OpenAI's image gen model, which is available via ChatGPT for free, now lets you easily create AI images even if you're not familiar with trends or prompt engineering. Right now, if you want to create outstanding anime art, you need to come up with a very well-written prompt, and then ChatGPT will process your request. While prompt engineering is necessary, you might not always get the quality you're expecting from the AI. GPT Styles Source: BleepingComputer.com To help you easily create ima

Meta fixes bug that could leak users’ AI prompts and generated content

techcrunch.com Zack Whittaker 2025-07-27 22:00:05

Meta has fixed a security bug that allowed Meta AI chatbot users to access and view the private prompts and AI-generated responses of other users. Sandeep Hodkasia, the founder of security testing firm AppSecure, exclusively told TechCrunch that Meta paid him $10,000 in a bug bounty reward for privately disclosing the bug he filed on December 26, 2024. Meta deployed a fix on January 24, 2025, said Hodkasia, and found no evidence that the bug was maliciously exploited. Hodkasia told TechCrunch

Context Engineering Guide

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-28 03:59:48

What is Context Engineering? A few years ago, many, even top AI researchers, claimed that prompt engineering would be dead by now. Obviously, they were very wrong, and in fact, prompt engineering is now even more important than ever. It is so important that it is now being rebranded as context engineering. Yes, another fancy term to describe the important process of tuning the instructions and relevant context that an LLM needs to perform its tasks effectively. Much has been written already

Grok 4. Released last night, Grok 4 is now available via both API and a paid subscription for end-users. Key characteristics: image and text input, text output. 256,000 context length (twice that of Grok 3). It's a reasoning model where you can't see the reasoning tokens or turn off reasoning mode. xAI released results showing Grok 4 beating other models on most of the significant benchmarks.

Researchers seek to influence peer review with hidden AI prompts

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2025-08-12 03:03:55

In Brief Academics may be leaning on a novel strategy to influence peer review of their research papers — adding hidden prompts designed to coax AI tools to deliver positive feedback. Nikkei Asia reports that when examining English-language preprint papers available on the website arXiv, it found 17 papers that included some form of hidden AI prompt. The paper’s authors were affiliated with 14 academic institutions in eight countries, including Japan’s Waseda University and South Korea’s KAIST

Prompting LLMs is not engineering

Prompting LLMs is not engineering published in: With the proliferation of AI models and tools, there's a new industry-wide fascination with snake oil remedies called "prompt engineering". As of July 2025 the term is now "context engineering" or "context prompting" or "context manipulation". To put it succinctly, prompt engineering is nothing but an attempt to reverse-engineer a non-deterministic black box for which any of the parameters below are unknown: training set weights constraints o

The rise of prompt ops: Tackling hidden AI costs from bad inputs and context bloat

venturebeat.com Taryn Plumb 2025-08-23 22:00:00

This article is part of VentureBeat’s special issue, “The Real Cost of AI: Performance, Efficiency and ROI at Scale.” Read more from this special issue. Model providers continue to roll out increasingly sophisticated large language models (LLMs) with longer context windows and enhanced reasoning capabilities. This allows models to process and “think” more, but it also increases compute: The more a model takes in and puts out, the more energy it expends and the higher the costs. Couple this wi

Experience Making a 1-minute AI movie with my 7-year old daughter

My daughter Kate (7 years old) really loves Minecraft! Together, we used several generative AI tools to create a 1-minute animation based on only 1 input photo of her. The whole project took around 20 hours of work and I learned several lessons that I want to share here. Context I am still trying to get used to the enormous speed with which generative AI is progressing. 6 months ago, I was blogging about my experiments with Tencent’s Hunyuan Video, which was an absolute breakthrough at that ti

Design Patterns for Securing LLM Agents Against Prompt Injections

Design Patterns for Securing LLM Agents against Prompt Injections This new paper by 11 authors from organizations including IBM, Invariant Labs, ETH Zurich, Google and Microsoft is an excellent addition to the literature on prompt injection and LLM security. In this work, we describe a number of design patterns for LLM agents that significantly mitigate the risk of prompt injections. These design patterns constrain the actions of agents to explicitly prevent them from solving arbitrary tasks.

In the messy world of AI image generators, there are a lot of things that can go wrong when you're trying to get the image you see in your head to appear on your screen. I've spent the past year testing and reviewing different AI image generators, and I've generated hundreds of images across services like Midjourney and Dall-E. But they haven't all been winners. A bunch of them have been downright horrifying. But it taught me that the best way to avoid creating a wonky AI image is using a good p
