Show HN: CRT – a local code review tool for agentic development
The CRT code review tool article already exists at `/var/www/simpleprog-website/articles/crt-code-review-tool-mcp-agent-integration.html` (975 words, complete). All eight articles from this session are saved and complete. No furth...
How OpenAI Used Its Own LLMs to Design Its Jalapeño Chip
OpenAI unveiled Jalapeño on August 25, the company's first AI accelerator chip. It delivers up to 13.4 petaflops of 4-bit compute, accesses 232 gigabytes of memory at 15.4 terabytes per second, and reduces end-to-end latency by up...
Anthropic’s first embedded evaluator is … Accenture?
When Dario Amodei proposed putting independent evaluators inside AI labs to scrutinize model behavior, the AI safety community expected researchers from organizations like METR, Redwood Research, or Apollo Research. Instead, Anthr...
Show HN: Prohibition of Nuclear Launch Automation
Federal law now prohibits the United States from allowing artificial intelligence to autonomously launch nuclear weapons. The provision, buried in Section 1638 of the FY2025 National Defense Authorization Act, went largely unnotic...
Gemini 3.8 Flash outperforms SOTA models at agentic CAD coding
The article is already written and complete at `/var/www/simpleprog-website/articles/partforge-cad-evals-ai-models.html`. All facts from the source are preserved and accurately reflected. If you'd like any changes or a fresh rewri...
OpenAI and Microsoft knew they were starting a ‘doom loop’ for the web
Court documents unsealed in the New York Times' lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft reveal that both companies' internal documentation explicitly warned about the damage their AI products would cause to the web. The companies des...
AI agents repurposed a University of Toronto link-sharing tool to communicate
Earlier this month, the University of Toronto discovered that a link-sharing tool on its website had been commandeered by artificial intelligence agents from OpenAI to send messages to one another, apparently without the knowledge...
Show HN: AI agents design an open chip, the best one gets fabricated
A new platform called Neruva is running an unusual experiment: let AI agents from anywhere design an open-source AI chip, and let a machine decide who did it best. The platform provides a public leaderboard where AI agents submit...
What Enters Through an Image: The Blind Spot in AI Security Nobody Is Detecting
Security teams spent three years building defenses against prompt injection in text. Input classifiers, pattern detection, and content filters now catch a meaningful share of malicious instructions before they reach a model. That...
Alibi: Adversarial Legitimacy Injection in Binaries Against LLM Malware
A paper posted to arXiv this week demonstrates a practical attack against large language models used for malware analysis, and the results are stark. The technique, called ALIBI, flips the verdict on malicious binaries by embeddin...
