In this episode of The New CISO, host Steve Moore welcomes Sherri Douville for a conversation that sits outside the show's usual lane — less war story, more blueprint. Sherri works alongside CISOs rather than inside the role, and arrives with a pointed argument about what the job is becoming.She starts with why TTIC exists. IEEE UL 2933 gave healthcare a full-stack standard for clinical IoT device and data interoperability, but a standard on paper does nothing until it is adopted, implemented, and maintained. Getting there in a high-reliability industry means pulling in CIOs, CISOs, physicians, and engineers — and, Sherri admits, negotiating turf wars with bodies who assume you have come for their territory.Then the headline: how to make security cool. Sherri's answer starts with visibility — getting CISOs onto stages, onto podcasts, and into print in front of clinical leadership. Underneath it is a claim about trust. In healthcare, trust is the core of the business rather than an adjacent concern, which makes the CISO its natural steward. With AI pushing trust to the center of every industry, she argues that is the opening to become the rock star of the C-suite.Steve raises a banking CISO's framing of AI as a curious seven-year-old with a gun. Sherri pushes back on the spot: her analogy is the gifted teenager — capable, resource-hungry, and badly in need of direction. That leads to her real thesis. Scarce expertise used to carry economic value, and AI is rapidly compressing the worth of expert analysis. What appreciates instead is judgment, authority, execution, verification, organizational integration, and ownership of the outcome. Executives do not want more reports; they want the security problem to go away without adding coordination burden.The last stretch turns practical. Sherri walks through running Exabeam's open-source Praxen against Medigram's own code — painless to run, with remediation effort scaling to whatever standard you are chasing — and pairs it with Observra for continuous runtime telemetry. She closes on why it matters: when systems go down in a hospital, the real damage is not the outage hour but the fortnight of delays, miscommunications, and pile-up that follows for clinicians and patients.Key TopicsWhy standards bodies stall at adoption, not authorshipMaking security “cool”: visibility, stages, and executive presenceTrust as the core of the business in high-reliability industriesThe gifted teenager vs. the curious seven-year-old with a gunJudgment, authority, execution, verification, integration, ownershipSelective depth and the player-coach executiveRunning Praxen pre-deployment; Observra for runtime telemetryWhat a healthcare outage really costs, 14 to 20 days outGuest BioSherri Douville is CEO and Architect of Medigram and Founder and Chair of the Trustworthy Technology & Innovation Consortium (TTIC). She co-chairs the Trust subgroup of IEEE UL 2933 (TIPPSS), the standard for trust in clinical IoT. Medigram builds and operates Darwin, a governed AI decision platform whose agentic fleet runs in production and writes a sealed governance record at the moment of every agent action — an auditable trail for counsel, courts, insurers, and credit rating agencies. Sherri spent over a decade at Johnson & Johnson across a dozen disease states before physician leaders pulled her into healthcare IT and AI. She calls herself an accidental technologist: a domain expert who got into the code, logging 200 GitHub commits across June and July.GET A DEMO:
Anish Acharya joins Jen Kha to break down the next frontier of AI, from the evolving model landscape and open-source AI to why the application layer, and consumer AI in particular, may be entering a new phase. Anish explains why he believes there will be multiple winners at the model layer, why traditional moats like network effects, scale, and brand still matter, and how companies can choose between frontier and open-weight models depending on the economics of the task. They also explore why models are increasingly specializing, and how applications can combine different types of intelligence to create products that are more valuable than any single model. The conversation then turns to consumer AI: personal agents that can shop and manage your inbox, coding tools enabling a new generation of small businesses, and why Anish thinks we're seeing a renaissance for consumer builders. They also discuss the changing economics of AI software, the rise of "luxury software," and why the biggest risk for today's founders may no longer be thinking too big, but thinking too small.

Topics covered in this episode: Web UIs for your reverse proxy Wagtail 8.0 is hot off the presses RISC-V is now officially supported by CPython Django's annual releases make every version an LTS Extras Joke Watch on YouTube About the show Sponsored by Logfire from Pydantic: pythonbytes.fm/logfire Connect with the hosts Michael: Mastodon / BlueSky / X / LinkedIn Calvin: Mastodon / BlueSky / X / LinkedIn Show: Mastodon / BlueSky / X Join us on YouTube at pythonbytes.fm/live to be part of the audience. Usually Tuesday at 7am PT. Older video versions available there too. Finally, if you want an artisanal, hand-crafted digest of every week of the show notes in email form? Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Michael #1: Web UIs for your reverse proxy Traefik, nginx, and Caddy all sit in front of a lot of self-hosted infrastructure, and all three are configured by hand-editing files. Three active projects put a control plane on top: Traefik Manager (Python + Flask), Nginx UI (Go + Vue), and caddy/ui (React + Node). All three are additive rather than replacements - none of them take ownership of your config away from you - which is the part that matters when the thing has write access to production routing. Traefik Manager is the Python one: Flask 3.1 and Gunicorn for the control plane, a lightweight Go agent for remote instances, currently v1.10.0 with an Android companion app. Nginx UI is a single Go binary at 11.3k stars, with a block-style config editor, an Ace editor doing LLM completion on nginx syntax, and an MCP server so agents can drive it. caddy/ui runs as two containers next to your existing Caddy, reads and writes your Caddyfile directly, and uses Caddy's /adapt API to validate before reload - no Docker socket required. Each one edits the config the underlying server already reads, so your files stay the source of truth and you can drop the UI without unwinding anything. Undo is a first-class feature across all three - timestamped backups with optional Git history, config version compare and restore, Caddyfile snapshots with one-click rollback. Observability is where they diverge: Traefik Manager does CrowdSec and a visual route map, Nginx UI does server metrics, caddy/ui streams access logs over SSE and pulls p50/p95/p99 off Caddy's Prometheus endpoint. Maturity spread is wide - Nginx UI has 11.3k stars, caddy/ui has 4 and was built in a single Claude session - and caddy/ui ships with auth off by default, so set CADDY_UI_USER and JWT_SECRET before it goes anywhere near a public interface. Calvin #2: Wagtail 8.0 is hot off the presses Link: https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/releases/tag/v8.0 Custom base page models are now supported, so projects aren't locked into subclassing Wagtail's Page as shipped (Matt Westcott). New v3 REST API handles both read and write CMS operations, a first for Wagtail's API. A global registry for permission policies, plus full customizability for the remaining page views via PageViewSet. AVIF and WebP images are no longer auto-converted to PNG by default, a real behavior change to watch on upgrade. Five security fixes: page admin API restrictions, document identification by SHA1 hash, descendant collections in the Documents/Images API, snippet copy permissions, and the page translation endpoint. Formalized Django 6.1 support, and CI now runs on uv with a lockfile. Sponsor: Logfire from Pydantic Your AI agent failed at 2am. Was it the model? A tool call? The database? Most observability tools can't tell you, because they only see part of your stack. Pydantic Logfire sees all of it. One trace across your agents, LLMs, APIs, and database. Down to the infrastructure: services, Kubernetes, and hosts. It's built on OpenTelemetry, with SDKs for Python, TypeScript, and Rust, and it works with any OTel-compatible language. Every prompt, token count, and cost, right next to your vector searches and API calls. You query everything with Postgres-compatible SQL. And so can your coding agent, through the Logfire MCP server. Stop guessing. Read the trace. Pydantic Logfire. AI, it's still just engineering. Visit pythonbytes.fm/logfire today and sign up today. Get 10M records free every month, no card required.

Calvin #3: RISC-V is now officially supported by CPython Link: https://blog.python.org/2026/08/riscv-now-officially-supported/ CPython added RISC-V as a tier 3 platform under PEP 11, specifically the 64-bit Linux target riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu. RISC-V is an open ISA anyone can implement, unlike x86 and ARM, and its market is projected to quadruple by 2032. The RISE Project donated real RISC-V machines for buildbots; the author's work was funded by a Sovereign Tech Agency fellowship. What changes: the port is now a maintained compatibility target, so CPython changes are less likely to quietly break it. What doesn't: no python.org installers, no binary wheel parity for native extensions. Next up: RISC-V runners in CPython CI for pre-merge feedback, then a push toward tier 2, plus architecture-specific optimizations. The ask is testing. If you have RISC-V hardware, build CPython, run your test suite, file what breaks. Tier 3 is the weakest support tier. PEP 11 tier 3 requires a core developer contact and a buildbot, but failures on tier 3 platforms explicitly do not block a release. Saying "ongoing CI/testing expectations" oversells it. The honest bit is "someone is now on the hook for it, and breakage gets noticed," not "it's guaranteed working." Worth the caveat that this is Linux SBCs, not microcontrollers. A VisionFive 2 counts, an ESP32-C6 or Pico 2 does not. Those are 32-bit non-Linux parts where MicroPython is still the answer. Michael #4: Django's annual releases make every version an LTS Starting with Django 2028, Django will move to one January feature release per year, adopt calendar-based version numbers, and support every release for three years. The old distinction between standard and LTS releases disappears, giving teams a predictable annual upgrade path that aligns more closely with Python's own release and support cadence. Every Django release becomes the safe, long-supported choice, so teams no longer need to wait for a specially designated LTS version or absorb two years of changes at once. Each release gets one year of mainstream bug fixes followed by two years of security and data-loss fixes. New releases support the three latest Python versions and add the next Python release during their first year. Calendar versioning begins with Django 2028, followed by Django 2029 and so on. Three Django versions will be supported at any time, giving third-party packages a clearer rolling target. Nothing changes before 2028, and existing commitments for Django 5.2 LTS and 6.2 LTS remain in place.

Martin Casado joins MTS hosts Theo Jaffee and Sophia Dew to unpack where value is actually accruing in AI, why this technology cycle looks fundamentally different from previous waves, and whether the frontier labs will ultimately capture most of the market. Martin explains why AI has turned venture into a scale-up capital game, where small teams can productively deploy extraordinary amounts of money, and why the relationship between capital, innovation, and growth has never been tighter. He lays out the case both for and against the frontier labs dominating AI, the role of open-source and specialist models, and why applications are increasingly capturing more value. The conversation also explores model routing, AI economics, founder-market fit, and why Martin believes this may be the biggest unlock of wealth he's seen since the 1990s.

Calvin #1: Python 3.12.14, 3.11.16, 3.10.21 - security releases https://blog.python.org/2026/08/python-31214-31116-31021/ Source-only security releases for the three branches now in security-fix-only mode; release team blamed the European solar eclipse for the timing. tarfile hardening. Multiple path-traversal bypasses of the data filter closed, including a symlink escape that bypassed the CVE-2025-4330 fix; extract() now applies the filter to link targets too. Four fresh CVEs: CVE-2026-2297 (SourcelessFileLoader not using io.open_code() for .pyc), CVE-2026-4224 (expat crash on deeply nested content models), CVE-2026-3644 (control chars in http.cookies.Morsel), plus the completed CVE-2021-4189 fix in ftplib.ftpcp. Quadratic-complexity DoS cleanup across the stdlib: HTMLParser, configparser regexes, unicodedata.normalize(), csv.Sniffer.sniff(), and ElementTree XPath index predicates. Header/injection fixes: CR/LF rejected in HTTPConnection.set_tunnel(), control chars blocked in wsgiref.handlers status, and webbrowser now rejects leading dashes (plus a %action prefix bypass). http.client now caps chunked trailer lines and 1xx interim responses at 100 each - a hostile server could previously hang the client forever despite a socket timeout. Memory-safety odds and ends: stale pointers in lzma/bz2/zlib decompressors after MemoryError, a bz2 stack overflow on reuse-after-error, and bundled libexpat bumped to 2.8.3. If you're still on 3.10, 3.11, or 3.12 - and you extract tarballs from anywhere you don't fully control - this one's not optional. Michael #2: Codeberg's AI-code ban tests its role as a GitHub alternative Armin's article “Codeberg Divides” Armin Ronacher argues that Codeberg's new terms, which prohibit projects mostly written with generative AI, create a vague and difficult-to-enforce boundary. His larger concern is that a democratically governed host can still be unpredictable or ideologically narrow, weakening Codeberg's potential as a broad European alternative to GitHub. The strongest question for Python developers is whether repository hosting should judge legal open source by how code was produced, or focus on behavior and resource abuse. “Mostly generated” is hard to measure in modern codebases where developers mix handwritten code, completions, agents, and generated refactors. Ronacher suggests clearer alternatives: ban all LLM involvement, or target autonomous repository spam, abusive resource use, and low-quality generated contributions directly. Codeberg is free to choose a values-driven community, but that may conflict with being predictable, neutral infrastructure and a serious GitHub competitor. Worth discussing: can open-source communities set meaningful AI boundaries without driving maintainers and projects into opposing camps? Very first search for these terms lands on this page. Codeberg looked like a viable alternative. … Unfortunately, the latest update to its terms of service seems to mark a first step in changing one part I moved there for, namely the “freedom” part. Sponsor: Logfire from Pydantic Your AI agent failed at 2am. Was it the model? A tool call? The database? Most observability tools can't tell you, because they only see part of your stack. Pydantic Logfire sees all of it. One trace across your agents, LLMs, APIs, and database. Down to the infrastructure: services, Kubernetes, and hosts. It's built on OpenTelemetry, with SDKs for Python, TypeScript, and Rust, and it works with any OTel-compatible language. Every prompt, token count, and cost, right next to your vector searches and API calls. You query everything with Postgres-compatible SQL. And so can your coding agent, through the Logfire MCP server. Stop guessing. Read the trace. Pydantic Logfire. AI, it's still just engineering. Visit pythonbytes.fm/logfire today and sign up today. Get 10M records free every month, no card required. You can even click “Onboard with your coding agent” to copy a prompt to have claude or codex integrate Logfire into your app. Thanks to Pydantic for supporting the show. Calvin #3: Brett Cannon: what's missing for reproducible builds on PyPI Framing came out of his 2026 Python Packaging Council nomination - the secure-supply-chain gap he found is that Python has no defined way to do reproducible builds at all. Design goal is zero friction: producers uploading to PyPI shouldn't have to do anything. The work lands on build backends and installers. Gap #1: nothing records the source code a distribution came from. direct_url.json captures it when you install from a repo or archive, so the fix is putting the same info in sdist/wheel metadata. Gap #2: recording the build tools. Wheels can already do this via PEP 770 SBOMs in .dist-info/sboms/ - sdists can't, since they're a tarball plus a precalculated PKG-INFO with nowhere to hang extra metadata. Either "don't use sdists" or an sdist v2. The replay mechanism already exists: [build-system] in pyproject.toml is a defined entry point, so if backends recorded their own environment, you could reinstall and re-run the build. Payoff idea: trusted third parties report successful reproductions back to PyPI, which displays "independently reproduced by X" - surfaced in the index API so installers could prefer reproduced files. Explicitly framed as a perk, not a requirement - roughly SLSA build level 1, no shaming projects that don't opt in. Verbal kicker option: "And don't think pure-Python wheels are off the hook. Something built that wheel, and if that something was compromised, so is your wheel. SolarWinds was a build-process attack."

Today we are talking with Vignesh Baskaran, the CTO and co-founder of Hexo Labs, about teaching AI agents to improve themselves. Vignesh has been training neural networks since 2012, back when he was still called a data scientist. Then he became an ML engineer and now an AI engineer, though he says the underlying work has never really changed. It's to figure out how to make a system behave the way you intend it to. He built the litigation search engine that Google itself became a customer of, and now he's chasing something new, agents that rewrite and retrain other agents without a human in the loop. We dig into Sia, the meta-agent at the center of Hexo's research, and why improving an agent means touching both its harness and its actual model weights, not just one or the other. We talk about proxy evals for when you don't have much to ground truth. The Darwin-Gödel machine and why formal verification is too strict a bar for anything commercial. How Hexo's work echoes DeepMind's Alpha lineage from AlphaGo to AlphaEvolve, and the spectrum from clearly verifiable to totally subjective tasks? Why VAE evals are quietly wrecking agent quality across the industry, and a great story about an agent that discovered a customer's own eval file was silently corrupted, something buried in hundreds of thousands of traces that no human would have caught.
In this episode of The Business of Open Source, I spoke with Kris Zyp, SVP of engineering at HarperDB, in the third and final episode in the series about how Harper went from a closed-source company to an open source company. We talked about what Kris saw as the risks and benefits of going open source before they went open source, how they ended up deciding what went into the open source project versus in the enterprise edition, and where the gray areas where. The CEO of Harper, Stephen Goldberg, said that 80% of moving from a closed-source company to an open source company was about communication. I was curious what Kris said about where the heavy lifting was in the transition; but I was also curious about his insights into product strategy, because when I asked his colleagues about product strategy in the transition to open source they both punted to him. We talked about developing a framework for deciding what features go into which edition, and how that framework is communicated internally and externally. We talked about who makes the ultimate product strategy decisions, and what they take into account when making these product strategy decisions. We also talked about using trial and error, the unexpected benefits of being open source, and how Kris thinks that many people overestimate the risks and underestimate the benefits of being an open source company. PS a huge thunderstorm started while I was recording this episode! You might be able to hear it in the background. Are you a closed-source software company thinking about open sourcing a key part of your codebase? Are you wondering how you'll balance the relationship between the project and product? Reach out, because those are the kind of questions I help companies resolve — and they see dramatic growth as a result.

Vergeet de beursgang van SpaceX: die van Anthropic wordt nog veel groter. Het bedrijf groeide van amper een miljard dollar omzet eind 2024 naar makkelijk 50 miljard dollar in de eerste helft van dit jaar. En in 2028? Dan staat er 200 miljard dollar op de borden, zegt het bedrijf. Is dit net zulke science fiction als SpaceX in zijn prospectus zette? En hoe gevoelig is dit bedrijf eigenlijk voor concurrentie? Dat bespreken we in deze aflevering. Verder houden we bij BNR Beurs wel van een mooie comeback. BlackBerry is niet langer het telefoonbedrijf dat op sterven na dood was na de introductie van de iPhone. Het is een infrastructuurspeler geworden, met technologie die gebruikt wordt door robots, medische spelers en defensiebedrijven. En daarom werd het bedrijf het afgelopen jaar 2.5 keer zoveel waard. Boem! We bespreken hoe ze dat voor elkaar kregen. Natuurlijk moeten we ook nog even gluren bij de buren, nu het nog kan. Jane Street wil zijn eigen schuldpapier minder publiek maken, maar tot die tijd kunnen we meekijken hoe het bedrijf met de grootste handelswinsten op Wall Street eigenlijk zijn geld verdient. En wat blijkt? Het verloor tientallen miljarden aan Leopold Aschenbrenner, de jonge knaap en wonderbelegger wiens fonds vorige maand opbrandde in de atmosfeer. Tot slot die halfjaarcijfers van Ebusco. Als het niet lukt om een nieuwe kredietfaciliteit af te sluiten, en een grote aandeelhouder niet bijstort, denkt het bedrijf dat er materiële uitdagingen ontstaan om zijn verplichtingen na te komen. Lees: dan is het einde verhaal.Te gast: Niels Koerts van Stockwatch.nl en de podcast het Beurscafé.BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's your gold standard for deciding whether AI-written code is ready for production? In Episode 42 of Talking Postgres, Simon Willison—creator of Datasette, co-creator of Django, and prolific open-source developer—joins Claire to share how AI is changing the way he builds software today. We dig into why his test for shipping AI-generated code is “Could I explain this to somebody else?”, how engineering management skills can be surprisingly useful when managing AI agents, and how the bottleneck is no longer writing code but understanding it. Also: personal credibility, deep research, the Winchester Mystery House, slop proxies, and Simon's observation that “Features are cheap. That doesn't mean you should build them all.”Previously on Talking Postgres:Talking Postgres podcast Ep 30: AI for data engineers with Simon Willison Links mentioned in this episode:Blog: Simon Willison's BlogProject page: Datasette, for finding stories in dataGitHub repo: sqlite-utilsBlog post: Release of alchemy-utils 0.1a0 (featuring Postgres & DuckDB)Blog post: There are no lossless transformations of natural-language text, by Sophie AlpertPodcast episode: The Open Weight Revolution with Simon Willison, on Oxide and FriendsPodcast episode: An AI state of the union, on Lenny's Podcast Wikipedia: Winchester Mystery HouseIdea in Mythical Man-Month: Conceptual integrityBlog post: SQLite compressed text-history prototypes, by Simon WillisonTools: Simon's miscellaneous tools repoIn this episode, we covered:00:00 Intro & music04:00 A week of work before breakfast09:12 Red-green TDD makes agents exercise every line14:42 A million lines mean nothing if you don't understand it18:28 Finding low-hanging fruit among open PRs & issues22:07 Getting work done while walking the dog23:01 Gold standard: “Could I explain this to somebody else?”28:27 Slop proxies add no value at all30:49 Aggressive nitpicking reviews35:01 Everything in software engineering is about trade-offs41:16 Racoon heist game is only fun for 1 minute 15 seconds43:46 New Year's resolution to be more ambitious48:11 You have to learn to throw things away51:57 Features are cheap.

Are massive frontier AI models actually worth the cost?In this episode, I sit down with Daniel Svonava, Founder of Superlinked, to break down where AI is actually heading in production. We dive into why the hype around massive frontier models is shifting toward targeted, small open-source models, and how to orchestrate smart agents without blowing through your budget.Daniel shares how Superlinked is building open-source inference infrastructure, why small models are rapidly closing the performance gap, and how you can engineer faster, cheaper, and more control-driven AI systems.

Michael #1: Claude Code /insights Michael's Insights: michael-kennedy-claude-code-insights-2026-08-09.html Be careful sharing these outputs, they include details references to your projects, errors, security findings, etc. ;) /insights reads your last 30 days of local session transcripts and hands back an interactive HTML report on how you actually work. One command, zero setup: type /insights in a session, or run claude -p "/insights" from the shell for a non-interactive version that just prints the path Reads what's already on disk: pulls session logs from ~/.claude/projects/, skipping agent sub-sessions and anything under 2 messages or 1 minute Project areas: clusters your sessions into themes like "CLI Tooling" or "Documentation" with session counts Friction analysis: categorizes where things went wrong by root cause - and quotes your own prompts back at you Interaction style: tells you whether you're a delegator or a micromanager, plus which workflows are worth doubling down on Actually actionable: suggests concrete CLAUDE.md additions and Claude Code features you're not using The catch: Haiku does the per-session classification, so the first run takes several minutes; results cache to ~/.claude/usage-data/facets/ and the report lands at ~/.claude/usage-data/report.html Calvin #2: Post-quantum crypto lands in Python pyca/cryptography 48 ships ML-KEM (key establishment) and ML-DSA (signatures) — NIST's post-quantum standards, now one pip install away. Big deal because it's the 11th most-downloaded package on PyPI (~1.2B downloads/month) and sits under Ansible, Certbot, Airflow, and paramiko. No PQ there, no PQ anywhere in Python. Trail of Bits did the work (Rust bindings, cross-backend API, tests, AWS-LC backend support), funded by the Sovereign Tech Agency. Timing tracks a June 22 White House order setting federal deadlines: PQ key establishment by end of 2030, PQ signatures by end of 2031. Not a drop-in swap — the wire sizes explode. ML-DSA-65 signatures are 3,309 bytes vs Ed25519's 64; ML-KEM-768 public keys are 1,184 bytes vs X25519's 32. Hardcoded field sizes and length prefixes will bite. API looks like the existing asymmetric primitives, except ML-KEM is encapsulate/decapsulate rather than a Diffie-Hellman exchange. SLH-DSA (the hash-based conservative backstop) is still in progress. The primitives are here, but protocols haven't caught up — so you won't be running post-quantum Certbot this week. Sponsor: Xweather You're using agents that can write code, summarize documents, and automate workflows. But they're missing one thing: awareness of the world around them.

Calvin #3: MCP goes stateless — and FastMCP gets renamed From Philipp Acsany over at Real Python The 2026-07-28 spec landed July 28 and the Python SDK shipped 2.0.0 the same day. Biggest rewrite since MCP launched, and it's breaking on purpose. Context for scale: the Tier 1 SDKs are pulling close to half a billion downloads a month, with TypeScript and Python each past a billion total. The headline is the stateless core. The initialize/initialized handshake and the Mcp-Session-Id header are both retired — protocol version, client identity, and capabilities now ride in _meta on every request, with an optional server/discover RPC if a client wants capabilities up front. Any request can land on any instance behind plain round-robin, no shared storage. Server-initiated calls are the hard part of the migration. Sampling, elicitation, and roots/list no longer call back to the client; instead the server returns resultType: "input_required" and the client retries with inputResponses attached. Multi Round-Trip Requests, MRTR. Also: Mcp-Method and Mcp-Name are now required headers so gateways route on headers instead of cracking JSON bodies, and missing-resource errors move to standard 32602. Deprecation sweep with an actual policy behind it — Roots, Sampling, Logging, and the legacy HTTP+SSE transport all deprecated with a twelve-month minimum offramp. Tasks graduated out of the experimental core into a real extension, which is what the formalized extensions framework was for. MCP Apps is now an official extension too, so a tool call can return sandboxed interactive HTML. Auth picked up RFC 9207 issuer validation, issuer-bound credentials, and a shift from DCR toward CIMD. Python SDK 2.0 is where it gets personal: FastMCP is now MCPServer, no alias, no shim. McpError → MCPError. Wire types went snake_case (is_error, input_schema) and moved to a standalone mcp_types package, with mcp.types kept as a permanent alias. One Client object replaces the old transport + ClientSession + initialize() stack. httpx became httpx2. Sync handlers run on worker threads now, so asyncio.get_running_loop() raises inside them. The good news: one MCPServer serves both protocol eras, so 2025-era clients keep working with nothing to configure, and a Resolve(fn) parameter lets one tool body cover MRTR and the old path. 1.x is maintenance-and-security-fixes only — pin mcp>=1.28,

This week we dissect ColdCard's ~$100M RNG exploit that Claude Code cracked in 8 minutes, debate whether AI just killed open-source security and Bitcoin maximalism, tear apart Ethereum's EIP-8361 staking-yield taper, and unpack Leopold Aschenbrenner's 67% Situational Awareness blowup and CLARITY Act's ethics fight. Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. No guest this week, just the four of them working through a week where AI quietly rewrote the economics of both security and human psychology, and crypto happened to be standing in the blast radius. This episode: ColdCard, NVK's Bitcoin-only hardware wallet, got drained of nearly $100M thanks to a random-number-generation bug that a one-word commit buried five years ago, and Claude Code sniffed it out in 8 minutes (an open model with no internet found it in 20, for about two bucks). The crew debates whether AI just killed open-source security, whether Nic Carter is right that this is 'the death of Bitcoin maximalism,' and why Tarun thinks maxi devs are 'the RFK of security practices.' Then they take a blowtorch to Ethereum's EIP-8361 staking-yield taper (Tarun: 'the proposal reads like shit'), unpack Leopold Aschenbrenner's 67% Situational Awareness blowup while 4x levered, and wade into the CLARITY Act's ethics fight where a single amendment is the whole ballgame.

Elena Burger and Matt Bornstein are joined by Simon Mo, co-founder and CEO of Inferact, the open-source inference engine powering many of today's most advanced AI applications. Together, they explore how open-source AI evolved from a research project into critical infrastructure, why inference has become one of the most important layers of the AI stack, and what it takes to bring frontier intelligence to developers around the world. The conversation covers vLLM's origins, the rise of open-weight models, why companies increasingly want control over their AI infrastructure, and how open-source inference enables the next generation of AI applications. They also discuss model licensing, the economics of open-weight AI, Kimi K3, distillation, AI infrastructure, and why Simon believes the gap between open and closed models is rapidly disappearing.

It sends the request through the site's configured Drupal AI provider, validates the returned Webform definition, and saves the resulting form. Review the generated change before using the form. Module name/project name: AI Webform Generator (ai_webform_generator) Brief history Created on 2 July 2026 by chaitanyadessai (Chaitanya R Dessai). The current stable release is 1.0.2, released on 3 July 2026, and supports Drupal ^10 || ^11. Maintainership Appears actively maintained: Drupal.org lists an update on 24 July 2026. Maintainers: zeeshan_khan and chaitanyadessai. (Specbee) Security coverage: Yes. Stable releases are covered by Drupal's security advisory policy. Test coverage: Yes. Version 1.0.2 includes unit, kernel, and functional tests for prompt building, JSON validation, settings, route access, Webform building, and optional CAPTCHA elements. Documentation: Yes. The project page and module README cover requirements, configuration, usage, security considerations, and supported field types. Issues: 1 open issue, with 0 open bug reports (7 issues total). Usage stats: 1 site reports using this module. Module features and usage Creates complete Webforms and updates existing Webforms in place from natural-language prompts. Supports common Webform elements, including text, email, telephone, number, date, select, checkbox, radio, range, password, hidden, and managed-file elements. Validates the AI response before applying the Webform definition. Uses the existing Drupal AI provider configuration; API keys are not stored in this module's configuration. Provides configurable model, temperature, output-token, and per-user request limits to balance output quality and provider spend. Requires trusted users with both the generator permission and ordinary Webform edit access when changing an existing form. AI-Generate Notes, Review, and Recipe (used for testing) https://github.com/jrockowitz/drupal_playground/tree/main/recipes/drupal_playground_webform_ai AI-Generated Assessment Technical: The module separates AI generation, prompt building, JSON validation, and Webform construction into Drupal services. It uses the site's configured Drupal AI provider, validates a limited allowlist of Webform element types before saving, and exposes model, temperature, output-token, and per-user request-limit settings. Access and error handling: Generation requires its own permission, and updating an existing Webform also requires normal Webform update access. A per-user flood limit constrains provider spend; failures are logged, with detailed upstream errors shown only to generator administrators. Code quality: Version 1.0.2 uses strict types and separates form, service, validation, and persistence responsibilities. It includes unit, kernel, and functional coverage for core behavior. This assessment is a code review of the released module, not a security audit. Implementation: The module creates new Webforms and updates supported fields of existing Webforms in place, but saves the generated definition immediately without a preview, diff, or approval screen. Usefulness: The module is useful for quickly drafting straightforward Webforms and iterating on common field changes when a site builder reviews the result. Complex, highly customized, or regulated forms need especially careful manual review before publication. How to use it: Configure a chat-capable provider, select an existing Webform or choose to create one, describe the fields and validation in plain English, submit the request, and then review the saved Webform. For example, create a disposable contact Webform and ask the generator to add a required telephone field while preserving the existing fields. AI-generated source code: The module's runtime use of AI and its code style cannot establish whether its source was AI-generated or AI-assisted. Its public project metadata does not make an authorship claim, so this is unknown. Possible improvements: Add a preview/diff and explicit approval before saving; broaden support for advanced Webform structures and handlers; add optional, privacy-conscious prompt and response audit logs; and expand regression coverage for complex Webform updates. Next steps for adopters: Restrict generation to trusted roles, begin with a low request limit, test representative prompts outside production, and review every generated field, validation rule, confirmation message, and permission before publishing.
My guest today is Gavin Baker, founding partner and CIO of Atreides Management. This is our seventh conversation, and just two months after Gavin's last appearance. It's about the gap between what the market is doing and what companies are seeing. It's been a tough month or so for public AI names, but there's no sign of a slowdown on the ground in Silicon Valley. We discuss the latest moves, contracted vs. spot GPU prices, the game theory of memory supply agreements, and why Claude has become the Walter Cronkite of the stock market. We close on SpaceX, orbital compute, and what Gavin sees as the single biggest risk to all of it. Please enjoy this conversation, from the famous table at Benchmark, with my friend Gavin Baker.

The Twenty Minute VC: Venture Capital | Startup Funding | The Pitch
Anastasios Angelopoulos is the co-founder and CEO of Arena, the real-world evaluation platform that has become a leading referee of the global AI model race. Arena has raised $250 million, with the latest round valuing the company at $1.7BN. Arena recently surpassed $100M ARR just eight months after launching its enterprise offering, powered by more than 30 million monthly users. AGENDA: 00:00 – Intro: "Kimi beat every American model": What Nobody Wants to Admit… 05:20 – Is this the true commoditization of models? Are they just a utility layer now? 07:30 – Do Chinese open source models cannibalize the closed frontier labs? 10:30 – Why has America's open source community lagged so badly behind China? 17:20 – Will Chinese models be banned in the US — and does hosting locally really kill the backdoor risk? 23:20 – Are enterprises really terrified of working with the frontier labs? 27:20 – Why hasn't inference got cheaper — and what happens when Anthropic's "disgustingly high" margins go public? 30:20 – Who should decide if a model is safe to release: the government, a neutral body, or nobody? 33:10 – Are we about to see cyberattacks like we've never seen before? (The fake candidate who passed every interview) 37:00 – 75 Neo labs: what separates the winners from the two-thirds worth nothing? 40:45 – Is data actually a commodity — and can data providers be $100BN companies? 48:00 – Can you be the referee when the players are paying you? (And Arena's real revenue) 50:45 – Will the model providers eat the application layer? Are Harvey, Lagora and Figma in trouble? 54:10 – Quickfire: Why hasn't NVIDIA bounced on the rise of open source, who hits $10 trillion first, and does the compute debt cycle end in insolvency?

Sarah Wang and Kimberly Tan are joined by Jesse Zhang and Ashwin Sreenivas, co-founders of Decagon, to discuss the evolution of enterprise AI agents, why the company increasingly relies on open-source models, and how it is helping some of the world's largest companies deploy AI in production. Decagon has become one of the fastest-growing AI companies by building agents that automate customer support, sales, and operational workflows. Jesse, Decagon's CEO, and Ashwin, its president, explain how the company is building enterprise AI at scale. They unpack why Decagon moved most of its inference to open-source models, how latency, evaluation, and fine-tuning shape production AI systems, and why enterprise AI requires far more than simply plugging into frontier models. The conversation also explores forward-deployed engineering, enterprise sales, AI's impact on jobs, and why application companies will continue to thrive alongside the foundation model labs.

My guest today is Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. It's a conversation spanning the history, present, and future of OpenAI, from the origin of ChatGPT through Codex, hardware, and their new Jalapeno chip. We discuss the early decision to buy compute at a scale nobody thought was rational, and the plan to build a gigawatt of new capacity every week. We talk about Kimi and distillation, the Hugging Face incident and what it means for the pace of AI development, and what it's like to raise kids who will grow up never knowing a world without abundant intelligence. Please enjoy my conversation with Sam Altman.
