Team Cherry is working on more Silksong content but won't say when it'll release

Only roughly 15 percent of Hollow Knight: Silksong players have earned the 100 percent completion achievement, according to SteamDB . For the remaining percentage, there may still be plenty of time to finish the game before Team Cherry announces new content for the hit side-scrolling game. As first revealed by Bloomberg 's Jason Schreier, the development team confirmed that it's working on a content update that could be similar in scale to the Hollow Knight: Godmaster DLC.

Why observable AI is the missing SRE layer enterprises need for reliable LLMs

As AI systems enter production, reliability and governance can’t depend on wishful thinking. Here’s how observability turns large language models (LLMs) into auditable, trustworthy enterprise systems. Why observability secures the future of enterprise AI The enterprise race to deploy LLM systems mirrors the early days of cloud adoption. Executives love the promise; compliance demands accountability; engineers just want a paved road. Yet, beneath the excitement, most leaders admit they can

Anthropic says it solved the long-running AI agent problem with a new multi-session Claude SDK

Agent memory remains a problem that enterprises want to fix, as agents forget some instructions or conversations the longer they run.  Anthropic believes it has solved this issue for its Claude Agent SDK , developing a two-fold solution that allows an agent to work across different context windows. “The core challenge of long-running agents is that they must work in discrete sessions, and each new session begins with no memory of what came before,” Anthropic wrote in a blog post . “B

What to be thankful for in AI in 2025

Hello, dear readers. Happy belated Thanksgiving and Black Friday! This year has felt like living inside a permanent DevDay. Every week, some lab drops a new model, a new agent framework, or a new “this changes everything” demo. It’s overwhelming. But it’s also the first year I’ve felt like AI is finally diversifying — not just one or two frontier models in the cloud, but a whole ecosystem: open and closed, giant and tiny, Western and Chinese, cloud and local. So for this Thanksgiving edition,

Beyond math and coding: New RL framework helps train LLM agents for complex, real-world tasks

Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have developed a new reinforcement learning (RL) framework that helps train large language models (LLMs) for complex agentic tasks beyond well-defined problems such as math and coding.  Their framework, Agent-R1 , is compatible with popular RL algorithms and shows considerable improvement on reasoning tasks that require multiple retrieval stages and multi-turn interactions with tools.  The framework is built on a redefinitio

A weekend ‘vibe code’ hack by Andrej Karpathy quietly sketches the missing layer of enterprise AI orchestration

This weekend, Andrej Karpathy , the former director of AI at Tesla and a founding member of OpenAI, decided he wanted to read a book. But he did not want to read it alone. He wanted to read it accompanied by a committee of artificial intelligences, each offering its own perspective, critiquing the others, and eventually synthesizing a final answer under the guidance of a "Chairman." To make this happen, Karpathy wrote what he called a " vibe code project " — a piece of soft
