Working on cool stuff with Cloud technologies... #NeverStopLearning

[Richard Hess @eswat2]

Just published my first Substack article:

Building a High-Quality Personal MCP Knowledge Base with Multiple Interfaces

I built eswat2-mcp — a pure Python (FastAPI + FastMCP) knowledge platform that serves as a reliable digital twin of my 40+ years in UI/UX software engineering.

It features the same content through multiple experiences:

• REST API (live on Vercel)
• Full MCP (locally / self-hosted)
• 2D + 3D knowledge graphs
• New bespoke Wiki with full browser history & deep linking

Full article: https://t.co/Xx5XrXAbQ4

Would love feedback from anyone working on personal knowledge infrastructure, AI context systems, or MCP tools.

At the 24H Daytona, the BMW M Hybrid V8 features a refined front design, new yellow icon lights, and enhanced track lighting for night racing. The car debuts the Inception Design, now applied across all of our LMDh cars – uniting the entire BMW M race car family under one look.

Stop over-engineering your context.

LLMs have been extensively trained in how to use filesystems. Even if you’re not making a coding agent, it turns out that’s the most effective and natural way to manage your context.

Here’s our guide to mapping any domain, from financial analysis and support tickets to sales optimization, into a filesystem so you can build better agents ↓

New on the Anthropic Engineering Blog: Demystifying evals for AI agents.

The capabilities that make agents useful also make them more difficult to evaluate. Here are evaluation strategies that have worked across real-world deployments.

The most surprising “AI PC” move might not be a laptop at all. 🔧

AMD is launching a dedicated dev box concept: the Ryzen AI Halo Developer Platform.

It is described as a compact SFF desktop PC built around high-performance Ryzen AI Max+ Series processors, with a clear pitch for developers: leadership tokens-per-second-per-dollar.
Availability is targeted for Q2 2026.

This matters because it acknowledges a very real gap in the market for AMD: developers want a local system that can run meaningful models, iterate fast, and stay aligned with the same software story they use elsewhere.

AMD is also tying Halo to developer support across the ecosystem, which lines up with the broader push to unify experiences through ROCm.

And yes, positioning-wise, this is a competitor to Nvidia DGX Spark: a purpose-built, compact developer system designed to make local AI development feel practical, not experimental.

So what: the winners in AI are going to be the platforms that reduce friction for builders. A dev box that optimizes for tokens-per-dollar is a very “developer-first” signal.

How is AI changing work inside Anthropic? And what might this tell us about the effects on the wider labor force to come?

We surveyed 132 of our engineers, conducted 53 in-depth interviews, and analyzed 200K internal Claude Code sessions to find out.

Saturn's famous hexagon.

This atmospheric phenomenon rotates counterclockwise at approximately 320 km/h, completing one rotation every 10 hours and 40 minutes.

The hexagon is approximately 25,000 km in diameter.

Remarkably, while storms on other planets change and disappear, this hexagon remains unchanged for at least 40 years.

The ultimate unlock... Gemini 3 + Gemini CLI has arrived 🚀🚀🚀

❯ npm install -g @google/gemini-cli@latest

Now to avoid melting too many TPUs we're going to be iteratively rolling out the support (it's quite epic):

- ✅ Available Now: Google AI Ultra subscribers and those with a paid Gemini API key.
- 🏢 Coming Soon: Gemini Code Assist Enterprise users.
- 📝 Waitlist: All other users (including Free & Standard tiers) can join the waitlist here: https://t.co/N4Vs3Wa24h

Track waitlist and rollout progress here: https://t.co/7bgZSJsq3l

If you already have access (AI Ultra or paid API key), run /settings, toggle “Preview features” to true and enjoy!

Claude Code Weekly Roundup

Last week we landed several CLI UX polish updates (better spinner, inline bash feedback), expanded hooks options, and a new frontend-design plugin that levels up Claude's design capabilities.
