If you are worried you might be exposed to the PHP vulnerability
If you are wondering whether your website is affected, we have packaged a Codex skill to help check. Point your Codex at this repo to guide you through it: github.com/openai/php2shell-…

Agreed this is a pain point but I think its actually setting up the environment for the agents -- giving them access and context to all the needed platforms e.g. notion, email, analytics, etc
most time-consuming part of software engineering in 2026 is re-authenticating MCP connections every few days 💀

Not every seed of service you plant will sprout and flourish, but if you keep planting, eventually some of them will. That's just the math of good deeds and good faith.

Come say hi at Booth #734 tomorrow and Friday! Bring your questions about @render and get some awesome Render T-shirts from our amazing design team!
Agent workloads are unpredictable by definition. Is the next request 3 tasks or 400? Provisioning compute assumes you know the answer. Our answer is Application-Defined Compute. Render CEO @anuraggoel explains it tomorrow at @WeAreDevs. 11 AM, Stage 1. Find us at booth #734 after.

My feed is filled with interesting @typesafeai Jev demos 🤯

Jev is WILD for SEO audit 🤯 in 45.1 seconds it read all 586 pages on my site and rebuilt the internal link map. 584 links placed, 139 pages it refused to link because nothing honestly fit. total cost $0.21. Claude Opus 5, same 586 pages, same clock, got through 21 of them and spent $1.43. per page that is ~190x cheaper. the full Opus pass would have run $43. internal linking is the perfect Jev job. it is not writing, it is 8,790 yes/no calls: does this page have a real reason to link to that one, and is there anchor text already sitting in the copy. that is a classification problem, and we have been paying frontier prices to do it one page at a time. what you are watching: left column is Jev, right is Opus, same queue, same rubric. the run stops the moment Jev finishes so Opus stops burning tokens. coming soon to @distribb_io + connector + gpt plugin

We just ran Jev on our WebMCP benchmark. The result: basically broke the benchmark. Jev + Mercury 2.5 (a fast, low-cost LLM) using WebMCP solved 100% of the tasks at roughly 112× lower model cost than GPT-6 Astra using computer use with code execution. Compared to Astra using screenshot-based computer use, the model cost was 245× lower (!). We also compared Jev operating the browser with and without WebMCP. We used Browser Use’s open-source Ultrafast, with some improvements to the harness to make it more reliable across the benchmark. Jev’s browser-control accuracy on its own was not amazing - adding WebMCP nearly doubled the number of solved tasks, from 25/49 to 49/49, while reducing model cost by 18% (more on why below). The benchmark and methodology are fully open and reproducible. Full results: webmcp.com/benchmark A few words on how the Jev + WebMCP harness works and why this is exciting: Jev receives text as input and a set of discrete options it can choose from. With WebMCP, those options are the tools exposed by the website. At each step, Jev sees the task, the available tools and previous results, then picks what to do next. The limitation is that Jev can’t generate arbitrary text, which you need for tool arguments. For example, it can choose the search_products tool, but it can’t generate the search query itself. So we split the work: Jev picks the tool and Mercury 2.5 generates the arguments if needed. This works well because turns out most of the cognitive load in these tasks is around choosing the right action. The argument generation itself is relatively simple, so we can delegate to a small and very fast model. We used Mercury, which outputs 1,000+ tokens/sec and is very cheap. The result is a pretty simple combination: Jev for tool selection + Mercury for arguments + WebMCP for the interface. It ends up being very reliable, very fast, and very cheap. A few words about Ultrafast and why do we think it underperforms: Without WebMCP, Jev chooses from the page’s controls: which button to click, which field to fill, or which option to select. But choosing a valid button is different from choosing the right next step. The agent still has to navigate menus, understand forms, recover from errors and recognize when the task is actually complete. Our hypothesis is that WebMCP makes the decision space much simpler. Instead of figuring out a sequence of clicks through a website, Jev chooses explicit actions that directly advance the task. @typesafeai itself documents weaker accuracy on questions requiring multiple reasoning steps. WebMCP moves much of that complexity into the website’s tools, leaving Jev with clearer decisions and fewer opportunities to go wrong (in a sense WebMCP "compresses" a sequence of clicks into one tool call). Our modified Ultrafast setup solved 25/49 tasks - that is a result for our particular implementation and benchmark, not a universal limit on Jev or Browser Use. We are open to more harness optimization to get this result to perform better, feel free to directly contribute to the benchmark here: github.com/nekuda-ai/WindTun… Browser-use ultrafast: github.com/browser-use/jev-u…

big if true
We benchmarked DeepSeek V4.1 Flash by @deepseek_ai . It reached 98% of GPT-6 Astra’s score at 1.4% of the cost on everyday design tasks based on user requests. Every model except Astra scored lower AND cost more. Are open models overtaking closed ones? Full results below ↘️

OpenAI uses Render to ship apps like gpt-oss playground and ChatKit Studio, supporting hundreds of thousands of concurrent users. Recently, they used Render Workflows + Codex to launch a guide generation agent on the @OpenAIDevs site. Here’s how: render.com/customers/openai
