Introducing fx, a tiny, open, native coding agent from... Vercel Labs. Originally an internal tool, fx is a harness and CLI written in Zig, optimized for research and embedding in larger systems. Today, we're open sourcing it. fx is built on three principles: 1. Fast. A single native binary, no runtime to install. It cold starts in 10µs and does no unnecessary work or I/O before accepting input. fx is the answer to "how fast can a coding agent be?" 2. Light. The 6.3MiB binary uses single-digit megabytes of memory at baseline, made for instant installation and embedding in resource-constrained environments and agent sandboxes. 3. Open. Apache-2.0, model and provider agnostic, suitable for local and cloud inference. Its small core extends through skills, plugins, and MCP. Minimalism is an obsession throughout the entire harness: system prompt, tools, features, binary. The goal was to keep context usage and time to first token low, and make fx optimal for model benchmarking, sandboxing, evals, and gyms. You can use fx directly or embed it as infrastructure. The CLI feels more like a Unix shell than an IDE in the terminal: it preserves scroll history, produces minimal output, and uses complex TUI rendering very, very sparingly. Programmatically, 𝚏𝚡 𝚊𝚜𝚔 --𝚓𝚜𝚘𝚗 gives structured output, 𝚏𝚡 𝚊𝚌𝚙 connects to editors and other clients, and WebAssembly can even run the whole thing inside the browser (see: Privacy is a design constraint: no product telemetry, sessions and usage stay local, and no source code or prompts are shared with any endpoint other than inference. With local inference and auto-updates off, fx is fully hermetic. fx is experimental. Use at your own risk and expect frequent changes.

Iran war, Day 104 | Another Trump taco! Trump... has capitulated again and will not be striking Iran for now given how hard Iran hit back wiping out the US 5th fleet in Bahrain and destroying various fighter jets (F-35s, F-15s, F-16s), stationed in Jordan’s Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in addition to key military installations at Al-Azraq base. Kuwait also got hit hard. Most of Trump’s weak strikes were also intercepted by Iran while the U.S. bases sustained billion in damage! The Bahrainis are also happy about Iran’s strike against their totalitarian dictatorship. And now Trump says he’s close to a deal for the 38th time! Sure you are Donnie! Take your meds grandpa! Needless to say, -Iran denies the existence of an agreement with the USA. -Israel says an agreement doesn’t exist -But Trump says the U.S. won militarily against Iran! Trump: “We removed many ships and hundreds of millions of barrels of oil from the Strait of Hormuz.” •Reality: regime change failed. Iran retains its missile & nuclear capacity; the SOH is closed. -Trump: “The Iranians have a chance to rebuild their country, as it is largely destroyed.” Reality: Iran is largely in tact and calls the shots! There’s no deal! Iran won’t compromise. Trump: “we reached a very strong MOU” Things aren’t looking good for Elon! Iran will target Elon companies (Starlink, SpaceZ), in West Asia, per Fars News. All interests related to economic holdings managed by Elon Musk in West Asia, including Arab countries and Israel, are under review to be included in Iran's new target bank. This move follows the proof of the use of infrastructure managed by Elon Musk, including Starlink, by the US, Israeli armies and Mossad!show more

Introducing the BIOS API: Turn Your Agent Into a... Research Scientist Built to: 🦞 Add biomedical workflows to your OpenClaw🦞 agent 🧠 Create research or health agents w/ on-demand scientific intelligence 🧪 Pay per query via x402 on Base Any agent or app can now tap into the BIOS AI Scientist, plugging BIOS into the broader agent economy. What is BIOS? BIOS is an AI Scientist designed to handle complex biomedical research by orchestrating specialized scientific subagents. Ranked #1 on the leading bioinformatics benchmark, BIOS is already being used by 1,000+ researchers and labs to build new drugs and medicines. An Agentic Economy for Science AI agents have proven they can form multi-billion dollar ecosystems. BIOS applies the same primitives to drug discovery pipelines and health. Instead of coding bots and personal AI assistants, think research agent swarms running on a modern scientific stack. Imagine an OpenClaw agent built for longevity: It scans new literature daily, generates novel compound hypotheses through BIOS, designs validation workflows, and routes the best candidates to wet-lab funding - all programmatically. Connect it with an agent for microbiome health, enabling agent “backrooms” that autonomously surface cross-disciplinary insights. Micropayments for Scientific Work via x402 Each query triggers payment routing to BIOS and whichever subagents contribute to a response. The best agents earn. Usage settles instantly across contributing sources. The goal is pay-per-task science: paying for a CRISPR assay result, licensing a genomic dataset, or triggering a clinical data query - all settled in seconds via USDC. No purchase orders. No grant bureaucracy. No middlemen. x402 is the payment rail that makes agent-to-lab commerce possible - letting capital and cognition route themselves to the highest-signal science. What Will You Build? Drug discovery copilots? Longevity scouts? Automated literature monitors? Scientific due diligence agents? We’ll soon share the first implementations of the BIOS API. Stay tuned and see below for instructions on generating an API key for your agent or use-case.show more

LLM Artifacts Connected to Andrej Karpathy's LLM Knowledge base... idea, I've been building out a fun way to generate dynamic artifacts from these knowledge bases with the goal of discovering and revealing meaningful and deeper insights. LLM KBs are hard to consume for humans, as I think they are more built for agents. So the question is, what form would be useful for humans to take actions and make important decisions? That's what I am trying to figure out with these artifacts. The artifact example shows a pulse on HN discussions around AI-related stories. The insights can go deeper, of course, but this is already super fun and thought-provoking, like some of my favorite podcasts. The format and depth matter a lot. The aggregation skills of agents are outstanding if you tune the prompts and skill carefully. I built this artifact generator in a few minutes through an agent skill, but I feel like there are so many ways that LLM-generated information can be used and consumed. Like generating deeper insights and analysis, and things that are just not feasible for humans today. The generated artifact (including its data and design) serves as reusable templates or can be updated in real-time via auomations, which is something I am also working on. It is truly an insane way to monitor and track information. Better than a newsletter. Better than newspapers. There is something about this that gets me really excited about the future of AI agents for knowledge generation and discovery. Lots of hidden gems everywhere just waiting to be discovered and acted on if the information is presented correctly. This is not perfect. The format, style/prose can be improved, but this is easy to customize via skill. You can personalize it to your liking. I feel like these dynamic artifacts are going to emerge as a strong new medium to stay on the cutting edge of things, both for agents and humans. My target is research, of course. This was just a basic example. Besides animation, I am also targeting other components like voice, videos, images, slides, etc. This space is full of opportunities to explore. Skill for this coming soon.show more

Keep Going, AI Artist The World Needs Your Voice... The world can seem loud against us right now. Gatekeepers calling our work “fake,” comments trying to tear us down, friends and family still not understanding why we spend so many hours prompting and creating. Sometimes it feels like everything is stacked against AI artists. But here’s the truth I want you to hold onto: Every prompt you write is an act of courage. Every time you open the tool after a tough day and keep learning new techniques, you’re proving them wrong. You’re not just making images, you’re shaping the future of creativity. This path isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. The more we learn, the better we get. The more we share prompts, workflows, and encouragement, the stronger we become as a community. Every kind comment you leave, every artist you lift up, every experiment you try, it all matters. The hate is loud, but our creations are louder. So keep learning. Keep prompting. Keep supporting each other. The world may not fully understand us yet, but it will. And when that day comes, we’ll already be here, building, growing, and creating beautiful things together. You are not alone. Your art is valid. Your effort is seen. Keep going, friend. The best chapters are still ahead. With you in this, Keep creating. ❤️show more

✨ I open sourced my first Chrome extension 🚀... SuperLevels I vibe coded it to replace all my Chrome extensions that are increasingly being bought up by spyware and malware companies who sell your data or worse hack your accounts and steal your stuff/money/data, which I'd call one of the top security risks right now For example: Chrome extensions can read your cookies or localStorage data, including session tokens, then login to your web or email accounts and hack you, they can inject code into any site to pull data form any site you browse, then break into your crypto accounts, drain your wallets, and selling your browsing history to ad companies, but that'd actually be the most favorable thing to happen of all these! Chrome extensions are just very very very unsafe So I coded my own, that I can trust because I made it, and I can read the source code: my extension is called 🚀SuperLevels and has all the features that the Chrome extensions I used to use have but all built into one safe one The cool thing is it's 100% open source and free, and you can audit the code first with AI yourself before installing it, and then if you do install it, customize it to your liking again with AI It has these features that improve my daily workflow while browsing the web: 🚮 Tab Cleaner Automatically closes inactive tabs after a configurable timeout (default: 5 minutes).

🚨 The last 24 hours didn’t change the war... in Iran. They clarified where it’s heading. *⃣ Israel struck inside Tehran again, with the IDF confirming a wide wave targeting regime infrastructure in the capital. Open-source reporting points to repeated explosions in western Tehran’s Chitgar area, including sites linked to IRGC aerospace activity, with indications of deeper penetration into command and operational systems. *⃣ Iran launched multiple coordinated barrages into central Israel, triggering nationwide alerts across Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and the coastal plain. A ballistic missile struck a residential area, while cluster munitions and interception debris caused localized damage and light injuries across multiple locations. *⃣ The U.S. paused energy-site strikes while preparing escalation options, extending the timeline for targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure while weighing deployment of up to 10,000 additional troops and potential expanded operations. Over the last 24 hours, the battlefield didn’t shift in a dramatic new direction. But the trajectory became clearer. Inside Iran, the campaign is now visibly centered on Tehran itself, not just peripheral military sites. Repeated strikes in western districts and areas associated with IRGC aerospace infrastructure point to a focused effort to degrade missile and operational command capabilities. Additional reporting suggests targeted eliminations remain part of the campaign, though confirmation remains mixed. On the Israeli side, Iran demonstrated it can still impose disruption at scale. The latest attacks included multiple waves in a single day, with at least one confirmed impact in a residential area and additional injuries caused by shrapnel and cluster dispersal. The operational effect is less about mass casualties and more about sustained pressure on Israel’s civilian core. The diplomatic picture also became clearer, not because of progress, but because of contradiction. Washington has paused strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure for 10 days while pushing for a deal, even as Tehran denies requesting the pause and rejects key elements of the U.S. position. At the same time, Iran appears to be selectively modulating pressure in the Strait of Hormuz, allowing limited passage in what U.S. officials have framed as a gesture, even as broader threats to Gulf energy infrastructure remain in place. At the same time, the U.S. is preparing for the opposite outcome. Planning continues for additional troop deployments and potential escalation scenarios, including operations targeting Kharg Island, the terminal responsible for the majority of Iran’s oil exports. Control of that node would directly threaten the regime’s primary revenue stream, but would also carry significant risk of wider regional retaliation. Israel, for its part, appears to be acting on the assumption that its window is limited. Reporting indicates directives to accelerate strikes against Iran’s military-industrial base, including missile and drone production, before any diplomatic outcome can constrain operations. Put together, the signal is this: ➡️The war is not expanding dramatically right now. It is tightening. ➡️Israel is pushing deeper into the infrastructure that sustains Iran’s military capability, now centered on Tehran. ➡️Iran is relying on intermittent but still disruptive strikes that continue to reach Israel’s population centers. And the United States is positioning between negotiation and escalation at the same time, preparing options that could decisively shift the war if chosen. ➡️The gap between what Washington says is happening and what Tehran is willing to accept is now as important as the fighting itself. **Special thanks to Michael W for his continued contribution to the open-source intel picture behind these updates.

🚨 OPERATIONAL UPDATE: ISRAEL U.S. WAR WITH THE ISLAMIC... REPUBLIC - Reporting Window: Last 24 Hours Heavy strike activity continued across Iran, while Iran maintained intermittent but still damaging attacks into Israel and across the Gulf. Open-source reporting, civilian footage, and mainstream outlets including The New York Times, AP, The Guardian, Ynet, and The Jerusalem Post all point to the same picture: sustained pressure across multiple fronts with no meaningful slowdown. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✈️ INSIDE IRAN The most concrete strike detail in this window is the continued targeting of Iran’s energy and industrial base. Multiple sources, including The Guardian, AP, and Ynet, confirm Israeli strikes on the South Pars gas field, specifically a major petrochemical facility responsible for roughly half of Iran’s petrochemical production. Additional reporting indicates that, combined with prior strikes, a large portion of Iran’s export-linked petrochemical capacity has now been taken offline. This sits alongside continued strikes in and around Tehran, with open-source reporting and local accounts indicating ongoing explosions, air defense activity, and damage to both infrastructure and regime-linked sites. At the same time, Majid Khademi, head of the IRGC Intelligence Organization, was killed in strikes attributed to Israel and the United States. That removes a senior figure tied directly to internal security, intelligence coordination, and regime control. Taken together, this window reinforces what has already been visible: *⃣ Energy and industrial infrastructure are being hit directly *⃣ Senior regime figures remain active targets *⃣ Tehran itself continues to absorb repeated strike activity ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚀 IRANIAN STRIKES ON ISRAEL Iran continued to launch missiles into Israel, with the most detailed reporting coming from Ynet and corroborated by open-source imagery and emergency response reports. A cluster munition missile dispersed submunitions across central Israel, creating 20 to 28 separate impact sites across the Tel Aviv metropolitan area. Residential buildings, vehicles, and infrastructure were damaged, and at least one person was wounded. Separately, rescue operations in Haifa confirmed four civilian fatalities after a direct missile strike caused a structural collapse in a residential building. This is consistent with what you’ve already been reporting: *⃣ Iran still has the ability to penetrate defenses at times *⃣ Civilian impact remains real even at reduced launch tempo *⃣ Cluster munitions continue to increase the number of impact sites per strike ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔥 LEBANON FRONT Lebanon remained active, though not the central focus of this window. Israeli strikes continued in Beirut’s southern suburbs, targeting Hezbollah positions, with large secondary explosions and visible damage. Reporting from Asharq Al-Awsat and additional regional sources indicates continued evacuation patterns and reduced civilian presence in targeted areas. There is also continued reporting of internal Lebanese tension, with criticism of Hezbollah growing in some areas as strikes expand geographically. This front remains active, but its role in this window is supportive rather than dominant. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 GULF AND REGIONAL PRESSURE Iran continued applying pressure beyond Israel, particularly in the Gulf. Reporting from The National indicates Kuwait has now intercepted hundreds of drones and ballistic missiles since late February, with continued targeting of: *⃣ Oil refineries *⃣ Power infrastructure *⃣ Desalination facilities Daily life in Kuwait is continuing, but under persistent alert conditions. This reinforces the broader pattern already established that Iran is sustaining regional pressure even as its direct strike tempo into Israel fluctuates. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚓ HORMUZ AND THE POLITICAL CLOCK The most consequential non-kinetic development remains tied to the Strait of Hormuz. Reporting across The New York Times, AP, and Al Jazeera confirms that the U.S. has again issued a deadline for Iran to reopen the strait, with explicit threats to strike power plants, bridges, and national infrastructure if that does not occur. Iran has responded by signaling it will retaliate if those strikes are carried out. At the same time, there are indications of ongoing diplomatic efforts, including proposals being circulated through regional intermediaries, though none appear close to resolution. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 WHAT MATTERS MOST RIGHT NOW • Israeli strikes continue to hit energy infrastructure and regime leadership targets inside Iran • Iran maintains the ability to cause civilian damage inside Israel, including multi-impact cluster strikes • Civilian fatalities inside Israel were confirmed in this window • Hezbollah positions in Beirut continue to be targeted • Gulf infrastructure remains under sustained Iranian pressure • The Hormuz deadline remains the clearest trigger for possible escalation ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧠 ASSESSMENT The pattern across the war is holding. Israel continues applying pressure across military, industrial, and economic systems inside Iran. Iran continues to respond within its constraints, maintaining the ability to strike while distributing pressure across multiple fronts. The most important variable is not a new development. It is timing. The U.S. has now attached a clear deadline to Hormuz, with specific targets named publicly. If that deadline passes without resolution, escalation will not be gradual. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📖 BOOK PLUG If you want the deeper context behind everything you’re watching play out right now, I break it down in: Contested Land, Uncontested Truth It goes beyond daily updates and explains the history, strategy, and narratives shaping this conflict.

4th Kōkūtai Mitsubishi G4M1 "Betty" missing its port engine... falls into the sea just short of USS Lexington on February 20th 1942 during the action off Bougainville This was a naval and air engagement in the South Pacific Theater of World War II near Bougainville, Papua New Guinea where a United States Navy aircraft carrier task force centered around USS Lexington on its way to raid the Imperial Japanese military base at Rabaul was attacked by a force of land-based bombers of the Imperial Japanese Navy. In the ensuing engagement, the Japanese air group lost 15 of 17 bombers sent to attack the American carrier group. The United States lost only two fighters in defense, and no ships were damaged. As a result of the loss of surprise, however, the Americans retired without raiding Rabaul as originally planned. The aircraft visible in the clip is a G4M1 of 4th Kōkūtai's 1st Chûtai commanded by Lieutenant Commander Takuzo Ito, the group's commanding officer. Together with seven other "Betties" his formation was attacked by two Wildcats, flown by Lieutenant Edward "Butch" O'Hare and Lieutenant (junior grade) Marion Dufilho. During the first pass, Dufilho's guns jammed, leaving O'Hare to attack the bombers alone. O'Hare employed a high-side diving attack from the right side of the formation, accurately placing bursts of gunfire into the outside "Betty"'s right engine and wing fuel tanks. When the stricken craft, commanded by Petty Officer 2nd Class Ryosuke Kogiku (3rd Shotai), lurched to starboard, O'Hare switched to the next plane up the line, that of Petty Officer 1st Class Koji Maeda (3rd Shotai leader). Maeda's plane caught fire, but his crew managed to put out the flames with "one single spurt of liquid...from the fire-extinguisher." Neither Maeda or Kogiku had sustained fatal damage, and would catch up with the group before bomb release. With two "Bettys" knocked out of formation, albeit temporarily, O'Hare initiated another firing pass, this time from the left side. His first target was the outside plane, flown by Petty Officer 1st Class Bin Mori (2nd Shotai). Aiming across to the far side of Mori's bomber, O'Hare's bullets damaged the right engine and left fuel tank, forcing Mori to dump his bombs and abort his mission. With Mori out of combat, O'Hare next targeted Ito's senior wingman, Petty Officer 1st Class Susumu Uchiyama (1st Shotai), whose plane did not recover from its dive. Having shot up four bombers, O'Hare returned to the left side for a third firing pass. By now, Ito was nearing the bomb release point, which left very little time to take action. The first plane to go down was Ito's deputy, Lieutenant (junior grade) Akira Mitani (2nd Shotai leader). Mitani's departure left Ito's command plane exposed, and O'Hare opened up on it. O'Hare's concentrated fire caused the plane's port engine nacelle to break free of the wing. The resulting explosion was so violent that the 1st Chûtai pilots were convinced that an AA burst had struck their commander's plane. With a gaping hole in its left wing, Ito's plane fell out of formation. As the surviving "Bettys" withdrew, Ito's command pilot, Warrant Officer Chuzo Watanabe, managed to regain enough control to level his plane. He tried to steer his damaged plane into Lexington, but missed and flew into the water near the carrier at 17:12. Maeda, witnessing the event, believed that both Ito and Mitani (who had gone down moments earlier) had crashed "bombs, crew and all" into the carrier. The crippled plane is seen barely remaining airborne while flying on one engine and does not survive the concentrated anti-aircraft fire coming from the carrier.show more
