agentic-stack makes `.agent/` memory portable across tools

agentic-stack packages shared memory, skills, and protocols into a portable `.agent/` folder that can be dropped into different coding harnesses and carry project conventions with it. The repo positions itself as a “one brain, many harnesses” layer for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Hermes, Pi Coding Agent, and a DIY Python loop, with an onboarding wizard that seeds preferences and feature toggles into the project. It is notable less as a new model or framework and more as an interoperability play for preserving context, review rules, and workflow norms across tools.

Qwen3.5-35B-A3B outpaces Claude Opus in local bug hunting

A developer reports that the Qwen3.5-35B-A3B model, running locally on a consumer GPU, successfully identified multiple codebase bugs that Claude 4.7 Opus missed. The model's 256k context window and 180 tps throughput allowed it to ingest large file sets that the frontier model struggled to process effectively.

Claude helps hobbyist build home wetlab, sequence genome

A DIY biohacker with no laboratory experience successfully sequenced their entire genome at home using Claude as a primary consultant. By following AI-generated protocols and using an Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencer, the project achieved 16x coverage for a $10,000 setup cost, validating the results against commercial 23andMe data.

Claude Desktop hits backlash over silent "spyware bridge"

Anthropic's "safety-first" reputation is under fire following reports that Claude Desktop silently installs Native Messaging manifests across multiple Chromium-based browsers without user consent. These files pre-authorize Anthropic's browser extensions to execute code outside the browser sandbox, potentially exposing sensitive DOM data and login sessions to "computer use" agents.

DeepSeek-V3.2 GGUFs "eat" think tags

Users running Unsloth's DeepSeek-V3.2 GGUF models on llama-server report missing opening <think> tags, which breaks reasoning UI features in tools like Open WebUI. The issue is caused by the chat template prepending the tag to the assistant's response within the prompt, effectively omitting it from the generated output stream.
