Software, APIs, and things you can use
The Stack
Today's board is light on new coding agents and heavy on the layers around them — making the desktop software agents can't yet reach runnable, making their diagrams look like design work instead of tool output, and making fine-tuning something you can do on a laptop.

China's homegrown AI compute stack keeps closing the gap with the West — the latest sign: Huawei's Ascend platform ran Xiaohongshu's newest open model the day it shipped. Huawei announced that its Ascend Atlas 800 A3 servers and Atlas 900 A3 SuperPoD supernodes now fully

MCP — the Model Context Protocol — is an open standard that lets AI assistants plug into external tools and data sources the way a USB-C cable plugs into any device. It gives a chatbot or agent a universal socket for databases, calendars, code repos, calculators, and thousands of other systems,

The coding-agent parade paused today — none of this week's workspace bets repeat, so the board is fresh. The signal is the layer around agents: a browser built to share with yours, a control plane for work that runs for days, and DeepSeek's official playbook for

RAG — retrieval-augmented generation — is a technique that lets an AI model look things up in a document store before it answers, by pulling the most relevant passages into the conversation. Instead of relying only on what it memorized during training, the model gets the right pages placed in front

DeepSeek is moving up the stack from models to the software developers actually use, and Uber is scaling robotaxis across Europe. Two open-source and mobility moves to start your Friday. DeepSeek released DeepSeek Harness (dsh), an open-source agent harness under the MIT license in developer preview, built on

Coding agents still own the trending board, but today's freshest signal is the layer around them: two all-in-one agent workspaces, an NVIDIA router that points closed-agent tools at open models, and the leading open-source RAG engine holding its daily spot. Four projects worth your
The Stack
The coding-agent parade paused and the daily board filled with makers instead: a deck generator that ships real PowerPoint files, a financial-market foundation model, Lightricks' one-model audio-video release, and a tool-calling agent small enough to live on a thermostat. Four projects worth your attention.

The skills pattern just got its official reference implementation, and the freshest signal on today's board is scale: whole fleets of coding agents running in parallel instead of one in a terminal. Three projects worth your attention. anthropics/skills (Python, ~168k stars) — Anthropic's official Agent Skills

Modular today released Mojo 1.0, the first stable version of Chris Lattner's AI-native programming language, three years after its debut. The release caps a roadmap laid out last December and turns a language long viewed as promising-but-moving into one the company says developers can

Coding agents owned the trending board for two days straight. Today's signal is different: the hottest open-source repos are specialized — a legal-agent benchmark from Harvey, a 61.6k-star stock-analysis system, and ComfyUI still shipping weekly at the top of the image-gen stack. ComfyUI

Two stories this evening, both about who gets to decide what an AI coding agent is allowed to do — Anthropic is handing that decision to a classifier, and Meta is finally entering the arena. Anthropic will make auto mode the default in Claude Code for Pro, Max, and Team plans
