This ~Week in AI¶
AI News you can Use. ;)
General¶
- It’s not just you — Claude Code users hitting usage limits 'way faster than expected'
- Conversely, OpenAI Codex resetting rate limits every 1M users!
- Uh-oh: Claude’s code: Anthropic leaks source code for AI software engineering tool
- Note: It is highly recommended that people who work on open source code DO NOT look at this :)
(In)Security¶
- LiteLLM compromise (PyPi)
- Axios compromise (npm)
- Project Glasswing — cross-industry effort by Anthropic to secure the world’s most critical software.
- cURL maintainer notes that AI has shifted from “slop” security reports to really good ones, at a frequency that puts OSS maintainers under serious load
