The 75,000-Agent Raspberry Pi, Mouse Brain Swarms, and France's Kill Switch

▸ • AWS drops Infinity, a runtime so lightweight you can run 75,000 concurrent AI agents on a single Raspberry Pi.

▸ • OpenAI unleashes a swarm of 2,000 agents to map a mouse brain in 32 minutes, proving parallel processing isn't just for GPUs.

▸ • France reportedly asks ISPs to prepare temporary DNS blocks for major social platforms, because nothing says freedom like an internet kill switch.

♾️ AWS Unveils Infinity for Extreme Agent Concurrency

AWS just dropped Infinity, an open-source runtime that treats tool calls as suspension points. It's so lightweight you can cram 75,000 concurrent agents onto a Raspberry Pi 5 without breaking a sweat.

🥞 TanStack AI Hits 1.0

Less than a year after its alpha, TanStack AI 1.0 is here with stable core APIs and a promise of zero vendor lock-in. It now boasts 23 provider adapters, support for eight UI frameworks, and a shiny new experimental agent harness.

🛑 France Prepares the Social Media Kill Switch

In a move that sounds straight out of a cyberpunk dystopia, the French government has reportedly asked ISPs to prepare temporary DNS blocks for major social platforms. Because nothing says 'liberté' like a state-mandated internet blackout.

🛒 Instacart Shops Around for a Buyer

The grocery delivery giant has reportedly been in talks to sell itself to rivals DoorDash and Uber. Apparently, delivering overpriced avocados isn't as lucrative as it used to be.

🐁 OpenAI's 2,000-Agent Swarm Maps a Mouse Brain

Working with Scripps Research, OpenAI unleashed nearly 2,000 AI agents to analyze a massive CRISPR mouse brain dataset. What would have taken human researchers up to a year was completed in just 32 minutes, proving that parallel processing isn't just for GPUs anymore.

♟️ AI Finally Conquers Stratego on a Budget

A new AI system called Ataraxos just achieved superhuman performance in the hidden-information board game Stratego. The kicker? It trained on a fraction of the compute cost of previous attempts, spending less than $8,000 on 16 H100 GPUs.

🐘 The PHP Bugs That Almost Broke the Web

Two critical vulnerabilities in PHP recently threatened to upend the internet, reminding us all that the modern web is essentially held together by duct tape and legacy code. It's a sobering look at the fragility of our digital infrastructure.

🤖 TurboVLA: A Throwback Architecture for Robot Brains

Researchers have developed TurboVLA, a streamlined vision-language-action system that uses separate encoders for vision and text instead of a massive LLM. It matches the performance of larger models while using a fraction of the memory and execution time.

📱 Open-Source Smartphone Agents Catch Up

The OpenMobile-2 project proves that open-source AI agents can rival proprietary models in navigating smartphone apps. By training on a diverse set of over 110 simulated apps, the 27B parameter model achieved the highest score among open models on real Android devices.

🗄️ Google's Data Agent Kit Hits General Availability

Google has officially released its Data Agent Kit, an open-source set of MCP tools that connects coding agents to over 15 Google Data Cloud services. It bridges the gap between writing good SQL and actually understanding your team's database schema.

🐋 BBC Keeps the Flaws to Prove It's Not AI

In a hilarious twist of fate, the upcoming Blue Planet III is intentionally leaving in less-than-perfect shots to prove its authenticity. When AI makes everything look flawless, a little camera shake is the new watermark of reality.
