A Hacker News thread is pushing attention toward Instant 1.0, an open-source backend for AI-coded apps. The interesting part is not only the product pitch, but the architecture: sync-first clients, a Clojure concurrency layer, and a multi-tenant Postgres design built for agent-generated software.
Microsoft described a widespread device code phishing campaign that uses AI-driven automation to compromise organizational accounts at scale. The attack abuses legitimate OAuth device code flows, dynamic code generation, and backend polling infrastructure.

A Hacker News discussion is focusing on a new Linux kernel document that permits AI assistance but keeps DCO, GPL-2.0-only compatibility, and final accountability with human submitters.
Google introduced Veo 3.1 Lite as its most cost-effective video generation model, priced at less than 50% of Veo 3.1 Fast while keeping the same speed. The model is rolling out through the paid tier of the Gemini API and Google AI Studio, broadening access to higher-volume video app use cases.
Anthropic said it has signed a new agreement with Google and Broadcom for multiple gigawatts of next-generation TPU capacity that will begin coming online in 2027. The company framed it as its largest compute commitment so far, tied to surging Claude demand and a rapid jump in large enterprise customers.
Cloudflare said on April 10, 2026 that its global network passed 500 Tbps of external capacity across 330+ cities and now protects more than 20% of the web. The company frames the milestone as both DDoS headroom and a response to the changing traffic mix of AI crawlers and autonomous agents.
A Hacker News thread drew attention to Instant 1.0, an open-source backend for AI-coded apps built around a Postgres multi-tenant database, a Clojure sync engine, and reactive query invalidation.
