What is Feedly?
Feedly's reader roots recede as threat-intel agents take over the changelog
Feedly's changelog is now almost entirely a cyber threat intelligence product log. The last three months added models tuned for insider threats and threat actor campaigns, Suricata rule extraction, SPL queries alongside KQL, GreyNoise and VirusTotal enrichment, and a Vulnerability Agent. The August release extends Custom Intel Agents with Analyze and Research actions and adds a Censys lookup to IP cards.
What is Grafana Mimir?
Mimir's feed is mostly Helm automation; the real work is inside the query engine.
The apparent cadence is misleading — five of the last seven entries are bot-generated weekly Helm chart releases carrying no functional change. The substantive item is the 3.2 release candidate, which collects 693 PRs from 61 authors and concentrates on Mimir Query Engine optimizations, PromQL function coverage, and native histogram handling.

Feedly's reader roots recede as threat-intel agents take over the changelog
◆ Current state
Feedly's changelog is now almost entirely a cyber threat intelligence product log. The last three months added models tuned for insider threats and threat actor campaigns, Suricata rule extraction, SPL queries alongside KQL, GreyNoise and VirusTotal enrichment, and a Vulnerability Agent. The August release extends Custom Intel Agents with Analyze and Research actions and adds a Censys lookup to IP cards.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc runs from retrieval toward analysis: earlier releases broadened what Feedly could collect, recent ones give analysts agents that reason over it and emit artifacts their existing tools accept. Report Builder citations that trace a claim to its source passage target the trust problem gating generated intelligence in a SOC. Coverage has become table stakes; the contest is over whether analysts accept the machine's conclusions.
◆ Prediction
Expect the agent surface to keep gaining verbs rather than new data sources, with more export formats aimed at the SIEM and detection tooling analysts already run.
Grafana Mimir
5.0ANALYTICS
Mimir's feed is mostly Helm automation; the real work is inside the query engine.
◆ Current state
The apparent cadence is misleading — five of the last seven entries are bot-generated weekly Helm chart releases carrying no functional change. The substantive item is the 3.2 release candidate, which collects 693 PRs from 61 authors and concentrates on Mimir Query Engine optimizations, PromQL function coverage, and native histogram handling.
◆ Where it's heading
MQE is where the engineering is going: added support for histogram_quantiles, a native histogram trim operation, and a rename of the experimental duration-arithmetic helpers to min_of and max_of. The chart pipeline runs on its own weekly schedule and says nothing about product direction, so read this feed by ignoring roughly two-thirds of it.
◆ Prediction
With 3.2.0-rc.0 out, a 3.2.0 general release is the near-certain next step, followed by a mimir-distributed chart release once the weekly train picks up the new version.
