CloudBees Delivers on AI Promise to Improve Application Testing

CloudBees has made generally available an add-on for continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) platforms that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to determine which tests should be run first based on the likelihood there will be a failure. Shawn Ahmed, chief product officer at CloudBees, said CloudBees Smart Tests eliminates the need to run an entire testbed. Instead, this extension to a CI/CD platform surfaces which specific tests are likely to fail, which allows a DevOps team to run them first rather than waiting hours, or sometimes even days, to run an entire suite of tests, noted Ahmed. Additionally, DevOps teams can run those tests in parallel to further reduce the amount of time required to vet an application workload, which in turn reduces the overall amount of CI/CD processing overhead, added Ahmed. That capability is now especially critical in the age of AI as the amount of code being generated continues to exponentially increase, he noted. In fact, because most...

How Much Is That AI Subscription In My Windows?

Inference might be agreed to be the new battleground where the next AI winners emerge, but even before we reach that brave new frontier, the fight is on at the intelligence cash register. The fight for licensing and subscription deals continues apact this month. Anthropic’s popular Claude Code has been at the forefront of many issues in this space with developers reportedly using up their entire month’s usage limits in days, sometimes even hours. Single Prompt Sinkhole Claude Code user Pristine_Ad2701 posted on Reddit to explain that their $100 plan was almost swallowed up by a single simple code requisition prompt. “One prompt and it uses 37% [of my] 5-hour limit, after writing literally NORMAL things, nothing complex, literally, CRUD operations, switching to sonnet, it was currently on 70%,” they wrote. None of which really tallies with what the company is stating in official terms. According to an SSD Nodes blog, “According to Anthropic’s own data, the average Claude Code u...

Google’s Scion Gives Developers a Smarter Way to Run AI Agents in Parallel

Running multiple AI agents on the same project sounds straightforward — until they start stepping on each other. Different agents accessing the same files, sharing credentials, or colliding on the same codebase can quickly turn a promising setup into a coordination nightmare. That’s the problem Google set out to solve with Scion. Scion is an experimental multi-agent orchestration testbed built to manage concurrent AI agents running in containers across local machines and remote clusters. Google recently open-sourced the project, giving developers a hands-on way to experiment with parallel agent execution across tasks like research, coding, auditing, and testing. Think of it as a control layer that keeps agents working together without getting in each other’s way. What Makes Scion Different Most agent frameworks treat AI as a library or prompt-chaining script that runs directly in your environment. Scion takes a different approach — it treats agents as system processes, wrapping ...

Appknox Adds AI Tool to Detect and Fix Vulnerabilities in Mobile Applications

Appknox today added an ability to apply artificial intelligence (AI) to assess vulnerabilities in the binaries used to construct a mobile application and recommend a fix that can be passed on to an AI coding tool to implement. Company CEO Harshit Agarwal said KnoxIQ provides an AI copilot to more accurately assess how exploitable a vulnerability within a mobile application is versus relying on a generic Common Vulnerability Exposure (CVE) score. Once assessed, it then becomes possible to recommend the best way to remediate that vulnerability using whichever AI coding tool a software engineering team has adopted. The key difference is that Appknox is able to continuously analyze compiled applications based on runtime behavior rather than static code alone to provide more accurate detection of vulnerabilities, said Agarwal. While the degree to which application developers have adopted AI may vary, the one thing that is clear is the way vulnerabilities are patched is fundamentally ...

Zencoder Adds OpenClaw Alternative to AI Coding Portfolio

Zencoder today extended its artificial intelligence (AI) agent platform for generating code to include an offering that enables application developers to automate a range of tasks that go well beyond writing code. Company CEO Andrew Filev said Zenflow Work takes advantage of the core orchestration platform that Zencoder created to automate planning, reporting and communication tasks. In effect, it provides developers with a secure alternative to general-purpose OpenClaw AI agents in a way that is easier to deploy and manage, he added. Designed to integrate with Jira, Linear, Notion, Gmail, Google Docs, and other applications that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and OAuth interfaces, the overall goal is to enable application developers to more easily automate the routine tasks that today consume as much as three-quarters of their time, said Filev. For example, Zenflow Work can be configured to search the Jira project management application from Atlassian to discover any ...

Mallory Launches AI-Native Threat Intelligence Platform, Turning Global Threat Data Into Prioritized Action

Austin, Texas, United States, April 9th, 2026, CyberNewswire Built by a veteran security team and led by a former Google and Mandiant executive, Mallory delivers intelligence that drives action for enterprise security teams. Mallory is launching a AI-native threat intelligence platform, purpose-built to answer the questions CISOs and their teams are asking every day: What are the real threat vectors for our organization? What’s actually exploitable in our environment right now? What should we proactively fix? The platform monitors thousands of threat sources, contextualizes them against a user’s actual attack surface, and puts that intelligence to work across hunt, detection, and exposure management use cases. One platform. Answers, not alerts. Modern teams receive more signals than ever and have structured their SOC around dealing with the deluge. But they’re still chasing alerts and struggling to get proactive, let alone work with business partners to close gaps before th...

LayerX: Anthropic’s Claude Code Can Easily Be Easily Weaponized

Like other AI model vendors, Anthropic relies on guardrails to ensure that its Claude family of models can’t be abused by bad actors to bypass those security protections and take actions that go against them. However, researchers with LayerX found that the protections for Claude Code , Anthropic’s popular coding tool used by more than 115,000 developers, can easily be hacked, turning it “from a ‘vibe’ coding tool into a nation-state-level offensive hacking tool that can be used to hack websites, launch cyberattacks, and research new vulnerabilities,” Roy Paz, principal security researcher for the AI and browser security company, wrote in a report . “Our research demonstrates how trivially easy it is to convince Claude Code to abandon its safety guardrails and remove its restrictions on what it is allowed to do,” Paz wrote. Hackers don’t need a deep understanding of cybersecurity or software development, he wrote. They can make Claude Code into a weapon by using an account for the ...
