Most agents run on borrowed sessions. The user authenticates, the agent inherits their full OAuth token, and a support agent that looks up invoices can also refund, delete, and modify. The agent needed read access to one record. The blast radius is every account in the system.WorkOS is built to solve it. Agents need their own identity, scoped credentials, and permission boundaries. WorkOS ships the OAuth flows, RBAC, and fine-grained authorization to scope what each agent can do, plus audit logs tied to every agent, every action, every authorization.Read the full guide →

Huawei expects to be able to make chips on par with leading products manufactured by Intel and other top global companies by 2031. It has developed a technique that can create chips that match the transistor density of those manufactured with a 1.4-nanometer process. The US has restricted China's access to advanced semiconductor technologies since 2022. Huawei's technology could remove this obstacle for China in its tech rivalry with the US.

The Ferrari Luce, designed in partnership with Jony Ive, is an electric vehicle that will test the appetite of the superrich for EVs. The first Ferrari with five seats, the Luce will be among the most expensive Ferraris that aren't part of a limited production run at a starting price of roughly $640,000. It accelerates from 0 to 60 miles an hour in less than 2.5 seconds with a top speed that exceeds 190 mph. The vehicle has a range of roughly 330 miles despite an unusually large battery.

The scientific loop has four roles: poser, proposer, verifier, and curator. These roles are not interchangeable. While AI is getting better at some roles, which questions are worth asking remains entirely human. The question of what to look for has not been automated.

A team of engineers from Japan's Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and several Japanese universities has completed a successful ground combustion trial of a ramjet engine designed for a Mach-5 hypersonic aircraft. The test simulated a flight at five times the speed of sound. It was focused on validating the aircraft's heat-shielding, control surfaces, and engine performance under extreme conditions. The project's goal is commercial hypersonic passenger service by the 2040s.

Should you choose Claude, Gemini, GPT, or an open source model for AI-powered search? Algolia tested every major LLM (24 models altogether) on 1,577 shopping queries across three dimensions of quality: addressing user queries with relevant info, avoiding hallucinations, and responding in users' language. Understand which LLMs perform best

Microsoft Webwright is a simple SWE-style browser agent framework that achieves state-of-the-art results on long-horizon web tasks. It gives agents a terminal that allows them to launch multiple browser sessions to inspect pages and complete web tasks. Webwright captures and inspects screenshots only when needed, and it enforces each web task to be completed end-to-end within a re-runnable Python script. It uses a small harness that adds just enough structure around completion, context, and reuse to avoid creating new failure modes.

Agent Sandbox enables the easy management of isolated, stateful, singleton workloads. It is ideal for use cases like AI agent runtimes. The core Sandbox API allows users to manage a single, stateful pod with a stable identity and persistent storage. Agent Sandbox supports extensions that build on the core Sandbox API to provide more advanced features.

AI will absolutely disrupt the job market, but the US has a long track record of creating new jobs in response to disruption. The growing demand for data centers has created more than 200,000 construction jobs since 2022. AI may eliminate jobs in some sectors, but it will lead to growth in others. The US economy can and will adapt to major advances in technology.

Microsoft is canceling most direct Claude Code licenses within its Experiences and Devices group. Affected engineers have been told to migrate to GitHub Copilot CLI by June 30. The pullback shows how the unit economics of enterprise AI coding do not work at current token prices.

Many people seem to think the point of AI coding is to write low-quality code as fast as possible, but the technology can also be used to write high-quality code.

Pope Leo XIV has issued a letter warning that AI will reduce humans to mere cogs in a system driven toward ever greater efficiency and that the concentration of power in the hands of a few private actors must be countered.

GELT will be tied to the official currency of the country of Georgia and enable lower transaction costs, near-instant settlement, programmable payments, and more.

It's infuriating to invest time into reading something only to realize the author didn't invest the corresponding amount of time into writing it.

Greek swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev broke the non-enhanced world record time of 20.88 with a 20.81-second swim, earning him $250,000 for first place and a $1 million bonus for eclipsing the non-enhanced world record.

Epic Games has released a short teaser trailer showing an updated version of Rocket League running on Unreal Engine 6 with more detailed car models and dynamic lighting reflections.
