What is Incus?

Incus 7.6 fixes 18 security issues, eight critical, and adds SR-IOV NIC live migration

Incus 7.6, released October 30, carries 18 security fixes, eight rated critical, many of them about restricted projects reaching the default project or the host, plus an authentication bypass through unverified client certificate chains. Its features aim at larger environments: live migration for VMs using SR-IOV NICs, multifd for VM live migration, cluster healing options, compression for block volumes, and OIDC opaque tokens. 7.5 before it added live migration between projects, cluster metrics and NVIDIA GPU cliques. The 7.0 LTS branch received a second patch, 7.0.2, with no described changes.

What is v0 by Vercel?

v0 lets ChatGPT subscribers pay with their plan and pulls Slack in as working context.

v0's recent releases concentrate on who pays and where context comes from. ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers can spend their plan instead of v0 credits, personal accounts became team workspaces, and the model picker now browses AI Gateway models with token pricing and Enterprise owner controls. Slack joined through MCP, and a lighter Code tab lets users edit files and leave comments as prompt context.

Incus 7.6 fixes 18 security issues, eight critical, and adds SR-IOV NIC live migration

◆ Current state

Incus 7.6, released October 30, carries 18 security fixes, eight rated critical, many of them about restricted projects reaching the default project or the host, plus an authentication bypass through unverified client certificate chains. Its features aim at larger environments: live migration for VMs using SR-IOV NICs, multifd for VM live migration, cluster healing options, compression for block volumes, and OIDC opaque tokens. 7.5 before it added live migration between projects, cluster metrics and NVIDIA GPU cliques. The 7.0 LTS branch received a second patch, 7.0.2, with no described changes.

◆ Where it's heading

Live migration is still the through-line: 7.4 made it near-live for dependent disks, 7.5 took it across projects, and 7.6 extends it to VMs using SR-IOV NICs. The other thread is multi-tenancy under scrutiny. The size of the 7.6 security batch, with several critical items in project isolation, shows that restricted projects are now being tested as a real boundary, and the release adds a build and threat model for Anthropic's OSS Scanner.

◆ Prediction

Expect a 7.6.x patch or further security fixes, because the project-isolation findings cover a wide surface. The monthly feature cadence should continue with more live-migration throughput work, given multifd and the throughput improvements in this release.

v0 lets ChatGPT subscribers pay with their plan and pulls Slack in as working context.

◆ Current state

v0's recent releases concentrate on who pays and where context comes from. ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers can spend their plan instead of v0 credits, personal accounts became team workspaces, and the model picker now browses AI Gateway models with token pricing and Enterprise owner controls. Slack joined through MCP, and a lighter Code tab lets users edit files and leave comments as prompt context.

◆ Where it's heading

The billing change is the directional one: eligible responses no longer have to be paid for in v0 credits. Paired with a picker that shows token prices, v0 is treating the model layer as something users bring or choose, while it competes on the builder, the collaboration surface and deployment. Making every account a workspace puts team features in front of solo users.

◆ Prediction

The ChatGPT option suggests other model subscriptions could be connected, though these entries name no other provider. More MCP connectors after Slack are the likeliest near-term release, given the existing connector pattern.
