Claude Code v2.1.63 ships a significant change to how you hook into the agent lifecycle: shell-based hooks are out, HTTP webhooks are in. If you’ve been using hooks in your Claude Code pipeline, this guide walks through the migration and shows you why the new pattern is worth the effort. Why HTTP Hooks? The old shell hook model had a fundamental problem: crossing the shell boundary destroyed structure. You serialized data to a string, passed it through a shell command, and parsed it back out on the other side. Every step introduced escaping issues, subprocess overhead, and opportunities for silent failure. ...

At MWC 2026 in Barcelona, Huawei made a move that the agentic AI builder community should pay attention to: the company announced the open-source release of A2A-T — an Agent-to-Agent protocol purpose-built for telecom infrastructure. It’s the first time a Tier-1 carrier equipment vendor has put its weight behind a standardized inter-agent communication protocol. Important caveat up front: this is a press announcement from Huawei at an industry conference. The open-source repository details are sparse, and multiple reports frame this as “to be released during MWC” rather than live-now. Verify availability before building on it. ...

If you’ve been running OpenClaw on your host machine and quietly wondering what happens if an agent goes sideways, NanoClaw is the answer you’ve been looking for. This guide walks you through the basics of setting up NanoClaw — the new containerized OpenClaw alternative from Gavriel Cohen — so your agents run with minimal permissions and your host system stays protected. What You’ll Need Docker installed and running (Docker Engine 24+ or Docker Desktop) Node.js 18+ (for the NanoClaw CLI) An existing OpenClaw config or familiarity with SOUL.md/USER.md concepts About 20 minutes Step 1: Install NanoClaw npm install -g nanoclaw Verify the install: ...

The way software gets written is changing faster than most engineering managers have updated their mental models. Anthropic’s reported 2026 agentic coding report — covered this morning by Bitcoin.com and ClubLaura.com — puts numbers to a shift that practitioners have been feeling for months. The headline figure: Claude Code is reportedly writing approximately 135,000 GitHub commits per day. That number deserves unpacking — and a caveat. Transparency note: This story is sourced from secondary journalism coverage (Bitcoin.com, ClubLaura.com). The underlying Anthropic report URL was not independently located at publication time. The 135K commits/day figure is cited in both secondary sources as attributed to Anthropic, but has not been independently verified by this publication. We’re reporting it as Anthropic’s claimed data, not as confirmed fact. ...

MiniMax just opened the floodgates. This morning, the Chinese AI lab officially open-sourced its entire M2 model family — M2, M2.1, and M2.5 — along with the Forge RL training framework that built them. All weights are on HuggingFace. All code is on GitHub. And the models are already designed to drop into the agent workflows you’re likely already using. This is a big deal. Here’s what you need to know. ...

The Summer Yue inbox-deletion incident. The OpenClaw WebSocket zero-click vulnerability. A series of agent sandboxing failures that made headlines through late 2025 and into 2026. These weren’t edge cases — they were warnings. Gavriel Cohen, a software engineer based in Israel, has been paying attention. Today, he’s shipping an answer: NanoClaw, a containerized OpenClaw alternative that puts security architecture first, not as an afterthought. What Is NanoClaw? NanoClaw is an open-source agent platform inspired by OpenClaw — but built from the ground up to run agents inside Docker containers with minimal permissions. The design philosophy is simple: agents shouldn’t have access to more of your system than they actually need to do their jobs. ...

If you’re running OpenClaw on your laptop or personal workstation, SkyPilot has a clear message: stop. Not because OpenClaw is malicious — it isn’t. But because an AI agent with full local system access is a significant attack surface, and a compromised agent on your main machine can reach your SSH keys, API credentials, browser cookies, personal files, and every other application running on that system. SkyPilot’s detailed isolation guide published this week makes a compelling case for moving OpenClaw to an isolated cloud VM — and shows you exactly how to do it. Here’s a practical walkthrough. ...

While the AI industry spent much of February debating red lines and App Store rankings, Samsung Electronics quietly dropped one of the biggest announcements of the year: by 2030, every Samsung factory on the planet will be run by agentic AI. Not partially. Not in a pilot program. All of them. The MWC 2026 Announcement Samsung unveiled its “AI-Driven Factories” strategy at Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona on Saturday, publishing the full plan simultaneously on the Samsung Global Newsroom. The scope is extraordinary: ...

When Anthropic drew its line against autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, the response came from an unexpected quarter: the employees of its competitors. More than 200 people currently working at Google, DeepMind, and OpenAI signed an open letter published Thursday calling on their own employers to “put aside their differences and stand together” in refusing Pentagon demands for unrestricted AI use in autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance programs. The letter — confirmed by TechCrunch, Forbes, Axios, and the New York Times — represents one of the most significant cross-company acts of worker solidarity in AI history. ...

Dario Amodei doesn’t blink easily. In an exclusive CBS News interview published Saturday morning, the Anthropic CEO laid out his position on the Pentagon dispute with the kind of calm, methodical clarity you’d expect from a former OpenAI research director — and the kind of conviction you’d expect from someone who actually means what he says. “We won’t move on our red lines,” Amodei told CBS. The interview, which includes both a full video and written article, has since been widely cited across Fortune, Newsweek, and Business Insider as the clearest and most authoritative statement yet from Anthropic’s leadership on the ongoing feud with the U.S. Department of Defense. ...
