Scaling Managed Agents: Decoupling the brain from the hands - This article describes an approach to scale managed agents by separating decision-making (the 'brain') from execution (the 'hands'), enabling better scalability and modularity of agentic systems. It outlines architectural patterns for building managed-agent platforms.

Google just casually disrupted the open-source AI narrative…
Fireship
Google’s Gemma 4 is a 31 billion-parameter, Apache 2.0-licensed open-source LLM that runs locally in 20 GB on an RTX 4090 by using TurboQuant and per-layer embeddings for compression.
- Gemma 4 big model (31 B parameters) downloads in 20 GB and delivers ~10 tokens/sec on a single RTX 4090, while its Edge variant can run on a phone or Raspberry Pi.
- TurboQuant compresses model weights by converting Cartesian data to polar coordinates and applying the Johnson–Lindenstrauss transform to quantize values to single sign bits while preserving distances.
- Models named E2B and E4B use “effective parameters” via per-layer embeddings, giving each transformer layer its own token embedding to introduce information exactly when needed.

I built a custom Slack inbox. It was easier than you think. | Yash Tekriwal (Clay)
How I AI Podcast
Yash Tekriwal used OpenClaw in Discord and Perplexity Computer to transform 100–150 daily Slack notifications into a prioritized Kanban-style dashboard with three colored columns and an “archive all” button that clears FYIs in both the UI and Slack.
- Processes ~100–150 daily Slack mentions by querying Slack’s API for unread streams, grouping into four buckets (DMs, group mentions, threads, app mentions) and three priority levels (“action required,” “need to read,” “FYI”), reducing actionable items to ~30–40.
- Perplexity Computer orchestrates tasks in parallel—using Sonnet 4.6 for digest fetching, Gemini for planning and Python coding, and Opus for intensive reasoning—and deploys the UI via native connectors to Slack, Gmail, Notion, Asana, Zoom, and others.
- The green “FYI” column includes a single “archive all” button that simultaneously archives messages in the Perplexity Computer dashboard and marks them read in Slack, automating bulk notification management.

Claude Mythos: Highlights from 244-page Release
AI Explained
The video highlights that Anthropic’s Claude Mythos preview outperforms Opus 4.6 by 25% on the SWEBench Pro coding benchmark, achieves 93% UI element detection accuracy using Python tools, and uncovers zero-day exploits like a 27-year-old OpenBSD crash bug.
- Claude Mythos preview beats Opus 4.6 by 25% on the SWEBench Pro software engineering benchmark.
- Nicholas Carini used Mythos to find a 27-year-old OpenBSD crash bug and Linux user-to-administrator privilege escalation vulnerabilities with no user permissions.
- Claude Mythos preview scored almost 93% at identifying UI elements occupying less than 0.1% of the screen area in high-resolution professional desktop application screenshots using adaptive thinking, maximum effort, and Python tools, 10% above Opus 4.6.
