Build your own harness, folks.
This is absolute banger paper from NVIDIA on self-evolving agent harnesses.
(bookmark it)
They introduce SoL-Pi which cuts token traffic by nearly half.
And it matches its baseline harness on GPT-5.6 Sol and Opus 5.
More details below:
Instead of tuning a harness by hand, they run auto-research loops at the harness layer across many repository-derived and verifier-driven environments, keeping only the mechanisms that survive selection.
Four mechanisms survived:
> Action Fusion changes how actions execute
> Online Context Compact handles compaction during a run
> ObservationPack reshapes observation handling
> Evidence-Preserving Reducer covers delegated reading
On the 51-task EdgeBench evaluation, the savings translate to about a third off API cost. In dollars that is an estimated $8.75 to $13.50 per hour against native Codex and Claude Code harnesses, and $4.36 to $5.71 against the baseline harness.
Because the search runs across many environments rather than one, the retained mechanisms keep working outside the setting that produced them. Code is on GitHub under NVlabs.

A frame-by-frame stop-motion recreation of the Beastie Boys’ iconic “Sabotage” video by independent animator Corduroy Frames.
Five years of work. 4,340 hand-animated frames made from card stock, foam, cardboard, tin foil and cotton balls. No AI. Just pure obsessive craft.

If you're still using Swashbuckle in .NET 10, here's what you missed.
Swashbuckle hasn't had regular updates in over a year.
So, Microsoft dropped it from .NET 9+ templates and built their own.
The replacement: `Microsoft.AspNetCore.OpenApi` — built-in, lighter, maintained.
For a UI: Scalar > Swagger UI. It's faster, better looking, and supports dark mode out of the box.
Migration takes 5 minutes: remove Swashbuckle, add `builder.Services.AddOpenApi()`, done.

Stanford researchers just published a prompting technique that makes today’s LLMs behave like better versions of themselves.
It’s called “prompt ensembling” and it runs 5 variations of the same prompt, then merges the outputs.
Here’s how it works 👇

If this Gemini demo is remotely accurate, it’s showing broader intelligence than a non-zero fraction of adult humans *already* lol

If you are a multi billion dollar company and are concerned about log4j, why not just email OSS authors you never paid anything and demand a response for free within 24 hours with lots of info? (company name redacted for *my* peace of mind)
