Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.

🚨 A MASSIVE internet security emergency is unfolding right now. 🚨
Two CRITICAL vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP, potentially putting millions of websites at risk.
→ NEARLY 70% of websites with a known server-side language run PHP. The potential scale is ENORMOUS.
→ TWO CRITICAL security flaws have been confirmed, each scoring 9.2/10 in severity.
→ Attackers could potentially take control of vulnerable servers remotely, without authentication.
→ Reports suggest PHP versions dating back to 2004 could be affected. The exact scope is still unconfirmed.
→ EMERGENCY PATCHES are scheduled for TOMORROW at 10 AM ET. Website owners are being urged to prepare immediately.
→ Europe's CERT-EU is warning organizations to patch ASAP or consider TAKING EXPOSED APPLICATIONS OFFLINE if they cannot be secured.
→ WordPress, Magento, Laravel and potentially millions of other PHP-powered websites could be at risk.
→ Once patches go public, hackers could reverse-engineer them and race to attack servers that haven't updated.
The vulnerabilities are CONFIRMED. The full technical details remain secret.
Tomorrow, the race between hackers and defenders begins.
This could get ugly. FAST.
Painfully disappointing first experiences of @NousResearch Hermes Desktop on Windows along with the new Bots features. Compared to a seamless setup with @bot and instant usefulness, trying to cajole anything to actually work is like pushing water uphill.

Claude Opus 4.7 just got dethroned by a Chinese AI model.
And nobody's talking about it.
Kimi K2.6:
→ #1 coding model on OpenRouter
→ 7x cheaper than Claude Opus 4.7
→ 100 sub-agents in parallel
→ 1,500 total steps per task
Here's what happens when you build instead of hype

Introducing GPT-5.5
A new class of intelligence for real work and powering agents, built to understand complex goals, use tools, check its work, and carry more tasks through to completion. It marks a new way of getting computer work done.
Now available in ChatGPT and Codex.
Been testing K2.6 - impressive stuff so far!
Meet Kimi K2.6: Advancing Open-Source Coding
🔹Open-source SOTA on HLE w/ tools (54.0), SWE-Bench Pro (58.6), SWE-bench Multilingual (76.7), BrowseComp (83.2), Toolathlon (50.0), Charxiv w/ python(86.7), Math Vision w/ python (93.2)
What's new:
🔹Long-horizon coding - 4,000+ tool calls, over 12 hours of continuous execution, with generalization across languages (Rust, Go, Python) and tasks (frontend, devops, perf optimization).
🔹Motion-rich frontend - Videos in hero sections, WebGL shaders, GSAP + Framer Motion, Three.js 3D.
🔹Agent Swarms, elevated - 300 parallel sub-agents × 4,000 steps per run (up from K2.5's 100 / 1,500). One prompt, 100+ files.
🔹Proactive Agents - K2.6 model powers OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, etc for 24/7 autonomous ops.
🔹Claw Groups (research preview) - bring your own agents, command your friends', bots & humans in the loop.

K2.6 is now live on kimi.com in chat mode and agent mode.

NASA appears to be centralizing a lot of their high-resolution Artemis II media at this link. A good one to keep in your bookmarks.
