Agentic workflows are not a replacement for microservices; they serve as a new coordination layer built upon existing service invocation.

👿 MCP is all fun, until you add this one malicious MCP server and forget about it.

We have discovered a critical flaw in the widely-used Model Context Protocol (MCP) that enables a new form of LLM attack we term 'Tool Poisoning'.

Leaks SSH key, API keys, etc.

So, how did DeepSeek develop DeepSeek R1?

They used both DeepSeek-V3-Base and a simple prompt:

1. They asked the same question multiple times to DeepSeek-V3-Base as a group.
2. They then graded the answers, assigning an accuracy score and a format score (e.g., <think></think>).

DeepSeek, a LLM trained for a fraction of the cost of GPT-Xx models, in 2 months for 6 million, on limited GPUs due to export restrictions, and competing head to head. This is crazy.
