As more details emerge about OpenAI's cyberattack against Hugging Face, lawmakers are taking an interest. PLUS: Meta's cynical new ad + "pervert glasses" damage control
<h2 id="part-1-from-one-support-bot-to-a-framework">Part 1: From one support bot to a framework</h2> <p>At Grab, AI agents have evolved from interesting team prototypes into production services used every day by millions of merchants, drivers, and consumers. Today, more than 500 services run on our internal agent framework, over 50 Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers are registered on our remote MCP framework, and a single Large Language Model (LLM) gateway fronts every model call across the co
Long-horizon execution in Large Language Models (LLMs) remains unstable even when high-level strategies are provided. Evaluating on controlled algorithmic puzzles, we demonstrate that while decomposition is essential for stability, extreme decomposition creates a “no-recovery bottleneck”. We show that this bottleneck becomes critical due to highly non-uniform error distribution, where consistent errors on a few “hard” steps become irreversible. To address this, we propose Lookahead-Enhanced Atom
Claude Opus 5 from Anthropic is now available on AI Gateway. Opus 5 improves on previous Opus models for long-horizon agentic coding, handling multi-file features, larger refactors, and end-to-end feature work, and completing full tasks rather than leaving stubs or placeholders. Opus 5 is effective at low and medium effort, which produce quality at a fraction of the tokens and latency of higher settings. Vision is stronger on charts, documents, diagrams, and UI replication, and Opus 5 makes effe

Microsoft AI released two new in-house models into public preview on Wednesday — MAI-Image-2.5-Pro , its highest-fidelity image generator to date, and MAI-Voice-2-Flash , a speech model built for high-volume enterprise workloads — while publishing production data that amounts to the company's most aggressive argument yet that it can power its own products without leaning on OpenAI's frontier models. The announcement, made by Microsoft AI's Superintelligence team , lands roughly a year after the

This is a small quality of life project i built for myself and using it for 3+ months now, decided to fork it out and publish as a skill separately. Instead of seeing terminals filled with code and tool calls, seeing a book quote felt like a breath of fresh air considering all of us are glued to it day and night. Hope the random quotes that pop up in your terminals lets you have a moment of pause or happiness every now and then while the agents keep churning out stuff for us. Please feel free to
Just wondering about this, because I don't think I've seen it said plainly. Hugging Face is the place where all us home-labbing AI enthusiasts get our models from. Aka, at the end of the day, OpenAI's likely mortal enemy. It feels like no one is mentioning this point, am I missing something?

Two weeks after debuting its more naturalistic GPT-Live audio AI model with full-duplex capabilities (listening and speaking at the same time), OpenAI is bringing it directly into developer workflows. The company announced that GPT-Live now powers the ChatGPT desktop application on macOS and Windows, integrating directly with agentic systems like Codex and ChatGPT Work (which are separate experiences available in the ChatGPT desktop app). When OpenAI initially launched GPT-Live on July 8, 2026,

I built Skim because I was super dissatisfied with all existing Windows clients. I mean, it's not a rocket science, there should be some lightweight modern solution, isn't it? So I decided to create a client that just, you know, MAKES SENSE and has design younger than dinosaurs. Key points: * Obsessed with installer size: it should be under 5Mb. * BYOK AI. Cowriter, agentic search, summarization and other AI stuff is powered by your own key for Anthropic/Openrouter, or you can connect your own O

Microsoft has seemingly abandoned quality and craftsmanship a long time ago. But more recently they are rushing to force-feed us unfinished AI and web apps just so they can stay in the AI hype race.

At what point should we tell our employers to say no to MS treating paying customers as unpaid bulk beta testers? Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49027955 Points:

OpenTrust is an open-source TypeScript SDK that collects privacy-preserving browser trust signals. It focuses on signals, not decisions: - browser automation detection - virtual camera detection - passive liveness signals The goal is to provide an additional trust layer for applications in a world where browsers may increasingly be controlled by automation and AI agents.

AMD is challenging its chipmaker rival with a new rack-scale system that will start shipping to customers later this year.
Before agents entered the scene, the answer was obvious: A developer "writes" or "creates" software. While software craftsmen mourned the death of their craft, reality moved on. In February 2025, Andrej Karpathy ingeniously coined the term "vibe coding" (which hit Merriam-Webster as a slang term shortly after) to describe the shift from hand-writing code to steering the agent. But the honeymoon didn't last. Amateurs quickly ruined the vibe when their weekend projects got routinely annihilated up

Hi HN, I'm building CobaltCode, a platform for running coding agents inside persistent development environments. Basically I was fed up with git worktrees and having to run everything locally, usually one at a time so built CobaltCode.ai. Each task gets an separate vm with its own repository checkout, dependencies, running services, agent session, previews, and persistent state. It can also run your app inside the vm so you can preview different features in parallel. You can leave a task, resume
