Codex adds Dev Mode with CDP access

Codex has released a new update featuring "Dev Mode," giving the AI agent full Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) access alongside faster browser execution. This integration allows the agent to perform advanced tasks such as inspecting DOM elements, capturing screenshots, and monitoring console logs and network traffic directly, enabling more autonomous web-based debugging and development workflows.

// ANALYSIS

Giving AI agents native CDP access is a game-changer for autonomous browser use, turning them from simple visual scrape-and-click tools into actual interactive developers.

* Native debugging: Agents can now read console logs and monitor network failures to verify their code works in real time.

* Robust browser interaction: Moving from visual coordinates to CDP commands makes the agent's web interactions much faster and less brittle.

* High security stakes: Granting full CDP access increases the attack surface, requiring developers to carefully sandbox agent environments.

AirLLM runs 70B models on 4GB VRAM

AirLLM is an open-source Python library designed to perform memory-efficient inference of massive Large Language Models on consumer-grade hardware with limited VRAM. By utilizing layer-by-layer sequential execution directly from disk, AirLLM drastically reduces memory overhead, allowing models as large as 70B parameters to run on a single 4GB GPU without relying on quantization, pruning, or distillation.
