CodeRabbit is expanding its AI-powered Code Review platform into what it calls “Agentic Change Management” by adding new capabilities targeted at helping developers navigate the growing volume and complexity of code changes generated by vibe coding agents. These new capabilities include Triage, Change Stack, and a Security Agent. While Triage is designed to prioritize incoming pull requests (PRs) before developers spend time reviewing them, Change Stack is designed to help developers understand what those changes could affect, David Loker , VP of AI at CodeRabbit, told InfoWorld . “Triage, at one end, evaluates changes using signals including business value, urgency, risk, effort, readiness, dependencies, linked issues, ownership, and reviewer fit to place pull requests into priority bands and can also recommend next actions for reviewers,” Loker said. “Change Stack, on the other hand, analyzes a change alongside definitions, usages, dependencies, interfaces, contracts, data flows, and repository architecture to provide an interactive blast radius view and architecture analysis to show relationships between the change and other parts of the application,” Looker added. The Security Agent further extends that analysis to the broader codebase, according to the company, by scanning committed source code and also recurrently scanning supported infrastructure-as-code, dependencies, software bill of materials (SBOMs) , and configuration with the intention to identify vulnerabilitie…

Honor’s new China-exclusive Android phone features a pop-out motorized gimbal camera designed to replace your action cam.
The Robot Phone, which launches today in China, doesn't sound like a good idea - and not only because it's not actually a robot. Instead it's a regular Android smartphone with its main camera installed on a compact gimbal arm that unfolds from the phone's rear. Cramming the equivalent of a DJI Osmo Pocket inside […]

Deep-tech startup Quarkitech has raised Rs 2 crore in a pre-seed funding round from Artha Access, a programme of Artha Venture Fund II, and Finvolve. The Chennai-based startup has also received a Rs 1.5 crore grant from IITM-CDOT Samgnya Technologies Foundation under the National Quantum Mission, a national programme approved by the Union Cabinet in 2023. The funds will be used to develop a core compression algorithm library that reduces sensor data at the source before it is stored, processed or transmitted, Quarkitech said in a press release. Founded in January 2025 by Rajesh Narayanan, Sanyam Parashar, Shashikant Singh Kunwar and Vishnu P.K., Quarkitech develops simulation and quantum-inspired algorithmic solvers for large-scale combinatorial optimisation across areas such as finance, deep science and mission-critical applications. The startup’s algorithms can compress sensor data by 10 to 100 times, depending on the sensor type, while retaining information relevant to the application. The company said this can allow platforms to transmit more usable data within existing bandwidth and power constraints without requiring additional hardware or communication infrastructure. Its algorithm library is hardware-agnostic, allowing it to run on existing compute infrastructure without requiring specialized hardware. It can be deployed across CPUs and GPUs already available on platforms, and can be integrated with onboard computers used in UAVs, satellites, and ground systems. The…
SRPO sounds interesting, especially if it can reduce reinforcement-learning post-training costs without sacrificing reasoning performance. I came across aviator while reading about newer approaches to LLM training and found the idea of history resampling particularly interesting. Improvements in training efficiency could make advanced reasoning models much more practical to develop and iterate on. I’d be curious to see whether the same gains hold across broader tasks beyond math and coding.

Epistemic status: Speculative psychoanalysis to illustrate a point Many people have observed that Tyler Cowen's Act Like it is science is a clear case of an isolated demand for rigor . I agree, but I feel it's worth trying to understand how he ended up there. Tyler Cowen is clearly very intelligent, so he's unlikely to have written such a howler without something interesting going on. Pychoanalysing others is slightly uncouth, but Tyler started it [1] , so I don't feel bad here. My intuition is that when Tyler imagines certain scenarios he becomes anxious. The longer he engages with these thoughts, the more anxious he becomes. It's hard to be rational when you're anxious and it's quite natural simplify this to "all these thoughts are irrational". Now, when someone is suffering from irrational anxiety, the typical advice isn't "keep thinking about it until you realise where you're being irrational", but "don't engage with those thoughts, it's a trap" . Cognitive behavioral therapy may seem like a counter-example, but it's the exception that proves the rule [2] . It pretends to be about challenging yourself to ask whether your negative assumptions are based in fact, but as far as I can tell, it appears to be about wielding isolated demands of rigor as mantras to provide your over-active mind a convenient excuse to believe what it wants. If it were really about rationality, it would ask you whether the situation was even worse than you thought and whether you were simply tellin…

HRH Projects: SLM with LLM Fallback Recently I combined my earlier Intent Router project with a smaller local-first conversational model I have been experimenting with. Here is a video showcasing the project: SLM - Small Language Model The basic idea is: Let the smaller, inspectable system handle requests when it is confident enough, and only fall back to a larger LLM when it actually needs one. Instead of sending every message directly to something like gpt-oss:20b or gpt-oss:120b , the chatbot first attempts to understand, retrieve, plan, and answer the request locally. For clarity, when I use SLM here I mean the smaller local model/system . It is not a miniature transformer or LLM. The local model is mostly a classical/hybrid conversational system built from retrieval algorithms, symbolic language processing, small trained statistical models, memory, planning, and deterministic grounding checks. The local system The local chatbot uses a mixture of traditional/classical techniques, including: TF-IDF retrieval BM25 character-based similarity Bayesian/category evidence symbolic language parsing request decomposition and planning grounding checks session memory and entity tracking ambiguity handling example-trained repeat/revision detection a small learned social-state transition model a separate learned response-policy model The retrieval system does not simply check: if user_prompt == "What is Mars?" return "Mars is..." Training records contain multiple example phrasings, a…
Welcome to the Forum @cyrusis The issue you present is very valid one. OpenAI is a Company that is based in the United States. As such it has to comply with the law by set by the US government. This includes regulatory aspects of the law. Because of this OpenAI, not by the lack of will, but because it has to abide by this, and can’t decide or act differently in order to enable it’s services in Russia. This also applies to other territories for X, Y and Z reason. Would be ideal to have open borders for everyone on everything, reality is sadly not that. As for your previous non-edited post, it is fine to post that, it was explaining thoroughly your point of view and how this affects/enables factors from your point of view. Let’s hope at some point things normalize around the world and some mutual cooperation can start happening again.
