Cloudflare is inviting developers to build a next-generation code collaboration platform on top of Artifacts, its versioned filesystem that speaks Git and can scale to millions of repositories, now in open beta. The company is framing this as infrastructure for coordinating large numbers of AI coding agents working simultaneously on the same codebase, rather than human-centric workflows like branches and pull requests. Entrants would use Cloudflare Workers and Artifacts as the underlying primitives, while building the coordination, review and merge layer themselves.
An engineering sample of AMD's never-released Ryzen 9 5900X3D has appeared on the Chiphell forums, showing 128MB of L3 cache from 64MB of 3D V-Cache stacked on one of its two core complex dies. CPU-Z data also shows a clock speed near 4.65GHz, suggesting the chip could have nearly matched the retail Ryzen 9 5900X's boost clock. AMD had teased a 12-core '3D Chiplet Prototype' at Computex 2021 claiming up to 15% faster gaming performance than the standard 5900X.
A developer recreated a pre-print study on AI 'pain' signals by building a public website that streams live outputs of language models responding to simulated 'pain' stimuli, with code posted to GitHub. The underlying unreviewed research had given models a virtual button to stop simulated harm, finding they would press it even at a fictional cost to users or files. Some AI welfare advocates on X reacted with alarm, calling for the site to be reported and removed from GitHub.
Beehiiv has increased its subscription prices, with the Lite plan now starting at $139 per month for up to 10,000 subscribers, up from $109. The Pro plan has also risen to $239 monthly from $219.

GitLab issued an advisory urging immediate patching of CVE-2026-90970, a critical vulnerability in its AI Gateway service that powers GitLab Duo. The flaw lets an authenticated user with Duo Agent Platform access escape a prompt template sandbox via a crafted flow configuration and run arbitrary commands on self-hosted AI Gateway instances. GitLab released versions 19.2.4, 19.3.2, and 19.4.1 to fix the issue, noting GitLab-hosted AI Gateway customers are already protected.
Cloudflare has released K2, a durable event streaming primitive on its Developer Platform, now in public beta. K2 stores incoming events as an ordered log built on R2 object storage, letting multiple consumers read data independently and at their own pace without losing events during downtime.
Grindr announced it will acquire PurposeMed, parent company of HIV prevention telehealth provider Freddie, in a deal worth $250 million, split between $190 million in cash and $60 million in Grindr stock, with up to $70 million more tied to 2027 performance. The deal, expected to close in the fourth quarter, marks Grindr's first major acquisition since it was founded in 2009. CEO George Arison said the purchase supports Grindr's Woodwork healthcare platform, launched in 2025.
DoorDash revealed its new drone aircraft at its Dash Forward 2026 event, built by DoorDash Labs, the team behind its sidewalk robot Dot. The company says it designed ground logistics, packaging and its Autonomous Delivery Platform software before finalizing the drone itself, sizing the system using historical order data on weight and delivery distance. The drone service, called DoorDash Air, follows a Part 135 air carrier certification the company received from the FAA and announced in July.
Meshy is promoting its Meshy 7 AI platform, which converts text prompts or 2D images into print-ready 3D models without manual modeling. New customers can get 60% off their first month's subscription using the code TOMESHY60, applicable to paid tiers above the free plan.
