Stanford researchers published a study showing their AI agent ARTEMIS crawled the university's roughly 8,000-device computer science network for 16 hours and, in a 10-hour comparison, found nine valid vulnerabilities with an 82% validity rate, placing second among 10 professional testers. ARTEMIS runs at about $18 an hour (advanced $59), spawns sub-agents to investigate targets concurrently, and could lower penetration-testing costs while amplifying automated hacking risks.

Matt Godbolt demonstrates on Compiler Explorer how compilers perform loop unswitching when compiling a sum-of-squares example, posted December 12, 2025. He shows that at -O2 the compiler uses a conditional multiply inside the loop, while at higher optimisation it duplicates the loop (unswitching) to hoist a constant boolean check, trading code size for fewer per-iteration multiplies. Practitioners should verify compiler choices and weigh performance versus code-size trade-offs.
