What is Feedly?

Feedly has become a threat-intel platform where AI agents, not feeds, do the reading.

Feedly now ships on a two-week cadence almost entirely against its Threat Intelligence product. The surface is a family of AI agents — Custom Intel Agents, Cyberattack Agent, Vulnerability Agent, plus tuned models for insider threats and threat-actor campaigns — wrapped in Insight Cards that carry CVE, IoC and detection-rule context. Report Builder and newsletters are the output layer; the RSS reader heritage barely appears in the changelog anymore.

What is Grafana Loki?

Loki 4.0 reaches RC3 and narrows S3 storage classes to Standard and Standard-IA.

Loki 4.0 is moving through release candidates. RC1's notes list the breaking changes: the V2 query engine unplugged, Simple Scalable Deployment targets and old /api/prom endpoints removed, protobuf as the default frontend encoding, and several deprecated settings and metrics dropped. RC2 removed every index backend but TSDB, and RC3 adds one more break, limiting S3 storage classes to STANDARD and STANDARD_IA, plus a compactor delete fix.

5.0

Feedly has become a threat-intel platform where AI agents, not feeds, do the reading.

◆ Current state

Feedly now ships on a two-week cadence almost entirely against its Threat Intelligence product. The surface is a family of AI agents — Custom Intel Agents, Cyberattack Agent, Vulnerability Agent, plus tuned models for insider threats and threat-actor campaigns — wrapped in Insight Cards that carry CVE, IoC and detection-rule context. Report Builder and newsletters are the output layer; the RSS reader heritage barely appears in the changelog anymore.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run through every release. First, agents are being fleshed out into complete workflow objects: they gained Ask AI Analyze and Research actions, then table controls, then alerting. Second, Feedly is closing the trust gap that AI-generated intel opens — MITRE ATT&CK tagging accuracy, exploit confidence and evidence on CVE cards, and Report Builder citations that resolve to the source passage. The integrations (Censys, GreyNoise, VirusTotal, Analyst1, SPL alongside KQL) point at fitting into SOC tooling rather than replacing it.

◆ Prediction

Expect the alerting added to Custom Intel Agents to spread to the other agents, and continued query-language and enrichment coverage aimed at existing SIEM workflows. Whether the Ask AI Research Playground becomes a real self-serve entry point or stays an evaluation demo is not readable from these entries.

6.3

Loki 4.0 reaches RC3 and narrows S3 storage classes to Standard and Standard-IA.

◆ Current state

Loki 4.0 is moving through release candidates. RC1's notes list the breaking changes: the V2 query engine unplugged, Simple Scalable Deployment targets and old /api/prom endpoints removed, protobuf as the default frontend encoding, and several deprecated settings and metrics dropped. RC2 removed every index backend but TSDB, and RC3 adds one more break, limiting S3 storage classes to STANDARD and STANDARD_IA, plus a compactor delete fix.

◆ Where it's heading

Each candidate trims a bit more legacy surface, so 4.0 is a cleanup major that pushes installs onto TSDB and the microservices or single-binary layouts. The Operator had prepared this path since 0.11 and 0.12.

◆ Prediction

Expect a few more RCs with small breaking changes, then 4.0.0 GA and an Operator release that drops the removed schemas.
