Learn to build evals, folks!
You're not really doing recursive self-improvement (RSI) if you are not doing evals. And don't tell me your agents are generating the evals for you. They are pretty bad at it.
I have found it really interesting and useful to give agents a concrete way to measure results and stay on track with a long-term goal. It's easier to hill climb when things are clearly measured and well defined. Probably one of the most important skills anyone in the space can have today.
It doesn't matter how many agents and intelligence you throw at a problem; you are not going too far without proper evals.
We've raised the max request size for Messages and Token Counting on the Claude API from 32 MB to 128 MB.
Image-heavy requests like long computer-use sessions and big PDFs were previously hitting 32 MB with plenty of context window left. Now you get ~4x more room.
Google killed Jules AI agent 💀
Its planned functionalities are about to arrive to Antigravity instead.
> “We’re working on bringing our learnings from Jules into Antigravity so you get the best of both worlds: autonomous remote background task execution and an agent-first development environment.”
Antigravity already has some traces of a new “Chief of Staff” agent spotted earlier.
I feel like it was unfortunate that Jules v2 got planned at a moment when AI super apps emerged and Google had to fight back with Codex.
