How AI Models Stress-Test Cloudflare's Firewall to Find Its Weaknesses

Cloudflare placed frontier AI models inside a controlled harness to probe its own Web Application Firewall, using blocked attacks as starting points for the models to generate and refine new variations. It is a clever form of stress-testing that turns AI into an adversary you actually want. The approach feels honest about where security is headed. For more on Cloudflare's AI-forward strategy, see our coverage of its new agent-focused CLI.

Starcloud turns its focus from orbit to the stars with Alpha Centauri probe

Starcloud's orbital data centers already stretch the limits of ambition, but this new project aims far beyond Earth's orbit. The team is now setting its sights on Alpha Centauri, dispatching a probe on a high-risk mission that feels pulled from science fiction. It's audacious, yes, and the challenges are immense. Yet that willingness to push boundaries is exactly what defines this moment in space exploration. For more on their trajectory, our coverage of Starcloud's recent funding round offers useful context.

Waymo's collision probe documents remain hidden behind confidentiality claims.

Waymo's collision probe documents remain hidden behind confidentiality claims.

Waymo has handed over documents in NHTSA's child collision probe, but the responses so far arrive heavily redacted, with the company citing "confidential business information." That is a curious stance for a firm asking the public to trust its judgment on the road. Transparency matters most when scrutiny intensifies, and blacking out entire answers invites more questions than it settles. For deeper context on how data exposure and trust intersect, our piece "Protecting Data in the Age of AI-Powered Apps" offers a useful lens.
