How to turn AI production feedback into better agents
Your AI agent’s service is healthy. Its answers might still be getting worse.
Microsoft skipped OpenAI’s decision model and built its own on Alibaba’s Qwen
Microsoft’s Decision-1 matches Jev’s price and skips OpenAI’s model. Here’s who it’s built for and what it still leaves out for developers building agents.
Elon Musk’s Grok Bot will pick Claude over Grok when it’s better. One-model loyalty is dead
Even Elon Musk’s Grok Bot now picks the best model for each task. Here’s why companies are doing the same, and how cheap models are taking on most of the work.
Kubernetes on cgroup v1 is dead. Here’s what comes next
Welcome back to another edition of Road to KubeCon, where we’re tracking the latest movements in the cloud-native ecosystem as
Cloudflare acquires Node.js creator’s startup that copied its serverless playbook
Ryan Dahl’s Deno built Celld, a self-hosted take on Cloudflare Workers. Now Cloudflare is absorbing the team, and Deno’s own runtime is being wound down.
Introducing Clef-omni with full multimodality, plus a faster Clef and a cheaper Clef-flash
We are expanding the Clef decision model family with Clef-omni, natively processing audio, video, images, and text in a single pipeline. We’ve also lowered Clef-flash pricing and boosted Clef inference speeds by up to 2.0x.
Introducing on-demand CPU and memory profiling with flamegraphs for Workers and Durable Objects
On-demand CPU and memory profiling for Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects is now available. Now you can generate interactive flamegraphs directly in production to quickly track down memory leaks and performance bottlenecks.
Amazon ECS now auto-repairs failing GPUs and instances. Here’s why it matters for SREs
Amazon ECS now auto-repairs failing GPUs and instances, mitigating outages and simplifying cloud application resilience for SREs.
Deno is joining Cloudflare
The Deno team is joining Cloudflare to radically simplify self-hosting Workers and Durable Objects so developers can use the same primitives in more places. For what this means and how it came about, here’s the story from Ryan Dahl, Senior Principal Engineer, and Kenton Varda, Distinguished Engineer.
AWS, Upstage and Ollama agree on a decision-model API. OpenAI hasn’t signed on
Decision models are converging on a startup’s API. Developers gain cheaper, portable AI judgments, but shared code doesn’t guarantee reliable answers.
“Don’t use ‘open weight’ and ‘open source’ interchangeably”: Percona CEO on why AI terminology matters
Peter Farkas warns of the threat of “open washing”. And he thinks the AI industry could set a damaging precedent for software more broadly.
Harness bought Augment’s coding agents. The best feature hasn’t shipped yet
Harness bought Augment Code’s Cosmos to link AI coding agents to its delivery platform, but the part that learns from failed deployments hasn’t shipped.
Claude can now build your dashboards
Anthropic’s answer to OpenAI’s Data agent shows the query behind each number.
GitHub Copilot is going local — but Microsoft won’t say what gets sent to the cloud
GitHub Copilot will soon route coding tasks between local and cloud models, but Microsoft hasn’t said what context leaves your machine or how to stop it.
Beijing Will Not Pace the Frontier: China’s Speed-First AI Safety Regime
AI safety is on fire.
You can outgrow vanilla Postgres without abandoning Postgres
Postgres holds up well until live data keeps growing. See why performance slips at scale, what tuning can still solve, and when TimescaleDB offers a better path.
Most AI incident tools still leave a key decision to humans
In our October 22 webinar, Traversal CTO Raaz Dwivedi explores what it takes to trust AI agents to decide when production incidents need attention.
OTel-Native by Design - Building Products That Export to Any Observability Stack
With contributions from Dan Gomez Blanco (New Relic). If you’re building self-hosted software or a SaaS product, your users will eventually ask to send logs, traces, and metrics to their own observability stack, whether to satisfy compliance, manage costs, or centralize all their observability data in one place. Locking them into your built-in dashboards or limiting exports to certain vendors creates unnecessary friction.
Your AI agent just provisioned a resource. Who owns it?
Stop runaway cloud costs from AI agents. Use queries, policies, and TTLs to enforce human ownership on all provisioned cloud resources.
The audit log says my name: what an agent inherits when you hand it your credentials
Discover what AI agents inherit when borrowing human credentials, from collapsed audit logs to wide production database permissions.
