Still throwing vague prompts at your coding agent and hoping it doesn't torch your project? GitHub just open-sourced Spec Kit, a toolkit that makes the AI create a structured specification before it writes a single line of code. The agent figures out what you want, asks clarifying questions, plans the architecture, generates a task list, then implements. All structured, all inspectable, all before any code exists.
ElevenLabs just shipped Speech Engine, and it’s pretty straightforward: keep your existing chat agent exactly as it is, add Speech Engine on top, and now it talks. You don’t need to rearchitect your LLM stack or swap out your RAG pipeline. It bundles speech-to-text, turn detection, interrupt handling, TTS, and audio orchestration into a single pipeline with ultra-low latency.
Warp just shipped multi-agent orchestration in Oz with support for Claude Code, Codex, and the Warp Agent. Use /orchestrate to delegate complex tasks across a team of agents running locally or in the cloud. If you're already in the Warp terminal, this makes it your control plane for parallel agent work.

AI News:
OpenAI dropped another wave of Codex upgrades — this time improving the agentic assistant with the ability to attach app windows, a new goal mode, locked computer use, and advanced annotation for hands-off website work. Appshots allows Mac users to attach any open app window (its screenshot, text, and content) to a Codex thread with a simple Command-Command press.
$20.8B in Redemption Requests. Percent Was Issuing Deals and Paying on Schedule.
Those requests came from non-traded BDC investors in Q1 2026, and most got back roughly half of what they asked for. Moody's U.S. BDC sector outlook: Negative.
On Percent's marketplace that same quarter: new issuances, scheduled payments, 0.44% lifetime net loss rate on asset-based deals since inception.† The difference is structural: concentrated corporate loans with redemption windows that close at manager discretion vs. asset-based finance with 6–24 month deal terms. 14.6% net ABS returns LTM after losses (3/31/26).† Starting at $500.
Alternative investments are speculative. No assurance can be given that investors will receive a return of their capital. †Past performance is not indicative of future results. Terms apply.
