I'm excited to announce that The White House will be doing a Global Accessibility Awareness Day (#GAAD) Event and Town Hall tomorrow at 10AM EST. Links to Livestream and Access Streamtext in the comments. Thanks @WhiteHouseOPE46! From blog post to The White House. 🤯

@pvncher Ah there it is! Sweet.

@joedevon For Claude, right now no, other mcps get disabled, which I have to expose controls for. With codex by default they’re off but you can turn them on in the tools ui menu in the input composer.

RepoPrompt question. If I want to use the RP Agent, and add my favorite accessibility MCP server to the session, @pvncher, how would I do it? If I add it to CC or Codex in that project and select those harness in RP, will the RP agent inherit them?

Seeing a lot of renewed interest in Kimi K2.5, so we're making it free for Trial, Pro, Teams, and Max users for the next 7 days!

New preprint, memory in Xenobots! First round of our efforts to understand behavioral properties of novel beings (Xenobots, Anthrobots, and more). @pai_vaibhav , James A. Traer, Megan M. Sperry, Yuxin Zheng biorxiv.org/content/10.648… "Behavioral, Physiological, and Transcriptional Mechanisms of Memory in a Synthetic Living Construct" "Synthetic living constructs, which lack the long histories of selection in ecological contexts that shape behaviors of conventional organisms, offer an important complement to traditional studies of learning. Could novel biobots exhibit sensing and memory of experiences? Here, we investigated the effects of chemical stimuli on basal Xenobots – autonomously motile entities derived from Xenopus embryonic ectodermal explants (with no additional sculpting or bioengineering). We quantified and characterized the coordinated ciliary activity that generates fluid flow fields guiding the trajectory of Xenobot motion. We also show distinct and specific changes in Xenobot behavior after brief exposure to Xenopus embryonic cell extract and to ATP. These two experiences produced distinct, long-term, stimulus-specific memories, detectable through both transcriptional and physiological signatures. Exposure to specific environmental stimuli induced alterations in the spatiotemporal patterns of calcium signaling across Xenobots. Together, these data lay a foundation for characterizing the capabilities of synthetic cellular collectives to sense and discriminate among stimuli, as well as store functional information in a non-neural context. Understanding behavioral competencies in novel, non-neural systems have broad implications across evolutionary biology, behavioral science, bioengineering, and bio/hybrid robotics."

composer 2 is kimi k2.5 with RL. the IDE is vscode. authorized or not, the entire $50B product is built on open source foundations other people created. nothing wrong with building on open source. that's what it's for. but the people training these models should be getting more credit and more money than a wrapper company that evaluated base models and picked the best one.

@acolombiadev @punkpeye Epic!

This is one of the clearest write‑ups I’ve seen of “AI agents vs open source reality.” Awesome MPC Server Maintainer @punkpeye quietly prompt‑injected their CONTRIBUTING.md and 50–70% of incoming PRs self‑identified as bots. Some are helpful. Some lie about passing checks just to get merged. Worth your time if you care about OSS maintenance: glama.ai/blog/2026-03-1…

Ever wonder what a nervous system would look like if it self-assembled inside a novel being that hadn't faced a history of selection for its organism-level form and function? Or, perhaps you wondered how #Xenobots would look and act, or what their transcriptome would be like, if they had nervous systems? Well, here's the first step: advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10… "Engineered Living Systems With Self-Organizing NeuralNetworks: From Anatomy to Behavior and Gene Expression" Our awesome team: led by @halehf: @LaurieONeill99, @mmsperry, @LPiolopez, @DrPatrickE, and Tiffany Lin. The @TuftsUniversity and @wyssinstitute press releases are here, for summaries: now.tufts.edu/2026/03/16/sci… wyss.harvard.edu/news/toward-au…

I’m excited to share that I will be joining @demishassabis and @GoogleDeepMind as Chief Strategy Officer! I feel a moral obligation to shepherd AGI into the world responsibly, benefiting everyone. I am looking forward to doing this with the team at DeepMind.

The PM playbook was built on an assumption that the technology underneath your product is roughly stable With the current pace of model progress, this is no longer true. Here's how we've evolved the PM role:

We've evaluated a lot of base models on perplexity-based evals and Kimi k2.5 proved to be the strongest! After that, we do continued pre-training and high-compute RL (a 4x scale-up). The combination of the strong base, CPT and RL, and Fireworks' inference and RL samplers make Composer-2 frontier level. It was a miss to not mention the Kimi base in our blog from the start. We'll fix that for the next model.

@GergelyOrosz I'd add that it became an uproar because they got caught. And it wasn't the first time.

In both cases, the only reason any of this is addressed is due to uproar from the community (for Composer 2.0) / customers (for the price hike that is still not shared in public or in a transparent way) Trust is hard to gain, easy to lose and both these decisions do lose trust

Cursor keeps showing poor judgment with comms - behaving not like a $10B+ company, but like an early-stage startup Hikes prices for many enterprise customers without notice, or comms or transparency Big bang Composer 2.0 release w/o sharing that it's based on Kimi 2.5

@vlelyavin @Kimi_Moonshot @cursor_ai yup

@Kimi_Moonshot @cursor_ai this is the most graceful "we caught you and our lawyers talked" statement i've ever read ngl

Congrats to the @cursor_ai team on the launch of Composer 2! We are proud to see Kimi-k2.5 provide the foundation. Seeing our model integrated effectively through Cursor's continued pretraining & high-compute RL training is the open model ecosystem we love to support. Note: Cursor accesses Kimi-k2.5 via @FireworksAI_HQ ' hosted RL and inference platform as part of an authorized commercial partnership.

Since people really want me to say this: "KIMI K2.5" ‼️ Yes, that is the base we started from. And we are following the license through inference partner terms (e.g. Fireworks) I'm thankful for OSS models personally, good for the ecosystem.

@neogoose_btw @Shreyassanthu77 Hmm, maybe we just vpn into Silicon Valley? Will that work?

@Shreyassanthu77 😭

I just want to remind the rest of the world: every single AI company here in Silicon Valley get tokens for absolutely free rn It’s only you paying those 200$ for max plan

I'm so addicted to the new pinokio. I could never use ComfyUi, before, and the more in-depth & complicated workflows you could do in pinokio were a headache for my non-visual brain. Now I just tell Claude Code what I want, and it uses all the pinokio models & apps for me. 🤯

I guess today is "livestream my meetings day" lol. "Structure of a research paper: The abstract is your elevator pitch. The introduction is your lightning talk. The rest of the paper is your deck."
