GLM 5.3 now available on AI Gateway

is now available on AI Gateway.GLM 5.3 from Z.ai GLM 5.3 has improvements vs. GLM 5.2 at complex software engineering and at agent tasks that run across many steps, and it reaches those results while producing fewer output tokens than GLM 5.2 did at the same effort level. Z.ai also reports stronger vulnerability discovery, including reasoning across the successive stages of an exploitation chain. measures that work directly, scoring how reliably a model finds security vulnerabilities in applica

Sign JWTs from your Functions without managing private keys

Vercel KMS lets you sign JWTs and arbitrary messages from your Vercel Functions using managed asymmetric signing keys, so private keys never live in your code or environment variables. Your function authenticates with its token, and the private key stays inside Vercel's key management service while verifiers use only the public key.Vercel OIDC With Vercel KMS you can: Sign a token inside a function: Verify a token anywhere with a standard JOSE library, using the issuer's public JWKS: Set up an

ReAct agents explained: concepts & practical uses

If you've watched an AI coding assistant hunt down a bug, run a test, read the failure, and adapt its next fix, you've watched Reasoning and Acting (ReAct)-like behavior at work. ReAct is a common pattern in production agent systems today. It's simple...

Why Doesn't ChatGPT Know Your Startup? 48 Tested, 4 Known

Quick answer: ChatGPT doesn't know your startup because name recall comes from training data, and a young product has few of the third-party mentions (G2, Crunchbase, Reddit, press) that models learn names from. But a search-grounded model can still find you by category. In a test of 48 AI-built startups, a model named only 4, yet recommended 28 of them when asked for the best tools in their category. I ran 48 AI-native products through a recognition test in one afternoon. A language model with

The Grid Awakens: CSS Grid vs Flexbox — A Star Wars Tale

The Quest Begins (The "Why") I was building a dashboard for a side‑project last month. The design called for a header, a sidebar, a main content area, and a footer that needed to stay glued to the bottom no matter how short the page was. I reached for Flexbox because, honestly, it’s the go‑to for most layout tasks. I whipped up a column flex container, stuck the sidebar and main area inside, and set flex: 1 on the main block so it would take up the remaining space. Everything looked fine… un

Reddit’s AI is turning posts into podcasts and short videos

Reddit is trying out a new way for people to take in content on Reddit: by turning text posts into audio / video content. As part of an experiment, some posts are being adapted into videos that use AI voices to read the text of the main post and some comments. The video highlights the text as it's read by the AI voice, and under the video, a note says that it's a "Real conversation voiced by AI." An old post in r/boardgames from eight years ago with 101 responses to a request for good road trip
