Since the Medicare breach, OpenAI has put in place additional monitoring to allow “immediate intervention” by staff to stop training if the company’s models access the internet in ways they’re not supposed to, Mr. Kwon [chief strategy officer at OpenAI] said. — Victoria Kim, Reporting from the Australian parliament Tags: accidental-cyberattacks, generative-ai, ai-security-research, openai, ai, llms

Release: llm-openai-decisions 0.1a0 OpenAI released their new Jev-style Decisions API, as previously announced at last week's DevDay. Since I already have an llm-typesafe plugin for talking to Jev, I had GPT-6 Astra read the new OpenAI API documentation and build an llm-openai-decisions plugin inspired by llm-typesafe. Unlike Jev, the new gpt-6-luna decision model supports image input in addition to text. Both models charge for input it and not for output: OpenAI's is 10 cents per million...

Release: llm-mistral 0.16 Adds support for reasoning models, such as the newly released Mistral Large 4. Tags: llm, mistral, llm-reasoning

My comment on EmbeddingGemma 2 — Hacker News. I really appreciate that EmbeddingGemma 2 is under the Apache 2.0 license. For embedding models in particular, I don't think it makes sense to use a closed, proprietary, hosted-only model. Most applications of embedding models involve calculating thousands or even millions of embedding vectors and storing them for later comparison. If your model is proprietary, the vendor is likely someday going to decide to stop offering that model. They'll have...

Introducing Mistral Large 4: Le chonk Mistral are back in the game. Today they're releasing a preview of Mistral Large 4, a 1 trillion parameter, 49 billion active parameter model trained on their own cluster of 3,800 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GPUs. The preview is available via their API. They promise to release the open weights model at the "end of this month". The model only supports two reasoning levels - "none" and "high" - via the Mistral API. Here are both pelicans - the "high" one looks...

Next.js 16.4 introduces lazy compilation, smaller Turbopack output, React 19.3 features, Cache Components improvements, and new developer tooling.

TIL: Using Parseable with Datasette for OpenTelemetry traces I saw Parseable in a Show HN today - it's a new observability platform with both an open source (AGPL) Rust implementation (a single ~180MB binary), an "Enterprise" version with extra features and a cloud hosted option. Since Datasette 1.0a41 added OpenTelemetry support (thanks, Alex Garcia), I decided to fire up Codex and have it figure out how to run Parseable and feed it traces from Datasette. Here's my (human-written) TIL...

My comment on Mistral Large 4 — Hacker News. wren6991: The benchmark is saturated. Frontier models are tested with an armadillo in fishnet tights jaywalking on Mars. OK well I couldn't resist this one: llm -m claude-opus-5.5 'Generate an SVG of an armadillo in fishnet tights jaywalking on Mars' llm -m gpt-6.1-sol 'Generate an SVG of an armadillo in fishnet tights jaywalking on Mars' llm -m gemini-3.8-flash 'Generate an SVG of an armadillo in fishnet tights jaywalking on Mars' llm -m...

Release: datasette-atom 0.11a0 A minor fix for compatibility with the latest Datasette alphas. This meant we could upgrade the datasette.io site to Datasette 1.0a41. Tags: atom, datasette

AI Gateway can now escalate a decision request to a fallback model when the primary model's answer trips a confidence condition you set. Conditions can be combined, so an escalation can depend on more than one signal. The plain model names you already list in models keep catching outright errors, so existing fallbacks are unaffected. Confidence conditions cover Choice and Score questions. Boolean questions escalate on a probability range instead. Set the fallback by adding one conditional...

Tool: Scrimshaw Jukebox I wanted to see if Claude Opus 5.5 could compose music, so I tried this: I want you to write some computer game music for me. First design simple text based format for the music and build an artifact that can play it out loud - include some example tracks in that artifact I am looking for music of the quality of the original secret of Monkey Island It leaned a lot harder into the Monkey Island theme than I had intended, but the results are surprisingly good. I wonder...

AI coding agents can now write thousands of lines of production code across a dozen files in the time it takes you to make coffee. The bottleneck is no longer code generation; it’s review, and nobody’s quite sure how to do it well yet. Our Human-AI eXperience team, in collaboration with researchers from Lund University, […]

Testcontainers, project that uses OCI to provide, well, containers for testing for modules, has a reuse feature that lets a multi-module Maven build share one Postgres container across all test JVMs. This requires creating a separate database per JVM to maintain isolation and avoid migration conflicts.

Amper has evolved into the Kotlin Toolchain, and our blog is moving along with it. This isn’t a goodbye – it’s a continuation With the release of Kotlin Toolchain 0.11, Amper became the Kotlin Toolchain: a single, unified entry point into Kotlin, now in Alpha. What’s changing To keep Kotlin ecosystem news in one place, […]

Two months ago, we announced the preview of Java and Kotlin by IntelliJ IDEA – an LSP-based extension that brings IntelliJ IDEA’s Java and Kotlin intelligence to third-party editors, starting with VS Code and its forks, such as Cursor. This was our first step towards bringing IntelliJ IDEA’s Java and Kotlin intelligence beyond the IDE, […]

Digital creators are living through a golden age of opportunity and accessibility. The number of YouTube channels, newsletters, livestreams, and lifestyle content is constantly growing, while demand remains steadily high. For tech creators, there are innovations in just about every aspect of their work, in large part due to the wide adoption of AI. These […]

JetBrains has joined the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) as a general member. OpenSSF is a cross-industry initiative of the Linux Foundation that works to secure the software supply chain on which the industry depends. The foundation announced our membership today, together with other new members, at OpenSSF Community Day Europe in Prague, co-located with […]
