// The Meta-Agent Challenge // How good are current agents at self-improving? This is a great paper covering some of the challenges. They propose the Meta-Agent Challenge (MAC), where they give a codi

I am hooked on Dynamic Workflows! The idea of generating harnesses on the fly is so compelling that I reverse-engineered it for my agent orchestrator. And then I built a monitoring dashboard (as an HT

NEW: NVIDIA ships 550B MoE open model for long-running agents. Very exciting times to see more open models to support local long-running coding agents. Today we're shipping Nemotron 3 Ultra. A 550B Mo

Outstanding paper on long-horizon agents. (bookmark it) Similar to humans, how do you make agents persist on a difficult task, and how is that useful? And which models today work well on this? This ne

The post announces that the author will share insights about their use of dynamic workflows and explain their reasoning behind building a custom implementation. This likely covers practical applicatio

Another banger open-source release. Miso One is an 8B text-to-speech model with real emotional range, so voiceovers carry warmth, hesitation, and excitement instead of sounding flat. It's purpose-buil

New research from Google. Just shows the impressive results you can get from custom agent harnesses. LEAP wraps a general-purpose LLM in an agentic scaffold that grounds every step in the Lean compile

// State-Externalizing Harnesses // A new paradigm is emerging on how to effectively build agents and harnesses. If there is a state that the environment can maintain reliably, it probably doesn't bel

MiniMax M3, an upcoming AI model, is expected to be released soon and will undergo comprehensive testing within a custom coding agent framework. A detailed technical review of the model's performance

// Reusable Context Engineering // Context bloat quietly kills long-horizon runs, but you can fix it from the outside without fine-tuning the underlying agent. (bookmark this) Context management is us

Very good advice on self-improving agents. (bookmark it) This is something I am seeing in my own experiments with coding agents and harnesses for long-horizon tasks. What I have found is that stronger

PewDiePie has developed and released his own AI agent orchestrator, representing a trend toward independent creators building custom AI infrastructure rather than relying on existing platforms. The po

I did a talk on LLM Wikis and HTML artifacts recently, if you are curious to learn more on the topic: https://academy.dair.ai/events/cmovobp97000904l5h0n9a2yz Doing a second session and a few releases

In a few months, people will start to realize how fundamentally important MCP for agents is. It's not even about connecting tools. There are many ways to do that. It's about the types of abstraction i

Increasingly, HTML Artifacts are becoming a core part of how I work with AI agents. Long-horizon agent sessions need a better way to surface insights about what work it has done. This may not be obvio

The efficiency frontier! Where do you think GPT-5.6 will land? Claude Opus 4.8 has landed on DeepSWE Bench, posting a 58% Pass@1 and taking #2 overall behind GPT-5.5. It continues a broader trend: sli

// Scaling Laws for Agent Harnesses // If you build agent harnesses, this one is worth your time. (bookmark it) Most harness tuning treats every token and tool call as if volume is all that counts. Ne

For future-proof, build AI that's composable. Regardless of what you use, all these should be composable, iterative, and customizable: - LLMs - Evals - Automations - MCP/CLI tools - Skills/Memory/Cont

It's crazy that this is even possible today. It inspired me to build my own self-improving coding agent with simple read, write, bash,... I already used the coding agent to build an entire production-

Stronger models do not always need lighter harnesses. Everyone believes more structured harnesses universally improve reliability, and that higher-capability models need proportionally less structural

// Your Agents are Aging Too // Huh!? They need 'sleep,' and now they are aging? Joke aside, great write-up on reliable agentic engineering. This new research introduces AgingBench, a longitudinal rel

Just built an insane new agent skill. It can perfectly extract slides from YT videos, then write notes, images, transcripts, and slides into Obsidian vaults. An HTML artifact allows me to navigate and

// Language Models Need Sleep // Let your agents 'sleep', folks. On a serious note, this is a fascinating paper on getting the most from long-horizon agents. Here is the problem with agents today: Att
