🚨 Is Your AI Safe From Prompt Injection?

Welcome to the 251st edition of Coding Jag brought to you by LambdaTest!👐

Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming how you work, but they also introduce serious security risks. One of the major ones is prompt injection, where attackers can manipulate the model to behave in unintended ways.  

In this edition, learn how to catch real attacks with Python and GPT-4o-mini, explore Veo 3’s cinematic AI, Oracle 23.7 dev tools, GitHub Copilot customization, agentic workflows, UX pitfalls, AI agent showdown and more!

Let’s get into it 👇
