Production engineering coverage spanning agent infrastructure, supply chain security, and developer platform launches. Mechanism teardowns include Amazon Bedrock AgentCore’s six layers, A2A protocol v1.0 with signed agent cards, SmolVM Firecracker microVM sandboxing for AI agents, North Korea’s Contagious Interview operation expanding across npm, PyPI, Go, Rust, and Packagist simultaneously, and Axios npm’s compromise that turned 100 million weekly downloads into a RAT distribution network.
Coverage centers on systems engineers can actually deploy, attacks they need to defend against, and platform decisions that change the cost structure of running production AI. Recent pieces include Apple’s Private Cloud Compute architecture running a custom 1.2-trillion-parameter Gemini on Apple silicon, the OpenClaw skills marketplace exposing 104 CVEs and 1,184 malicious packages, Claude building a FreeBSD kernel exploit in 4 hours and what that means for defender economics, and the leak of 512,000 lines of Claude Code source revealing the KAIROS always-on agent architecture.
The threshold for inclusion: enough technical specificity that a senior engineer reading the piece could explain to their team how the system works, where it breaks, and which version dependency or configuration variable makes the difference. No press release rewrites. Every article links the primary source for verification: GitHub repository, security advisory, SEC filing, vendor documentation, official changelog.
