Codex, Behind the Harness — Dominik Kundel, OpenAI

Once GPT 5.3 Codex Spark achieved 1000 tokens/sec on Cerebras, network latency superseded inference as the bottleneck for agents. This talk details how the Codex harness addresses this and other agentic challenges through innovations like WebSocket mode for stateful context, deferred tools for efficient context construction, robust sandboxing (Seatbelt, Bubblewrap, custom Windows solution), and an auto-review subagent to mitigate approval fatigue while ensuring security. It also covers structured actions via 'apply patch' for file edits, shell tools for system interaction, and sophisticated long-horizon goal management, with most distinct features exposed through the open Responses API.

Boris Cherny: Building Claude Code

Boris Cherny, creator of Claude Code, discusses the transformative capabilities of Opus 5, highlighting its prompt injection resistance and long-task execution. He delves into Claude Code's empirical development philosophy of "unhobbling" AI by constantly adapting to new model generations, and shares insights on how to build advanced AI products using higher-level tasks, self-verification, and dynamic workflows to orchestrate thousands of agents.

WebAssembly on Kubernetes • Nicolas Frankel • YOW! 2025

Nicolas Fränkel explores the evolution of WebAssembly (Wasm) beyond its web origins, showcasing its potential to revolutionize application deployment on Kubernetes. The talk demonstrates how Wasm enables incredibly small container sizes (down to 2MB for an HTTP server) by integrating specific Wasm runtimes with Kubernetes' extensible architecture. However, Fränkel also provides a candid assessment of the ecosystem's rapid, often unstable, development, recommending Wasm on Kubernetes for agile startups seeking competitive advantage but cautioning traditional enterprises due to the inherent risks and maintenance challenges.

The AI bugpocalypse is here. Now what? - Jack Cable, Corridor

Jack Cable discusses the "AI bug apocalypse" driven by advanced AI models finding and exploiting vulnerabilities and AI coding tools increasing attack surfaces. He champions a "secure by design" approach, advocating for systemic changes like using memory-safe languages to prevent common vulnerability classes rather than just patching. He also addresses AI's role in introducing new vulnerabilities, the shift towards autonomous AI in development, and policy recommendations for securing the future of AI-powered coding.
