As the industry declares 2026 the year of “agentic AI,” attention has centered on model leaderboards, GPU counts, and ever-larger context windows. But for organizations actually deploying autonomous agents in production — to book travel, manage cloud infrastructure, diagnose outages,… Read More »Why Agentic AI Needs a Data Constitution Before More GPUs
When Makina Finance was hit by a multimillion-dollar exploit, it wasn’t the protocol’s governance, security council, or even the attacker who ultimately dictated where most of the money went. It was a Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) builder. The incident exposes… Read More »How MEV Bots Hijacked a $4.1M DeFi Exploit — And Claimed the Power to Decide Who Gets Repaid

Bitcoin’s latest swing around the $80,000–$90,000 band has far less to do with fresh spot demand and far more to do with how leverage is being built up and flushed out in futures. The data over January shows a market… Read More »How Bitcoin’s $80K ‘Liquidation Treadmill’ Is Being Driven by Futures Positioning
Security teams are buying AI defenses that do not hold up once attackers adapt. A joint October 2025 study by researchers from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind is unequivocal: when tested under realistic, adaptive attack conditions, 12 published defenses against… Read More »Adaptive AI Attacks Are Beating Today’s Defenses: How CISOs Should Question Vendors
OpenAI is running ChatGPT and its API platform — serving around 800 million users — on a single primary PostgreSQL instance. Not a distributed SQL cluster, not a heavily sharded fleet, but one write primary with nearly 50 read replicas… Read More »Inside OpenAI’s PostgreSQL Strategy: Scaling a Single Primary to 800 Million Users
