GitHub Confirms May 1 Billing Transition: What Copilot's Token-Priced Future Actually Costs

Claude Security Launches in Public Beta: Anthropic's New Product Is a Vulnerability Scanner, Not a Firewall

Claude Security Launches in Public Beta: Anthropic's New Product Is a Vulnerability Scanner, Not a Firewall

Which makes the TechBrief the organization released on April 30 worth reading twice
