    Set Haiku 5.5 autocompact to 100K to stay in cheaper tier

    AIAnthropic's Lydia Hallie says API-billed users can set Haiku 5.5's autocompact window to 100K to remain in the cheaper token pricing tier. The setting is saved per model, so it applies only to Haiku, including subagents, and is configured with /model haiku followed by /autocompact 100k. Per the background post, prompts under 100K tokens cost $0.10/$0.50 per million tokens with $0.01 cache reads, versus $0.50/$2.50 with $0.05 cache reads above 100K.

    Google explains eager vs. lazy loading of MCP tools in Agent Plugins

    AIGoogle DevRel's James O'Reilly explains how Antigravity Agent Plugins expose local MCP server tools to the model, either eagerly as top-level functions or lazily through a call_mcp_tool proxy. Eager loading, set via "eager": true in mcp_config.json, avoids the discovery turn but adds fixed per-turn token overhead that can degrade reasoning with 100+ tools. Lazy loading is the plugin default and keeps baseline token use low, at the cost of an extra proxy hop and a higher chance of JSON quoting errors.

    Databricks Apps Adds On-Behalf-of-User Authorization for Permission-Aware Apps

    AIDatabricks announced general availability of on-behalf-of-user (OBO) authorization for Databricks Apps, letting apps act with the signed-in user's identity so Unity Catalog enforces that user's row filters and column masks. Developers can request narrow API scopes such as sql:restricted-query, which allows only read-only SQL queries, while apps keep a dedicated service principal for app-owned operations.

    Unsloth lets users train local decision models on 4GB VRAM

    AIUnsloth released an open-source method to fine-tune LLMs into decision models that run locally, lifting Qwen3.5 0.8B's aggregate accuracy from 20.7% to 74.3% across three decision benchmarks. The team used a Clef head with LoRA (r=64) for one epoch on just 4GB VRAM, with the approach applicable to models such as Qwen3.8 and Gemma 4. A guide and notebooks are available on the Unsloth documentation site and GitHub.

    Validate AI Factory Changes with Digital Twins and AI Agents

    AINVIDIA describes using digital twins and AI agents to validate changes to AI factory infrastructure, which combines GPUs, CPUs, switches, DPUs, and SuperNICs with schedulers, orchestration services, security controls, and a fast-changing software stack. The source frames the challenge as confirming that hardware, software, and policies work together for target workloads before deployment. The available excerpt does not give further detail on specific tools or results.

    Agentic Automation Business Cases Need to Count More Than Saved Hours

    AIAWS Machine Learning Blog argues that the traditional hours-saved ROI model, built for rule-based RPA, misses most of the value of agentic automation. It proposes an Agentic Value Model covering time savings, exception handling, decision quality, and change resilience, with value counted only when tied to a defined P&L mechanism and owner.

    Qlik Builds Grounded Enterprise AI Answers Using Amazon Bedrock

    AIQlik built Qlik Answers, a natural-language assistant that returns sourced answers from knowledge bases, analytics apps, glossaries, and documents, using Amazon Bedrock for model access. The system routes each question through specialist agents and retrieval on Amazon OpenSearch Service, with Amazon Bedrock Guardrails applied to every request and response. Qlik serves more than 40,000 customers across regions, using Amazon SageMaker AI as an in-Region fallback when models are not yet available on Bedrock.

    Automate remediation after AWS DevOps Agent investigations with Lambda and Bedrock

    AIThe AWS Machine Learning Blog describes an automated remediation workflow that acts on AWS DevOps Agent investigation results. Amazon EventBridge triggers a Lambda durable function that uses Amazon Bedrock to propose fixes from an allowlist of tools, running read-only actions autonomously and pausing for human approval before infrastructure changes. The post demonstrates the flow with a Lambda function whose 3-second timeout is raised to 30 seconds after a single approval.

    AWS playbook: six-week program closes AI builder gap for non-engineers

    AIAWS ran a six-week program pairing non-engineering professionals with mentors and tools like Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and the Strands Agents SDK to build working AI prototypes. Four participants with no engineering background built WealthWise, a multi-agent financial advisory tool with five agents on Amazon Nova models, which won first place. The article says participants who completed the phased program retained three times more practical skills than those in two-day intensive formats.

    Three agent use cases that act like an EA with calendar access

    AIAllie K. Miller outlines three agent workflows that work like an executive assistant and need only calendar access. The agent screens junk signups and sends only high-signal email recaps, routes speaking and advising inquiries with org research and a worth-your-time verdict, and builds a living CRM from forwarded emails that flags relevant contacts for follow-up.

    DAIR.AI launches MCP tools for curated AI paper discovery

    AIDAIR.AI has introduced MCP tools that let Codex, Claude, or Grok bots discover and explore a curated index of top AI papers. The index covers papers the author featured on X over the last couple of years, and the tools support summarizing papers, building literature reviews, finding SOTA results, and visualizing papers. Further benchmarks and regular additions are promised in the coming weeks.

    Build Your Own Post-Training Pipeline: SFT, Reward Model, and PPO

    AIThe final post in O'Reilly Radar's four-part post-training series walks readers through implementing the classic ChatGPT pipeline on Qwen2.5-1.5B, covering SFT, reward model training, and PPO. The walkthrough uses torchtune for SFT and verl, a Ray-based RL framework from ByteDance's team, for reinforcement learning. The author says the goal is hands-on understanding rather than reproducing InstructGPT, which took a large team and thousands of GPU-hours.

  14. Claude BlogAI score66

    Claude skill commands build evals and hillclimb them against overfitting

    AIAnthropic added build-eval and hillclimb commands to its claude-api skill for designing evaluations and iteratively improving applications against them. The article covers eval design principles, including production-representative tasks, headroom and low variance, and guards against overfitting through train/test splits. Two examples report results: a customer support benchmark where cost fell to under half while accuracy rose, and a claude-api skill eval that rose from 66% to 88%.

    Why it matters: The article gives a concrete workflow for designing evals and hillclimbing without overfitting, with two worked cost and performance examples that show the tradeoffs.

    Independent review layer keeps LLM data agent from judging its own SQL

    AIA data analysis agent built by @Sumanth_077 separates generation, deterministic guardrails, and review: Qwen writes read-only SELECT queries, code enforces hard rules such as a single SELECT, SQLite read-only mode, and a 200-line limit, and a separate TypeSafe AI Jev model checks question clarity, SQL relevance, and whether answers are grounded in returned rows. Answers that fail grounding are marked as unverified drafts while the SQL and data are kept for human inspection.

    Jerry Liu argues agentic OCR beats legacy systems on accuracy and cost

    AIJerry Liu argues that OCR, long dominated by brittle legacy systems, can be solved accurately and cheaply by applying agentic intelligence. He says a properly tuned agentic OCR dynamically allocates extra compute to complex elements, reviews and corrects failures, and builds semantic meaning across the page. He contends frontier models are overengineered for this task in cost and latency yet still struggle with complex edge cases.
