P.01Merged pull requests on GitHub grew 3.6x between January 2023 and March 2026. In June, GitHub shipped a per-user PR cap for accounts without write access, a direct response to the AI-generated contribution flood. Here's how it works and what it doesn't fix.
P.02Meta shipped Muse Glimmer on August 10, an Apache 2.0 model built for local agent tasks that fits on a single 24GB consumer GPU and beats larger rivals on tool-use benchmarks. Here's what it's actually for.
P.03GitHub restricted its stargazers and watchers API endpoints to admins and collaborators in July 2026, aiming at spam scraping. It also took out Star History, OSS Insight, and every tool like them. Here's what changed and what to do if you relied on it.
P.04Shieldstral is a 3-billion-parameter open-weight model that judges text and images against safety policies written in plain language at inference time, no retraining required. Here's what that actually changes for teams building moderation.
P.05Alibaba's Qwen3.8-Max launched August 3 with 2.4 trillion parameters, a 1-million-token context window, and a promise to open-source the weights within a week. Here's what actually changes for teams evaluating it against closed frontier models.
P.06Two CVSS 10.0 zero-days in Joomla page builder plugins, SP Page Builder and Joomlack Page Builder, are being exploited to plant webshells and create rogue admin accounts. Here's what's affected and what to patch.
P.07Ollama closed a $65M Series B led by Theory Ventures on July 9, 2026, bringing total funding to $88M and its developer base to nearly 9 million, with 85% of Fortune 500 companies reportedly using it. Here's what the raise signals for teams weighing local versus API-hosted inference.
P.08Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 launched July 16 as the largest open-weight model yet, and it already leads closed frontier models on several real-world benchmarks. Here's what changed, what it costs, and when it actually matters for your stack.
P.09Together AI raised $800 million at an $8.3 billion valuation on July 1, 2026, with annual bookings past $1.15 billion. What the numbers say about the economics of running open-weights models versus closed APIs.
P.10Mistral's CEO confirmed a new open-weight MoE model entering partner early access in July 2026. No specs are public yet, but the real story is what's sold around it: Studio and Forge, a sovereign AI infrastructure play for enterprises wary of depending on a US cloud.
P.11LongCat-2.0 is a 1.6-trillion-parameter coding model Meituan trained entirely on Chinese-made chips, no Nvidia involved, then ran anonymously on OpenRouter before open-sourcing it under MIT. Here's what the benchmarks actually show and what it means for teams picking a coding model.
P.12Curl shut down its bug bounty program in February and paused all HackerOne vulnerability reports for July 2026, citing a flood of AI-generated 'slop' reports. What this means for open source security triage.
P.13MiniMax M3, released June 1 2026, is the first open-weight model to combine frontier-tier coding performance, a 1-million-token context window, and native multimodality in a single model. Here's what it does, how it benchmarks, and why it matters.
P.14OpenFeature is now a CNCF incubating project with broad SDK support. Here's how to use vendor-neutral feature flags in production — and why the standard matters more than the specific tool you back it with.
P.15Bruno keeps API collections as plain files in your repository. No account, no cloud sync, no vendor lock-in. Here's how it compares to Postman and why teams are switching.
P.16If your design system needs to work in React, Vue, and a legacy jQuery app simultaneously, Web Components are the only native answer. Lit makes them practical to write.
P.17Most agency developers don't think about the license of npm packages they install until a client's legal team asks. Here is what the major licenses actually require and where the real risks sit.
P.18HashiCorp moved Terraform to a Business Source License in August 2023. OpenTofu forked it under the MPL. Pulumi took a different path entirely. Two and a half years on, the dust has settled enough to make a clear-headed choice.
P.19In March 2024, Redis Ltd. relicensed Redis under a source-available license. Within weeks, the Linux Foundation forked it as Valkey. Two years on, here's how the split played out and what it means for teams choosing an in-memory data store today.
P.20Explore Hackbat, the open-source hardware platform launching in Q2 2026, set to redefine embedded security by offering full auditability and eliminating reliance on closed-source devices.
P.21A technical deep dive into DeepSeek V4's Engram conditional memory, Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections, and Sparse Attention -- the three innovations enabling million-token context at a fraction of the cost. Benchmarks, architecture diagrams, and what it means for your stack.
P.22Nearly 200 developers urged Oracle to rethink MySQL's future. We break down the open letter, the governance crisis, the rise of PostgreSQL and alternatives, and what developers should do next.
P.23EditorPickGoogle Summer of Code 2026 accepted 185 organizations. Here is everything you need to know — eligibility, timeline, stipends up to $6,600, how to write a winning proposal, and the mistakes that get you rejected.
P.24Open source powers the modern internet, but maintainer burnout and funding challenges threaten its future. Here's the state of open source sustainability and emerging solutions.
P.25DeepSeek's V4 model brings 1 trillion parameters, Engram conditional memory, and open-source weights under Apache 2.0. We break down the architecture, coding benchmarks, geopolitical implications, and what it means for developers.
P.26Chinese startup Moonshot AI released Kimi K2.5, an open-source model with 1 trillion parameters approaching frontier performance. The model challenges the assumption that only US labs can build world-class AI.
P.27EditorPickA trademark dispute, crypto scammers, 100K GitHub stars, a social network for AI agents, and a security crisis — the Clawdbot saga has everything. Here's the full story of the viral AI assistant that broke the internet.
