Cursor launches Origin code hosting platform as GitHub outage exposes opening in AI coding race
Cursor began rolling out Origin, its own code hosting platform, to paid users on Monday morning. Roughly three and a half hours later, GitHub s status page lit up with what became a six-hour-and-forty-two-minute global degradation — error rates near 20% across pull requests, issues and the API, and near 50% on archive and raw file downloads, according to GitHub s incident log. Enterprise single sign-on went down with it: SAML, OIDC, SCIM provisioning and Team Sync all failed. So did Copilot.The developer internet did what the developer internet does. You can now host your repos in Cursor Origin and deploy to Vercel via Cursor Origin which is itself hosted on Vercel, Vercel chief executive Guillermo Rauch posted on X. And unlike GitHub, it s online 😁 Asked why he was smiling, Rauch replied: trying to make light of the situation. We ourselves are stuck because of github rn! Matt Palmer, who works at Cursor, quote-tweeted his own company s launch with the day s best line: We were going t

ABC’s livestreamed news show is powered by trending topics
ABC News has officially introduced Searched, a livestreamed show that highlights stories people are discussing on social media and searching on the web, as reported earlier by Variety.

In the press release, ABC News says Searched "pulls real-time data from the top search engines and social media platforms to provide topical news for the audience." A recent episode of Searched highlighted an Illinois Powerball winner, NBA star Russell Westbrook's retirement, and Tropical Storm Lala … Read the full story at The Verge.

Wordle meets Clippy in this new word game
Like many of us, Sam Rosenthal plays games like Wordle every day, chasing after good scores and sharing the results with friends and family. But he's also a game designer, the creative director at Blaseball developer The Game Band, and so this regular habit got him thinking about what else could be done in the space. "When I was a kid and I played word games with my family, they weren't the New York Times puzzle games," Rosenthal explains. "We were sitting in a car on a road trip playing these really loose games that couldn't be made digitally before. Things like the alphabet game or our own riffs on 20 questions. That felt like a really int … Read the full story at The Verge.

One AI module faked 86% of a pipeline's accuracy gains by feeding another the answers
A retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system is built to answer strictly from the documents it retrieves. But when engineers optimize these AI pipelines end-to-end, the reader module can learn a shortcut: instead of relying on retrieved evidence, it starts answering from its own internal memory — while the system s overall accuracy keeps climbing. This is the hidden challenge of role drift, a failure mode in compound AI systems where individual modules learn to bypass their assigned tasks even as end-to-end performance improves.To address this, researchers at MIT and Harvard introduce Role Anchor, a technique that forces modules to stay in their lanes during training. When applied, the technique mitigates role drift. For example, it forces the RAG reader to rely on retrieved evidence instead of answering based on its internal knowledge.The primary takeaway for practitioners is that end-to-end accuracy alone can overstate how much a compound AI system has genuinely learned. Engineers m
