DeepSeek Open-Sources dsh-superagent, a Router-Worker Coding Agent
The DeepSeek Harness team just released dsh-superagent, an MIT-licensed research prototype. DeepSeek dsh-superagent is a proactive coding agent for one GitHub repository. It is packaged as a bundle for DeepSeek Harness. It listens to GitHub and, optionally, Feishu. It turns allowed requests into parallel work items, each in its own agent session. The release shipped alongside a design post, Exploring Super-agent Design: Towards a More Autonomous Agent System. TL;DaR What is it?: A TypeSc
Get smart on it
DeepSeek released dsh-superagent, an open-source coding agent that uses a router-worker architecture to manage multiple parallel work sessions for GitHub repositories. The system separates a long-running router that handles interactions and dispatch from isolated worker sessions that execute actual tasks, allowing it to manage multiple requests simultaneously rather than processing them sequentially. In simulated testing with synthetic messages, the system completed tasks significantly faster than a single-session baseline, finishing at a p95 time of 15.7 minutes compared to 29.5 minutes. The agent is gated to require authorization before taking proactive action and runs locally as a DeepSeek Harness profile with specific dependency requirements.

Google Deepmind creates a global map of forests with satellite data and AI
Google Deepmind and the World Resources Institute have released ForTy, a global map that classifies forests and other land into six categories, including primary forest, plantations, and tree crops. The map could help track deforestation under EU rules, but it identifies only about half of planted forests and tree-crop areas, and 60% of plantations.

Meet Factory Droid 1.0: A Model-Independent Coding Agent Harness Built on Script Mode
Factory has released Droid 1.0, the largest update yet to the Factory Droid agent harness. The main change is programmatic tool calling, now on by default. The model writes a program that runs its tools. One model request can now drive hundreds of tool calls. TL;DR Size: Base prompt is 13,055 input tokens, down 37% from 20,887. Only 2 tool definitions ship up front, down from 11. Runs on: macOS and Windows desktop app, a terminal UI, and the Node SDK @factory/droid-sdk. Works with any

Sam Altman sympathizes with mathematicians, but says OpenAI’s math onslaught won’t stop
After months of bombarding mathematicians with a relentless stream of AI-generated results, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says he sympathizes with researchers struggling to make sense of it all. But he has no intention of stopping - and hints there could be much more to come from the company's stockpile of discoveries. "I think, on net, the world deserves to understand how the universe works," Altman said during an episode of the Cheeky Pint podcast released Thursday. "But I do have e
AI agents cut critical research time for humanitarian teams in conflict zones
Humanitarian groups working in conflict zones are finding that agentic AI can shorten the research cycle between a crisis and an informed response. Cloudera Inc. has built its AI strategy around deployment flexibility, and one nonprofit partner is testing that approach on the front lines. But the aim is to give analysts a faster starting […] The post AI agents cut critical research time for humanitarian teams in conflict zones appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
