Agent Activity Brings Xcode Agent Work Into View

Agent Activity is a native macOS dashboard that reveals live Claude Code and Xcode agent sessions, builds, tests, and screenshots. It reads local activity data on disk, with usage and crash diagnostics shared only after consent.

// ANALYSIS

Agent Activity targets the growing observability gap in AI-assisted development: agents can move quickly, but developers still struggle to understand what happened between prompt and working build.

–Local-first architecture keeps project activity on the Mac
–Timeline views connect agent sessions with builds, failures, tests, and fixes
–Xcode-specific focus makes it especially useful for Apple-platform developers
–Passive log and artifact reading reduces setup friction compared with instrumented platforms
–Its narrow macOS 26 and Xcode 27 requirement limits reach but enables deeper integration

SwiLA narrows softmax gap with constant-memory recall

Stanford researchers introduce SwiLA, a recurrent sequence layer that combines fixed-size linear-attention memory with dynamically routed linear regressors updated through online expectation-maximization. The paper reports stronger associative recall and competitive language-modeling results while keeping memory independent of sequence length.

VISTA Takes Claude to ARC-AGI-3 Perfect Score

MIT’s VISTA harness gives Claude Opus 5.0 lossless visual memory it can actively inspect, enabling a perfect score across all 25 public ARC-AGI-3 games with 57.4% fewer actions than first-time human players. The result required no additional model training.
