Vibe-Coding Security Risks: How Non-Coders Can Protect Projects

In an interview with t3n, Ben Sufiani, founder of the platform Pirate Skills, discusses the security challenges of 'vibe-coding'—a practice where non-programmers build software using natural language and AI agents. Sufiani, who cannot code himself, builds websites, apps, and AI agents using tools like Next.js and Vercel. He emphasizes the importance of relying on established frameworks and monitoring tools to mitigate errors, but acknowledges that vibe-coders are 'easy prey for hackers.' He advocates for 'Agentic Engineering' as a more robust approach than simple vibe-coding, requiring skills in product management, UX, security, and compliance. The interview also touches on using tools like Whisperflow for consulting and the need for continuous responsibility in AI-assisted development.

• Ben Sufiani, founder of Pirate Skills, develops websites, apps, and AI agents without coding skills.
• Sufiani uses Next.js and Vercel for his tech stack and monitoring.
• He describes vibe-coding as 'easy prey for hackers' and advocates for 'Agentic Engineering'.

Vercel AI Gateway Shows Jev Fastest Adopted Model

According to data published by Vercel, its AI gateway shows that Jev, a decision model from TypeSafe AI, reached 35% usage among paid teams within two weeks of launch, making it the fastest-adopted model in Vercel's history. Jev is designed for efficient classification by choosing from limited outputs. The data also indicates that open-source models now account for over 70% of tokens processed and nearly 25% of spend through the gateway, while spending on frontier labs has grown tenfold, suggesting complementary growth. Vercel itself adopted Jev to replace GPT-6 Luna for classifying harmful commands. The report provides first concrete usage data amid buzz around decision models, with OpenAI and Amazon releasing competing models.

• Jev reached 35% usage among paid teams within two weeks of launch.
• Jev is nearly double the reach of the second most popular model, Sonnet 5.5.
• Jev was launched in limited release on September 15 by TypeSafe AI.

Firebase Global Outage, OpenAI Platform Shift

This issue of The Pulse covers the global outage of Firebase's iOS SDK, which crashed apps using Firebase Analytics for 2-6 hours. Google failed to update its status page or provide a postmortem, criticized given its reputation for incident management. Also, OpenAI is evolving into a platform where users can allocate ChatGPT spend across open models and AI offerings from 16 partners, not just OpenAI's own models. Data from Vercel's AI gateway shows 60% of model spend goes to open-weight models, with OpenRouter confirming a shift towards open models. Additionally, a new take suggests CTOs and VPEs are leaving due to AI tools enabling solo or small-team development, rather than 'founder mode'.

• Firebase iOS SDK crashed, affecting apps for 2-6 hours.
• Google did not update status page or publish a postmortem.
• OpenAI now allows ChatGPT spend on open models from 16 partners.
