I watched it last night.
Halfway through, I realized I could get into Anthropic in weeks, not years.
Bookmark now. Watch it. Then build your own AI agent
Long-horizon research agents need a practical way to search, browse, and extract information across multi-step tasks.
OpenResearcher is a fully open agentic 30B-A3B language model designed for long-horizon deep-research scenarios.
It deploys an OpenResearcher model through vLLM, pairs it with a browser pool and search backend, then runs a deep-research agent that searches the web, browses pages, and extracts relevant information.
Key features:
• Open training and evaluation recipe covering a 96K high-quality deep-research trajectory dataset, model, distillation recipe, and evaluation framework.
• Training trajectories contain 100+ turns generated by GPT-OSS-120B with native browser tools.
• A self-built retriever over a dedicated approximately 11B-token corpus eliminates the need for external search APIs during trajectory generation.
• Supports local BM25 or dense search for BrowseComp-Plus and a Serper search backend for other listed benchmarks.
• Includes benchmark workflows for BrowseComp-Plus, BrowseComp, GAIA-text, and xbench-DeepResearch.

your agent loop needs 8 exits. most people ship only one.
(explained with triggers)
1) goal met
→ an evaluator scores the output against a rubric, and the run stops on a pass.
→ fires when the work is measurably done, not when the model says it is done.
2) turn cap
→ a hard ceiling on iterations, counted and enforced by the harness, not the prompt.
→ fires on the task it was never going to finish, before you pay to find that out.
3) budget cap
→ a limit on tokens or dollars, whichever one runs out first.
→ fires mid-run, which is exactly why it is the exit that saves you the 3am bill.
4) wall clock
→ a deadline on elapsed time, independent of how much progress was made.
→ fires when the run collides with a deploy window or the start of business hours.
5) no progress
→ hash the state every turn and compare it against the last few.
→ fires when three turns in a row change nothing. busy is not the same as moving.
6) human interrupt
→ an approval gate before risky steps, plus a kill switch that lives outside the loop.
→ fires whenever you decide, and it is the one exit the model cannot argue with.
7) error threshold
→ a counter of consecutive failures that resets on any success.
→ fires at n in a row, so it halts instead of retrying into the same wall all night.
8) external event
→ a webhook or a poll on whatever the task was actually about.
→ fires when the PR merged or the ticket closed and the work stopped mattering.
a loop with one exit hangs. a loop with eight is a system.
write the exits before you write the prompt.
🚀 Excited to share that #DSGym has been accepted to ICML 2026!
DSGym is a holistic, unified framework for evaluating and training data science agents with standardized abstractions and a modular architecture for adding tasks, agent scaffolds, and tools.
In this work, we:
🔍 Show that existing data science benchmarks are vulnerable to shortcuts: agents can often solve tasks without using the actual data.
📊 Release DSGym-Tasks, a curated task ecosystem that standardizes and audits representative benchmarks, filters shortcut-solvable tasks, and expands coverage with new scientific tasks.
⚡ Use DSGym for execution-grounded trajectory synthesis: with only 2K samples, we train a 4B model that outperforms GPT-4o on standardized data analysis benchmarks.

Open-source models are gradually taking their rightful place, and the best part is... they run on CPUs 🤩
Here, in full directly on Twitter, is "A Hackers' Guide to Language Models". This 90 minute tutorial is designed to be the one place I point coders at when they ask "hey, tell me everything I need to know about LLMs!"
It covers both @OpenAI models and open source ones in depth.
