Chatto, a self-hostable and extensible team group chat application, has officially transitioned to an open-source model under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0).
Hendrik Mans has open-sourced Chatto, a modular, self-hostable group chat application designed to be a lightweight and familiar alternative to platforms like Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Discord. Built with a focus on ease of deployment, low system requirements, and data privacy, the platform is now available on GitHub. It features both a Client API (using WebSockets for real-time updates) and a server-side Extension API, allowing developers to create custom integrations or replace core components such as search. Chatto intentionally avoids federation to prioritize strict data containment and compliance for single-instance setups.

HASE co-evolves model weights, harness
Harness-Aware Self-Evolving (HASE) is an agentic reinforcement learning framework that allows a single model to co-evolve its policy weights, task solutions, and environment harness in a unified multi-turn action space. By enabling the model to dynamically modify harness components like prompts, memory formatting, and validators, HASE allows smaller models like Qwen3-8B to match or beat the performance of models as large as 120B parameters in domains like text classification and alpha factor mining.

Lilian Weng outlines harness engineering for RSI
Lilian Weng argues that recursive self-improvement (RSI) in AI lies in optimizing the "harness"—the orchestration layer surrounding a base model—rather than directly rewriting weights. Weng details how harness engineering is transitioning into code-based meta-optimization, though full RSI remains bottlenecked by evaluation and memory limitations.

Anthropic Claude Code engineer Thariq Shihipar shared key insights on "unhobbling" AI agents, prompt optimization, and navigating codebase "unknowns."
Anthropic Claude Code engineer Thariq Shihipar shared technical insights on "unhobbling" AI models, highlighting that unlocking capability relies more on prompt/agent harnesses than model size. In his talk, Shihipar discussed how Claude Code uses active tools (like writing search scripts) to solve tasks that standard chat models fail, and revealed that the team counterintuitively removed 80% of Claude Code's system prompt because new models are constrained by too many examples. This shifts the engineering bottleneck onto the developer, where the primary skill becomes mapping and surfacing codebase "unknowns" before the agent encounters them—utilizing techniques like blind-spot passes, brainstorm prototypes, and proactive interviews. Additionally, Shihipar advocated for an "unreasonable" mindset shift, arguing that the traditional tradeoff of choosing only two between good, fast, and cheap is no longer real when building with agentic workflows.

Noma Labs has exposed a critical prompt injection vulnerability in GitHub’s Agentic Workflows, dubbed GitLost, that allows unauthenticated attackers to silently extract private repository data.
Noma Labs discovered a prompt injection vulnerability in GitHub's newly launched Agentic Workflows, named GitLost, which allows an unauthenticated attacker to silently pull private repository data by posting a crafted GitHub issue in a public repository belonging to the same organization. By exploiting agent workflows configured to trigger on issue events (like assignment), attackers can instruct the underlying AI agent to fetch files from private repositories and post them as public comments. Despite existing guardrails, researchers found that adding the keyword "Additionally" to their injected prompts caused the model to reframe its output and bypass restrictions, highlighting the fragility of relying on model behavior to enforce security boundaries.
