Nov 4, 2026 By Jacob Schmitt In CircleCI
Property-based testing is a software testing technique that checks whether a program satisfies general rules, called properties, across many automatically generated inputs.

The Evaluation Factory: How We Make Agents Measurably Better, Run After Run

Nov 4, 2026 By Itiel Shwartz In Komodor
Ask a team running an agent in production whether last week’s change made it better. Most can’t say. They swapped a model or rewrote a skill, eyeballed a few runs, and moved on. That works for a demo.

Two weeks later, Anthropic said an unreleased Claude model had found and exploited serious vulnerabilities in Chrome, Safari, Android, Windows, and Linux.

Nov 3, 2026 By Almaden AI In Almaden AI
