Qwen3.6-27B: Flagship-Level Coding in a 27B Dense Model

Qwen3.6-27B: Flagship-Level Coding in a 27B Dense Model

Qwen3.6-27B: Flagship-Level Coding in a 27B Dense Model Big claims from Qwen about their latest open weight model: Qwen3.6-27B delivers flagship-level agentic coding performance, surpassing the previous-generation open-source flagship Qwen3.5-397B-A17B (397B total / 17B active MoE) across all major coding benchmarks. On Hugging Face Qwen3.5-397B-A17B is 807GB, this new Qwen3.6-27B is 55.6GB. I tried it out with the 16.8GB Unsloth Qwen3.6-27B-GGUF:Q4_K_M quantized version and llama-server using…

Malicious Checkmarx Artifacts Found in Official KICS Docker Repository and Code Extensions

Malicious Checkmarx Artifacts Found in Official KICS Docker Repository and Code Extensions

Docker alerted Socket to malicious images pushed to the official checkmarx/kics Docker Hub repository after internal monitoring flagged suspicious new activity around KICS image tags. Our investigation found that attackers appear to have overwritten existing tags, including v2.1.20 and alpine, while also introducing a new v2.1.21 tag that does not correspond to a legitimate upstream release. Analysis of the poisoned image indicates that the bundled KICS binary was modified to include data…

Introducing Organization Notifications in Socket

Introducing Organization Notifications in Socket

Today, we’re excited to launch Organization Notifications in Socket. This new feature gives teams a direct way to stay on top of organization alert activity without relying on someone to constantly watch the dashboard. With Organization Notifications, you can subscribe to organization-level alert events, filter the kinds of alerts you care about, and send batched updates to a configured destination. We're launching the email channel type first, and Slack and Microsoft Teams support are planned…

Don’t Blame the Model

Don’t Blame the Model

The following article originally appeared on the Asimov’s Addendum Substack and is being republished here with the author’s permission. Are LLMs reliable? LLMs have built up a reputation for being unreliable. Small changes in the input can lead to massive changes in the output. The same prompt run twice can give different or contradictory answers. […]

Quoting Bobby Holley

Quoting Bobby Holley

As part of our continued collaboration with Anthropic, we had the opportunity to apply an early version of Claude Mythos Preview to Firefox. This week’s release of Firefox 150 includes fixes for 271 vulnerabilities identified during this initial evaluation. [...] Our experience is a hopeful one for teams who shake off the vertigo and get to work. You may need to reprioritize everything else to bring relentless and single-minded focus to the task, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. We…

Changes to GitHub Copilot Individual plans

Changes to GitHub Copilot Individual plans

Changes to GitHub Copilot Individual plans On the same day as Claude Code's temporary will-they-won't-they $100/month kerfuffle (for the moment, they won't), here's the latest on GitHub Copilot pricing. Unlike Anthropic, GitHub put up an official announcement about their changes, which include tightening usage limits, pausing signups for individual plans (!), restricting Claude Opus 4.7 to the more expensive $39/month "Pro+" plan, and dropping the previous Opus models entirely. The key…

Is Claude Code going to cost $100/month? Probably not - it's all very confusing

Is Claude Code going to cost $100/month? Probably not - it's all very confusing

Anthropic today quietly (as in silently, no announcement anywhere at all) updated their claude.com/pricing page (but not their Choosing a Claude plan page, which shows up first for me on Google) to add this tiny but significant detail (arrow is mine, and it's already reverted): The Internet Archive copy from yesterday shows a checkbox there. Claude Code used to be a feature of the $20/month Pro plan, but according to the new pricing page it is now exclusive to the $100/month or $200/month Max…

Namastex.ai npm Packages Hit with TeamPCP-Style CanisterWorm Malware

Namastex.ai npm Packages Hit with TeamPCP-Style CanisterWorm Malware

Last month, we responded to CanisterWorm, a worm-enabled npm supply chain campaign that compromised legitimate publisher space, replaced package contents with install-time malware, used stolen publishing access to republish malicious versions, and relied on an Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) canister as a dead-drop command and control (C2) channel. This campaign was attributed to a set of TeamPCP supply chain attacks. In this newly discovered npm incident, the malware uses the same core…

Announcing Plans for a PHP Ecosystem Survey and Report

Announcing Plans for a PHP Ecosystem Survey and Report

This year, The PHP Foundation, in collaboration with PhpStorm, a JetBrains IDE, will release an official ecosystem report with data-driven insights into the current state and the future of PHP development. The report will be based on data collected from a PHP developer survey, where we’ll ask developers about their experience with the language and ecosystem. Our goal is to capture perspectives from across the PHP community – we want as many voices as possible to be included. To make that…
