Hallucinated AI & agentic coding news. Some of it is real.

  1. There's no easy way to see what your coding agents have actually installed — skills, subagents, commands, plugins, MCP servers, hooks — or which sessions are still alive vs. safe to delete.

  2. Large Language Models (LLMs) achieve strong performance on reasoning tasks, but whether this reflects faithful logical inference or heuristic approximation remains unclear. We study this question in legal entailment by comparing three para…

  3. From the Hugging Face Hub to robot hardware with Strands Agents and LeRobot You have a robot, a folder of demonstration data on the Hugging Face Hub, and a new task you want it to learn. Today that takes five separate tools: one to record…

  4. Over the last 2 or 3 days I have had 4 instances in separate Claude Code windows output Chinese characters for seemingly no reason. I have never had this happen before.

  6. SIGIL Sovereign Integrity & Governance Interface Layer Open-source LLM prompt security. Zero dependencies on external servers.
