An extremely fast Python type checker and language server, written in Rust.

In early testing, it's 10x, 50x, even 100x faster than existing type checkers. ( >600x speed-ups over Mypy in some real-world projects.)

Microsoft and Google released their coding agents - probably as an answer to Codex from OpenAI:

macOS 26 is getting native support for Linux containers.
Apple open sourced a tool for creating and running Linux containers using lightweight virtual machines on a Mac. It's written in Swift, and optimized for Apple silicon.

Docker desktop adds native IPv6, built-in MCP, and better model packaging.

One of the important parts is:
"Unlike typical setups that run MCP servers via npx or uvx processes with broad access to the host system, Docker Desktop runs these servers inside isolated containers with well-defined security boundaries. All container images are cryptographically signed, with proper isolation of secrets and configuration data."
Two researchers released an early version of their new LM architecture.
The advantage is that it does not use any variant of multi-head attention or recurrence, and it works well with long context lengths. They are calling it "Avey". Everything is open-sourced under a Apache-2.0 license.

The main advantage would be to massively decrease the memory usage for the context window, that means even a context of 100k+ tokens would still be compute and not memory bound. It’s quite early and slower than current tech though.

Unregistry is a lightweight container image registry that stores and serves images directly from your Docker daemon's storage.
The included docker pussh command (extra 's' for SSH) lets you push images straight to remote Docker servers over SSH. It transfers only the missing layers, making it fast and efficient. That means you can push docker images directly to remote servers without an external registry.

Google is preparing a launch for their new CLI tool. They accidentally published the Gemini CLI blog post which now returns 404.

What’s inside:
- Open-source CLI for Gemini 2.5 Pro
- Free: 60 req/min & 1,000/day
- Google Search grounding
- Plugin/script support
- VS Code integration (Gemini Code Assist)
