Not All AI Tools Will Survive the Shakeout

Not every AI tool has staying power, and the ones that last are the ones that fit your organization’s strategy. AI is following the same arc as the cloud push and the dot-com era: a massive boom, then a contraction. Before you invest, ask what will actually make a difference in your org, and build from there. Watch the full IT Leadership Lab session — linked above.

Elastic Introduces Elastic nightshift AI SRE to Investigate with the Full Context Others Can't Afford to Keep

The AI SRE uses complete context from across the entire stack to continuously detect issues and learn from every incident, delivering evidence-backed answers engineers can trust.

Meet Rosetta

During an incident, the answers an engineer needs are spread across tools. Telemetry sits in one place, configurations in another, and tickets in a third. Building a complete picture means knowing which tool holds which piece and how to query each one, usually under time pressure. Rosetta is the conversational interface for Selector Foundry, the agentic NetOps platform built on Selector’s existing AIOps and Observability solution.

How AI agents help teams deliver better digital experiences

The moment your page slows down, two clocks start. One is yours: time to alert, time to investigate, time to fix. The other belongs to the user staring at the slow page. Yours is measured in minutes. Theirs runs out in seconds. That gap is what AI agents close. Zia Agents in OpManager Nexus detects an issue, works out the cause, and runs the fix on its own, often before your users feel a thing. This blog looks at how that changes the experience you deliver.

AI Finds and Fixes Security Vulnerabilities | Harness Demo

What if AI could find a security vulnerability, determine whether it actually matters, write the fix, validate it, and open a pull request for review? In this demo, see how Harness Security Testing Agents work together to move from vulnerability detection to a verified fix with an audit trail along the way. The system uses three agents: Harness can analyze where vulnerabilities exist in your environment, determine whether they’re actually reachable, prioritize what needs to be fixed, and automatically create remediation pull requests.

We Stuck Minecraft on a Kubernetes Cluster and Observed it with Open Source

Why did we do this? Not important: jump to 1:31 to see the Pis. TL;DR: We stuck Minecraft on kubernetes running on 4 Raspberry Pis in a 3D-Printed case, and monitored it with open source observability. Huge thanks to Percona DBA Ivan Zaitsev for putting the demo together for Percona University, Montevideo. Coroot automatically collects and visualizes all your telemetry data: logs, metrics, traces, profiles, and a complete map of your services. With the complete context of eBPF, it can diagnose the exact cause of an incident in seconds, and show you the exact commands to fix it.

Claude Opus pricing in 2026: every model, every rate, and whether it's worth it

Claude Opus pricing is $4 per million input tokens and $20 per million output tokens on Claude Opus 5.5, the current model, with cache reads at $0.20 and batch jobs at $2/$10. Opus 5 and the legacy 4-series bill at $5/$25. The 1M context window carries no surcharge. Every Opus model Anthropic shipped in 2026 held the same line: $5 in, $25 out, per million tokens. Opus 4.6 in February, 4.7 in April, 4.8 in May, Opus 5 in July. Four releases, one price. On September 22, 2026, the line broke.

Shipped: Project this month's AI cost before the invoice closes

The question comes up on the 10th, the 15th, and again on the 25th. Where is AI spend going to end up this month? The invoice won’t tell you until it’s closes, and by then there’s nothing left to forecast. “If I’m looking at this on the 15th, I want to know where we’re going to land.” That’s how a finance lead put it during a persona session in September, and it’sthe whole job. You have half a month of real usage behind you.

Reducing Android scope-sync overhead in Sentry Flutter

Our SDK adds work to the app that installs it. It records recent app activity as breadcrumbs and keeps user information and other diagnostic data up to date. Changes to that information are called scope updates. On Android, we send those updates to a worker isolate, which passes them to the Sentry Android SDK. We found that the calling isolate and the worker both normalized the same data. The encoding step also created a JSON string and an extra byte buffer that we could avoid.
