In this tutorial, we build a lightweight personal AI agent inspired by the core architecture of nanobot, while keeping every part understandable and runnable in Google Colab. We start from the provider abstraction, then move through tool registration, session memory, lifecycle hooks, skills, and an MCP-style tool server. As we progress, we do not just use an external agent framework; we recreate the core building blocks ourselves so we can clearly see how messages, tools, memory, and model resp
This tutorial demonstrates how to build a lightweight AI agent inspired by nanobot architecture that runs entirely in Google Colab without requiring external frameworks or API keys. The agent combines several core components: a provider abstraction layer that normalizes communication with language models, tool calling that allows the model to request specific functions, session memory that retains conversation history, and MCP-style tool servers. The tutorial recreates these building blocks from scratch so readers can understand how messages, tools, memory, and model responses interact within a working agent loop.

When confronted with cancer, Connor Christou fed everything tied tied to his regime — blood results, scan data, wearable output, journal entries — into Claude.

Meta released Astryx this week. It is an open-source design system, currently in Beta. The project grew inside Meta’s monorepo over eight years. Astryx is built on React and StyleX. StyleX is Meta’s compile-time CSS engine. TL;DR Astryx is Meta’s open-source, agent-ready React design system, now in Beta. It pairs StyleX styling with a CSS-variable theme cascade and ten themes. A CLI and MCP server lets AI agents scaffold and document UIs. It is production-teste

In this tutorial, we explore the Open-SWE-Traces dataset as a practical resource for studying and preparing agentic software-engineering trajectories for fine-tuning. We stream the dataset directly from Hugging Face, so we can work with a large dataset efficiently in Google Colab without downloading everything locally. We inspect individual records, normalize multi-turn agent conversations, parse final code patches, extract useful metadata, and build an analysis DataFrame to understand trajecto
