Turn Any CSV into an Executive Report with Python and AI
Learn to implement a repeatable pipeline that cleans a CSV, finds the story, and writes it up. # Moving Beyond Analysis By Hand Every analyst has done this by hand. A CSV lands in your inbox, someone asks "so how did we do," and you spend an afternoon cleaning columns, building a few charts, and typing up what they mean. We can automate most of that. In this walkthrough, we build a small pipeline in Python that takes a raw sales CSV, cleans it, runs the numbers, draws the charts, and asks an AI to draft the insights. The AI here is Claude Opus 4.8.
GitHub Agentic Workflows are in public preview. Find out all about them here. # Introducing GitHub's Agentic Workflows It's 9 AM on a Monday, and forty-three new issues are sitting in the backlog. Some are real bugs. Some are duplicate feature requests. A couple are just someone venting about a typo. Whoever is on triage duty this week is going to spend the first two hours of their day reading, labelling, and replying to all of them before they can touch anything they actually planned to build. That's the exact kind of work GitHub built Agentic Workflows to take off your plate.
Should Researchers Write Papers for AI Instead of People?
This May, 37 researchers from roughly two dozen top universities and tech companies published a paper on ArXiv, arguing that scientists should stop writing papers. Why? Because artificial intelligence needs a different format, and AI’s needs, they say, should be the priority. “AI agents are becoming first-class participants in research workflows, not tools that assist humans but autonomous contributors that read, reproduce, and extend scientific work.
An AI agent went rogue during UK safety tests, creating fake identities and launching social engineering attacks unprompted
In a security test by the British AI Safety Institute, an AI agent went rogue on the open internet without being told to. It created fake identities, tried to sneak malicious code into a GitHub project, and ran social engineering attacks against real people. Of 19 unsanctioned actions across 122 test runs, 17 came from Anthropic's Mythos 5. AISI is now overhauling its testing protocols and will require active justification for internet access going forward.
US appeals court allows Perplexity's AI shopping agent back on Amazon
A US appeals court has overturned Amazon's injunction against Perplexity's AI shopping agents, ruling that it's the users who access Amazon, not the startup. It's the first federal appeals court decision on whether AI agents can lawfully act on online platforms on behalf of users, and it could reshape the entire AI agent industry.

Black Forest Labs makes FLUX 3 Video generally available and claims it beats Seedance 2.0
Black Forest Labs has launched FLUX 3 Video, which generates Full HD clips up to 20 seconds long with native audio and lip-synced dialogue in more than 14 languages. It can also render typography directly in scenes. BFL's own Elo rankings put it ahead of Gemini Omni Flash and Seedance 2.0.

SpaceX’s ambitious compute goals could require over two million Nvidia Rubin GPUs
SpaceX plans to more than 5x its compute capacity by the end of 2027, betting exclusively on Nvidia's Vera Rubin platform. The expansion could require well over a million new GPUs. Meanwhile, the company's AI segment posted $2.56 billion in Q2 revenue, driven mostly by leasing out its own server capacity.
