Large price cuts widen the range of background jobs that can justify a model—and make routing more important.
The AI-tool adoption problem is trust, not training
Teams adopt fast-changing tools when the surrounding process makes output predictable and accountable.
Claude Code can turn /init into code execution—when the guardrails are already off
An experiment shows how untrusted repository content can steer a highly autonomous coding agent toward remote execution.
