A post from Simon Willison. Plain version: The real valuable capability MCP offers over skills/CLI is isolating the auth flow outside of the agent’s context window, and potentially out of the harness completely.

Source excerpt

The real valuable capability MCP offers over skills/CLI is isolating the auth flow outside of the agent’s context window, and potentially out of the harness completely. [...] Maybe the idealized form of MCP is just an auth gateway for the API and nothing else. That’d still be a win. — Sean Lynch , comment on Hacker News Tags: model-context-protocol , llms ,…

Show HN: Multiplayer Usage Tracking for Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode

Editor's read

A community-submitted project/thread. Plain version: Summer is a local, open-source tool for AI-coding usage and spend , built by Autumn .

Why you might care

Codex is turning into OpenAI’s agentic workbench. Worth tracking for cloud dev-env patterns, long-running task ergonomics, and places Hermes can stay lighter/local.

Source excerpt

Summer is a local, open-source tool for AI-coding usage and spend , built by Autumn . Per developer, across Claude Code , Codex , and opencode , it answers: how much is each engineer using, on what models, and what's it worth?

From Efficiency to Leakage -- Privacy Backdoor in Federated Language Model Fine-Tuning

Editor's read

A research paper. In human terms: Federated learning (FL) enables multiple parties to collaboratively fine-tune language models for domain-specific tasks without sharing raw data.

Why you might care

Evals are how we avoid vibes-only agent work. Useful if it suggests tests we can adapt for Hermes/OAC reliability.

Source excerpt

Federated learning (FL) enables multiple parties to collaboratively fine-tune language models for domain-specific tasks without sharing raw data. Since full model fine-tuning is often prohibitively expensive for FL clients, parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) has become the de facto approach in practice, freezing the base model and training only a small set of adapters. In this paper, we show that a malicious par…

Benchmark of quantum algorithms for ground state preparation in the presence of noise

Editor's read

A research paper. In human terms: We compare the performance of representative cooling, adiabatic, and optimization algorithms for ground-state preparation in the presence of noise.

Why you might care

Evals are how we avoid vibes-only agent work. Useful if it suggests tests we can adapt for Hermes/OAC reliability.

Source excerpt

We compare the performance of representative cooling, adiabatic, and optimization algorithms for ground-state preparation in the presence of noise. Using an exactly solvable family of quadratic fermionic Hamiltonians subject to depolarizing noise, we derive the scaling of the achievable relative energy as a function of the noise rate and support these results with numerical simulations. The Hamiltonian exhibits two…

MemoryWAM: Efficient World Action Modeling with Persistent Memory

Editor's read

A research paper. In human terms: Robust robotic manipulation in the real world requires not only an understanding of the current observation, but also memory and dynamics modeling.

Why you might care

This maps directly onto OAC: what agents remember, what they should forget, and how not to build a cursed context landfill.

Source excerpt

Robust robotic manipulation in the real world requires not only an understanding of the current observation, but also memory and dynamics modeling. World action models (WAMs) possess these capabilities by jointly modeling visual foresight and actions conditioned on both current and historical observations, making them a promising paradigm for robotic manipulation. However, existing WAMs face a fundamental trade-off:…
