1/ 🪐 🌐 Just shipped: Jupyter Embed!

What if adding a live Python cell to your docs was as easy as adding an image?

Now it is. 🧵

I've added a tree view to pick files in Toad. 🐸

Fuzzy searching is great when you know what you're looking for. But a tree view is more natural when you want to look through your files.

Toad is a unified interface for agentic coding, and all things AI, in your terminal.

1.5 days with #AI instead of maybe 1.5 weeks: Vite.js support and a revamped Jupyter React examples. AI is redefining software development timelines.

Devil’s in the details. This is why you’ll see a spinner in the VS Code runtime launcher while the remote runtime spins up.

Vercel AI SDK 6 is official released. The details are on vercel.com/blog/ai-sdk-6

The feature I prefer is the Tool Improvements and the needsApproval option that allows to force user approval on the first tool usage.

OAuth for MCP is also awesome feature.
AI SDK 6 - Vercel
Introducing agents, tool execution approval, DevTools, full MCP support, reranking, image editing, and more.

Datalayer is joining the AgentX AgentBeats challenge! 🥊

To benchmark our data agent, we "agentified" DABench using the A2A protocol. The setup uses Pydantic AI and our Jupyter MCP Server.

We think A2A + MCP is the future of agent interoperability. 🤝

The Datalayer VS Code extension is here. It brings a Notion-style editor (built on Lexical) right into your Jupyter environment.

Just code, write, and explain in one place.
It's open source 👐 and integrated with Copilot 🤖.

Just tried Toad, the new #ACP terminal client for #AIAgents by
@willmcgugan.bsky.social (creator of Rich/Textual) — super promising approach to connecting local & remote agents. A few UX bumps (SPACE to start chat not obvious, needed restarts), but overall excited.

🚀 Datalayer Notebooks ❤️ #Copilotkit

Copilotkit now plugs into React-based Jupyter Notebooks — an LLM that can read, edit & run code.

Open protocols = open data ecosystems.
