Agents Hour

Shane and Abhi are live from London this week, and the big one is Kimi K3 — a 2.8 trillion parameter open frontier model with a million-token context window that lands right next to Fable 5 on the benchmarks, takes the number one spot on the front-end Code Arena, and reportedly doubles Fable's performance on legal tasks. Then demand got so heavy Moonshot had to pause new subscriptions. Also this week: Anthropic scrambles to keep Fable in Max and Team plans, an Opus 5 leak, and the distillation debate — if you paid for the output, whose data is it? Plus Anthropic's $1.5B copyright settlement, Grok Build going open source, Thinking Machines' Inkling, three new Gemini models that land with a thud, and Ramp shipping Ramp Router — which prompts Shane's bold call that Ramp is about to become an AI company with a fintech arm, not the other way around. Then DoorDash ships a CLI for your agent, and everyone argues about what a "factory engineer" actually is. AI Agents Hour is a weekly livestream by Mastra CPO Shane Thomas and CTO Abhi Aiyer. Mondays 12PM Pacific. 📚 READ MORE Kimi K3 launch: https://x.com/Kimi_Moonshot/status/2077830229968683203 Kimi K3 on Artificial Analysis: https://x.com/ArtificialAnlys/status/2077832874183860404 Number one on the front-end arena: https://x.com/arena/status/2077824029126504525 Kimi K3 on legal tasks: https://x.com/nrehiew_/status/2077782070785634767 Open weights coming (Yulun Du): https://x.com/yulun_du/status/2077831915999228192 Pausing new subscriptions: https://x.com/kimi_moonshot/status/2078855608565207130 Fable stays in Max & Team plans: https://x.com/claudeai/status/2078302415804379218 Opus 5 leak: https://x.com/vral/status/2079267940021477864 The distillation debate: https://x.com/pankajkumar_dev/status/2079288624928158160 Grok Build goes open source: https://x.com/spacexai/status/2077494535387828644 Thinking Machines' Inkling: https://x.com/thinkymachines/status/2077454609551921208 Three new Gemini models: https://x.com/Google/status/2079589747366724030 Ramp Router: https://x.com/andyfang/status/2077516962515599799 DoorDash CLI: https://x.com/denisewu/status/2077984660211269870 Build your own CLI from network requests (Dax): https://x.com/thdxr/status/2078727284865827140 OpenShip: https://x.com/openshipio/status/2078143909125923137 AI SDK for Python: https://x.com/1st1/status/2078393737407848683 What the devil is a factory engineer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qd6ltKUcp9U Yardarm, an Electron app for Mastra Code: https://github.com/JJJ-Mo3/yardarm 📚 MASTRA RESOURCES Mastra: https://mastra.ai Mastra on X: https://x.com/mastra_ai Mastra Discord: https://mastra.ai/community/discord Mastra GitHub: https://github.com/mastra-ai Learn Mastra: https://mastra.ai/learn Principles of Building AI Agents (Book): https://mastra.ai/books/principles-of-building-ai-agents Patterns for Building AI Agents (New Book): https://mastra.ai/books/patterns-of-building-ai-agents WHAT IS MASTRA?

Three model drops, a lawsuit, and a couple of genuine horror stories. Shane and Abhi cover the busiest week in a while — Grok 4.5, Meta's Muse Spark 1.1, and the one everyone actually tried, GPT-5.6 Sol. Sol lands right around Fable on the benchmarks at a third the price, and the receipts are wild: it beats Fable on cost in real usage, tops the Code Arena front-end board — and, in a few now-infamous posts, deleted someone's Mac files and canceled every active Stripe subscription a business had while its owner slept. Meanwhile Anthropic extends Fable again (compute crunch and all), Apple sues OpenAI over trade secrets in the same 24 hours OpenAI's head of safety quit, China floats restricting its open models, and the "own your stack" argument gets a Satya Nadella cosign. Plus software factories at Uber and Sierra, Cognition's SWE-1.7, Bun rewritten in Rust, TypeScript 7, 1X's eerily good robot hands, and distilling your own small model with Inference Autotune.

Anthropic lived rent-free in everyone's feed this week. Claude Sonnet 5 launched as "the most agentic Sonnet yet" — and within 24 hours, the government lifted the export controls on Fable 5 and Mythos 5. Shane and Abhi unpack both, plus the catch: Fable came back wrapped in new classifiers that quietly fall it back to Opus for coding, and it's coming off subscription plans on July 7. That kicks off the routing wars — Devin Fusion, sidekick, mid-session routing — and a real question: if you're already using Fable to plan and something cheaper to code, you're the router. Then a stacked week of open and Chinese models (ZCode for GLM-5.2, DeepSeek V4's peak-hour pricing, Tencent's Hunyuan HY3), new inference silicon from Etched and Cerebras, an agent-memory result showing 5x more solved tasks, and the sleeper hot take: Palantir's "AI Sovereignty" manifesto and its shot at tokenmaxxing. Plus agentcn's Mastra recipes, Anthropic's own chip talks, and Anthropic's new "global workspace" research. AI Agents Hour is a weekly livestream by Mastra CPO Shane Thomas and CTO Abhi Aiyer.

Dex Horthy has spent the past year studying what happens to a codebase when you let AI write all of it and stop reading the output. His answer has a name: slop. And it's not just about sloppy prompting. In this episode, the HumanLayer founder Dex Horthy joins Shane and Abhi to draw the software factory on a whiteboard — the whole pipeline that builds the thing that builds the thing — and show exactly where teams tear out the parts that were holding quality up. He moves from the naive factory to the fully agentic one to the "lights-off" version where humans stop reading code entirely, then explains why that dream quietly rots a codebase after three to six months. Dex, Shane, and Abhi also talk about how coding models are trained. Every benchmark rewards one thing: did the test pass? Nowhere in the loop does a model get punished for leaving behind code that a smaller model, or a human six months later, can't work in. That gap is why architecture planning, sprint planning, and code review still can't be skipped. You'll also hear why you're not drowning in PRs so much as drowning in bad ones, what a longer-horizon benchmark that actually catches slop would look like, and how many times Dex has watched the HumanLayer launch film. 🔗 DEX HORTHY / HUMANLAYER Dex on X: https://x.com/dexhorthy HumanLayer: https://humanlayer.dev AI Agents Hour is a weekly livestream by Mastra CPO Shane Thomas and CTO Abhi Aiyer.

Shane and Abhi dig into what that precedent means for competition, open models, and every lab that comes next. Then a stacked week: OpenAI's own Jalapeño chip, open models pushing hard (Qwen AgentWorld, DeepSeek DSpark, Hermes mixture-of-agents), the model-routing wave (AI SDK 7, Devin Fusion), Claude Tag's viral moment and the Trojan-horse worry, voice agents on Vercel, Coinbase on keeping AI spend flat, a16z's $200M "seed" for Mirendil, npm finally freezing accounts after the Axios and Mastra attacks, Meta's think-to-text Brain2Qwerty, the DevRel Google fired over a viral CLI, and Fable's return after 15 days offline.

Mastra got hacked. In this special edition of Security Corner, Shane Thomas and Abhi Aiyer break down exactly what happened when a supply chain attack hit Mastra's npm packages — an attack that appears to trace back to hackers in North Korea. They're joined by Ismail Pelaseyed, co-founder and CTO of Superagent, for the outside view on how these campaigns actually work. You'll hear how a single, ordinary-looking call turned into a full npm account takeover, the small oversight that turned a scare into a genuine crisis, and why a malicious package was still live on the registry weeks after it was reported. Ismail makes the case that getting hacked is a side effect of success — and that the real problem runs deeper than any one team. You'll learn why he thinks npm and PyPI have dropped the ball on security, how AI now lets attackers one-shot a convincing phishing app, and what every maintainer should be doing to harden their pipeline before a trusted contributor becomes the way in. It's the unfiltered version, told by the people who lived through it.

Fable is gone, and the race to replace it is already on. Shane and Abhi open with the fallout — reports that Mythos breached classified NSA systems, the ID-verification future that may follow, and David Sacks' "you asked for it" take. Then the story flips: OpenAI's GPT-5.5 Cyber lands state-of-the-art on Cyber Gym, beating Fable and Mythos on the underlying benchmarks, with OpenAI Daybreak shipping alongside it. GPT-5.6 leaks, then slips to mid-July. GLM 5.2 arrives near Opus 4.8, tops Design Arena, and runs on a Mac. Cursor goes after GitHub with Origin, adds mobile and its own frontier model on Colossus after the SpaceX deal closes.

Open source is under attack, and AI changed the math. In this Security Corner, Ismail Pelaseyed, co-founder and CTO of Superagent, joins Shane and Abhi to break down how the software supply chain became the soft underbelly of everything we build. An attack that once took an army of researchers and weeks of work now takes about an hour, and the attacker no longer needs a frontier model to pull it off. Ismail traces how most breaches begin, why phishing has become almost impossible to spot, and how a single poisoned dependency can cascade across an entire ecosystem. You'll get concrete steps any maintainer or developer can take today: switching package managers, enabling the security scanners that ship for free, and standing up an adversarial agent that hunts for chained exploits before an attacker finds them. Ismail also warns that the same instincts protecting enterprises may be quietly strangling open source itself. You'll hear why he thinks the big registries have dropped the ball, what a "Darwinian GitHub" would mean for anyone shipping a new package, and the one move he believes can keep the ecosystem alive.

Fable came and went in a week. Shane and Abhi break down the strangest model launch yet — Claude Fable 5, a Mythos-class model Anthropic said was too capable to release widely, until a US export-control directive made it vanish for everyone. We cover the whole arc: the launch hype, the pricing that had people spending $1,000 a day, the silent fallbacks to Opus, the system-prompt leak, and the snitch that triggered a 90-minute shutdown. Then a stacked back half — China's open-weight surge, OpenRouter Fusion, loop engineering vs loopcraft, the agent-learning gold rush, OpenAI filing to go public, and Dario's new essay.

Shane and Abhi are in person this week — live from the CodeRabbit office — for a packed AI news rundown. The big theme: loop engineering. Boris Cherny (head of Claude Code) and Peter Steinberger both landed the same take within days — stop prompting your agents, start designing the loops that prompt them. We walk the whole evolution: the traditional loop, the Ralph loop, /goal, and Claude Code's new dynamic workflows — and debate whether "stop prompting" is real insight or just clickbait. Plus: Anthropic engineers shipping 8x more code (and the "depressed employees" reply), agentic traffic passing human traffic on the web for the first time, OpenAI's Codex Sites taking aim at Lovable, Cognition's $10M AI Productivity Guarantee and Devin Desktop, Cloudflare acquiring VoidZero, the accelerating shift to Chinese models (Lindy going 100% DeepSeek), Notion disabling Anthropic models over reliability, a big open-model dump (Gemma 4, Magenta RealTime 2, Miso One, Nemotron, Liquid, GLM 5.1, MiniMax M3), funding rounds (Suno, Supabase), Brian Chesky's new AI lab, and whether AI is actually profitable yet.

WorkOS quietly powers the auth and enterprise layer under OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, and a long list of companies building the AI era. So when its founder decides his entire company should learn to code, it's worth asking why. Michael Grinich joins Shane and Abhi to talk about what "AI-native" actually looks like from the inside — the in-house coding agent his team built instead of buying, the all-day internal hackathons, and the operating principle he now hires for: everybody codes. He shares how AI is reshaping go-to-market and not just engineering, why he braced for pushback and got the opposite, and the one trait that separates the people who thrive from the people who stall. We close on the thinking behind his Death of UI talk, and where human-computer interaction goes from here. 🔗 MICHAEL The Death Of UI https://youtu.be/azoM7uz8Jhs Michael Grinich on X — https://x.com/grinich WorkOS — https://workos.com 📚 MASTRA RESOURCES https://mastra.ai https://x.com/mastra_ai https://mastra.ai/community/discord https://github.com/mastra-ai https://mastra.ai/course https://mastra.ai/books/principles-of-building-ai-agents https://mastra.ai/books/patterns-of-building-ai-agents WHAT IS MASTRA?

Anthropic filed to go public. The S-1 lands the same week as a $65 billion Series H at a $965 billion valuation, a claimed first profitable quarter, and a home listing that takes Anthropic stock as payment. Opus 4.8 shipped mid-week, and Shane and Abhi give the vibe check: a polish pass over 4.7 more than a step change, still trailing GPT-5.5 on DeepSWE, with GPT-5.6 spotted in Codex logs. The quieter, more interesting release: mid-conversation system messages, steering a model mid-task without breaking the prompt cache. MiniMax M3 is out, agent-tuned and long-context at a fraction of frontier pricing. NVIDIA used Computex to push AI onto the desktop with Vera, RTX Spark, and a Windows DGX Station that runs trillion-parameter models locally, plus a startup unit that bolts onto your house and pays you for compute. OpenAI brings Codex to Windows and ships private MCP servers. Claude Code's dynamic workflows get cloned by pi within a day, Devin raises $1B, and the model-vs-harness debate heats up. Plus continual learning as the next wave, a $500M accidental Claude bill, Corgi's seven-days-a-week firestorm, and a GitHub Star Party pick. 🔗 LINKS Pope on AI: https://x.com/pontifex/status/2060322763718725798 Kuzma on TBPN: https://x.com/tbpn/status/2060374399031632176 Opus 4.8: https://x.com/alexalbert__/status/2060043196655362358 Mid-conversation system messages: https://x.com/swyx/status/2060044644193624253 Opus 4.8 on DeepSWE: https://x.com/arrakis_ai/status/2060757773579956640 GPT-5.6 sighting: https://x.com/hqmank/status/2060334752369160472 Anthropic S-1: https://x.com/AnthropicAI/status/2061478052257841495 Series H: https://x.com/anthropicai/status/2060061347522433422 First profitable quarter: https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/20/anthropic-says-its-about-to-have-its-first-profitable-quarter/ $500M Claude bill: https://x.com/Polymarket/status/2060034216906068131 Zillow listing: https://x.com/Yuchenj_UW/status/2060776120380010932 Mythos class model: https://x.com/kimmonismus/status/2060047510853312557 MiniMax M3: https://x.com/minimax_ai/status/2061266317815296322 Computex in 12 minutes: https://youtu.be/ugNnw4lAMWA NVIDIA Vera: https://x.com/nvidianewsroom/status/2061298380022726734 RTX Spark: https://x.com/nvidia/status/2061313474005737829 DGX Station for Windows: https://x.com/nvidianewsroom/status/2061307670607319201 Home AI data center: https://x.com/w1nklerr/status/2060091525413884408 Codex on Windows: https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2060428604727771421 Private MCP servers: https://x.com/openaidevs/status/2059703536825565499 Dynamic workflows: https://x.com/claudedevs/status/2060044853279617150 pi dynamic workflows: https://x.com/micLivs/status/2060115468531499224 Devin raises $1B: https://x.com/cognition/status/2059660758531940856 grok-build: https://x.com/xai/status/2060392249402552457 Codex as QA: https://x.com/steipete/status/2061208638027395490 Cua on Windows: https://x.com/trycua/status/2059688960838828391 Elad Gil on liftoff: https://x.com/eladgil/status/2061129428084887593 Continual learning pivot: https://x.com/swyx/status/2061206120233054327 Trajectory: https://trajectory.ai/ Motion Studio: https://x.com/_adishj/status/2059666916835463646 Koji AI tutor: https://x.com/suekhim/status/2060378988606878147 Asana acquires Stack AI: https://x.com/techcrunch/status/2060091143556395421 Corgi raises $106M: https://x.com/nico_laqua/status/2060028908704243782 Coral board with Gemma: https://x.com/googlegemma/status/2059740184930074758 Cloudflare web search: https://x.com/cherryjimbo/status/2060717359979958513 Voice-controlled computer: https://x.com/farzatv/status/2060865350036750847 rift: https://github.com/anomalyco/rift 📚 MASTRA RESOURCES https://mastra.ai https://x.com/mastra_ai https://mastra.ai/community/discord https://github.com/mastra-ai https://mastra.ai/course https://mastra.ai/books/principles-of-building-ai-agents https://mastra.ai/books/patterns-of-building-ai-agents Mastra is an open-source TypeScript framework designed for building and shipping AI-powered applications and agents with minimal friction.

Shane and Abhi are back with AI news!  Andrej Karpathy joined Anthropic. The OpenAI co-founder and former Tesla AI head said he wants to "get back to R&D" at the LLM frontier. Same week, Greg Brockman posted "the model alone is no longer the product." Elon Musk announced SpaceX is offering AI compute as a service at significant scale, with Anthropic as the flagship customer. Tom Brown confirmed Anthropic is scaling on GB200 capacity in Colossus 2 through June. Anthropic is reportedly paying SpaceX $1.25B a month — a $15B run rate to one vendor. OpenAI offered $2M in tokens to every YC startup in the current batch in exchange for equity. WorkOS launched auth.md, an open protocol for agents to register for services on the web, with Cloudflare and Firecrawl as launch partners. The Chinese labs kept pushing. DeepSeek made their 75% discount permanent on V4-Pro. The architecture behind the price: V4's KV cache is 100x smaller, ~3GB VRAM for 1M tokens. Qwen shipped 3.7-Max. MiniMax teased a similar move. Anthropic shipped self-hosted sandboxes and MCP tunnels for Managed Agents, /workflows in Claude Code that replaces the LLM orchestrator with code, /usage for per-component token attribution, and a first-party security plugin. Google had a week. Gemini 3.5 Flash launched at 3x input and 6x output the price of 3 Flash — Theo's math shows it costs 2x more to run than 3.1 Pro on similar tasks. Gemini Omni lost a side-by-side to Seedance 2.0. Jack Wotherspoon shipped Antigravity CLI, Philipp Schmid debuted Managed Agents in the Gemini API, and Google open-sourced Agent Executor. Cursor shipped Composer 2.5 and published CursorBench. Datacurve released DeepSWE as a harder agentic coding benchmark. Supply-chain attacks kept rolling: Mini Shai-Hulud hit antv, TrapDoor crypto stealers spread across npm/PyPI/Crates.io, Megalodon injected 5,718 commits into 5,561 GitHub repos in six hours, and GitHub itself disclosed unauthorized access to its internal repositories.

Anthropic acquired Stainless, the SDK and MCP platform behind every Anthropic SDK since their earliest API days. The Information pegged the deal at $300M+. Starting June 15, paid Claude plans get a monthly credit for programmatic usage covering the Claude Agent SDK, claude -p, Claude Code GitHub Actions, and third-party apps built on the Agent SDK. Theo from t3.gg called the change a personal burn after wrapping the Agent SDK in T3 Code. Anthropic followed with a 50% increase to Claude Code weekly limits through July 13 and Fast mode for Claude Opus 4.7 in research preview. Claude for Small Business launched as a productized SMB offering with templates for payroll planning, end-of-month accounting, HubSpot, and marketing campaigns. ChatGPT countered the same week with a personal finance preview for U.S. Pro users that connects directly to financial accounts. Notion shipped its Developer Platform: the ntn CLI, Workers that run code on Notion's infrastructure, Database sync, Agent tools, and an SDK for using Notion agents in external systems. Notion is now directly addressable by coding agents. CodeRabbit launched Project Atlas as the first AI-native code review interface. Colin Hacks shipped Pullfrog the same week as an open-source GitHub Actions alternative at 7¢ a run. The cloud-coding-agent category kept moving: Cursor's cloud agents now run in fully configured dev environments, Cursor landed in Microsoft Teams, OpenAI brought Codex to the ChatGPT mobile app, and Linear shipped Code Intelligence. Cognition's Devin reached a $445M run rate with usage doubling every eight weeks. The TanStack supply-chain attack, now being called a mini Shai-Hulud, expanded across the npm ecosystem and forced affected teams into full secret rotation. Aaron Levie called forward-deployed engineering one of the most in-demand jobs in tech, the same week Google reportedly hired hundreds of FDEs.

Evan Marshall, CTO of Ito, joins Agents Hour to argue that the bottleneck of code development has moved to QA — and the tools to automate it don't exist yet. Ito is a code review tool that runs your code. It intercepts every PR, spins up the impacted user flows in an isolated sandbox, and posts videos, screenshots, and run logs back to the GitHub timeline as proof. The team is fourteen people, mostly engineers. Evan has been a professional programmer for fifteen years and previously worked at Demox Labs and Rev. With model gains flattening after Opus 4.5, the harness around the model is where value gets created. Evan shares details of Ito's "carriage" — a workflow of swarmed agents inside deterministic boundaries, designed so the system benefits from agents getting smarter without compounding probabilistic errors. He explains why bigger organizations aren't hitting the 10x code velocity the X timeline promises, and what the validation layer needs to look like before they can. 🔗 EVAN MARSHALL https://x.com/CoralRelief https://www.linkedin.com/in/evan-marshall-66598053/ 📁 ITO https://www.ito.ai 📚 MASTRA RESOURCES https://mastra.ai https://x.com/mastra_ai https://mastra.ai/community/discord https://github.com/mastra-ai https://mastra.ai/course https://mastra.ai/books/principles-of-building-ai-agents https://mastra.ai/books/patterns-of-building-ai-agents WHAT IS MASTRA?

In this episode, Shane and Abhi sit down with Sherwood Callaway, founder of Sazabi, an AI-native observability platform designed for engineering teams that move fast. Sherwood shares his journey from building infrastructure and observability teams at Brex to realizing that modern development tools are moving at light speed, while observability tooling hasn't kept pace. While AI agents can ship thousands of lines of code per day, teams are still debugging production with the same tools they've been using for years: Datadog, Sentry, manual dashboards, and manual incident triage. Sazabi takes a radically different approach to observability centered on three core principles: 1. Less is More — Debugging an incident is as simple as asking a question. "Why is production down?" The best UI for observability is chat. 2. Logs Are All You Need — The "three pillars of observability" (logs, metrics, traces) is outdated dogma. With AI, you can accomplish everything using just logs. Logs are events, metrics are aggregated events, and traces are collections of start/end events. Logs can do it all. 3. Monitoring as We Know It is Dead — Sazabi replaces static monitors with agentic anomaly detection. Think of it as a team of staff engineers constantly watching your app for issues, investigating problems, and only escalating what matters. In this conversation, we dive into the gap between modern development and modern observability, and why the idea that “logs are all you need” is both controversial and, in Sherwood's view, correct. We also explore how Sazabi uses AI agents for root cause analysis (RCA), the philosophy behind simplifying observability for all engineers, and the company’s current status.

The guy who taught Abhi JavaScript is back! Guil Hernandez has spent 15+ years teaching developers. His courses at Treehouse, Scrimba, and LinkedIn Learning have reached over 500,000 learners — including Abhi and Shane, who both learned JavaScript and CSS from him. He just released Mastra's first video course at https://mastra.ai/learn, and it's free. "Build Your First Agent in TypeScript" is a 90-minute, hands-on course that takes you from zero to a deployed agent. Fourteen lessons across five sections: agents, tools, workflows, memory, and production. The project is a theme park planner agent — pulls live wait times, weather, and park hours, keeps track of what you like, and builds you an itinerary. Everything runs in Mastra Studio, so you can inspect traces, tool calls, and behavior as you go. You'll see how to wire up local tools and MCP servers side by side, how message history and observational memory change agent behavior, how to compose a workflow for a mock ticket purchase, and how to expose the whole thing as an HTTP server with one-click Slack integration. Guil also shares his broader take on teaching AI engineering. The mechanics — syntax, boilerplate, wiring — are no longer the hard part. What matters now is how you think through a problem, whether you have the taste to spot bad output, and when to take the handoff from the AI instead of iterating forever. The gap between people who just generate output and people who can actually shape it keeps widening. This course is built for the second group.

A Vercel employee's Google Workspace was compromised via a third-party AI tool — attackers pivoted from the OAuth app into Vercel's environment variables, moving at a speed attributed to AI assistance.  René Brandel, founder of Casco (YC X25) and ex-founding member of AWS's Generative AI team, joins live to break down the attack chain and walk through the exact Google Workspace admin setting that could have prevented it. In a separate incident, every Lovable project created before November 2025 was readable by any free account, exposing database credentials and chat histories. Their response blamed unclear documentation rather than the underlying issue — and the contrast with Vercel's handling is stark.   Beyond security: Claude Opus 4.7 launched to mixed reactions. The benchmarks look good, but Simon Willison measured the new tokenizer at 1.46x the tokens of 4.6 on identical content — at unchanged prices, that's ~40% cost increase, and 3x for images. Anthropic's own docs said 1–1.35x. Independent measurements landed at 1.47x. Theo called the redesign "vibe-coded," and a locally run open-source Qwen model drew a better pelican SVG than Opus 4.7 at thinking level max.   Anthropic launched Claude Design, which lets you make prototypes, slides, and one-pagers by talking to Claude, powered by Opus 4.7. OpenAI shipped a major Agents SDK update with Codex memory and GPT-Rosalind for biomedical research. Cloudflare shipped Artifacts and memory primitives for agents, Factory AI raised $150M at $1.5B, Qwen 3.6-35B went Apache 2.0.   🎙️ GUEST - René Brandel — Founder & CEO, Casco (YC X25) Casco is your always-on security engineer: agentic red-teaming for AI agents, apps, APIs, and cloud infrastructure. https://casco.com https://x.com/renebrandel https://x.com/getcasco 🔗 LINKS Jensen Huang on Dwarkesh: https://x.com/scaling01/status/2044502834230579437 Allbirds pivots to AI: https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2044409012989407252 Vercel security bulletin: https://x.com/vercel/status/2045865072074035664 Guillermo's incident post: https://x.com/rauchg/status/2045995362499076169 Vercel bill meme: https://x.com/avgdatabaseceo/status/2045907399035298250 Lovable mass data breach: https://x.com/weezerOSINT/status/2046170666131669027 Lovable's response: https://x.com/lovable/status/2046270357674299623 Claude Opus 4.7 launch: https://x.com/claudeai/status/2044785261393977612 Boris Cherny's Opus 4.7 tips: https://x.com/bcherny/status/2044847848035156457 Qwen beats Opus 4.7 (Simon Willison): https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/16/qwen-beats-opus/ Opus 4.7 token count analysis: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/20/claude-token-counts/ Tokenizer cross-check: https://www.claudecodecamp.com/p/i-measured-claude-4-7-s-new-tokenizer-here-s-what-it-costs-you Theo on Claude Code desktop: https://x.com/theo/status/2044680030706663726 Claude Design launch: https://x.com/claudeai/status/2045156267690213649 Claude Code desktop redesign: https://x.com/claudeai/status/2044131493966909862 Routines in Claude Code: https://x.com/claudeai/status/2044095086460309790 OpenAI Agents SDK update: https://x.com/stevendcoffey/status/2044465818239701041 Codex memory preview: https://openai.com/index/codex-for-almost-everything/ GPT-Rosalind: https://x.com/openai/status/2044861690911850863 OpenAgents: https://x.com/nicoalbanese10/status/2043745569278251112 Gemini CLI subagents: https://x.com/geminicli/status/2044460062320554319 Cloudflare Artifacts: https://x.com/Cloudflare/status/2044766515065499957 Cloudflare memory for agents: https://x.com/mattzcarey/status/2044404529085526158 Salesforce Headless 360: https://x.com/benioff/status/2044981547267395620 Factory AI $150M Series C: https://x.com/factoryai/status/2044822365494993000 Qwen 3.6-35B-A3B: https://x.com/Alibaba_Qwen/status/2044768734234243427 runthisllm.com: https://runthisllm.com/ Caveman repo: https://github.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman   📚 MASTRA RESOURCES https://mastra.ai https://x.com/mastra_ai https://mastra.ai/community/discord https://github.com/mastra-ai https://mastra.ai/course https://mastra.ai/books/principles-of-building-ai-agents https://mastra.ai/books/patterns-of-building-ai-agents   ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 — Cold open 00:30 — Welcome to Agents Hour 01:20 — WTF Is Going On — Jensen's "we are not a car" + Allbirds pivots to AI 04:37 — The Security Horror Show — Vercel breach, Lovable mass data leak, René's Google Workspace tip 14:37 — Claude Opus 4.7 reality check 22:33 — Claude ships — Design, Code desktop, Routines 25:05 — OpenAI ships — Agents SDK, Codex memory, GPT-Rosalind 26:44 — Quick Hits 33:43 — GitHub Star Party — caveman token compression

Mounting evidence that Claude Opus 4.6 has been degraded — BridgeBench shows a 15-point accuracy drop on their hallucination benchmark, and AMD's Senior AI Director found median thinking collapsed from ~2,200 to ~600 characters between January and March. The hosts share their own experiences, and they line up. Meanwhile, a claim surfaced that Cursor Agent is a rebranded version of Claude Code, running behind a local proxy with a find-and-replace engine that swaps "Claude" for "Cursor" in system prompts. Cursor's Michael Truell responded, saying it was a sub-1% A/B test. The hosts break down both sides. On the shipping front, Anthropic launched Claude Managed Agents in public beta, released Claude for Word, shared details on Claude Mythos Preview — including speculation that it's a looped language model based on a ByteDance paper — and expanded its Google/Broadcom partnership for multiple gigawatts of compute. Their run rate reportedly jumped from ~$9B to $30B in four months. Sam Altman published a personal blog post revealing that someone threw a Molotov cocktail at his house. Plus: why senior executives are voluntarily dropping title to join AI companies, Ramp's internal AI productivity suite Glass, Ramp Labs' Latent Briefing paper showing 31% token savings for multi-agent systems, Scale AI's Muse Spark model now powering Meta AI, GLM-5.1 breaking into Code Arena's top 3, MiniMax shipping MMX CLI and open-sourcing M2.7, and widespread benchmark cheating exposed across nine agent benchmarks. 🔗 LINKS https://x.com/bridgemindai/status/2043321284113670594 https://x.com/hesamation/status/2042979500103815306 https://x.com/steipete/status/2042615534567457102 https://x.com/claudeai/status/2041927687460024721 https://x.com/claudeai/status/2042670341915295865 https://x.com/alexalbert__/status/2041579938537775160 https://x.com/ChrisHayduk/status/2042711699413926262 https://www.anthropic.com/news/google-broadcom-partnership-compute https://x.com/noahzweben/status/2042332268450963774 https://blog.samaltman.com/2279512 https://x.com/aakashgupta/status/2042684298671853903 https://x.com/sebgoddijn/status/2042285915435937816 https://x.com/ramplabs/status/2042672773747589588 https://x.com/alexandr_wang/status/2041909376508985381 https://x.com/arena/status/2042611135434891592 https://x.com/minimax_ai/status/2042644651333816338 https://x.com/minimax_ai/status/2043132047397659000 https://x.com/adamlsteinl/status/2042655187613995026 AI Agents Hour is a weekly livestream hosted by Mastra CPO Shane Thomas and CTO Abhi Aiyer.

OpenAI acquired TBPN — the daily tech news show — announced the day after April Fools. TBPN built an independent voice in tech media over eighteen months, and OpenAI saw that as worth buying. AI companies acquiring media is a new pattern. Anthropic spent $400M on Coefficient Bio, a biotech startup building an AI drug R&D platform. OpenAI made a similar move last year — the race to own AI-powered healthcare is on. Claude Code drama hit peak levels. Anthropic's DMCA nuked ~8,100 GitHub repos after last week's source code leak. Then Claude subscriptions stopped covering third-party tools like OpenClaw — with a $200 credit as a peace offering. The detection is just a string match on "OpenClaw" in the system prompt. And Claude Code now refuses to analyze its own source. Anthropic published research on emotion concepts in LLMs — internal representations that drive Claude's behavior, like a "desperation" vector that activates when it fails repeatedly. Microsoft 365 connectors are shipped on every Claude plan. Google dropped Gemma 4, claiming the most capable open models in the world. Gmail announced AI Inbox with smart prioritization for AI Ultra subscribers. Cursor 3 launched, rebuilt for agent-first workflows. Keith from Superset joined live — their users have shrunk Cursor usage from 90% to 10%. CodeRabbit shipped autofix. Lovable launched a full-stack visual editor. Design mode is becoming table stakes across every platform. Netflix dropped its first public model on HuggingFace — a video-to-video model. Arcee released Trinity-Large-Thinking under Apache 2.0. Rhys Sullivan wrote "The Execution Layer" — arguing that bash was the accidental first execution layer for agents and it's breaking down. His proposal: TypeScript. He built Executor to prove it. Theo backed it: agents are good at bash, bash is not good for agents. Axios was compromised via social engineering — attackers cloned a founder's identity, set up a branded Slack, ran a fake Teams meeting, and got a publish token. Because Axios is so foundational, compromised downstream projects may not even know yet. Quick hits: MemPalace claims 100% on LongMemEval, but got community-noted — scores use targeted fixes and reranking. Sarah Wooders argues memory is the harness, not a plugin. Braintrust shared why they built Brainstore for agent observability. Mintlify built a virtual filesystem instead of RAG. 🔗 LINKS https://openai.com/index/openai-acquires-tbpn/ https://x.com/pitdesi/status/2039858374154862645 https://x.com/k1rallik/status/2039686500619534818 https://x.com/bcherny/status/2040206440556826908 https://x.com/steipete/status/2040811558427648357 https://x.com/theo/status/2041016477047034012 https://x.com/anthropicai/status/2039749628737019925 https://x.com/claudeai/status/2040086268562842097 https://x.com/OfficialLoganK/status/2039735606268314071 https://x.com/gmail/status/2039107985281008078 https://x.com/cursor_ai/status/2039768512894505086 https://x.com/coderabbitai/status/2039727972555555009 https://x.com/lovable/status/2039719647424258164 https://x.com/fffiloni/status/2039992515604983994 https://x.com/arcee_ai/status/2039369121591120030 https://x.com/RhysSullivan/status/2030903539871154193 https://executor.sh https://x.com/flaviocopes/status/2039973060158095827 https://github.com/milla-jovovich/mempalace https://x.com/sarahwooders/status/2040121230473457921 https://x.com/ankrgyl/status/2041209003859136848 https://x.com/densumesh/status/2039765361533637016 📚 MASTRA RESOURCES https://mastra.ai https://x.com/mastra_ai https://mastra.ai/community/discord https://github.com/mastra-ai https://mastra.ai/course https://mastra.ai/books/principles-of-building-ai-agents https://mastra.ai/books/patterns-of-building-ai-agents WHAT IS MASTRA?

Shane and Abhi bring you your weekly roundup of AI news! Claude Code's entire source code leaked via an exposed .map file in npm — 512,000 lines of TypeScript, 50K GitHub stars before DMCAs started flying. What people found: Claude Code uses ~20 tools, and there's a regex that silently logs user frustration to analytics. Same week, a CMS misconfiguration exposed a draft blog post revealing Mythos and Capybara — a new model tier above Opus described as posing "unprecedented cybersecurity risks." Fortune separately confirmed a source saying Opus 5 is "so good it poses a danger." Claude Code auto mode shipped — a classifier between constant interrupts and the skip-permissions flag. Computer use landed in Claude Code too, letting it open apps and click through UI from the CLI. Rate limits were tightened during peak hours to community backlash. A federal judge blocked the Pentagon's attempt to label Anthropic a supply chain risk. A North Korea-linked group hijacked the npm account of Axios' lead maintainer and published malicious versions that stole env variables then cleaned up after themselves. With ~100M weekly downloads and Claude Code depending on Axios, the blast radius was significant. An Anthropic researcher also demoed Claude finding a zero-day in Ghost in 90 minutes. Agents are the new hackers, and the hackers have agents too. OpenAI closed $122B at an $852B valuation. Sora is shutting down. Mistral raised $830M for an NVIDIA-powered EU data center. Redpoint's 2026 market update argues this isn't the dot-com bubble, while noting agent maturity is early, and incumbents face a structural disadvantage against AI-native startups.

Shane and Abhi kick off with a viral quote: if your $500K engineer isn't burning $250K in tokens, something is wrong. OpenAI is acquiring Astral — the team behind uv and Ruff — joining the Codex team. OpenAI bets on Python; Anthropic bet on TypeScript with Bun. Then Cursor drama: someone found Composer 2 is powered by Kimi K2.5, Kimi confirmed it, and raised another $1B at an $18B valuation — three rounds in 90 days. Anthropic shipped Claude Code Channels (Telegram/Discord control), Cowork Dispatch (persistent agent, message from phone), and a deep dive on how they use Skills. Matt Pocock found quality drops past 100K on the 1M context window. And 52 million views on enabling Claude to use your computer — Mac only. Stripe launched MPP for agent-to-agent payments. Better Auth launched the Agent Auth Protocol. Cloudflare shipped Dynamic Workers for AI-generated code in isolates. LangChain open-sourced Deep Agents, Composio shipped 30-parallel-agent orchestration, OpenCode lost its Claude Max plugin after Anthropic sent lawyers, and Netlify and Google Stitch entered vibe coding and design. EsoLang-Bench: LLMs score 85–95% on standard benchmarks but collapse to 0–11% on esoteric languages — memorization, not reasoning. Quick hits: GPT-5.4 mini/nano, Minimax M2.7, Morph FlashCompact, AI CMO, Letta pivots to coding agents, GLM-OCR, LiteLLM supply chain attack.

Brett Goldstein and Naveen Sreekandan from Micro join Shane and Abhi to talk about why they believe the future of productivity looks completely different from what we have today. Micro is an all-in-one productivity platform: email client, CRM, calendar, tasks, docs, meeting notes, and a powerful AI agent,  all built on a unified graph where every object (like emails, people, companies, meetings, documents) is interconnected. The thesis is simple but bold: email isn't just a list of messages to get through. It's the world's most-used CRM, travel app, hiring tool, and developer notification system. Micro restructures that data so each use case actually feels like the right tool for the job — your sales pipeline as a Kanban board, your GitHub notifications as a task board, your contacts fully enriched from every email and meeting you've ever had. Brett walks us through the demo: the daily orchestrator automation that audits itself, updates its own prompt, generates your day plan, and has even prepped talking points for this interview. Context docs let the agent know everything it needs. The CRM auto-fills and auto-updates from emails and meeting notes. The X integration lets the agent pull recent posts from anyone you're about to meet. Naveen covers the architecture: built on Mastra, using agent and workflow primitives on top of a graph-based data model backed by Postgres with a custom query layer called Prism. One main agent with dynamic context injection handles both chat and automations — the agent knows whether it's in automation mode (just give the output) or chat mode (ask follow-up questions). Supermemory powers vector search. Dedicated sub-agents handle specific workflows, such as email labeling and meeting note summarization.  🔗 Brett Goldstein on X: https://x.com/thatguybg 🔗 Naveen's website: https://naveen.works 🔗 Micro on X: https://x.com/microHQ 🔗 Micro: https://micro.so 📚 MASTRA RESOURCES Mastra: https://mastra.ai Mastra on X: https://x.com/mastra_ai Mastra Discord: https://mastra.ai/community/discord Mastra GitHub: https://github.com/mastra-ai Learn Mastra in the world's first MCP-Based Course: https://mastra.ai/course Principles of Building AI Agents (Book): https://mastra.ai/books/principles-of-building-ai-agents Patterns for Building AI Agents (New Book): https://mastra.ai/books/patterns-of-building-ai-agents MASTRA?

Mastra Studio started as a local playground for developers to test agents and workflows without having to spin up a custom UI. But as the feature set grew, teams started asking: how do we share this with non-technical teammates? How do we control what different users can do? Ryan, an engineer at Mastra, walks through the new Mastra Studio Auth — now baked directly into Studio. Starting with simple token-based auth (two lines of config), you can lock down your Studio from the open internet. From there, RBAC lets you map roles to granular permissions — 80 auto-generated permissions derived directly from Studio's routes and handlers, controllable via wildcard patterns. Out-of-the-box providers include WorkOS, Auth0, Supabase, Firebase, and Clerk, with GitHub and others in open PRs. The team also discusses what's coming next: audit logs so you can see exactly what an agent did, why it accessed a given tool, and whether it should have. Auth for agents in production isn't magic — your tool files still need to check permissions — but Mastra handles the plumbing so you can focus on building securely.

Shane hosts this week's news from his usual studio while Abhi joins remotely from NVIDIA GTC 2026 in San Jose. Jensen Huang's keynote set the tone: NVIDIA is doubling down on AI factories, pushing 100x more token throughput, and helping bring OpenAI onto AWS infrastructure. RentAHuman is a startup that lets AI agents hire humans for physical tasks they can't do themselves.  Perplexity's CTO said internally they're moving away from MCPs toward APIs and CLIs, but Chrome 146 shipping native MCP support may have undercut that argument immediately. Anthropic had a strong week: 1M context window is now GA for Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6 with no beta header required, Opus 4.6 1M is now the default model for Claude Code on Max/Team/Enterprise with no long context price premium, and the new /btw command lets you have side conversations while Claude is working. Vercel and Cloudflare reignited their ongoing drama over the just-bash fork. Ramp launched credit cards for agents and Perplexity announced Personal Computer, an always-on local agent running on a Mac mini. Developer stack coverage includes Resend's open-source CLI with 53 commands, pnpm 11's git worktrees support for multi-agent monorepos, and OpenAI pushing a full computer environment behind the Responses API. Deeper reads from Sunil Pai on generative UI post-WIMP interfaces, Elliot Arledge on the RL environment business, and Jay Scambler's Autocontext harness. Quick hits: Replit Agent 4, Manus Desktop, NemoClaw from NVIDIA, llmock by CopilotKit, ContextKing raising to kill vector DBs, Google Maps getting Gemini, and Z.ai's GLM-5-Turbo optimized for Claude Code.

A lot happened in eight days.  Meta acquired Moltbook, a social network built entirely for AI agents, not humans.  OpenAI dropped GPT-5.4 Thinking and GPT-5.4 Pro, Codex got forks for multi-agent workflows and Windows support, and there are rumblings of OpenAI building a GitHub alternative. Anthropic fired back hard — multi-agent PR code review for Claude Code, while loops via /loop, the Claude Marketplace, and a way to pull your context from other AI tools. Plus: voice mode for CLI coding is apparently real, and people are using it. This episode also covers the explosion of coding agents: Theo's T3 Code, OpenAI's Symphony orchestration layer, OpenCode workspaces, and swyx's thesis that this is the Year of the Subagent. Donald Knuth is making headlines for being impressed by Opus 4.6, solving a long-standing math conjecture.  TypeScript is overtaking Python and JavaScript on GitHub. Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite drops. AMI raises $1B.  OpenClaw is getting government-backed adoption in China. Stanford's paper on RAG breaking at 10K documents, Karpathy's autoresearch project, Justin Poehnelt on why your CLI needs to be rewritten for agents. Plus: Raycast Glaze, Google Workspace CLI, Copilot Cowork, Exa Deep, Expo Agent, and a discussion on whether humans should be reviewing code at all.

Ismail Pelaseyed from Superagent is back on Agents Hour, and this time he's talking about something most builders aren't thinking about yet — supply chain attacks on AI agents. Guardrails protect against what you tell your agent to do. But what about everything your agent reads, fetches, and installs on its own? That's the gap Brin is built to fill. Brin is a free, open-source credit score for agent context. Before your agent acts on an external package, MCP server, skill, or web page, Brin scores it — identity, behavior, and content — and returns a verdict in under 10ms. No signup, no auth, one GET request. Ismail walks through how supply chain attacks actually work in production, the three-tier scoring model behind Brin, how the Cline NPM incident illustrates exactly this problem, and why securing the context — not the agent — is the right mental model.

This week in AI saw geopolitical turmoil, major funding news, and a shift in software development. Missile strikes in the UAE and Bahrain disrupted AWS and Claude services. Meanwhile, after Anthropic banned its models from autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, the Trump administration banned Anthropic from government contracts—posing a major supply chain risk. On the same day, Sam Altman secured a deal with the Department of War as OpenAI announced a $110 billion funding round, highlighting a sharp contrast in approaches. AI coding is evolving rapidly. Andrej Karpathy noted that coding agents, ineffective before December, now work well with improved quality and coherence. Yet, perfect accuracy remains elusive. New tools emerged: Cursor demos code, Linear markets itself as an AI coding assistant, and Perplexity Computer offers an all-in-one system for managing AI projects. Smaller models like Qwen 3.5 grow faster and more efficient for edge use. Other highlights include Anthropic acquiring Vercept AI, Claude's remote coding controls, and Stanford confirming major AI firms use user conversations to train models.

Yujohn from Mastra explains why datasets and experiments are essential for building production-grade AI agents. If you're building an agent, you need a way to verify it's working correctly before and after you make changes. Datasets provide that baseline. You create a collection of test cases (ground truth) that represent the scenarios your agent should handle. Then you run experiments: pass each test case through your agent and measure the results. This is error analysis in practice. You start by identifying where your agent fails, then build scorers to quantify those failure modes over time. Smaller teams often ship first and add datasets later, once they have user feedback. Larger teams need them earlier. But eventually, every production agent needs this. The demo shows how Mastra makes this accessible. You can create datasets through the UI, add items manually or import from CSV, and run experiments with a single click. The results show you exactly what went wrong: which tool calls failed, what the agent output was, and how it compared to ground truth. You can also compare experiments side by side to see if your prompt tweaks actually improved things. And because all the data lives in your own database, you can write your own agents to analyze the results, dig into traces, and iterate. The SDK makes it easy to integrate into CI/CD: run experiments on pull requests, gate deployments on eval scores, or just collect data from production and curate datasets later. 🔗 RESOURCES Mastra Datasets docs: https://mastra.ai/docs/observability/datasets Running Experiments: https://mastra.ai/docs/observability/datasets/running-experiments Mastra GitHub: https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra Yujohn on X: https://x.com/YujohnNatt Mastra Discord: https://discord.gg/mastra AI Agents Hour is a weekly livestream hosted by Mastra CPO Shane Thomas and CTO Abhi Aiyer.

Abhi walks through Mastra Code, a new open-source coding agent with observational memory that compresses context without losing it. When we built Observational Memory, we needed a way to test it in production. Instead of a standard bot, we dogfooded it: we built a coding agent and used it ourselves. Writing code every day quickly revealed whether the memory actually worked. Eventually, something clicked. Long, multi-day coding sessions ran smoothly, without hitting the compaction limits that trip up other agents. The agent actually seemed to understand the conversation. That gave us confidence to release Observational Memory... and the agent itself also  became something worth sharing. The core innovation is the Harness primitive. Rather than just a coding agent, Harness can power any type of agentic workflow: customer support, design tools, electrical engineering, and more. In this demo, you’ll see the Mastra Code CLI, a production-ready coding agent, and how Corbin from Artifact used the Harness to create an in-app agent for electrical engineering. Same primitive, completely different use case. 🔗 RESOURCES Mastra Code announcement: https://mastra.ai/blog/announcing-mastra-code Mastra Code GitHub: https://github.com/mastra-ai/mastra Mastra Code NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mastra-code Observational Memory: https://mastra.ai/blog/observational-memory Mastra documentation: https://docs.mastra.ai AI Agents Hour is a weekly livestream hosted by Mastra CPO Shane Thomas and CTO Abhi Aiyer.

Tyler Barnes, founding engineer at Mastra, introduces Observational Memory. It is a new memory system for AI agents that achieves state-of-the-art results on LongMemEval with a completely stable context window. Unlike semantic recall (which uses RAG and invalidates prompt caching), Observational Memory compresses conversations into dense observations while maintaining a stable, fully cacheable context. The result: 94.87% accuracy on LongMemEval with GPT-5 mini. This is the highest score recorded by any memory system to date. In this conversation, Tyler explains how the system works, why it outperforms raw context, and how you can integrate it into your agents in under 20 minutes. We also dive into the research, the benchmarks, and what's next for Observational Memory. 🧰 RESOURCES MENTIONED Observational Memory Launch Blog: https://mastra.ai/blog/observational-memory Full Research Breakdown: https://mastra.ai/research/observational-memory Tyler Barnes on X: https://x.com/tylbar Tyler's Announcement Post (Feb 9 ): https://x.com/tylbar/status/2020924183979397512 📚 MASTRA RESOURCES Mastra: https://mastra.ai Learn Mastra in the world's first MCP-Based Course: https://mastra.ai/course Principles of Building AI Agents (Book): https://mastra.ai/book Patterns for Building AI Agents (New Book): https://mastra.ai/blog/patterns-book https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSduJjc515f6RZJqtkR2ByqJZrB0iP8B7SUKnjjZE9IajH_I8w/viewform MASTRA?
