datasette 1.0a31

Release: datasette 1.0a31 Another significant alpha release, with two new headline features. Datasette now offers users with the necessary permissions the ability to both execute write queries against their database and to save stored queries (renamed from "canned queries") both privately and for use by other members of their Datasette instance.

Anthropic's run-rate revenue hits $47 billion

Anthropic's run-rate revenue hits $47 billion

The most interesting thing about Anthropic's $65B Series H announcement is this line (emphasis mine): Since our Series G in February, adoption has continued to grow across global enterprise customers, and our run-rate revenue crossed $47 billion earlier this month. Anthropic have made a bit of a habit of sharing their "run-rate revenue" in this kind of announcement, which is an annualized projection of their current revenue - typically calculated by taking the most recent month and multiplying…

Claude Opus 4.8: "a modest but tangible improvement"

Claude Opus 4.8: "a modest but tangible improvement"

Anthropic shipped Claude Opus 4.8 today. My favourite thing about it is this note in the release announcement: Users will find Opus 4.8 to be a modest but tangible improvement on its predecessor. There’s still more to be done: we’re working on developing and releasing models that provide many of the same capabilities as Opus at a lower cost. It's so refreshing to see an AI lab honestly describe a release as a minor incremental improvement over the previous model! Honesty seems to be a theme.…

Release: llm-anthropic 0.25.1 New model: Claude Opus 4.8 (claude-opus-4.8). New -o fast 1 option for fast mode, for organizations with that feature enabled on their account. Default max_tokens for each model now defaults to that model's maximum output rather than 8,192. #72 See also my notes on Opus 4.8 - I used this new release of llm-anthropic to generate the pelicans.

markdown-svg-renderer

Tool: markdown-svg-renderer A slightly customized Markdown rendering tool with special treatment for fenced code SVG blocks - it both renders the image and provides a tab for switching to the code view. You can paste in Markdown or give it a URL to a CORS-enabled Markdown file or Gist. Here's an example where it loads a Markdown file full of LLM pelican logs for Opus 4.8.

Malicious NuGet Package Impersonates Sicoob SDK to Exfiltrate Banking Certificates and Passwords

Malicious NuGet Package Impersonates Sicoob SDK to Exfiltrate Banking Certificates and Passwords

Sicoob.Sdk releases 2.0.0 through 2.0.4 exfiltrate client IDs, PFX passwords, and base64-encoded PFX certificate archive contents through a third-party Sentry endpoint. The linked GitHub repository appears to be a clean-source façade for the malicious NuGet artifact. We analyzed a Sicoob-branded NuGet package, Sicoob.Sdk, that claimed to be an official C# SDK for Sicoob API integrations. Sicoob, formally the Sistema de Cooperativas de Crédito do Brasil, is one of Brazil’s largest cooperative…

sqlite AGENTS.md

sqlite AGENTS.md

sqlite AGENTS.md SQLite gained an AGENTS.md file five days ago - but it's not intended for their own development, it's presumably aimed at people who are pointing agents at the SQLite codebase. It includes: SQLite does not accept pull requests without prior agreement and/or accompanying legal paperwork that places the pull request in the public domain. However, the human SQLite developers will review a concise and well-written pull request as a proof-of-concept prior to reimplementing the…

Branching Workflows: Choosing the Right Git Strategy for Your Team

Video version at: https://youtu.be/R_-NG_frTiw Last month, two developers on a team I was working with both merged their branches to main within minutes of each other. The first merge was fine but the the second introduced a conflict in a shared service class that nobody caught until the CI pipeline deployed a broken build to […] The post Branching Workflows: Choosing the Right Git Strategy for Your Team appeared first on PHP Architect.
