Presented at Linux Plumbers 2026 this week, Boro uses local models to validate kernel backports and build, boot, and test patches, with remote OpenAI-compatible servers or Claude, OpenCode, and Codex as alternative back-ends. It's Apache 2.0 at NVIDIA/boro on GitHub, and its lead wants to fold some of it into Google's Sashiko review bot.
Released Oct 9 under Apache 2.0 and running in stock llama.cpp, the 2 bit build scores 88 vs the full 54GB model's 84 on Underdog's 120 task BFCL v4 tool calling bench and fixes 30 of 50 SWE bench Verified issues vs 33. Math and multi step reasoning take the hit (AIME 2025 drops from 96.7 to 79.2), and Underdog hasn't published its full compression recipe…
Shipped Oct 8 in response to a rise in low quality contributions, repos with pull request limits can now include drafts, closing the loophole where one account could open unlimited drafts and trigger notifications and CI runs. If you run agents that open draft PRs on repos you don't own, expect to hit those caps sooner…
Announced Oct 9, Harness bought select Augment Code assets, including Cosmos, the Auggie CLI, and the Code Context Engine, and Cosmos becomes the Harness Cosmos Software Factory Agent, where agents in isolated VMs plan a change from a ticket or bug, write code and tests, and keep fixing the same PR as reviews and checks come back. The release doesn't say what happens to Augment's existing IDE extensions or pricing, so current users should watch for a migration notice…
Posted to r/mcp on Oct 8, ShareBox lets you ask Claude to build a small web tool, publish it to your own instance over MCP, and get back an HTTPS link you can share by email, with Google sign in, per tool storage, and gVisor sandboxing handled by the platform. It's AGPL, self hosted, listed in the official MCP registry as io.github.zalaso/sharebox , and very new (zero GitHub stars at time of writing)…
Released Oct 9 as part of Upstash AgentKit, @upstash/mcp toolkit sits on the official MCP TypeScript SDK and adds the spec's Tasks extension for long running tools plus Events, a not yet spec proposal for waking an agent via webhooks. Client support is thin: as of Oct 7, ChatGPT handles Events in Work chats, while Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor support neither…
