It is a mostly pointless exercise if the goal is trying to contain negative impact of AI agents (e.g. OpenClaw). It is a very necessary building block for many common features that can be steered in a more deterministic way, e.g. "code

Yes, the way this is being pushed online seems like there is a competitor involved. If not in the initial disclosure, then in the daily rehashing of it. It's also still unclear to me how much fraud they actually were involved in, and h

Because many people have a very narrow view of what MCP is useful for. For organizational usage there isn't really an alternative.

Frontier model developers don't make money, but inference providers do. For open weight models there is a healthy market of inference providers that operate profitably without VC backing.

This is true specifically for actions/checkout, but composite actions can have other actions as dependencies, and unless the composite action pins the versions of its dependencies, it is vulnerable for this attack. This article[0] give

Sorry, but what are you talking about? This is a 120B-A6B model, which isn't runnable on any laptop except the most beefed up Macbooks, and then will certainly drain its battery and cook your legs.

Monopoly isn't the only thing that allows you to charge large margins. API inference access is naturally a lot more costly to provide compared to Chat UI and Claude Code, as there is a lot more load to handle with less latency. In the

In the Azure Foundry, they list GPT 5.2 retirement as "No earlier than 2027-05-12" (it might leave OpenAIs normal API earlier than that). I'm pretty certain that Gemini 3, which isn't even in GA yet will be retired earli

That's true only in theory, but not in practice. In practice every inference provider handles errors (guardrails, rate limits) somewhat differently and with different quirks, some of which only surface in production usage, and Google i
