Mouse: Precision Editing Tools for AI Coding Agents

https://hic-ai.com/opengraph-image?0965d50c6d8fc51d
HIC Mouse is the most powerful AI agent file-editing tool in the world. The patent-pending technology transforms everything about working with AI. Most AI agents edit files today with one built-in tool — string replacement. They can't see proposed changes before saving or roll back changes cleanly. Mouse fixes these problems through coordinate-based editing, staged changes with atomic ...

GPT-5.5 Codex reasoning-token clustering may be leading to degraded performance

https://opengraph.githubassets.com/099e4c84e3b8a7191641778b799c670095fb15e7827f947ecb81b7c509907ec0/openai/codex/issues/30364
GPT-5.5 responses disproportionately cluster at 516 reasoning tokens with related spikes at 1034 and 1552. This pattern suggests a possible reasoning-budget or truncation behavior in GPT-5.5.

Better Models: Worse Tools

https://lucumr.pocoo.org/social/2026-07-04-better-models-worse-tools-social.png
Newer Anthropic models like Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 5 produce malformed tool calls with extra invented fields due to post-training on Claude Code's forgiving harness. This behavior is not seen in older models and may be a result of reinforcement learning optimizing for one particular tool ecology.

The Particle Box – Kinetic Molecular Theory Simulator

https://prepok.com/og/chemistry/particle-box.png
Heat, squeeze, and cool a live box of atoms to watch pressure, the speed distribution, and even melting and boiling emerge from the collisions. Kinetic theory you can play with. Everything you see is measured live from the colliding particles. Drag the controls and watch the pressure, the speed curve, and the state of matter respond. Each dot is an atom; its colour shows its speed (blue = ...

The Log Is the Agent

https://arxiv.org/static/browse/0.3.4/images/arxiv-logo-fb.png
ActiveGraph inverts the typical agent framework arrangement, with an append-only event log as the source of truth and a working graph as a deterministic projection. This design provides deterministic replay, cheap forking, and end-to-end lineage, making it well-suited for self-improving agents.

Binary Coverage the Wrong Way

Way back in the age of the dinosaurs, if you wrote a program and wanted to test that it was correct, you mostly had two choices: you could either manually construct malformed inputs and try them in succession, or hook up a program which would randomly generate inputs and try them automatically 1. Those programs were called fuzzers, or sometimes generators, and this was “fuzz testing”. It also ...
