Anthropic’s Claude Agents Build a Rust‑Based C Compiler

Anthropic’s Claude Agents Build a Rust‑Based C Compiler
Anthropic researcher Nicholas Carlini used sixteen instances of the Claude Opus 4.6 model, organized as “agent teams,” to develop a Rust‑based C compiler from scratch. Over two weeks and nearly 2,000 Claude Code sessions, the agents produced a 100,000‑line compiler capable of building a bootable Linux 6.9 kernel for x86, ARM and RISC‑V. The open‑source project, released on GitHub, compiles major software such as PostgreSQL, SQLite, Redis, FFmpeg and QEMU, passes 99 percent of the GCC torture test suite, and even runs Doom. The experiment highlights the potential of semi‑autonomous AI coding on well‑defined tasks. Leia mais →

GitHub Introduces Claude and Codex AI Coding Agents in Public Preview
GitHub has launched a public preview that brings Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's Codex AI coding agents directly into GitHub, GitHub Mobile, and Visual Studio Code. Available to users with Copilot Pro Plus or Copilot Enterprise subscriptions, the new agents join GitHub's Agent HQ vision, allowing developers to select from Copilot, Claude, Codex, or custom agents for tasks such as issue handling and pull‑request assistance. The integration aims to reduce context switching, let developers compare agent performance, and expand the range of AI models available within the platform. Microsoft is also testing Claude Code alongside Copilot. Leia mais →

OpenClaw AI Assistant Survives Trademark Dispute, Scams and Security Scrutiny

OpenClaw AI Assistant Survives Trademark Dispute, Scams and Security Scrutiny
OpenClaw, formerly known as Clawdbot and Moltbot, is an open‑source AI assistant that integrates directly into messaging apps to automate tasks, remember conversations, and send proactive reminders. After a rapid rise in popularity, the project faced a trademark challenge from Anthropic, a wave of crypto‑related scams, and several security concerns tied to exposed deployments. Despite these setbacks, the developer has rebranded the tool as OpenClaw, addressed many of the vulnerabilities, and continues to attract interest from developers and early adopters who see it as a glimpse of what a truly personal AI assistant could become.

Microsoft CEO Defends AI Spending as Copilot Usage Grows

Microsoft CEO Defends AI Spending as Copilot Usage Grows
Microsoft reported strong quarterly results, posting $81.3 billion in revenue and $38.3 billion in net income while highlighting record cloud revenue of over $50 billion. CEO Satya Nadella emphasized that the company’s massive capital expenditures—$88.2 billion last year and $72.4 billion so far this year—are aimed at expanding AI services across Azure, Microsoft 365, and partner labs. He pointed to rapid growth in Copilot products, noting a near‑three‑fold increase in daily consumer users, 4.7 million paid GitHub Copilot subscribers, and 15 million paid seats for Microsoft 365 Copilot. Nadella insisted the AI demand far exceeds data‑center capacity, underscoring confidence that the spending will translate into broader adoption and future profit. Leia mais →

Open‑Source AI Assistant Moltbot Gains Rapid Popularity Amid Security Concerns

Open‑Source AI Assistant Moltbot Gains Rapid Popularity Amid Security Concerns
The open‑source AI assistant Moltbot, formerly known as Clawdbot, has quickly risen to prominence, earning tens of thousands of stars on GitHub within a month. Developed by Austrian programmer Peter Steinberger, the tool lets users run a personal assistant that interacts through popular messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, and others. While users praise its proactive capabilities and compare it to cinematic AI helpers, the system requires external large‑language‑model subscriptions and poses notable security, privacy, and cost challenges.

AI Tool Helps Identify Dinosaur Footprints

AI Tool Helps Identify Dinosaur Footprints
Researchers from a German research center and a Scottish university have created an artificial‑intelligence system that can analyze dinosaur footprints and suggest the most likely trackmaker. Trained on thousands of real fossils and millions of simulated tracks, the algorithm focuses on eight key foot characteristics and operates without human‑assigned labels. In tests the AI agreed with expert classifications about ninety percent of the time, offering a neutral, mathematical aid for paleontologists. The open‑source tool is available on GitHub and could expand as more scientists contribute data, potentially shedding new light on dinosaur‑bird evolution. Leia mais →

OpenAI Reveals Inner Workings of Its AI Coding Agent

OpenAI Reveals Inner Workings of Its AI Coding Agent
OpenAI and Anthropic have both placed their coding CLI clients on GitHub, letting developers see the code that powers their AI‑assisted programming tools. A recent post by Bolin explains the core "agent loop" that coordinates user input, model responses, and tool calls. The loop repeatedly builds a prompt, sends it to the model, and either returns a final answer or executes a requested tool before querying the model again. The initial prompt is assembled from distinct components—system, developer, user, and assistant—each with a specific role, and includes instructions, tool definitions, sandbox settings, environment context, and the user’s message.
