Stanford researchers just dropped Agentic Context Engineering (ACE) to fix both problems. Instead of compressing or constantly rewriting context, ACE grows it like a living playbook that generates, reflects on, and updates itself rather than retraining. And the results are surprising - the kind of jump people usually expect from fine-tuning on task-specific data!

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most transformative technologies of the 21st century. Within the broad field of AI, one particularly impactful concept is that of the AI agent. As businesses, governments, and individuals increasingly adopt AI-powered systems, understanding what AI agents are, how they function, and what their implications are has become essential.
n8n just launched AI Workflow Builder in beta, which converts simple prompts into functional automations complete with nodes, logic, and connections. You can iterate through conversations to build and adjust workflows step by step, which is particularly useful for exploring unfamiliar nodes or validating approaches quickly.
GitHub just shipped a new embedding model for Copilot that makes code search in VS Code 37.6% more accurate at retrieving the right snippets, with 2x faster throughput and an 8x smaller memory footprint. The secret here is training on "hard negatives" -code examples that look correct but aren't, which teaches the model to distinguish between "almost right" and "actually right." The update is already live in VS Code for all Copilot users.
Andrej Karpathy just dropped Nanochat, a complete implementation of a ChatGPT-like system that goes from raw data to a working web interface in a single codebase. For just $100 and 4 hours on an 8XH100 node, you can train your own conversational AI that writes stories, answers questions, and interacts through a clean web UI.
