SpaceX disabled the uploads via a remote feature flag but left the upload code in place, then open sourced the CLI a day later, saying only enterprise customers with zero data retention were unaffected.

AI-generated Rust compiles perfectly. That’s the scary part.
Canonical is funding University of Bristol researchers to test whether AI-generated Rust can safely replace legacy C, using the AppArmor and snap-confine tools as trial cases. The system pairs code generation with fuzzing and formal analysis to catch behavioral mismatches, then applies symbolic repair to fix them, aiming to show the approach can scale to repositories with hundreds of thousands of lines of C.

Where agent evals are going: Agent-as-a-Judge
A 2024 paper by Zhuge et al. of Meta AI and KAUST proposed having one AI agent evaluate another's full trajectory rather than just its final output, finding about 90% alignment with human consensus versus roughly 70% for a single-pass LLM judge, at $31 in API costs against nearly $1,300 for human experts. Arize has now shipped a production version inside Arize AX, alongside a continuous monitoring tool called Signal that groups recurring failures into ranked issues with proposed fixes.
