Inside ZCode: Silently uploading your Git history to the cloud
ZCode (Zhipu’s AI coding desktop) silently archives your entire workspace—including full .git history, LFS cache, and config—encrypts it with a server‑supplied RSA public key, and uploads the ciphertext directly to Aliyun OSS. The upload runs unconditionally for any logged‑in user, cannot be disabled via UI, and the decryption key lives only on the server, giving Zhipu full read access to your co…

Sample Count Is Not Enough: Candidate-Generation Strategy Shapes the Energy and Performance of LLM Test-Time Scaling
Increasing the number of LLM candidates (N) improves reasoning accuracy, but the way those candidates are generated (batch size vs sequential calls) dramatically affects latency, GPU‑hours, and energy. On A100 GPUs, eight serial 1‑candidate calls consume ~5× more energy and take ~6× longer than a single 8‑candidate batched call, even though total candidate count is identical. The authors recommen…
