AI infra just got a standard. CNCF launched the Kubernetes AI Conformance Program, and @puja.dev was part of the group that helped define it.

Giant Swarm is now one of the first certified platforms.
Infrastructure for AI is finally getting a standard » Giant Swarm
AI infrastructure just got simpler. Giant Swarm is officially CNCF-certified to run AI/ML workloads on Kubernetes.

This is not yet another context engineering guide, this is actually technical and gives best-practices around what to be careful around context when building agents both to get good results but also to be cost effective manus.im/blog/Context...
Context Engineering for AI Agents: Lessons from Building Manus
This post shares the local optima Manus arrived at through our own "SGD". If you're building your own AI agent, we hope these principles help you converge faster.

Indeed, they are not, and they don't need to be to be useful. Still, good to remind yourself that they are not and that they have significant limitations. - LLMs aren’t world models yosefk.com/blog/llms-ar...

I kinda liked the idea of staying with MCP but behind the MCP not having the tool directly, but a specialized agent that works with the tool and offers the benefits of an agent (which the blog post also lists) devblogs.microsoft.com/blog/can-you...

AI agents have brand “preferences” and are attracted to different kinds of ads (right now, Operator is a fan of buying whatever Bing advertises, Claude has different preferences)

There is likely going to be a lot of money spent trying to influence this in the nearish future.

Shout out to the one and only @castrojo.bsky.social. I just installed my first projectbluefin.io on a miniPC I had lying around and I gotta say it's the first time in a while I've been enjoying a Linux distro. Everything makes tons of sense and the defaults are great 🙏
