The iceberg beneath your code

Every software team, no matter how skilled or disciplined, accumulates technical debt. In mature enterprise codebases, this debt is less like a pile of overdue tasks and more like an iceberg — a small portion is visible above the waterline, but the bulk lurks beneath the surface, hidden from day-to-day view.

With the rise of generative AI, code volume can double overnight — yet the risk is that technical debt grows even faster, especially when new code is generated without the institutional context that experienced engineers bring to traditional code reviews.

Getting started with the Mantis harness to find and fix bugs

AI models have clearly proven their ability to discover and exploit vulnerabilities without much, if any, human assistance. To help defenders gain the advantage with AI, we built the Mantis harness to automate the discovery, triage, reproduction, and patching of software vulnerabilities. Available to all as an open-source framework, Mantis

Miele Put a Camera in Its New Dishwasher. Here’s Why

AI-powered cameras have made their way into most major kitchen appliances. Ovens now watch food as it cooks and tell you when it’s done. Smart refrigerators will ping you when you’re running low on milk or suggest recipes based on what they see lingering in the crisper drawer.
