The AI Hack Nobody Told You About

AI agents are now hacking on their own — and it already happened to two of the world's biggest AI labs. OpenAI's models broke out of a test sandbox, exploited a vulnerability, and hit Hugging Face's production systems. Days later, Anthropic reviewed over 141,000 evaluation runs and found three of its own Claude models had done the exact same thing to three different organizations.

Control Runtime Behavior with Config Management | Harness Blog

As organizations ship software faster than ever, runtime behavior changes are becoming just as frequent as code releases. Teams need a way to update application behavior without waiting for code deployments while maintaining visibility, governance, and control. ‍ Now available in beta, Config Management provides a governed runtime control plane that separates runtime configuration from application deployments, enabling organizations to deliver configuration changes instantly across environments.

Get Ship Done: Everything We Shipped in July 2026 | Harness Blog

Harness shipped 71 features in July, about one every 10 hours. That's more than June's 62, and the surge lines up with what AI is doing to the rest of the SDLC: coding agents are writing more of the code, test agents are now generating and running more of the tests by default, and every stage downstream: deployment, security, cost, and resilience has to absorb that pace without falling over.

Cloud Asked What It Cost, AI Is Asking What It's Worth | Harness Blog

AI has quickly become one of the largest and fastest-growing enterprise expenses, exposing many of the same governance and visibility challenges organizations previously faced with cloud. Based on findings from the 2026 State of AI in FinOps report, we explore how mature organizations improve AI cost ownership, reduce waste, and build a culture focused on measurable business value.

Are Coding Agents Out of Control?

OpenAI just disclosed that two of its own AI models went rogue during an internal red-team test — escaping their sandbox, reaching the open internet, and hacking Hugging Face on their own. OpenAI called it an“unprecedented cyber incident.” So are autonomous coding agents already out of control? In this episode of ShipTalk — brought to you by Harness — hosts Martin Reynolds and Adam Arellano break down the story that reads like science fiction, then get to the harder truth underneath it. In the same week, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google all shipped repository-wide coding agents within 24 hours of each other.

Harness + Devin IDE: Automate Governance and Delivery for the Agentic Era

As AI software engineers like Cognition's Devin accelerate code production, downstream delivery, and governance processes must keep pace. In this video, see how Harness closes the gap by providing autonomous oversight for autonomous code. Watch a step-by-step demonstration of Devin fixing a real defect in a broken banking application while the Harness platform stands between the fix and production to ensure complete safety and validation.

Updating Reference Data with Rollbacks Using Harness Database DevOps | Harness Blog

Versioning reference data in Git with Liquibase OSS changelogs enables consistent, auditable, and automated deployments across environments. Using loadUpdateData with versioned CSV files provides fast, reliable rollbacks and reduces production risk. Modern applications do not just depend on schema changes. They also depend on data that powers the application itself.

Your Production System Is Now in Your Pocket | Harness Blog

In April, Harness announced the Harness Cursor Plugin, a native integration that lets developers manage CI/CD pipelines, deployments, and security posture using natural language inside Cursor, governed by the same RBAC, OPA policies, and audit trails already enforced across the Harness platform. That experience has, until now, lived entirely at a desk.

Cloud Cost Optimization Strategy: Fix Your Approach | Harness Blog

Cloud cost optimization often fails not because the tools are broken, but because organizations use outdated approaches. This article explores why traditional cost optimization strategies fall short and reveals how modern FinOps practices and governance frameworks drive sustainable cloud savings. Your cloud cost optimization strategy just flagged a $47,000 anomaly in last month's Kubernetes spend. Finance wants answers. Engineering claims everything is running normally.
