Evaluating AI Vulnerability Detection: How Reliable Are LLMs for Secure Coding? (Fri, 14 Nov 2025)
Large language models (LLMs) can be used to generate source code, and these AI coding assistants have changed the landscape for how we produce software. Speeding up boilerplate tasks like syntax checking, generating test cases, and suggesting bug fixes accelerates the time to deliver production-ready code. What about securing our code from vulnerabilities? If AI can understand entire repositories within a context window, one might jump to the conclusion that they can also be used to replace traditional security scanning tools that are based on static analysis of source code.

5 Agent CI/CD Evaluation Best Practices (Fri, 14 Nov 2025)
Building reliability into your production applications isn’t flashy, but evaluations are critical to success. This is especially true when it comes to testing the impact of system changes, as small tweaks to your AI agents — like prompt versions, agent orchestration, and model changes —  can have a large impact.

Spectre and Meltdown: How Modern CPUs Traded Security for Speed (Fri, 14 Nov 2025)
For years, CPU designers focused on making processors faster. Techniques like out-of-order and speculative execution became standard to keep every part of the chip busy. These tricks helped achieve huge performance gains, but they also opened the door to a new kind of vulnerability. In 2018, two major security flaws, Spectre and Meltdown, showed that the very features that made processors efficient could be used to steal private data from memory. These attacks broke some of the most fundamental assumptions about isolation between programs and the operating system.
