Yesterday I talked about @SlackHQ being a game changer with @claude tag but @NotionHQ is really cooking! The bar is moving every day!

[Notion @NotionHQ]

Introducing External Agents in Notion: Claude + Cursor.

Your team already collaborates in Notion. Now your favorite agents do too.

Assign them tasks from a board shared with your whole team. @-mention them like teammates. Watch them run.

@_annakulina This app made me think of you! 🏊‍♀️https://t.co/eNGIWatpTh

📣📣 Meet Qwen-AgentWorld — a native language world model that simulates 7 agent environments (MCP, Search, Terminal, SWE, Web, OS, Android) within a single model. Environment modeling is the training objective from day one, not a post-hoc adaptation.

🤔 LLMs are trained to be better agents — better at acting in environments. But nobody has trained them to model the environments themselves.

🗺️ Our roadmap: investigate how language world modeling can push the boundaries of general agent capabilities, along two routes:

1️⃣ Build a foundation model for environment simulation — outperforming Claude Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.4 on AgentWorldBench

2️⃣ Investigate how world modeling enhances agent training:
🔬 Controllable Sim RL (agentic RL with LWM as environments) surpasses training in real environments
🧠 Learning to predict environments (LWM warm-up) makes agents stronger — remarkably, even without any agent-specific training, this predictive knowledge transfers to agentic tasks with zero fine-tuning

Need to hit re-sort @ramblinroundup -
NC State is 9th based on the numbers shown.

[Luke Fletcher @ramblinroundup]

FY25 @theacc team distributions are in and the gap between the top and bottom of the league is eye-opening. @TaylorTannebaum @ByDavidTeel @joeovies @giglio_OG @EricMacLain #ACC #CFB #ACCFOOTBALL

Interesting take on the front end age … so this ends up also pushing back in the reclassification in 8th grade wave that would result in older players graduating hs. I do feel for players who legit barely played due to injuries and deserve red shirts. Maybe they could add a number of games provision too.

[Chubby♨️ @kimmonismus]

Reuters has now added more context to last week’s Mythos reporting.

According to AP, Anthropic’s Mythos model identified vulnerabilities in highly sensitive U.S. government computer systems during a testing exercise conducted with Washington’s intelligence agencies.

The tests reportedly took place under Project Glasswing, a restricted program designed to find and fix vulnerabilities in critical software before attackers can exploit them.

Senator Mark Warner had already referred to the testing in a congressional hearing this month, saying he had been told by NSA chief Joshua Rudd that Mythos “broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks, but in hours.”

Still mindblowing, but the context is important.

[Ian @ncsuian]

Clear indication we are paying these athletes way too much NIL as college students … a $3M brooch?

[Blue Devil Voices @DukeEchoes]

Isaiah Evans has always carried himself with confidence, and his draft night look reflected that. A $3 million brooch and a $1 million wallet chain made sure nobody was forgetting him tonight.🔥

[MLB2NC @MLBRaleigh]

According to @NHL and @visitRaleigh , The Stanley Cup Finals delivered over $13.4M in economic impact to Wake County.

Over 112,000 people attended. $255K in tax revenue was generated. 6,700 hotel room nights were purchased. Fans from all 50 states visited our city.

...and it was just 3 home games and 3 watch parties. (This is not including the over 200k people who showed up to the parade this past weekend.)

Professional sports are bigger than many realize. They have a unique ability to bring people together, to change the perception of a city/state, to generate excitement, and attract people who would not otherwise come to your city.

The one problem is that it's hard to acquire a professional franchise. You have to have the perfect combination of factors at the perfect time. This is how we even got the Hurricanes.

Our government had the foresight to build the arena, to recruit a professional hockey team. If that move isn't made, we don't have the @Canes. We don't have this run. We don't have this defining moment for our city/state.

With NFL, NHL, MLS, and NBA already spoken for in NC, MLB is the only one remaining.

And fate seems to be stepping in again...

And it just so happens that 8 years of community support, is merging with serious government interest and an investor with the money who just gave MLB the greatest proof of concept they could ever receive (a Stanley Cup in the exact market).

The time is now. The stars have aligned. This is the moment.

It's time to bring #MLB2NC and put #RaleighOnDeck.

@DanHolbrook @hubbledr1 @SteveTexasBest Thanks, @DanHolbrook! I appreciate the call out and am always looking to connect with more great patriots!

[Ian @ncsuian]

100% on point and we were trained to use the models wrong too - give them lots of data connections, have verbose conversations and they were trained to read it all and give us huge slide decks, specifications, plans, etc. that we never intended to read. All fine until the bill comes. Need some more context here though since $100k in AI that allows one dev earning $300k in SF to do the work of 10 isn't a bad equation.

[Kilo @kilocode]

Ten months ago, we said AI coding bills would hit $100k per dev per year. People thought that was just a hot take.

This week, Ramp confirmed they're spending about $90k per dev on AI.

We weren't being dramatic. We were just early.

[Ian @ncsuian]

@mark_k Not to mention that Anthropic is using SpaceX AI’s compute now too. People keep bashing Gemini, but it can do things the others can’t and OpenAI exited the video stage all together! I think AGI-like performance is going to come from the fusion of these models.

[Pack Tracker @chart_nc]

Updated chart with our first 2028 commit, TE Te’Vaughn Bell. I’ve also updated the incoming freshman class. All players from the 2026 class have officially enrolled. Including RB RJ Boyd who missed last year while recovering from cancer.

Apple just made Docker Desktop optional on Mac.

And it is completely free.

This is apple/container. 26.5k stars no Github.

You can now run Linux containers natively on your Mac without installing Docker Desktop, without a background daemon hogging your RAM, and without paying $21 a month per developer for a commercial license.

Here is what it does:

→ Runs Linux containers as lightweight VMs directly on Apple Silicon using macOS 26 virtualization
→ Fully OCI compatible. Pull any image from Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry or anywhere else
→ Written in Swift and optimised specifically for Apple Silicon. Faster and lighter than anything Docker Desktop does on Mac
→ Standard container CLI syntax. If you know Docker commands you already know how to use this
→ Push images you build to any standard container registry and run them anywhere

Docker Desktop charges $21 per developer per month for commercial use. Apple's version costs nothing and ships as open source under Apache-2.0.

Microsoft made Docker Desktop optional on Windows with WSL Containers last month.

Apple just did the same on Mac.

Docker is not going anywhere. But the era of paying for a GUI wrapper around containers on your own machine is quietly ending.

Another big announcement from @GeminiApp as @Google continues to cook and move the bar along with @AnthropicAI Haven’t heard much from @OpenAI this week though…

[Google @Google]

Today, the Interactions API is now generally available as our primary interface for Gemini models and agents.

Built based on developer feedback and optimized for stateful, agentic workflows, it brings new capabilities like Managed Agents, background execution, expanded tool support, multimodal generation, Gemini Omni (soon) and more.
