AI reasoning explained: smarter models still need context

Every few months, a new AI model drops with higher benchmark scores, and the reaction is predictable: "This one finally reasons." The leaderboard shuffles. And teams building production AI systems still watch their agents hallucinate or mishandle ques...

Grok Imagine Video 1.5 on AI Gateway

Grok Imagine Video 1.5 from xAI is now available on AI Gateway. The model generates video from an input image with synchronized audio in a single pass. This release improves audio quality, prompt following, and photorealism. Face accuracy and character consistency are stronger across longer sequences, with better lighting and physical realism in the output. Reference image support has been expanded to give more control over visual style and subject. To use this model, set model to in the AI SDK

Access - SAML assertion encryption for identity providers

Cloudflare Access now supports SAML assertion encryption for identity provider integrations. When turned on, your identity provider encrypts SAML assertions using a Cloudflare-managed certificate before sending them through the user's browser. Only Access can decrypt these assertions, protecting sensitive identity data even after TLS termination. Without encryption, SAML assertions are transmitted in plaintext and could be visible to browser extensions or client-side malware. SAML encryption in

Building Your First Developer Agent With OpenAI Agents SDK

A developer agent should not start by writing code. That may sound strange, but if you are building an agent for real engineering work, the first version should be cautious. It should read an issue, inspect the codebase, create a plan, suggest tests, and generate a pull request summary. Only later should it edit files. That is how you build trust. In this article, we will build a small developer agent using the OpenAI Agents SDK. The goal is not to create a fully autonomous engineer. The goal is
