Tenex builds an AI-native SDLC: outcome-based pricing, agent-driven development, and the last mile of enterprise AI deployment.

Tenex is an AI-native software delivery company established 18 months ago (as of 2026), with a team of 75 employees, serving roughly half of the Fortune 2000 companies and a comparable number of mid-sized enterprises. Its core practices include: a dynamic engineer compensation system anchored in story points; a quality‑assurance mechanism led by AI strategists; the MetaHarness framework, which embeds context directly within Git; and a capability realignment focused on “high‑value, non‑coding tasks.” Meanwhile, it has been observed that enterprise AI adoption remains concentrated on general‑purpose LLM deployments and engineering‑side agents, with backend office‑type production‑grade AI agents achieving only about 5% penetration.

eMudhra Intermediate CA Compromise

eMudhra Intermediate CA Compromise This is very, very bad news: The private keys of eight eMudhra intermediate CA certificates have been compromised. They chain to roots trusted by the Mozilla, Microsoft, Apple and Chrome root programs and by many downstream trust stores. Any software that bundles a list of trusted certificates needs to be updated. This site is tracking software updates via this GitHub repository - Linux distros need to update their ca-certificates packages. In Python world uv 0.13.4 and pip 26.2.2 and certifi 2026.10.19 have been released with upgraded certificate lists. There's a very informative thread about this on the official Python forum.

i14 releases the Laplace 3B linear attention model: inference with fixed-state memory, implemented on AWS Trainium2 and native PyTorch.

i14 has launched the Laplace 3B model with 3.028 billion parameters, which replaces Softmax attention with Gated Linear Attention (GLA). During inference, its per-sequence recursive state remains constant at 29.5 MB, independent of context length. The model was trained and validated on a single AWS trn2.48xlarge instance (equipped with 16 Trainium 2 chips), achieving a training throughput of 120,000 tokens per second and an inference throughput of 11,544 output tokens per second (with 1,280 concurrent sequences). All performance metrics are based on internal measurements conducted by i14 and the AWS GenAIIC team.

Battle Drones - a vibe coded RTS with audio-based multiplayer

My latest vibe coded game experiment is a Command & Conquer style RTS (Real Time Strategy) game called Battle Drones (play it here). Unlike my previous experiments, this one is actually fun to play. I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I got there by telling Claude to "Make it a LOT more fun". It also supports multiplayer between nearby devices using audio to synchronize game state! Here's what I've built so far, and some of the things I learned along the way. Battle Drones How I built this v1: the initial prototype v2: full sprites v3: varied terrain v4: the fun update v5: Battle Drones goes 3D v8: Archipelago v10: Goliath, and agent battles Agent battles v11: Random Maps v12: Multiplayer via sound Some thoughts Update: Online multiplayer support Battle Drones My initial goal was to bui

SF Compute builds a programmable data center: leveraging physical delivery to power the GPU computing power trading market.

SF Compute was founded by Evan Conrad and is dedicated to building a neutral, programmable GPU computing‑power trading infrastructure that supports physical delivery. Its model rejects the abstraction of FLOPS as a commodity, emphasizing hardware heterogeneity, actual delivery, and real‑time constraints—such as interrupt tolerance, InfiniBand topology, and firmware versions. The platform has already facilitated tens of billions of dollars in transaction volume and introduced low‑level capabilities like dynamic InfiniBand subnet partitioning.

SF Compute builds a programmable data center: leveraging physical delivery to drive the marketization of GPU computing power trading.

SF Compute was founded by Evan Conrad and focuses on enabling programmable, physically settled trading of GPU computing power. It does not operate its own data centers; instead, it leverages full-stack technology to collaborate with third-party facilities in co-building a “sovereign compute cloud,” emphasizing market neutrality and infrastructure controllability. The company has already facilitated hundreds of millions of dollars in transaction volume and implemented key capabilities such as dynamic InfiniBand partitioning.

Smartsheet launches the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling AI agents to connect directly to real-time project data on AWS.

Smartsheet has officially launched the general‑purpose Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which uses a standardized protocol to enable AI agents to read and write structured data—such as project tables, rows, columns, and automations—in Smartsheet. The service is now available within the AWS ecosystem, supporting access from two types of clients: Amazon Quick, aimed at business users, and Kiro, designed for developers. This allows for natural‑language‑driven cross‑tool task updates, status synchronization, and context‑aware development.

GPT-OSS-20B Multilingual Reasoning Fine-Tuning Experiment: SFT Enables Zero-Base Behavior Acquisition, while GRPO Only Effectively Improves Performance When a Probabilistic Headspace Exists

The AWS team conducted multilingual inference fine-tuning experiments on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod using GPT‑OSS‑20B, employing LoRA for parameter-efficient fine-tuning. SFT boosted the correctness rate of inference in five languages (English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian) from 22% to 100%, though the correctness rate for the answer language remained at only 62%. GRPO further improved the answer-language correctness rate to 70% without compromising inference-language performance; however, the gains varied across languages—for example, Spanish saw a +30 percentage-point increase, while Italian experienced a -20 percentage-point decline. The experiments clearly demonstrated that GRPO cannot bootstrap new capabilities from scratch and can only optimize behaviors that already occur sporadically.

Meta was ordered by a court to disclose the list of executives who approved the use of pirated downloads to train its AI.

In several copyright infringement lawsuits targeting Meta over AI training, courts have ruled that Meta must explicitly identify the executives who authorized the downloading of pirated books from shadow libraries such as Anna’s Archive and LibGen. Previously, Meta had shifted responsibility to frontline employees, claiming that its early AI data collection was an “informal process” and that no one had “formally decided” to carry out the downloads.
