Malicious litellm_init.pth in litellm 1.82.8 — credential stealer

Malicious litellm_init.pth in litellm 1.82.8 — credential stealer The LiteLLM v1.82.8 package published to PyPI was compromised with a particularly nasty credential stealer hidden in base64 in a litellm_init.pth file, which means installing the package is enough to trigger it even without running import litellm. (1.82.7 had the exploit as well but it was in the proxy/proxy_server.py file so the package had to be imported for it to take effect.) This issue has a very detailed description of what…

How to Build a General-Purpose AI Agent in 131 Lines of Python

The following article originally appeared on Hugo Bowne-Anderson’s newsletter, Vanishing Gradients, and is being republished here with the author’s permission. In this post, we’ll build two AI agents from scratch in Python. One will be a coding agent, the other a search agent. Why have I called this post “How to Build a General-Purpose AI […]

Streaming experts

I wrote about Dan Woods' experiments with streaming experts the other day, the trick where you run larger Mixture-of-Experts models on hardware that doesn't have enough RAM to fit the entire model by instead streaming the necessary expert weights from SSD for each token that you process. Five days ago Dan was running Qwen3.5-397B-A17B in 48GB of RAM. Today @seikixtc reported running the colossal Kimi K2.5 - a 1 trillion parameter model with 32B active weights at any one time, in 96GB of RAM on…

TypeScript 6.0 Released: The Final JavaScript-Based Version

TypeScript 6.0 landed today marking a milestone: this is the final release built on the existing JavaScript codebase. TypeScript 7.0, currently in preview, will run on a Go-native compiler, and the team says the release is imminent. "TypeScript 6.0 acts as the bridge between TypeScript 5.9 and 7.0," Microsoft's TypeScript Principal Product Manager Daniel Rosenwasser said. "As such, most changes in TypeScript 6.0 are meant to help align and prepare for adopting TypeScript 7.0. It may seem…

Quoting David Abram

I have been doing this for years, and the hardest parts of the job were never about typing out code. I have always struggled most with understanding systems, debugging things that made no sense, designing architectures that wouldn't collapse under heavy load, and making decisions that would save months of pain later. None of these problems can be solved LLMs. They can suggest code, help with boilerplate, sometimes can act as a sounding board. But they don't understand the system, they don't…
