PeekPaste launches private clipboard history for Mac

PeekPaste is a native macOS clipboard manager with edge-triggered access, searchable screenshots via on-device OCR, previews, pins, categories, and support for text, code, links, images, colors, and files. It launches with local-only storage, no accounts or telemetry, and a $9.99 one-time price.

// ANALYSIS

PeekPaste’s appeal is disciplined focus: it makes clipboard retrieval feel like a macOS gesture instead of another app window. The privacy-first design is compelling, though the lack of cross-device sync limits it against more established options.

–On-device OCR makes screenshots genuinely searchable, especially useful for developers recovering error messages or code
–Edge activation, Space previews, drag-and-drop, and text transforms target high-frequency clipboard workflows
–Password masking and app-specific exclusions address one of the biggest risks of clipboard history tools
–The $9.99 lifetime purchase undercuts subscription-based competitors, but free options such as Maccy remain strong alternatives
–This is a productivity utility with AI-adjacent OCR, not a core AI developer tool

MYWAI ports VILMA to Arduino AI boards

Developed under the European ARISE I-GENIUS research initiative alongside Centro Ricerche FIAT and the University of Genoa, MYWAI's VILMA (Visual Imitation Learning for Manipulation Activities) toolkit enables robotic manipulators to acquire kitting and pick-and-place tasks by watching a single human demonstration. The end-to-end pipeline extracts 3D hand landmarks via MediaPipe, tracks objects with YOLOv8, and models motion trajectories using Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMPs) that adapt dynamically to new object coordinates. The toolkit has now been ported to edge hardware, running vision inference and motion adaptation directly on Qualcomm-powered Arduino UNO Q and VENTUNO Q boards interfaced with ROS 2 and robotic arms like the Fairino FR10.

CoG adds cognitive cycles to GraphRAG

Cognition on Graph (CoG) is a training-free, open-source framework that alternates planning, graph-text exploration, synthesis, and reflection for multi-hop question answering. Across seven benchmarks, it reports stronger accuracy while accessing 12.4× fewer documents than ToG-2.

Merge Gateway finds GLM 5.3 beats Claude

Merge Gateway evaluated five open-weight models—GLM 5.3, GLM 5.3 Flash, DeepSeek V4 Pro, DeepSeek V4 Flash, and Kimi K3—against Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 5 across 20 real coding challenges, with GLM 5.3 solving 14 tasks versus Claude’s 12 at $0.317 per successful solve versus $3.415 and a faster median completion time (170s versus 197s). DeepSeek V4 Flash matched Claude’s 12/20 solve rate at $0.032 per successful task—106x cheaper but slower at 261 seconds—and all tested models are accessible through Merge Gateway’s unified API.
