How to build secure and scalable remote MCP servers

Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables AI agents to connect to external tools and data sources without having to implement API-specific connectors. Whether you’re extracting key data from invoices, summarizing support tickets, or searching for code snippets across a large codebase, MCP provides a standardized way to connect LLMs with the context they need.  Below we’ll […]

A Discussion of ‘Adversarial Examples Are Not Bugs, They Are Features’

On May 6th, Andrew Ilyas and colleagues published a paper outlining two sets of experiments. Firstly, they showed that models trained on adversarial examples can transfer to real data, and secondly that models trained on a dataset derived from the representations of robust neural networks seem to inherit non-trivial robustness. They proposed an intriguing interpretation […]
