Open weight takes 71.5% of tokens and 23% of spend (opens on the source site)
Vercel ·
AI Gateway Production Index — October 2026 Every month, AI Gateway routes tens of trillions of tokens between production applications and AI labs. That traffic gives us a view of what AI usage actually looks like in today's enterprise, and we publish it here monthly. See the Production Index reports from July, August, and September. October 2026 summary Open-weight models now process more than seven in ten gateway tokens and account for nearly one in four dollars. Their share of spend has more than quadrupled since June. September’s gateway spend was about 13 times December’s, while the…
Pulumi ESC now issues OIDC tokens for any service (opens on the source site)
Pulumi ·
A Pulumi ESC environment can now mint a short-lived OpenID Connect (OIDC) token for any service that accepts one. Every pipeline and agent that touches your infrastructure eventually needs credentials for services beyond your cloud: a package registry such as Cloudsmith or JFrog Artifactory, or a workload access platform such as Aembit. The default historically has been to store a long-lived API key that sits in an environment, which presents a much higher risk of exposure than short-lived credentials. With the new fn::open::oidc provider, ESC signs a short-lived token for the audience you…
Docker Hub security advisory: personal access tokens transferred during account-to-organization conversions (opens on the source site)

CodeSOD: Very Valid Tokens (opens on the source site)
Today's anonymous submitter shares with us the function their company uses to validate authentication tokens. public bool IsTokenValid(string token) { //TODO return true; } This is running in production. So that's fun. The user they've authenticated as is tracked separately at the start of their session, which makes it at least marginally harder to pretend to be someone you aren't, but for authentication, any token will do.

From Megawatts to Tokens: How NVIDIA Maximizes AI Factory Production (opens on the source site)
Nvidia ·
On a sweltering August evening in Silicon Valley, as the sun dropped and air conditioning loads spiked, Silicon Valley Power sent a signal to an AI factory to adjust its power consumption. Varun Sivaram was watching on Zoom with about forty others — his team at Emerald AI in their San Francisco conference room, engineers […]

Nvidia ·
Ian Buck, vice president of hyperscale and high-performance computing at NVIDIA, Tuesday spoke on AI factory efficiency at the AI Infra Summit, the Santa Clara Convention Center event that has morphed into a Coachella of infrastructure tech. Before a packed audience — with more than 8,000 attendees this year, up from 3,500 last year — […]

Power Up Your AI Agent With Live Web Search, for Fewer Tokens (opens on the source site)
Give your AI agent live web search with a tool-calling loop, then cut your token cost by feeding it Markdown instead of raw JSON search results. Continue reading Power Up Your AI Agent With Live Web Search, for Fewer Tokens on SitePoint.
The economics of agent scale: tokens, ROI, and building platforms for AI-first teams (Part 2) (opens on the source site)
Andi Gutmans, head of Agentic Data Cloud at Google, returns for the second half of his Leaders of Code conversation to talk through the cost and infrastructure side of agentic development. ICYMI, part one covered judgment, code review, and data activation.
Your coding agent spends 26,000 tokens before it reads your prompt: Comparing MCP and CLI (opens on the source site)
PubNub: ·
AI adoption for coding has reached an all-time high, but there's a bottleneck nobody budgeted for. Explore what MCP servers, CLIs, and skill files actually cost you before an agent does any work, and a benchmarking measure using tooling from Blocks.ai (powered by PubNub).
Stop burning tokens on code review (opens on the source site)
I've been experimenting with different approaches to build a system where humans and agents can ship fast safely. Think I've found something that works – custom linters.
Tokensparsamkeit for coding assistants (opens on the source site)
Good engineers make decisions based on data. Most businesses assumed that the more data, the better the decision. Then, several factors put a halt to the hoarding of ever more data. GDPR and its localized counterparts, and the cost of storage. However, before the GDPR came into effect, the Datensparsamkeit approach already existed. Datensparsamkeit is a German word that’s difficult to translate properly into English.
Secure more apps with External Access Tokens and Private Publishing (opens on the source site)
Replit ·
At Replit, we want all users to be able to build secure applications. In addition to features like Security Agent and Auto Protect, you can restrict access to your apps with Private Publishing. Private Publishing is ideal for apps that should only be accessible to a specific set of users — whether that’s a personal tool, an internal app for teammates, or an early prototype shared with close collaborators. Today, we’re introducing two updates that expand secure access for Replit builders: Private Publishing is now available to Core and Starter plan users. Previously, private deployments were…

Automatic npm publishing, with GitHub Actions & npm granular tokens (opens on the source site)
This week, at long last, GitHub announced granular access tokens for npm. This is a big deal! It's great for security generally, but also particularly useful if you maintain any npm packages, as it removes the main downside of automating npm publishing, by allowing you to give CI jobs only a very limited token instead of full 2FA-free access to your account. In the past, I've wished for this, because I maintain a fair few npm packages including some very widely used ones. The previous solution of "just disable 2FA on your account, create an all-powerful access token with global access to…
