Platforms that developers use to format their input unintentionally share “thousands” of secrets, according to new research. Researchers from watchTowr captured a dataset of more than 80,000 saved pieces of JSON from code formatting tools JSONFormatter and CodeBeautify and parsed the dataset to discover “thousands of secrets” such as Active Directory and AWS credentials, authentication and API keys, and more. In typical watchTowr snark, the researchers noted, “it went exactly as badly as you might expect.” Code Formatting Tools Create Shareable Links In a post titled, “Stop Putting Your Passwords Into Random Websites,” the researchers noted that users of the…

In 2025, generative AI has evolved from text generation to multi-modal use cases ranging from audio transcription and translation to voice agents that require real-time data streaming. Today’s applications demand something more: continuous, real-time dialogue between users and models—the ability for data to flow both ways, simultaneously, over a single persistent connection. Imagine a speech to text use-case, where you will need to stream the audio stream as input and receive the transcripted text as a continuous stream. Such use-cases will require bi-directional streaming capability. We’re introducing bidirectional streaming for Amazon SageMaker AI Inference, which transforms inference from a transactional exchange…
