AnalogJS 2.0 - Angular's answer to Next.js

AnalogJS is a Angular meta-framework adding Next.js-style features (file-based routing, SSR/SSG, API routes) with 100KB+ smaller bundles and zero Webpack. Beats Angular's official Vitest implementation with full CLI access and IDE extensions.

Why it matters: For Angular devs it signals a shift toward more modern build tools; for everyone it shows how frameworks are embracing Vite-native and content-first workflows.

OpenAI launches Aardvark- GPT-5-powered security agent

OpenAI’s new agent Aardvark uses GPT-5 to continuously scan code repositories for vulnerabilities, assess exploitability, and generate patches. automating what a human security researcher might do.

Why it matters: With 92% detection accuracy in internal benchmarks, this moves security tooling closer to “autonomous dev assistant” territory — expect the bar to rise for how we build, review and secure code.

Google's Project Suncatcher — training AI models in space?

Google is putting TPUs (their AI chips) on satellites that talk to each other using lasers, flying close together in an orbit with constant sunlight. Early tests show the chips survive space radiation, and they've already hit 1.6 Tbps data speeds between satellites in the lab. Google plans to launch 2 prototype satellites in 2027 with the help of planet.

Why it matters: If rocket launch prices keep dropping, running AI in space could cost about the same as running it on Earth, but without using up land, water, or power grids down here.
