Install Pi Coding Agent from the official npm package, authenticate one provider, write a practical AGENTS.md file, run a read-only smoke test, and make a controlled first edit. This intermediate tutorial shows the setup order that keeps package choice, credentials, project rules, settings, and MCP tools reviewable before the agent can touch real code. It includes commands, a starter policy file, common mistakes, and package-safety checks for your first repository.
OpenAI's quiet purchase of voice-cloning startup Weights.gg, reported Friday by The New York Times, took a public catalog of unauthorized celebrity voice clones off the open web ahead of an expected S-1. The acquired team has been dispersed across OpenAI groups; Voice Engine, OpenAI's own cloning tool, is still in "limited preview" as of the company's most recent public statement.
Repo Radar's fourth issue covers the support stack builders assemble around coding agents, now that the agents are close to commodity. agentmemory adds persistent session memory across Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. codegraph pre-indexes a codebase into a local knowledge graph. agent-of-empires runs several agents in parallel across git worktrees. omlx serves local models on Apple Silicon with tiered KV caching. react-doctor scores the React that agents generate.
Weekly deep dives on AI power, strategy, and market shifts.
For founders, operators, investors, and decision-makers who need signal over noise.
Hermes Agent is not another chatbot wrapper. It is a server-side personal agent with memory, skills, tools, cron jobs, and chat channels. Here is how it works, what hardware it needs, where OpenClaw differs, and how to test it without over-permissioning it.
Four open-source tools fix four different failure modes in terminal AI. Superpowers teaches the agent how to work. Context7 feeds it current docs. Serena gives it IDE-grade code navigation. ccusage tells you what the other three cost. Here is how to install them and the commands that actually matter
Stanford and Princeton are returning to proctors and blue books as AI makes finished assignments weaker proof of learning. Detector scores carry false-positive and due-process risks, pushing universities toward drafts, oral defenses and process evidence.
Universities are reviving blue books, proctors and oral defenses as student AI use outpaces campus policy. Stanford and Princeton show the retreat to controlled exams, while Vanderbilt, UNF and Turnitin warn detector scores cannot carry misconduct cases alone. The unresolved question is what evidence of learning looks like when the finished essay is no longer enough.
