AI in production. Reliability in practice.
Latest edition ·The cover story
BeginnerA local model can keep inference on your computer. The surrounding app may still use cloud services, connected tools, telemetry and synced storage. Here is how those routes differ, and which choices actually change them.

Critical PHP flaws, AI-assisted exploit research and stolen API keys are real concerns. Here is what the evidence establishes, what it does not, and how an operations team can respond without confusing a patch with a clean bill of health.
Eve puts an agent's instructions, tools and integrations in a project you control. Its more interesting contribution is what happens after the conversation starts.
How Foundry, Gotham, AIP and Apollo connect information, people and operational work, and why the connections matter as much as the AI.
T3 Code brings your coding agents, project conversations and diffs into one workspace. Learn how it works, try a small repair and understand what stays on the host.
OpenCode is an open-source AI coding assistant that works with your project’s files and tools. Here’s what that means, what changed in 2.x, and how to try a small repair without handing it your whole environment.
Follow the changes in learning methods, data and compute that led to today’s models, and see why newer does not always mean better for a task.

Google’s new reasoning model promises to stay with difficult work. Here is what that means for coding, research and investigations, and how to check the result.

UserRepGen turns a conversation into task and behavior descriptions. Follow the intermediate artifact through a synthetic support-assistant evaluation.
Reliability in practice
Incidents, on-call work, and the decisions behind reliable systems.
Separate detection from response and find delays that an improving average can conceal.
Guide
A backup cleanup can pass its tests while an older data format remains unverified. A risk registry preserves that distinction for the next engineering decision.
Guide
Disturbed nights, specialist help and cleanup consume capacity beyond the primary shift. A workload worksheet connects that demand to staffing and delivery plans.
Put it to work
Put incident timestamps in order and examine the intervals between failure, detection, investigation, and recovery.
Build a timelineTurn a known failure into a procedure with scope, actions, escalation, and recovery checks.
Build a runbookTrack corrective actions alongside verification criteria and the risk that remains.
