Parax adds parameter-first modeling to Equinox

Parax is an open-source Python library that extends Equinox with a parameter-centric modeling layer for JAX. It adds parax.Parameter and parax.Module to attach metadata like fixed or free state, priors, bounds, scaling, and custom annotations while keeping Equinox-style immutability.

// ANALYSIS

Strong utility for JAX users who keep running into tree-manipulation friction and want a more object-oriented way to manage model parameters.

–Best fit is scientific and probabilistic modeling, where parameter metadata and hierarchy traversal matter.
–The library’s value proposition is reducing boilerplate around partitioning, fixing/freeing parameters, and updating nested structures.
–It is a narrower tool than Equinox itself, but the added parameter semantics make it more ergonomic for complex models.

Plannotator 0.19.24 adds Amp support and configurable storage

Plannotator 0.19.24 is a substantial release that expands the tool beyond Claude Code with native Amp support, adds a `PLANNOTATOR_DATA_DIR` override so users can move the default `~/.plannotator` data directory, introduces Auto Mode in the permission selector for newer Claude Code versions, and fixes a Pi approval crash after plan acceptance. The update folds multiple stacked PRs into one release and pushes the project further toward a multi-agent review layer rather than a single-agent hook utility.
