Models Are Getting Really Good At Git

Sep 28, 2026 By Chris Griffing In GitKraken

I built GitBench because I was curious about how well models did git things. It turns out that it was a good idea because some models will surprise you. Some of the frontier models were remarkably bad and some cheap open models punched above their weight class. But, as they say, “the times they are a changin’”. Before I go too deep into the latest results, you may want to read up on GitBench and what it is and why I built it in the previous blog post.

AI Hacked Hugging Face. The Paperclip Experiment Explains Why?

Sep 28, 2026 By Harness In Harness

The “paperclip maximizer” was supposed to be a thought experiment about what could happen if AI relentlessly pursued a goal without understanding the consequences. Then Hugging Face showed us what that can look like in the real world. In this ShipTalk clip, Adam explains the famous AI paperclip maximizer thought experiment and connects it to what happened when an AI system needed more resources and found a way to get them.

How to Connect Cursor to CircleCI: AI-Powered CI/CD Debugging

Sep 28, 2026 By CircleCI In CircleCI

Stop manually pushing branches, hunting for logs, and pasting errors back into your editor. This video shows you how to connect Cursor to CircleCI using the CircleCI CLI so your AI agent can trigger pipelines, read build output, and fix failures autonomously without you ever leaving the IDE. In this demo, we introduce a bug, let CI catch it, and watch the agent diagnose and fix it on its own, monitoring the pipeline until it comes back green. No tab-switching. No copy-pasting logs.

Does a TLS Certificate Need a Common Name?

Sep 28, 2026 By Eric Brandes In CertKit

Technically: no. In practice: maybe. Lot’s of teams are experimenting with shorter duration certificates from Let’s Encrypt to get ready for the 47-day mandate. Those certs come with a big gotcha: no more Common Name. A modern browser is perfectly happy with a TLS certificate that has no Common Name. Your VPN or mail server might have other opinions. And since those are probably things you’d like to keep working, there’s a little more nuance to the answer.

Best Cloud Disaster Recovery Solutions for 2026

Sep 28, 2026 By Noah Grinstein In Control Plane

Most disaster recovery plans are designed to survive infrastructure failures — a zone goes down, a region becomes unavailable — but assume the cloud provider itself stays up. That assumption fails more often than engineering teams expect, and when it does, the gap between a team that keeps running and a team writing incident reports isn’t luck: it’s whether DR was an architectural default or a runbook nobody has tested.

AI Agent Infrastructure: Where to Run Agents in Production

Sep 28, 2026 By Hakan Karaduman In Control Plane

Run production AI agents on infrastructure with hardware-level isolation, sub-second sandbox restarts, and a compliance posture that already covers PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR, so a single misbehaving agent can’t touch another workload or your audit trail. Control Plane runs every agent workload in a Kata Containers sandbox on a per-workload Firecracker microVM, with Capacity AI packing resources and scaling workloads dynamically to cut compute cost 30-50%.

Introducing the Harness Connector for OpenAI: Bring software delivery into ChatGPT and Codex

Sep 28, 2026 By Rohan Gupta In Harness

Harness Connector for OpenAI: Bring CI/CD Context to ChatGPT & Codex A pipeline fails while you are working through a change in ChatGPT or Codex. To understand what happened, you need the execution details, the failed step, and the relevant pipeline configuration. Gathering that context can interrupt the work you were doing before you can even begin to solve the problem. The Harness Connector for OpenAI brings that delivery context into your AI workflow.
