OpenRouter Agent SDK adds human-in-the-loop tools

OpenRouter has updated its Agent SDK to simplify compliance with upcoming AI safety regulations like the EU AI Act and Colorado's ADMT law. The update introduces structured hooks like onToolCalled and requireApproval to automate human-in-the-loop workflows, allowing agents to pause execution, persist state, and gather human reviews.

// ANALYSIS

Providing first-class SDK primitives for human-in-the-loop (HITL) oversight is a brilliant way to turn compliance requirements into developer conveniences.

–Swapping models easily with OpenRouter's API combined with regulatory guardrails makes this SDK highly practical for enterprise agent deployment.
–Gating consequential actions like payments or PII access is becoming standard engineering best practice, not just a regulatory chore.
–While state persistence and timeout escalation logic still need to be handled by the host application, these built-in hooks lower the development friction significantly.

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.
