Miles v0.1: Production-Level Post-Training
Radix Ark open-sources Miles v0.1, a full-stack RL post-training framework demonstrated with asynchronous agentic RL on GLM-5.2 744B-A40B across 64 GB300 GPUs.
Miles v0.1 is a full-stack, open-source system for frontier-scale reinforcement-learning post-training, built on slime with rollout engines on SGLang and trainers supporting NVIDIA Megatron-LM and PyTorch FSDP backends plus three weight-synchronization transports. It supports full-parameter RL, LoRA RL, on-policy distillation, supervised fine-tuning, true-on-policy rollout-training alignment, and extends to diffusion models. The end-to-end case study ran fully asynchronous agentic RL on GLM-5.2 744B-A40B for terminal-use coding tasks on 64 NVIDIA GB300 GPUs with a median step time of 263 seconds over the first 30 measured steps. The code is open-sourced on GitHub.
MILE TEA: Cyber Espionage Campaign Targets Asia Pacific Businesses and Government Agencies
Unit 42 names MILE TEA, a cyber-espionage campaign since 2011 targeting Japanese and Taiwanese businesses and government agencies with e-ticket phishing lures and Elirks-family malware.
Unit 42 tracks the MILE TEA espionage campaign, observed as early as 2011, targeting Japanese trading, petroleum, and mobile companies, a Beijing office of a Japanese public organization, and a Taiwanese government agency. The primary infection vector is spear-phishing emails with attachments, mostly custom executable installers posing as flight e-tickets, dropping Elirks, Micrass, or Logedrut as initial bridgehead malware. Elirks and Logedrut retrieve encrypted C2 addresses from attacker-posted blog articles, decoded with Base64 and TEA or DES ciphers. The campaign's focus shifted from Taiwan to Japan around 2013.
Top 10 Best Enterprise Browsers in 2026
2026 enterprise browser guide ranks Island first and notes Mammoth Cyber's wind-down plus corrections to standard vendor shortlists.
An editorial guide assesses ten enterprise browser options, ranking category creator Island first for last-mile DLP and BYOD controls, followed by Palo Alto's Talon browser as a Prisma Access/SASE surface and Google Chrome Enterprise Premium for DLP on already-deployed browsers. It corrects common lists, noting SlashNext is browser-adjacent phishing and BEC defense rather than a managed browser, and that Mammoth Cyber has wound down independent operations. Microsoft Edge for Business is positioned as effectively free policy depth for Microsoft 365 estates, with Menlo Security offering an isolation-plus-browser blend.
12 Best Enterprise Browsers Compared (2026): Features & Pricing
2026 comparison of twelve enterprise browsers ranks Island and Palo Alto Talon as purpose-built leaders, with Chrome Enterprise and Edge free or bundled.
Guide compares twelve enterprise browser options across three models: purpose-built secure browsers (Island, Talon, Surf), layered controls on existing browsers (Chrome Enterprise, Edge for Business, LayerX, Seraphic), and streamed/isolated browsers (Kasm). Island and Palo Alto's Prisma Access Browser lead the purpose-built category for BYOD and contractor DLP. It also notes Mammoth Cyber has ceased operations.
The Rise of the Forward Deployed Engineer — and How To Do the Job Right
Palantir veteran Vinoo Ganesh traces the forward deployed engineer role and shares practices for building effective FDE teams.
Kepler CEO and former Palantir forward deployed engineer Vinoo Ganesh argues that labs, startups, and PE firms hire FDEs without a shared definition of the role. He recounts Palantir's Project Frontline rotation, which trained about 250 software engineers as FDEs, many now leading forward deployed teams at OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, and Anduril. A 2013 failure of the Phoenix transaction store at a bank, where real-world data gaps caused roughly 2.3 million keyspaces and an out-of-memory crash, illustrates why FDEs must own the gap between design and production reality. At Kepler he places the FDE function inside product rather than sales.
3 new ways to plan and book travel in Search
Google Search's AI Mode adds travel features: hotel booking, airfare tracking, and airline miles and rewards visibility.
Google introduced three new travel capabilities in Search's AI Mode, including hotel booking, airfare tracking, and viewing airline miles and rewards. The features extend AI Mode from informational queries into transactional travel planning. The announcement positions Google Search to compete more directly with travel-focused booking services.
