    COSMIC bans AI-generated contributions as GNOME debates accepting AI bug reports

    AISystem76's COSMIC desktop now requires contributors to declare no LLM-generated content in pull requests, including code, comments, and descriptions. GNOME Calendar and GNOME Extensions also restrict AI-generated contributions, while GNOME developer Michael Catanzaro argues the project should accept AI-generated bug reports. Catanzaro's case rests on memory-unsafe languages such as C, C++, and Vala, and he has shortened GNOME Security's disclosure deadline from 90 days to 30, effective August 1.

    Ai2's Bolmo byte-level language models are published in Nature

    AIAi2 has published its Bolmo byte-level language model research in Nature and released new checkpoints on Hugging Face. The byteifying process converts an existing subword model into a byte-level one with a relatively short additional training run, and the paper reports that it also works for Qwen 3 8B and Llama 3 8B, producing Bwen 8B and Blama 8B. Ai2 also released Stage 1 checkpoints for researchers extending the architecture.

    Meta and Sierra Announce Personal Agent Protocol for Agent-Business Interaction

    AIMeta and Sierra announced the Personal Agent Protocol, an open standard for how personal AI agents find and transact with businesses on a user's behalf. The author says it defines discovery, OAuth-based sessions, and a choice among website, API, or company agent routes, and distinguishes it from MCP, which connects agents to tools and data, and A2A, which hands tasks to another agent.
