Agent-net Open Sources Webagent: A Go Harness That Turns Any Website into a Guarded AI Agent
Agent-net, the team building an agent-to-agent marketplace where AI agents discover, trust, and pay each other, has released Webagent, an open source harness for standing up public-facing business agents. So,…
Meta Introduces ZGateway: A Stateless Proxy Tier That Unifies ZippyDB Traffic and Handles Over 1 Billion Operations Per Second
Meta engineering team introduced ZGateway, a proxy tier that now sits between client applications and ZippyDB, the Meta’s most widely used key value store. ZippyDB backs product metadata, counters, and…
Sakana AI Researchers Introduce PC-ALM, a Layer-Local Alternative to Backpropagation That Trains 1000-Layer Networks
Backpropagation is a global algorithm: a forward pass, then a backward pass, then a weight update, each locked behind the previous one. Brains have no known mechanism for that kind…
Agent Harness vs Agent Framework vs MCP: Which Layer Owns the Loop, State, Tools, Permissions, and Recovery
Harness, framework, and MCP get used interchangeably in agent architecture discussions. They are not the same thing. They sit at different layers, own different responsibilities, and increasingly overlap at the…
Reward AI Releases OM-1: A Robot Policy Trained on Human Demonstrations Only, With No Teleoperation or On-Robot Data
Reward AI, a robotics startup whose team’s prior work includes DexCap, HumanPlus, and ALOHA, has released OM-1, short for Omnibody Model 1. OM-1 is a general-purpose manipulation policy that learns…
NVIDIA Open-Sources OSMO: One YAML Orchestrates Physical AI Training, Simulation, and Robot Testing
Robot developers do not have one compute problem. They have 3. A policy is trained on GB200 or H100 clusters, tested in Isaac Sim on RTX GPUs, then validated on…

A Princeton Researcher Proposes Recurrent Looped Transformer (RLT) that Carries Decoder State across Every Token, Fixing 96 Blocks per Token with Unbounded Temporal Depth
In most decoder-only LLMs, nothing computed at the last layer of token t feeds the first layer of token t+1; positions communicate only through attention over cached keys and values.…
