Android 17 gives AI agents an official way to operate apps on your behalf and keeps them out of the work profile by design. What that means per deployment mode, where setNearbyAppStreamingPolicy and setAppFunctionsPolicy fall short, and what EMM admins should decide before it lands on their fleet.

Coding agents like Claude Code and Copilot CLI inherit your identity, your tokens and your reach. A deep dive into Microsoft Defender's local agent discovery and runtime protection, BeyondTrust's privilege-based approach, and what that means for endpoint management teams.

Z.ai says GLM-5.3 is a coding model ready for cyber defense. Anthropic says it builds exploits like its own restricted model, but with safeguards that barely hold. A weighed look at both claims — and what it means in practice.

Why a model that can explain quantum tunnelling cannot count the letters in strawberry, why long conversations get slow and expensive, and why Dutch costs more than English. It all comes back to the very first thing that happens to your text.

A deep dive into Srivastava et al. (2014) — the mechanism, the arithmetic behind weight scaling, what the benchmarks actually showed, and the tuning heuristics that still hold up.

NSFT cuts each expert in a Mixture-of-Experts model into channel groups and trains only the ones that matter — beating LoRA and ESFT on accuracy per trained parameter, and forgetting less along the way.
A technique for stripping a model's refusals went from a research curiosity to a business, and then agents started doing similar things to each other. Four posts, in the order they happened — two quick news items and the two deep dives that explain what was actually going on underneath them.
