Mago: Blazing Fast Static Analysis for PHP

Mago: Blazing Fast Static Analysis for PHP

Video version: https://youtu.be/ZtAKnN6jWbE I love static analysis tools to a degree that my co-workers find annoying. Tools like PHPStan and Psalm catch bugs before they ever reach production, and once you get used to that safety net, it is impossible to imagine coding without it. But there is one thing about these tools that drives […] The post Mago: Blazing Fast Static Analysis for PHP appeared first on PHP Architect.

Socket Is Sponsoring Composer and Packagist

Socket Is Sponsoring Composer and Packagist

Socket is a launch sponsor of the new Composer and Packagist sponsorship program, announced by Nils Adermann, Jordi Boggiano, and the team that keeps PHP's package infrastructure running. Like many other widely used open source registries, Packagist has been under mounting pressure to sustain critical infrastructure as the demands on it grow. "Usage keeps rising, supply chain attacks have increased in both frequency and sophistication, regulatory and compliance requirements around software…

Advancing the price-performance frontier with GPT‑5.6

Advancing the price-performance frontier with GPT‑5.6

Advancing the price-performance frontier with GPT‑5.6 Huge price drop from OpenAI today: GPT-5.6 Terra got a 20% reduction, and GPT-5.6 Luna got a massive 80% drop. OpenAI credit 5.6 Sol with enabling this: in How GPT‑5.6 fuses frontier intelligence with frontier efficiency they describe using 5.6 Sol to optimize load balancing, and more impressively to optimize inference itself: We also used GPT‑5.6 Sol to optimize the model’s forward pass: the computation that transforms inputs into…

Investigating three real-world incidents in our cybersecurity evaluations

Investigating three real-world incidents in our cybersecurity evaluations

Investigating three real-world incidents in our cybersecurity evaluations It happened again! This is turning into something of a pattern. Last week OpenAI accidentally exploited Hugging Face when one of their frontier models broke out of a sandboxed container and hacked into Hugging Face to try and get the solutions to the cyber benchmark it was executing. This inspired Anthropic to double-check their own logs, and it turned out they had three similar (albeit less impressive) incidents, the…

llm 0.32rc2

llm 0.32rc2

Release: llm 0.32rc2 Hot on the heels of RC1, this fixes a dependency issue and also adds two neat new features: The default model for users who have not set their own default is now GPT-5.6 Luna. It was previously GPT-4o mini. Luna is a much better and more recent model, albeit slightly more expensive - $0.20 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output tokens, compared to $0.15/$0.60 for 4o mini. You can switch back to 4o mini using llm models default gpt-4o-mini, or switch to GPT-5…

Quoting Bruce Schneier

Quoting Bruce Schneier

The writing assignments I give my students are gym tasks, not work tasks. I ask them to write policy memos not because the world needs more policy memos. I assign them because the very act of writing, which includes thinking and outlining and drafting and editing, making and criticizing and revising arguments, will help develop the critical thinking skills they will need in their future careers. And without this constant mental exercise, those skills will atrophy. Employers are already…

llm-chat-completions-server 0.1a0

Release: llm-chat-completions-server 0.1a0 A key goal of the new content-addressable logs in LLM 0.32rc1 was being able to support OpenAI Chat Completion style requests where each incoming message extends the previous conversation, like this: curl http://localhost:8002/v1/chat/completions \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{ "model": "qwen3.5-4b", "messages": [ {"role": "user", "content": "Capital of France?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Paris."}, {"role": "user", "content":…

llm 0.32rc1

llm 0.32rc1

Release: llm 0.32rc1 This RC for LLM 0.32 finishes the work that started in LLM 0.32a0 - it adds a new schema design that does a much better job of capturing the details of the prompts and responses returned by the latest model families. The most important change is the use of content-addressable hash IDs for stored messages. This allows de-duplication in the database, and means that LLM can now represent trees of messages for forked conversations. Since it involves a significant schema change…
