DeepSeek’s Search and Fetch APIs give agents a direct way to find live web pages and retrieve clean Markdown for RAG workflows. This guide walks through the request flow, Python integration, billing rules, rate limits, and the practical safeguards that make web retrieval reliable.
Sphinx adds an open-book comprehension check to AI-assisted development. Before a protected Git push continues, a separate reviewer model asks about the change’s behavior, failure modes, and retries—helping developers understand code they did not write line by line.
OpenCode 2.0 reorganizes the coding-agent experience around one local service shared by terminal, web, desktop, scripts, and remote clients. Its new API, Code Mode, background tasks, plugin model, and embeddable SDK make multi-step automation feel more like a programmable workspace than a chat window.
Codex CLI’s background daemon changes the lifetime, version, and environment of a normal terminal session. This guide explains the app-server design, why package-manager installs can stumble, and how to return to predictable local execution.
AI agents can automate impressive tasks, but they still need a safe way to hand control back to a person. This article explains how a small macOS Swift CLI uses click-through overlays, accessibility targets, careful focus handling, and automatic cleanup to point without clicking.
DeepSeek Harness is an open-source agent workspace from DeepSeek AI. This guide explains its plugin architecture, local setup, headless mode, model connections, and the safety habits that matter while the project remains in preview.
Pi 1.0 keeps its AI coding agent small while adding codemode, deferred tools, virtual model routing, cache warming, and transcript-aware changes. The experimental Pi Durable package extends the same ideas to long-running agentic applications.
Pi’s shift from rejecting MCP to building it in reflects a deeper design change: let MCP standardize tool access while codemode handles discovery, composition, and filtering. The result keeps large tool catalogs and noisy intermediate data away from the model’s context.
Whiteboard is an open-source desktop canvas for reviewing software with coding agents. It connects diagrams, semantic diffs, source code, and agent decisions so humans can understand a change before trusting it.
Claude Code’s local AGENTS.md loader can disappear when telemetry or feature-flag fetching is disabled. This guide explains the hidden dependency, a canary test, and the portable @AGENTS.md workaround.
