Fresh Tidewave updates:

* Minimap on large file diffs to spot changes fast
* Pin-point agent feedback: select & quote agent responses and tasks in prompts
* Smoother onboarding for Tidewave Teams
* Updated OpenCode, Claude Code & Codex — new features, effort-level selector, and more!

Refresh the browser and you are good to go!

[José Valim @josevalim]

So apparently when you install Claude Desktop app, they write a manifest file to several browser directories, even if you have never installed any of those browsers or never opted into using Anthropic's browser extension?

Code lens support lands in stable .... tomorrow! 🎉

Zed 1.0: Your last next editor.

We're fuming after hearing Bieber stopped his Coachella set (wknd 2) to check on his agents. 😡

[Zed @zeddotdev]

Agents belong front and center. A new default layout puts the Agent Panel and Threads Sidebar on the left, with the Project Panel on the right. Everything is customizable if you prefer a different setup.

[Zed @zeddotdev]

And for those of you wanting easy layout switching, landing soon

Rust friends in the Bay, come hang with us on May 20th! 🦀 We're co-hosting the Bay Area Rust meetup at the Root VC office with talks from Servo, Atuin, and Zed.

Link in comments to RSVP.

[Zed @zeddotdev]

... interesting.

The stack of Omarchy test laptops keep growing! Much appreciation to all the companies that have sent sample units, so we can get perfect out-of-the-box compatibility with as many machines as possible.

[Zed @zeddotdev]

Parallel agent support went out a couple days ago in v0.233.
If you haven't given them a spin yet, now's the time.

Here's what else landed this week. 🚀

[Chris Laub @ChrisLaubAI]

A Rust dev just killed Headless Chrome.

It's called Obscura. The open-source headless browser purpose-built for AI agents and scrapers at scale.

Chrome vs Obscura:

- Memory: 200MB+ → 30MB
- Binary: 300MB+ → 70MB
- Page load: 500ms → 85ms
- Startup: 2s → Instant
- Anti-detect: None → Built-in

Single binary. No Node, no Chrome, no dependencies.

Stealth mode is brutal:

→ Per-session fingerprint randomization (GPU, canvas, audio, battery)
→ 3,520 tracker domains blocked by default
→ navigator.webdriver masked to match real Chrome
→ Native function masking so detectors can't sniff it out

Drop-in replacement for Puppeteer and Playwright over CDP. Zero code changes.

If you run agents or serious scraping at scale, this repo prints money.

100% Opensource.

Andrej Karpathy (@karpathy), OpenAI co-founder, ex-Tesla AI, "vibe coding" creator.

In just 4 mins, he explains why Claude Skills, MCP servers, and AI agents are past the hype and are now the new baseline for building.

Worth every second ↓

This is where we are right now. And i’m not gonna lie it feels pretty magical 🧚‍♀️

Qwen3.6 27B running inside of Pi coding agent via Llama.cpp on the MacBook Pro

For non-trivial tasks on the @huggingface codebases, this feels very, very close to hitting the latest Opus in Claude Code, or whatever shiny monopolistic closed source API of the day is.

In full airplane mode.

Most people haven’t realized this yet.

If you have, it means you have a huge headstart to what I call the second revolution of AI.

Powerful local models for efficiency, security, privacy, sovereignty 🔥

After some deliberation, I finally decided to make https://t.co/lUIbKRV6yN free!

I still think it's an amazing resource, but my focus is elsewhere now. So, I wanted to make it a free resource for the community.

#MyElixirStatus

[Zed @zeddotdev]

Parallel Agents just shipped. Mix and match any agent, run them all at once, and manage everything from a new Threads Sidebar. Claude Agent, Codex, Zed's agent, or anything on ACP. One window, across all your projects.

[José Valim @josevalim]

Voice input just landed in Tidewave!

The best part: you can navigate your web app and point to UI elements as you dictate, adding them to your voice prompt. It also works when referencing lines in code reviews!

In 2023, we spent $3,934,099 on AWS + other hosting. In 2026, our hosting + support bill is down to ~$1m/year due to the cloud exit. Even including all the hardware buying, we will already have saved ~$4m by the end of this year. And going forward, it's ~$3m/yr in savings 🤑

This 16-minute talk by two Anthropic engineers who built Claude Skills will teach

you more about building them right than most developers figure out on their own in months.
