OpenAI has introduced a plugin system for Codex, its AI-powered software engineering platform, giving enterprise IT teams a way to package coding workflows, application integrations, and external tool configurations into versioned, installable bundles that can be distributed or blocked across development organizations. “We’re rolling out plugins in Codex,” OpenAI Developers, the company’s officia…

Anthropic has started limiting usage across its Claude subscriptions to cope with rising demand that is stretching its compute capacity. “To manage growing demand for Claude we’re adjusting our 5 hour session limits for free/Pro/Max subs during peak hours. Your weekly limits remain unchanged,” Thariq Shihipar , a member of Anthropic’s technical staff, wrote in a post on X . “During weekdays betwe…

Announced at JavaOne, Project Detroit proposes to break down the walls between Java, Python, and JavaScript. Also in this report: Better ways to instrument your code with Python’s new built-in sampling profiler, another run at using AI locally to rework a Python project, and the question on everyone’s mind right now (surely): What does OpenAI really want with Astral? Top picks for Python readers …

For more than 10 years, enterprise cloud strategy has relied on centralizing as much as possible—shifting workloads from data centers, consolidating operations on hyperscale platforms, and leveraging economies of scale. This approach has reduced infrastructure sprawl, accelerated deployment, and provided nearly unlimited compute and storage. However, the next generation of digital systems increas…

On the surface, the recent critique of a new tool called Context Hub by a developer who created an open-source alternative appears to be an illustration that the tool is vulnerable to misuse. But delve further and it serves as a far greater warning to AI developers of the downside of using non-authoritative sources of information. Two weeks ago, Andrew Ng , founder of a Silicon Valley technical t…

Just-released Version 1.113 of Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code editor emphasizes improvements ranging from chat customizations to support for MCP (Model Context Protocol) in Copilot CLI and Claude agents. Released March 25 , VS Code can be downloaded for Windows, Linux, or Mac via the VS Code download webpage . VS Code 1.113 closely follows VS Code Versions 1.111 and 1.112 as part of Microsoft’s n…

Databricks has previewed a new open agentic Security Information and Event Management software (SIEM) named Lakewatch that signals its first deliberate step beyond data warehousing into security analytics. The data warehouse-provider is pitching Lakewatch as a lower-cost alternative to traditional security tools, arguing that consolidating security analytics into its data platform can reduce over…

Google says its new TurboQuant method could improve how efficiently AI models run by compressing the key-value cache used in LLM inference and supporting more efficient vector search. In tests on Gemma and Mistral models, the company reported significant memory savings and faster runtime with no measurable accuracy loss, including a 6x reduction in memory usage and an 8x speedup in attention-logi…

Serialization is the process of converting a Java object into a sequence of bytes so they can be written to disk, sent over a network, or stored outside of memory. Later, the Java virtual machine (JVM) reads those bytes and reconstructs the original object. This process is called deserialization . Under normal circumstances, objects exist only in memory and disappear when a program terminates. Se…

After many years of being relatively static, the enterprise virtualization landscape is shifting under our feet. As organizations reassess their reliance on traditional hypervisors, driven by cost, licensing disruption, or a broader push toward modernization, many are exploring Kubernetes as the natural consolidation point for both containerized and virtual machine workloads. This is often referr…

Digital transformation today is more than just automating tasks or speeding up calculations. It’s reshaping how we make decisions. People used to rely on their own experience and negotiation skills, but now algorithms are often taking over. While this shift improves efficiency and scale, it also introduces a critical challenge: managing knowledge reliably across automated decision systems. If the…

Swift 6.3, the latest release of the Apple-driven language for multiple platforms, offers more flexible C interoperability and improvements for cross-platform build tools. The official SDK for Android mobile application development also is featured. Announced March 24 , Swift 6.3 can be accessed at swift.org . For C interoperability, Version 6.3 debuts the @c attribute for exposing Swift function…

Anthropic is fitting its Claude Code AI-powered coding assistant with an auto mode for the Claude AI assistant to handle permissions on the user’s behalf, with safeguards to monitor actions before they run. Auto mode was announced March 24; instructions on getting started with it can be found on the introductory blog post . Currently being launched in research preview status for Claude Team users…

PyPI is warning of possible credential theft from AI applications and developer pipelines after two malicious versions of the widely used Python middleware for large language models, LiteLLM, were briefly published. “Anyone who has installed and run the project should assume any credentials available to the LiteLLM environment may have been exposed, and revoke/rotate them accordingly,” PyPI said …

Cloudflare has rolled out Dynamic Workers, an isolate-based runtime designed to run AI-generated code faster and more efficiently than traditional containers, as the company pushes lightweight, disposable execution environments as a foundation for enterprise AI applications. The service enables enterprises to spin up execution environments in milliseconds, pointing to a transition away from conta…
