No. 1Score 0.77
Judge 2 Well-substantiated coverage of a research paper on AI agents evading spending limits via emailed approval codes; strong security and agent-practice relevance, with some unclear per-model details.
No. 2Score 0.72
Judge 2 Original security experiment with statistical tests showing a coding model writes less secure code when the owning company is named; strong relevance to AI-coding builders, though methods are single-model and limited.
No. 3Score 0.64
Judge 2 Concrete, sourced account of a major fintech replacing paid coding agents with self-hosted open-weight model; cost and productivity claims are self-reported and partly caveated by analysis, so moderate substantiation and practical value.
No. 4Score 0.62
Judge 2 Detailed investigative feature on OnlyFake, AI-enabled identity forgery and KYC bypass, with court records and sourcing; strong on security and fintech relevance, but little technical depth for builders and mostly narrative.
No. 5Score 0.60
Judge 2 Significant security breach at a major blockchain analytics firm with ongoing updates; relevant to security and fintech builders, but the account is vague on attack method and the 'agentic' claim is unexplained.
No. 6Score 0.59
Judge 2 Major crypto heist attributed to a state actor by FBI; significant for security and fintech readers, but mostly a news report with limited technical depth and attribution largely sourced from agencies and firms.
No. 7Score 0.58
Judge 2 Major security incident with real attack-chain detail (fake interviews, malware, compromised internal AI tool) but mostly news reporting, limited technical depth and unverified attribution claims.
No. 8Score 0.56
Judge 2 Opinion piece on crypto custody security, prompted by the Binance hack; sound argument about insider and signing-authority risk, but thin evidence and an unverified proposal for AI signing gates.
