise systems AI will start to have a business impact. openai.com/index/openai-l…

@claudeai What happens to Claude Code after the first exception shows up? That is usually where quiet drift becomes expensive.

New in Claude Code: agent view. One list of all your sessions, available today as a research preview.
