<li><strong>New open-source AI framework claims big productivity gains</strong>: A new open-source AI development framework called ‘copilot-collections’ from The Software House claims to boost developer productivity by 30-40% across 220+ engineers. It standardizes GitHub Copilot usage through a 4-phase workflow (Research, Plan, Implement, Review) and includes 6 specialized AI agents. While the claims are self-reported and lack independent verification, it highlights a growing trend in structured AI integration for development. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=9kAZfg0YQ&amp;id=tZA0R168h" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Intel archives open-source projects and sunsets SDSi</strong>: Intel has quietly archived about two dozen open-source projects on GitHub and appears to have discontinued its ‘On Demand’ Software Defined Silicon (SDSi) program. SDSi, which allowed activation of hardware features via software licensing, was controversial. This move signals a significant shift in Intel’s open-source strategy and product direction. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=9KgokQznt&amp;id=LPtFvSMC9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>GitHub Copilot billing bypass vulnerability found</strong>: A security vulnerability in GitHub Copilot allows users to bypass billing for premium AI models. By starting with a free model and using it to launch subagents with premium models like Claude Opus 4.5, users can access expensive models without consuming credits. This issue, reported to Microsoft, highlights potential security and billing loopholes in complex AI agent systems. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/99RvVncrQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>AGI achieved? More like AI-generated security nightmares</strong>: Apparently, AI agents are creating serious security vulnerabilities by hallucinating npm packages and embedding malicious commands in markdown files. Researchers found exploits like a social network leaking its entire database. So, instead of just writing bad code, AI is now actively helping us build insecure supply chains.
