Today, we laid out our vision for GitHub as the most comprehensive, end-to-end software delivery system in the world. The post GitHub Universe 2026: Evolving every layer of the stack appeared first on The GitHub Blog.
When evaluating AI models for observability, generating a plausible query or explanation isn't enough. Teams need to know whether an agent's conclusions are supported by telemetry, whether its changes to dashboards actually work, and whether it can deliver reliable results consistently. This is why we built o11y-bench, Grafana Labs' open benchmark for evaluating AI models on observability and SRE tasks. And today, we're excited to share two updates: o11y-bench is now part of the Specialized Inte
See how a record year of growth reached every industry, every field, and every kind of builder in the 2026 Octoverse report. The post Octoverse: Commits, pushes, reach new highs in 2026 as developers build with agents appeared first on The GitHub Blog.
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of what appears to be an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted attack orchestrated by a suspected China-nexus threat actor that has leveraged the PHP2Shell vulnerabilities to breach exposed systems. The activity, which was observed on October 25, 2026, involved an attacker combining PHP2Shell with a kernel privilege escalation exploit to root
TL;DR Reddit's public .json listings let you scrape a subreddit in about 100 lines of Go. You decode the listing envelope, follow the after cursor, send an honest User-Agent, and back off on HTTP 429. There are two hard limits: a listing stops at roughly 1,000 items, and requests from cloud or datacenter IPs often get a flat 403. For anything in production, use the official OAuth API or a managed endpoint. Reddit is one of the richest public sources of opinion data on the web. Product teams mine
This post describes the next generation of Meta Andromeda, Meta’s personalized ads retrieval engine, and how co-designing the model, system, and GPU hardware unlocks a new efficiency frontier for ads retrieval. In production, the system scores every eligible ad with near ranking-level model performance at retrieval scale and surfaces the top candidates at over one [...] Read More...

Imagine you've just launched a new semantic search feature for product reviews to help customers quickly research products on your site. Users love it. But the next day, you see an announcement for a new vector embedding model promising higher accuracy, better nuance, and multilingual search out of the box. After testing it in your dev environment, you confirm it's a perfect fit. But now you're left with a common dilemma: How do you upgrade the model without disrupting your users? Upgrading embe
As AI and agents reshape the enterprise, CISOs face two critical priorities: enabling innovation with the right identity and data guardrails, and modernizing defense to keep pace with AI-powered threats. Aarti Borkar shares how security leaders can approach both. The post The CISO’s evolving role: Protecting and defending in the agentic era appeared first on Microsoft Security Blog.
