LLM-guided formal verification

LLM-guided hierarchical decomposition solves 50-59% of TLA+ proof obligations TLA+ - The Temporal Logic of Actions

LMGPA pairs an LLM with symbolic prover SAPG: simple obligations go straight to SAPG, complex ones get recursively decomposed by the LLM into normalized JSON subclaims rather than raw TLA+ syntax. The constraint lifts proof validity from ~20% to >60%, tested across 119 theorems from math and distributed protocols using six frontier models.

NDC: Data lake exposure eclipses prompt injection as critical risk in agentic systems NDC Conferences

Jon McCoy argues prompt injection concern reflects survivor bias while the real threat is multi-agent, multi-team data lake access without workload isolation. Recommends treating data lake connections as internet-exposed endpoints, decomposing lakes by workload, and having security teams own every data pull.

microservices cost architecture

Wix cuts Kubernetes node count 50% by collapsing 4,000 microservices into shared-runtime host-guest pairs GeeCON

Wix's Nile platform bundles related JVM microservices as thin "guest" pods communicating via gRPC with a single "host" daemon set per node that owns all framework concerns—data access, Kafka, feature flags. Result: 27% CPU reduction, 32% memory reduction, half the node count across 5 billion daily requests.
