📚 EngiWorld: What Can Frontier Agents Deliver in Professional Engineering Environments? — EngiWorld bills itself as the first benchmark covering the complete professional engineering workflow — not isolated coding tasks. Useful for calibrating what frontier agents actually deliver on multi-step engineering work.
📚 OMP 18.6.1 — Subagent follow-up messages now arrive as background jobs you can wait on or cancel (delivered once); fixes OpenAI context compaction wrongly rejecting sessions with many screenshots, and preserves DeepSeek-family reasoning context for warm Responses sessions.
📚 Ordewell 0.6.3 — Closes the planner confinement hole from 0.6.2 — a `cd` chain no longer lets the research agent read outside the workspace unprompted. Terminal transport now runs OpenCode 2.x and works on macOS without tmux.
Two runtime fixes are the actionable part today — Ordewell closed a workspace-confinement escape and OMP made subagent replies waitable background jobs — while the benchmark paper suggests frontier agents still don't clear end-to-end engineering work.

📦 Pi 1.0.0 — The TUI runs fullscreen by default (`tuiMode: "regular"` keeps the terminal's normal scrollback); codemode uses about 40% fewer prompt tokens and its errors tell the model how to recover; MCP OAuth hardening adds `oauth.authServerMetadataUrl`, RFC 9207 `iss` checks, credentials per server, and step-up sign-in that keeps granted scopes. Also in 1.0.0: `models.generateImages()` in codemode using the session's credentials, and Radius sign-in plus its MCP server setup in one step from `/login`.
📦 Anthropic: Claude Frontier Academy — $100M to train 10,000 engineers — Anthropic commits $100M to train 10,000 Frontier Deployed Engineers and tackle the enterprise AI talent gap — trained to "the same standard of skills as Anthropic's own engineers," with first cohorts from Accenture, Bain, and Capgemini.
Pi's release notes pair the codemode token cut — about 40% fewer — with errors that tell the model how to recover.

📚 Runmaestro/Maestro 0.17.8 — Security release: the built-in server that maestro-cli and the phone interface drive listened on the whole network from the moment Maestro opened, even with Live off, and answered requests from any web page — anyone with its URL could run commands. It now listens on 127.0.0.1 only until Live is turned on.
📚 fx 0.0.13 — Ultrafast lands on supported OpenAI models through AI Gateway (a higher-priced inference tier) — launches up to 23× faster, shell calls up to 8.6× faster, exits up to 44× faster in matched benchmarks; subagents and ACP sessions support it. Breaking: terminals launched through the shell tool now stop when fx exits, and new libfx checkpoints cannot be restored by older versions.
📚 Show HN: Offrun – manage every coding agent from one workspace — Run Claude Code, Codex, AGY, and Grok Build side by side — see who is working, who needs you, and what every account has left. 76 points and 64 comments on HN.
📚 1Jehuang/Jcode 0.90.1 — OpenAI-compatible providers that answer 529 or another 5xx "heavy usage" error are now retried automatically instead of failing the turn, and /usage shows real quota windows for Kimi Code, Cursor, and the Z.ai Coding Plan.

📦 Devin CLI v3000.11.1 / v3000.11.3 — v3000.11.1 adds `devin --cloud` / `/cloud` to run Devin Cloud sessions from the CLI, `/handoff` and `/pickup` to bring a cloud session's PR branch into a local session, and `devin ssh` / `/ssh` to connect to a Devin Cloud VM; ACP clients can now select Devin models, thinking effort, and speed. Agent events and metrics export to an OpenTelemetry collector via the `otel` config block or `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_*` variables. v3000.11.3 fixes browser login to record the signed-in tenant's webapp host so `/handoff` and `/share` links open on `<customer>.devinenterprise.com` instead of `app.devin.ai` — re-run `/login` to pick it up.

📚 Introducing Mistral Large 4: Le chonk — Mistral ships a preview of Mistral Large 4 — a 1 trillion parameter, 49 billion active parameter model trained on their own cluster of 3,800 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GPUs.
📚 Claude Code in the cloud: a field guide to cloud sessions — Addy Osmani's field guide to running Claude Code on its own machine: what changes, which workflows pay off, and how to connect GitHub on the first try.
📚 Base Models Can Reason By Taking a Cue From Training Data — Paper reports two opening tokens can bring a base model's reasoning performance close to that of a tuned model.

📦 OMP 18.8.0 — Breaking: the env API-key helpers (
📦 Cursor: Remote control for local agents — You can now see and reply to the local agents running on your computer from Cursor — remote control for agents that stay on your machine.
📦 Anthropic launches expanded Cyber Verification Program — The expanded CVP makes advanced cyber capabilities and reduced blocking classifiers available to qualifying security professionals, now organized into three access tiers that security teams can apply for.
Both harness items extend agent operation past the live session — Cursor adds remote see-and-reply for local agents, and OMP 18.8.0 improves tool-output pruning and telemetry capture during long-running sessions.
📦 OMP 18.8.0 — Breaking: the env API-key helpers (
getEnvApiKey, getEnvApiKeyName, listProvidersWithEnvKey) are no longer exported from @oh-my-pi/pi-ai/stream — import from @oh-my-pi/pi-ai or @oh-my-pi/pi-ai/env-api-key — and TranscriptionRequest.audio now accepts Uint8Array | Blob, so consumers must handle Blob. Plus CPU/memory efficiency gains across streamed responses (Cursor, Devin, Codex, OpenAI Responses, GitLab Duo Workflow) and faster tool-output pruning/telemetry in long-running sessions.📦 Cursor: Remote control for local agents — You can now see and reply to the local agents running on your computer from Cursor — remote control for agents that stay on your machine.

🚨 GitHub: Incident with Git Operations, Pull Requests and Actions — Incident spanned Git Operations, Pull Requests, and Actions, resolved after 71 minutes — re-check any Actions runs queued in that window.
🚨 Cursor: service degradation — Cloud Agents and Grok Bot — Service degradation affecting Cloud Agents and Grok Bot — Grok Bot was restored first while the Cloud Agents investigation continued; resolved after 159 minutes.
Both incidents are marked resolved — GitHub's Git Operations/Pull Requests/Actions incident after 71 minutes, Cursor's Cloud Agents and Grok Bot degradation after 159 — so the residue to check is Actions runs and Cloud Agent tasks that failed inside those windows, not a pending fix.

💬 OpenAI's Decisions API is in public beta — HN discussion — 376 points and 219 comments on HN for the Decisions API public beta; the thread already includes a curl example calling the v1/decisions endpoint.
💬 Strands Decider 2B: a small, open-source, decision model — 270 points and 76 comments on HN for Strands' small open-source 2B decision model; one commenter who says they regularly use specialized micromodels warns, 'you won't be happy with such a model.'
💬 Slop Alert: Super Mario Sunshine PC port has Claude code — A Bluesky 'Slop Alert' post (23 likes, 11 reposts) claims the Super Mario Sunshine PC port has Claude code in it.
The two biggest HN threads converge on the same theme — decision-making as its own primitive: OpenAI's Decisions API in public beta, and Strands' small open-source 2B decision model.

📚 CheckerBench: Can Long-Horizon Agents Synthesize Static-Analysis Checkers? — Introduces an executable benchmark for evaluating whether long-horizon agents can synthesize static-analysis checkers — a concrete yardstick for coding-agent evals on extended, multi-step work.
📚 Understanding and Enhancing Backdoor Persistency in LLM Agent Post-Training — Asks whether benign post-training can remove inherited backdoors in LLM agents, and examines how persistent those backdoors remain — security reading for anyone fine-tuning or sourcing agent models.
