Day 9 testimony in Musk v. Altman: Satya Nadella's April 2022 email said 'I don't want to be IBM and OpenAI to be Microsoft.'
Nadella cited the need for 'real agency at every layer of the stack' — the framing behind Microsoft's own model lineup and the diversified OpenAI compute pacts.
Sam Altman on the stand May 12 rejected Musk's 'stole a charity' theory: the nonprofit was 'left for dead' when Musk walked.
Week 1 already produced Musk's admission that xAI distills OpenAI models; trial in Oakland continues.

Rust + Tauri desktop agent: 5.6K stars total, +1.7K in the last day, GPL-3.0 licensed, still labelled early beta.
118+ OAuth connectors auto-fetch Gmail, Notion, GitHub, Slack, Stripe, Calendar, Drive, Linear, and Jira every 20 minutes into a local Markdown 'memory tree' (Karpathy-style wiki).
A Purkinje-cell-inspired 'Neocortex' fires random memory recalls in the background so the agent keeps acting on standing tasks even when you stop typing.
Ships with a desktop mascot that joins Google Meets as a participant; smart routing sends reasoning to a frontier model, vision to a vision model, easy tasks to a cheap one.

Jesse Vincent's plugin installs 14 composable skills — brainstorming, writing-plans, executing-plans, TDD, git-worktrees — that trigger automatically inside Claude Code.
Subagent-driven development dispatches a fresh subagent per task with a two-stage review (spec compliance, then code quality).
Marketed claim: Claude runs autonomously for a couple of hours without leaving the plan; install via `/plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official`.
+1.4K stars in a day on the back of mattpocock/skills' run; another data point that the SKILL.md pattern is consolidating into a de-facto standard.

Drop-in persistent memory server for Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode — anything that speaks MCP or HTTP shares the same memory.
Hybrid BM25+vector retrieval scores 95.2% on LongMemEval (ICLR 2025) vs. 96.6% pure-vector and 86.2% BM25 alone — vectors add +9pp to BM25.
Extends Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern with confidence scoring, lifecycle, and a knowledge graph; ships a token-savings calculator (`npx @agentmemory/agentmemory status`).
+1.4K stars in a day; sits alongside obra/superpowers on GitHub Trending as the 'long-running coding agent' stack matures.

Korean studio Supertone bumps its ONNX TTS from 5 to 31 languages while staying at ~99M parameters — an order of magnitude below 0.7B–2B open baselines.
Runs faster on CPU than larger baselines measured on A100, with browser inference via onnxruntime-web and bindings for Python, JS, and iOS.
Adds expressive tags (laughs, breaths, sighs) and reports fewer repeat/skip failures than v2.
+0.9K stars in a day on GitHub Trending; weights live on the Supertone Hugging Face org.
