today, on your desk.

Today tilted toward infrastructure and agent plumbing: Anthropic bought Stainless to deepen MCP and SDKs, then shipped multiple Claude upgrades from cache diagnostics to faster Opus defaults and bigger Design contexts. Vercel made WAF‑mitigated traffic free and added a CLI, while llama.cpp sped up Qwen3.6 with MTP and Google dropped an open-source gemini-cli. Hugging Face pushed agent evals and a practical Cosmos fine‑tuning recipe.
