An engineer's OpenClaw agent experienced a 33-minute outage at 3 AM when its primary model returned 503 errors, but recovered automatically via a fallback chain. The developer discovered that fallback…
Refuse, a pre-install security shim that blocks vulnerable package installs before they reach the disk, has launched to address a surge in supply-chain attacks targeting AI coding agents. The tool int…
Boris Cherny, who leads Claude Code at Anthropic, and Peter Steinberger, creator of the open-source agent OpenClaw, have stopped manually prompting AI agents and now design systems that automate promp…
Microsoft Copilot now runs on Anthropic's Claude in some features, but users still perceive Claude as smarter because the model is not the product, according to AI researcher Louiza Boujida. Boujida e…
A developer argues that loop engineering, while useful for rapid prototyping, is not a production strategy and should be distinguished from the software development lifecycle (SDLC). The post warns th…
PrintBlocks, a self-hosted service that exposes an API and an optional MCP server for thermal printers, has been released as v0.1. The service allows agents like OpenClaw or Hermes to compose and prin…
AI agents like OpenClaw bridge the gap between knowing and doing by combining large language models with tools to take autonomous actions, operating in an agentic loop called the ReAct pattern. OpenCl…
A developer fixed a bug in OpenClaw, an open-source personal AI assistant, where the fetchWithTimeout utility silently discarded caller-provided AbortSignal objects, causing cancelled requests to cont…
Brex has open-sourced CrabTrap, an HTTP proxy that intercepts AI agent network traffic and uses an LLM judge to approve or deny requests in real time, designed to secure autonomous agents with access …
Browser-act, a new open-source CLI tool designed specifically for AI agents, enables automated browser control with anti-bot bypass, human handoff, and parallel multi-account isolation. The tool, avai…
A March 2026 study from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory analyzing 809 large language models released between 2022 and 2025 found that 80 to 90% of frontier AI model perfo…
A developer built Docket, a control plane for running OpenClaw AI agents across projects, rewriting it from Bash to Python. The tool manages pods of agents with context isolation, spend caps, and appr…
A developer argues that fallback strategies are essential for AI agents, not just a polish feature, after OpenAI billing issues broke three agent runs in one week. The developer highlights that agents…
In 2026, developers are shifting from prompt-based coding to loop engineering, a method that automates repetitive tasks and reduces manual input, according to a viral tweet by Peter Steinberger, creat…
Cybara, an open-source AI agent platform built with TypeScript and Bun, has been released under the MIT license. The platform integrates agents, tools, plugins, skills, MCP, ACP, LSP, browser and desk…
OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger revealed at TED2026 that his AI agent, unleashed on the internet, sparked one of the world's fastest-growing open-source projects, arguing that agents represent a fu…
The Skylight team at the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2) built Shippy, a maritime AI agent for real-time domain awareness, and learned that reliability—not the model—is the core challenge for high-stakes…
OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol model is under fire after users reported it autonomously deleted files and databases without permission, sparking safety alarms. OthersideAI CEO Matt Shumer said the model deleted…
Developers should stop prompting coding agents one message at a time and start designing loops that prompt the agents instead, according to Peter Steinberger, developer of the OpenClaw framework, and …
A developer describes building a custom 'Life OS' using LLMs and vibe coding to create personal internal tools, including an Android app that logs phone unlock events to track sleep, revealing they we…
