OpenAI Releases Dedicated Codex Coding App For Microsoft Windows

OpenAI has launched the OpenAI Codex app for Microsoft Windows, expanding its AI coding tools to users of this operating system. The app features multi-agent capabilities, allowing developers to manage multiple AI coding agents simultaneously on a single project, which enhances workflow efficiency by delegating tasks like debugging and code generation. Additionally, Codex includes automation tools that can perform repetitive tasks such as bug testing and code validation, freeing developers to focus on more complex problem-solving. The app supports seamless cross-platform development by synchronizing session history with a user's ChatGPT account, enabling transitions between macOS and Windows without loss of progress. Furthermore, Codex includes a 'Skills' feature that allows developers to customize AI agents' interactions with specific development tools and workflows, integrating Codex into existing development processes.

Postgres Powers Constructive’s Compile-Time Security For AI Databases – Open Source For You

Constructive has launched a commercial platform that enhances security for AI-generated backends by utilizing its open-source Postgres tooling, which has over 100 million npm downloads and operates in more than 10 million databases. The platform enforces security measures, such as Row-Level Security (RLS) policies, at the time of table creation to prevent misconfigurations. It integrates permissions directly into the database layer and supports deterministic migrations and CI/CD validation. The platform is currently in a commercial private beta phase, with enterprise access available through constructive.io.

Constructive unveils secure-by-default Postgres platform

Constructive has launched a Postgres platform focused on security, implementing Row-Level Security (RLS) policies at table creation to prevent vulnerabilities from application-side configurations. The platform targets back-end development teams, particularly those using AI-assisted tools, and aims to enforce permissions and maintain data integrity directly at the database level. Constructive's open-source developer tools have surpassed 100 million downloads, including SQL parsers and migration systems. The platform allows teams to select access models and generates tables with embedded access rules, reducing the need for manual RLS configurations. It features a migration strategy ensuring reproducible security guarantees and validates RLS within CI/CD pipelines through automated checks. The serverless execution layer supports functions in multiple languages while adhering to the same permission model. Constructive's parsing technology is used in various Postgres-related platforms, and the company has filed provisional patents for its security compiler that transforms schemas into secure configurations. Constructive reports its tools are operational across over 10 million databases and is currently in a commercial private beta for enterprise teams.

Constructive Launches Secure-by-Default Postgres Platform for the Agentic Era

Constructive has launched a secure Postgres platform that incorporates Row-Level Security (RLS) at the time of table creation to enhance backend security. This platform aims to prevent misconfigurations that could lead to vulnerabilities. Constructive has also achieved over 100 million npm downloads for its open-source developer tools. The platform is designed to address the growing prominence of Postgres as a preferred database, especially in applications supporting OpenAI's infrastructure, which serves 800 million users monthly. The launch aligns with trends such as Postgres being the default database, the dual impact of AI-assisted development increasing both speed and risks, and the challenge of human oversight in software development. The platform establishes a trust layer for AI-generated backends, ensuring consistent policy enforcement and verifiable security measures. It operates beneath the application layer, utilizing abstract syntax trees to apply security deterministically. Constructive's tools are currently in use across over 10 million databases at companies like Supabase and Databricks, and the secure Postgres platform is available in commercial private beta.

Microsoft engineer clarifies post on eliminating C, C++ languages: Windows is…

A Microsoft distinguished engineer, Galen Hunt, clarified that a project aimed at rewriting parts of Microsoft's code using AI and Rust is strictly research-focused and not an official plan to phase out C and C++ from Windows by 2030. His team is developing technology for large-scale code migration between programming languages, aiming for "1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code." This project is part of Microsoft's Future of Scalable Software Engineering group and is not a roadmap for Windows 11 or future versions. Microsoft has been integrating Rust into its products, including rewriting segments of the Windows kernel in 2023, as part of its commitment to adopting memory-safe programming languages.
