Nathan Lambert: Open Models Will Never Catch Up

Open models will be the engine for the next ten years of AI research, according to Nathan Lambert, a research scientist at AI2. He explains that while open models may not catch up with closed ones due to fewer resources, they are still crucial for innovation. Lambert emphasizes the importance of int.. read more

Towards self-driving codebases

OpenAI spun up a swarm of GPT-5.x agents - thousands of them. Over a week-long sprint, they cranked out runnable browser code and shipped it nonstop. The system hit 1,000 commits an hour across 10 million tool calls. The architecture? A planner-worker stack. Hierarchical. Recursive. Lean on agent ch.. read more

Scaling PostgreSQL to power 800 million ChatGPT users

OpenAI pushedPostgreSQLto handle millions of QPS across 800M users. How? Nearly 50 read replicas, heavy read offloading, and serious trimming on write pressure. Writes? Sent elsewhere. Sharded systems likeCosmosDB, lazy writes, and app-level tweaks helped sidestep PostgreSQL’sMVCCwrite amplification.. read more

CloudBees CEO: Why Migration Is a Mirage Costing You Millions

A new CloudBees survey shows 57% of enterprises dropped over $1M on cloud migrations last year. Each effort blew past budget by an average of $315K. The kicker? Many teams still treatmodernization as migration- a shortcut that usually leads to drained budgets, burned-out devs, and delays in shipping.. read more

The only Terraform pipeline you will ever need: GitHub Actions for Multi-Environment Deployments
Sigstore is an open source initiative designed to make software artifact signing and verification simple, automatic, and widely accessible. Its primary goal is to improve software supply chain security by enabling developers and organizations to cryptographically prove the origin and integrity of the software they build and distribute.

At its core, sigstore removes many of the traditional barriers associated with code signing. Instead of managing long-lived private keys manually, sigstore supports keyless signing, where identities are issued dynamically using OpenID Connect (OIDC) providers such as GitHub Actions, Google, or Microsoft. This dramatically lowers operational complexity and reduces the risk of key compromise.

The sigstore ecosystem is composed of several key components:

- Cosign: A tool for signing, verifying, and storing signatures for container images and other artifacts. Signatures are stored alongside artifacts in OCI registries, rather than embedded in them.

- Fulcio: A certificate authority that issues short-lived X.509 certificates based on OIDC identities, enabling keyless signing.

- Rekor: A transparency log that records signing events in an append-only, tamper-evident ledger. This provides public auditability and detection of suspicious or malicious signing activity.

Together, these components allow anyone to verify who built an artifact, when it was built, and whether it has been tampered with, using publicly verifiable cryptographic proofs. This aligns closely with modern supply chain security practices such as SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts).

sigstore is widely adopted in the cloud-native ecosystem and integrates with tools like Kubernetes, container registries, CI/CD pipelines, and package managers. It is commonly used to sign container images, Helm charts, binaries, and SBOMs, and is increasingly becoming a baseline security requirement for production software delivery.

The project is governed by the OpenSSF (Open Source Security Foundation) and supported by major industry players.
