If you build software, you know that open-source projects are the bedrock of the entire commercial tech industry. But because the ecosystem is heavily decentralized and mostly run by volunteers, securing that code is a problem. OpenAI just announced a new initiative to help solve this exact problem. Dubbed "Patch the Planet" (a nod to the 1995 movie Hackers), the program teams OpenAI up with the cybersecurity firm Trail of Bits to actively defend open-source projects.
When Did Your Business Start Running You?
What started as ownership turned into obligation.
Now youāre in every meeting, decision, and channelā¦ not because you want to be, but because things stall without you.
Itās not a capacity issue. Itās a structure issue.
The Freedom Framework shows you how to rebuild work flows, so you can step back without things breaking down.
BELAY U.S.-based Assistants help make that real by bringing ownership to execution, so your business doesnāt rely on you to function.
For data analysts, pivot tables are a staple tool for transforming raw data into actionable insights. They enable quick summaries, flexible filtering, and detailed breakdowns, all without complex code. But when it comes to large datasets in Snowflake, using spreadsheets for pivot tables can be a challenge.
Google Cloud just introduced Open Knowledge Format (OKF) to make that context portable. It is a vendor-neutral spec that turns enterprise knowledge into Markdown files with YAML frontmatter, so agents can read it, search it, version it, and move it between tools without another custom integration. The nice part is how boring the format is. Just Markdown. Just files. Just a small set of structured fields like type, title, description, resource, tags, and timestamp.
How do companies like Netflix, Airbnb, and Doordash apply machine learning to improve their products and processes? We put together a database of 200 case studies from 64 companies that share practical ML use cases and learnings from designing ML systems.ļø
Overloading CLAUDE.md with unstructured instructions wastes context and makes Claude less effective. To fix this, developers can use seven specific customization methods, like skills and rules, to manage exactly when and how instructions load.
Youāll learn how a former L8 engineer at Meta built a high-performance, terminal-based AI coding workflow. This tutorial covers everything from workspace setup to training custom AI agents and managing multiple automated tasks simultaneously to supercharge your daily productivity.
AI/Tech Angle A, June - Secondary
Claude vs Gemini. GPT-7 vs Llama 5. Which AI lab ships AGI first. These are live Kalshi markets with real money on both sides, updated in real time as releases land. The person who follows model cards and tracks evals has a genuine edge here. If that's you, trade it.

AI News:
ā”ļø OpenAI deploys GPT-5.5-Cyber
OpenAI expanded Daybreak with an upgraded Codex Security tool that scans code then drafts a tested fix for a human to approve. Since March it has covered over 30 million commits across 30,000 codebases and helped close more than 500,000 findings. OpenAI also released GPT-5.5-Cyber which reached a record 85.6 percent on the CyberGym test and goes only to verified defenders. Security firms like Cloudflare and CrowdStrike can now run it inside their own products.
10x the context. Half the time.
Speak your prompts into ChatGPT or Claude and get detailed, paste-ready input that actually gives you useful output. Wispr Flow captures what you'd cut when typing. Free on Mac, Windows, and iPhone.
Getting carded at your desk sounds interesting. And according to Anthropic, it might happen. In order to allow users to appeal having their account flagged for potentially fraudulent activity (rather than outright banning them), the AI giant might ask Claude users to verify their age and identity by uploading their government-issued documents.
Meta just named Indian entrepreneur Kunal Shah as WhatsAppās next Chief, succeeding Will Cathcart, who is stepping down after nearly seven years at the helm to take on a new product-building role at the company. The move comes alongside a Meta-led $900 million financing round for Shahās Indian fintech giant CRED (but will involve Shah stepping down as CEO).
Nvidia has created a lab where robot makers and customers can run safety tests before going to regulators to receive the necessary certifications. Engineers at the lab can help with pre-inspection work and engineering tweaks as needed. Robot safety design is much more complicated than safety design for autonomous vehicles, which generally just involves avoiding contact with people and other objects.
Google just put $75M behind indie film studio A24, pairing it with DeepMind to provide access to AI infrastructure and researchers ā positioning the coming tools as filmmaker-shaped workflows rather than complete AI movie generation. The deal gives Google its first studio stake, while A24 gets DeepMind research support across several projects without handing over any film library or data.

How to edit videos using Google Flow in minutes
You can use Google Flow to edit videos with simple text prompts. You donāt need to be a pro video editor. Just describe what you want changed, and Flow can create a new version for you. Here is how:
Go to Google Flow and sign in with your Google account.
Click on Try Omni and upload the video you want to edit
Paste in your prompt.
Wait for Completion. Since the Omni model is working on video, it may take longer than a normal text task.
Google Flow will show the new video result. You can review it, change your prompt, create another version, or save the best one.
