Read full article about: Anthropic releases open-source tool for AI security checks

Anthropic has released a new open source tool on GitHub that automatically checks code for security vulnerabilities. The GitHub action "Claude Code Security Reviewer" uses the Claude AI model to scan pull requests for potential security issues.

According to the project description, the tool can spot security vulnerabilities across different programming languages by understanding the context of the code. It automatically adds comments directly in code discussions, filters out likely false positives, and focuses only on files that have been modified. The tool is available under the MIT license on GitHub.

Read full article about: Microsoft unveils Project Ire, an AI system that automatically detects malware

Microsoft has unveiled Project Ire, an AI system designed to automatically analyze software files and determine whether they contain malware. The system uses reverse engineering tools to inspect program code, builds a chain of evidence, and then decides if a file is dangerous. Project Ire was developed by teams from Microsoft Research, Defender Research, and Discovery & Quantum. In tests, Ire correctly identified 90 percent of malware in Windows drivers while producing very few false positives. In another trial with files that were especially difficult to classify, the system achieved 89 percent precision. Microsoft plans to integrate Project Ire into Microsoft Defender as a "Binary Analyzer," aiming to help security analysts by automating routine threat detection.

Read full article about: Google now allows utilities to ask for a slowdown of non-essential AI workloads

Google is now letting utilities like Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) request a slowdown of non-essential AI workloads during periods of grid stress.

The company frames this not just as a way to help stabilize the power grid, but also as a strategic advantage: new data centers could be brought online more quickly, since energy providers would have fewer concerns about peak demand. The move represents a shift in thinking, treating AI not only as a potential strain on the grid but also as a possible buffer. It's still unclear which workloads count as non-essential, but Google says that core services like Search, Maps, and cloud operations for key industries, including healthcare, won't be affected. As an example, Google points to YouTube video encoding as a task that could be scaled back during power shortages.
