Orbit for Mac isolates Google accounts

Orbit for Mac is a native Swift desktop application designed to run and isolate multiple Google accounts within separate WebKit sandboxes. Operating entirely locally, the lightweight client enables instant keyboard switching between Gmail, Drive, and Gemini accounts without cloud synchronization.

// ANALYSIS

Orbit for Mac represents a smart rejection of heavy Electron apps by using macOS native WebKit to build a lightning-fast, resource-friendly desktop client. While its local-first, subscription-free approach is compelling for productivity-focused Mac power users, its high regular price tag of $89 will make it a hard sell for average consumers who are content using standard browser profiles.

–Utilizes native Swift and WebKit to maintain a tiny 12 MB installation footprint and extremely low memory usage.
–Features strict session isolation per room to guarantee privacy and prevent cross-account tracking.
–Avoids server-side storage or synchronization, keeping all user data and credentials strictly local.
–Provides zero-latency workspace navigation using native OS-level keyboard shortcuts.

HASE co-evolves model weights, harness

Harness-Aware Self-Evolving (HASE) is an agentic reinforcement learning framework that allows a single model to co-evolve its policy weights, task solutions, and environment harness in a unified multi-turn action space. By enabling the model to dynamically modify harness components like prompts, memory formatting, and validators, HASE allows smaller models like Qwen3-8B to match or beat the performance of models as large as 120B parameters in domains like text classification and alpha factor mining.

GaP boosts robot policy reliability

Graph-as-Policy (GaP) is a robotics framework designed to bridge the reliability gap in variational automation tasks by representing robot policies as directed computation graphs of modular skills. Developed by researchers from UC Berkeley, NVIDIA, CMU, and Bosch, the framework uses an LLM-in-the-loop multi-agent system to construct, test, and refine these graphs in simulation before deployment.

Lilian Weng outlines harness engineering for RSI

Lilian Weng argues that recursive self-improvement (RSI) in AI lies in optimizing the "harness"—the orchestration layer surrounding a base model—rather than directly rewriting weights. Weng details how harness engineering is transitioning into code-based meta-optimization, though full RSI remains bottlenecked by evaluation and memory limitations.
