gave openai dots a week with a real workflow and moved everything back to grok bot after 7 days. one dot only, a vm i couldn't use as a human, and zero way to hand it a credential. long write-up of what broke for me

1/ Introducing the Cua Spaces SDK. Every big lab now ships a bot with its own computer: Grok Bot, Muse, dots. None let you bring your own. With Cua Spaces, now you can. Put Claude Code, Codex or any agent on compute you choose, and run jobs across all your computers at once.

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 just matched Opus 5.5 on long horizon browser use. 19x cheaper 👀 > 75/100, same as Opus 5.5, almost Astra level > $0.22/task vs $2.35/task > Sol it still SOTA, but it's close The new pareto frontier 🔥

Prompt of the day: Create a pre-commit hook that prevents files over 5,000 tokens. Tokens = bytes/4. Run only on staged files. Ignore files which are not authored by agents, like lockfiles or codegen. Provide explicit instructions on how to split files in the error message. The simplest investment I ever made in my codebase. So good.

4 repos to get models off someone else's server: 1. ggml-org/llama.cpp, the C++ core a lot of local tools wrap 2. ollama/ollama, one binary, pull and run 3. ml-explore/mlx on Apple silicon 4. google-ai-edge/gallery, Gemma offline on Android, iOS, Mac 4 even shows its reasoning

Anthropic's numbers on its own engineering org: → ~6 agent hours per human hour → commits per engineer 5x in six months → junior technical hiring 27% to 9% → sessions wait on a person ~80% of the time that 80% is the number i'd work on before adding a single extra agent
7
OpenCode got breached last night. → 1.4% of OpenCode Console users hit, only accounts with external providers connected → they tie it to a large scale distillation attack → affected users got an email this morning if you ever pasted an OpenAI or Anthropic key in there i'd rotate it anyway, email or not
9
Android's team ships official agent skills, plain SKILL.md files. → XML to Compose, Play Billing, AGP 9, R8 → android skills add --all wires them into your agents written only where their evals showed models failing. i trust that over prompt packs github.com/android/skills

DeepSeek V4.1-Flash-1017 is out, MIT weights. → DeepSWE 74.2 to 77.0 → shorter answers, same API price → Search & Fetch API open to all, $0.75 per 1k calls the search price is what i'd wire in first, since nobody budgets for agent web lookups

Claude Code now gzips the conversation it sends each turn. → first token, local: 4.07s to 1.33s → cloud: 16.99s to 6s, sessions boot while you type → opt out: CLAUDE_CODE_GZIP_REQUEST_BODIES=0 a 3x from compressing JSON, funny nobody did it sooner code.claude.com/docs/en/chan…

paste this into CLAUDE.md before an agent touches tests: ## done 1. new test fails on main first 2. fix src/, never the test 3. test looks wrong? stop and tell me the line 4. paste the exact command + output if the diff edits an assertion to go green i revert the whole thing

AgentPlans radar for Oct 17. 849 repos scanned, ranked by stars/day (no 7-day history yet): → deepseek-harness → morluto/rea → ponytail → affaan-m/ECC → dsh-our-free-model All five MIT. No model weights on the list, just the layer around the model. agentplans.vercel.app/radar

Cline v4.1.25: tasks keep running after you close the editor. pick a repo + branch, it runs on their hosted box and pings you when it's done. also in there: with no model pinned, the Cline provider now defaults to Gemini 4 Argon. if you didn't pin one, you're on a new model

NVIDIA open-sourced ASPIRE. the "trained model" is a repo of robot skills, not weights. → agent writes control code, reads the failure trace, patches it → 99% on 80 LIBERO-Pro tasks README says the generated Python gets full imports. read that first github.com/NVlabs/ASPIRE

The NIST P-256 seed people side-eyed for 25 years came out of lrand48, seeded with a Unix timestamp from August 1997. → Claude traced it in under 30 min, after a few Anthropic folks had chased the "hashed phrase" rumor and gotten nowhere → P-192 through P-521 all fit 1997-98 timestamps B-163 and a few base points are still unexplained, so the backdoor crowd keeps a little room anthropic.com/research/ecdsa…

Claude Mythos 5 ran in a loop against a circuit checker, no human between rounds, and beat the best published quantum circuits on 7 of 8 tasks. → elliptic-curve circuit: 17x fewer gates → 53h longest run the scorer is what i'd steal: correctness first, then qubits x gates

GPT-6 Pro in ChatGPT now splits one task across parallel agents. → watch each agent's progress → open finished parts to review their work → faster, better plugin and tool use → Pro only for now per-agent review is the bit i'd use. 3 agents = 3 outputs someone still has to read
