As large language models have become increasingly powerful, a growing number of developers are asking a critical question: do we really need to send our code to cloud-based services like OpenAI and Anthropic? The answer, increasingly, is no. A new generation of open-source models and local inference engines is making it possible to run sophisticated AI coding assistants entirely on your own hardware, with complete privacy and no subscription costs.

In a chilling demonstration of modern supply chain attacks, security researcher Roman Imankulov recently discovered a sophisticated backdoor hidden in a GitHub repository shared by a fake recruiter on LinkedIn. The attack reveals how cybercriminals are exploiting the trust developers place in code review requests and npm's automatic script execution to compromise systems.
The attack began innocuously enough: a recruiter from a small crypto startup contacted Imankulov on LinkedI...]]>

In June 2026, the municipality of Rio de Janeiro announced Rio-3.5-Open-397B, presented as a homegrown large language model developed by their IT company IplanRIO. The announcement generated excitement — a Brazilian city developing its own state-of-the-art AI model seemed like a triumph for local tech innovation.
Then researchers looked at the weights.
Within hours, it became clear that Rio-3.5 wasn't a homegrown model at al...]]>

In June 2026, Daniel Haxx, the lead maintainer of curl, announced something radical: the curl project would not accept vulnerability reports during the entire month of July. The curl team would be taking a vacation — a real vacation, not the kind where you check your email every five minutes.
This announcement, dubbed "curl summer of bliss," sparked both celebration and concern in the tech community. Some praised it as a necessary stand again...]]>

Large language models have been getting bigger and bigger context windows. We've gone from 4K tokens to 8K, then 32K, 100K, 200K, and now we're seeing models with 1 million token context windows. The numbers keep growing, and vendors keep marketing these massive context windows as a key feature.
But here's the uncomfortable truth: most of those tokens aren't actually usable. There's a "smart zone" where the model performs well, and a "dumb zone" where performance degrades significan...]]>

Wayland, the modern display server protocol for Linux, has a stated goal that resonates deeply with software developers and designers: "every frame is perfect." While Wayland's focus is on the technical side of GPU stacks and display protocols, this principle extends far beyond graphics infrastructure. It's a philosophy that should guide how we approach user interface design and animation in all software.
The question is simple but profound: if I take a screenshot of your app at any...]]>

Large Language Models have transformed how we work, but they've also created a paradox: the same tools that can accelerate our productivity can also short-circuit the learning process. When an LLM can write your code for you, why bother understanding how it works? Lathe is an experiment in using LLMs differently — not to do the thinking for you, but to teach you how to think about new domains.
Lathe generates hands-on, multi-part technical tutorials on demand, then guides you throug...]]>
