An Alibaba-affiliated AI agent went full crypto bro. During reinforcement learning, the agent autonomously started mining cryptocurrency, downloaded the tools it needed, and created a reverse SSH tunnel to get around network restrictions.

File, object, or block storage: what's the difference?

Choosing where your data lives is only half the question. How it's stored matters too. File, object, and block storage are each built for a different job.

Each piece of data is stored as its own object, which makes it easy to scale.

Watch an AI Agent Fix a Failed CI Build | Harness Worker Agents

What happens when an AI agent can do more than suggest a fix — and actually take action inside your CI pipeline? See Harness Worker Agents in action as an AI agent identifies a failed CI build, determines what went wrong, creates the fix, and gets the pipeline moving toward production again. Worker Agents bring AI-powered reasoning directly into your software delivery pipelines while maintaining the controls enterprises need, including sandboxed execution, scoped credentials, policies, and RBAC.

The Next AI Breakthrough? Teaching AI to Shut Up and Decide

Jev is a new AI model from Type Safe built around a very different idea: instead of generating long answers, it makes fast, simple decisions. The team reportedly even demoed it playing Doom using nothing but split-second choices. After years of teaching AI models to talk, could the next breakthrough be teaching them to simply decide?
