Anthropic just donated its Agent Skills format to the Agentic AI Foundation (the same Linux Foundation group that hosts MCP). Skills are portable folders of instructions and scripts that already work across ChatGPT, Cursor, and Copilot, not just Claude. That means less vendor lock-in for teams building production agent tooling.
Anthropic donated Agent Skills to the Agentic AI Foundation (Linux Foundation), where MCP already lives.
A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md and scripts. 70+ platforms read them (ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot), so skills you write aren't tied to one vendor.

Levels.fyi built an internal agent called Seven Bot on OpenClaw that runs on a Mac Mini and is wired into their mobile app and iOS simulator — letting engineers ship app updates straight from Slack via over-the-air deployment.
Seven Bot is our internal agent at @Levelsfyi built on @openclaw
It runs on a Mac Mini, and @adithyavis recently connected it to our mobile app, and set up the iOS simulator.
This was a small fix, but now we can pretty much ship app updates from Slack via OTA 🔥
Replit Agent's backend infra now handles ~25,000 durable actions per second per cell after migrating from Temporal to Restate. The switch uses inline durable steps and long-lived 'virtual object' sessions to support agent subagents and approval workflows across tens of cells in Replit's cloud.
Replit Agent switched from Temporal to Restate for three main reasons
- Lower latency and cost efficiency:
Restate executes durable steps inline, adding just a few milliseconds of overhead per step. This allows Replit to make thousands of operations durable without the overhead of scheduling each one as a separate activity.
- Unique building blocks for stateful, concurrent agents:
Virtual Objects and Durable Coroutines simplify coordinating long-lived agent sessions, parallel subagents, user steering, approvals, and cancellation, and make the architecture easier to extend.
- Restate BYOC:
Fully managed deployments in Replit's own cloud account keep sensitive data private and support both its multi-tenant cloud stack and dedicated enterprise offerings.
With Restate, Replit can use fast, durable execution inside the agent loop, giving them a simpler, more resilient architecture.
Replit now runs tens of Restate cells across regions and availability zones, and handled a major promotional traffic spike of nearly 25 000 durable actions per second per cell a few weeks after migration.

A new scan called KnotScryer found 612 insecure combinations hidden among 13,598 ClawHub skills that individual scanners had already labeled 'safe.' Nearly 14% of the risky compositions were built entirely from skills that a single-skill scanner cleared — meaning per-skill checks miss danger that only appears when skills are chained together. Operators should add human review gates on send/run actions, not just skill-level scans. arxiv.org/abs/2610.32155
Oracle says the number of its Fusion AI agents actually running in production nearly tripled this year, from about 1,250 in May to roughly 3,700 now — a 55% jump in September alone. The figures come from Oracle's Investor Day alongside OCI revenue up 121% last quarter.
$ORCL - Oracle Investor Day highlights:
🤖 Fusion AI agents in production: ~1,250 → ~3,700 since May (+55% in Sept alone)
☁️ OCI revenue +121% last quarter
📦 $664B backlog, up $209B in a year
💰 Message to investors: "Disciplined capital allocation"
Oracle Stock down 50% from June. Business up triple digits.
Utah gave Claude Code to 34 developers across 10 state agencies in a pilot. 80% were up and running within 30 minutes, and 71% reported saving 20+ hours of work over the four-week trial. The rollout is tied to an expanded GSA OneGov deal at 40% off list price.
A 50-60 person company called Runlayer runs more than 300 AI agents a day by routing all of them through one central gateway. Trained classifiers watch every session and tool call for attacks, excessive permissions, task drift, and sudden cost spikes — letting a small team safely operate agents at that scale.

An AI agent retried a single failing tool call 31,000 times overnight and burned through $4,700 in API costs before anyone noticed. The retries ran unattended from 1:12am to 6:50am on a customer's $400/month plan, and the startup ended up eating the bill. The lesson: hard per-customer spend caps, not just retry limits, are needed to stop runaway agent loops.
an ai agent burned $4,700 while its startup slept:
> a tool kept returning an error
> agent retried 31,000 times, 1:12am to 6:50am
> customer was on a $400/mo plan
> startup ate most of the bill
agents dont get tired
whats your hard cap per customer?

OpenClaw is building an open-source 'Enterprise' control plane that lets companies run fleets of AI agents with isolated permissions, audit logs, and enforced policy — separating trusted systems from the untrusted agents/tools touching them, similar to how Kubernetes manages workloads. It's pre-1.0, with pilots reportedly underway involving Red Hat and NVIDIA.
What is OpenClaw Enterprise, and why does it matter?
@heyneighbor sat down with @kevins8 to talk about:

Infisical, an open-source tool for managing secrets and access for developers and AI agents, is now used by more than 1,300 organizations including Airbus, Hugging Face, and the US Government. Its Agent Vault feature lets AI agents call outside services through a proxy that hands them fake credentials and swaps in the real ones behind the scenes — so an agent never actually sees your API keys or passwords.
Congrats to @matsiiako, @dangtony98, @maidulll and @infisical (W23) on their $40M Series B!
Infisical is the open source security infrastructure that manages API keys, passwords, and certificates for developers, machines, and AI agents.
When an AI agent needs access to a sensitive system, Infisical hands it a fake credential and swaps in the real one through a proxy. The agent does its job without ever seeing the actual key.
More than 1,300 organizations use the platform, including Airbus, Hugging Face, and the US Government, and they just passed 30,000 stars on GitHub.

OpenAI's forward-deployed engineering team took 10+ chip-verification use cases at one customer into production, then found a way to cut 90% of the custom code by turning it into reusable Codex skills on a shared harness. The first deployment took 2 months; the next team's deployment took 1 day.
OpenAI's head of forward-deployed engineering: about 15 engineers took 10+ chip-verification use cases to production at one customer, then moved them onto one shared Codex harness as skills and plugins and removed about 90% of each project's custom code. In an August case, the first deployment took 2 months and the second team 1 day.
Anthropic's applied team, the same day: one agent loading skills frequently beat subagents on quality, often at lower cost and latency.
My read: let the first build be custom, because that is where you learn the work. Before giving each department its own subagent, I would test its instructions as skills in one loop.
A Meta engineering team's single do-everything AI agent broke down as it took on more work: it mixed up coding conventions and hallucinated changes in pull requests. Switching to a thin orchestrator that routes tasks to specialized subagents cut column-configuration work from 3-4 days to under an hour.
The instinct of many teams is to build a single agent loaded with documentation for every subsystem. In demos it may look great, in production not so much.
The engineering team at Meta found the single agent collapsed under context bloat. It routinely mixed up coding conventions, hallucinations crept into PRs and the system became brittle.
Their solution was a thin orchestrator with specialized subagents across 20 workflows. Only the delegated task uses LLM reasoning. Selecting and invoking the subagent remains deterministic.
Execution ordering lives in separate workflow templates that sequence subagents based on the objective. When the team needed to support full pipeline migrations, they did not retrain a model or write new agent code. They wrote a new declarative template reusing the existing subagent pool.
Configuration prep for a new data column went from 3 to 4 days to under an hour.
If a routing decision can be expressed as an if statement or regex then keep it in deterministic code. Save the LLM for the actual code synthesis inside isolated, specific subagents.

Rescale built an AI agent to triage its nightly flood of failed automated tests, which used to be sorted by hand. Agreement between the agent's classification and human reviewers rose from 44% to 68%, and time lost to blocked weekly production deployments fell 20%. The agent (built on Strands Agents with Claude Opus on AWS Bedrock) went from staging to production in weeks, with humans still validating its calls rather than acting fully autonomously.
Rescale engineers were stuck classifying hundreds of nightly end-to-end test failures by hand. Every alert meant pulling logs, matching historical patterns, and routing the issue before debugging could start. At scale this became a full-time job inside the on-call rotation.
They built an AI triage agent with Strands Agents and the AI-Driven Development Lifecycle (AI-DLC) framework on AWS. The agent runs inside their existing Argo Workflows pipeline on Amazon EKS. When tests fail it classifies the root cause, pulls historical failure patterns from a knowledge base, queries pod logs through MCP, and returns a structured remediation report with specific file references and recommended fixes. Classification uses Claude Opus on Amazon Bedrock. The team went from problem definition to a working agent in staging in five days and reached production within weeks.
In production the agent now handles first-pass triage. Classification agreement with human engineers rose from 44% to 68%. Time spent blocking weekly production deployments dropped 20%. Engineers validate the output instead of starting from raw logs.
AI-DLC kept the process structured. AI generates plans and code. Humans answer clarifying questions, approve decisions, and stay accountable for the result. The same approach is now being applied to other engineering work at Rescale.

A former pest-control operator in Ocala, FL (@ArkStabler) is now setting up OpenClaw AI agents for roofing and pool-building businesses, including one contractor agent named Delilah. Follow-up details from the operator cover how they keep it running reliably: markdown-based memory, database access routed only through a gateway, a pinned Node version, and nightly health checks.
OpenClaw Hero @ArkStabler was doing pest control in Ocala, Florida nine months ago.
Now he sets up OpenClaw agents for roofers, pool builders and a contractor with an agent named Delilah.
Listen to his story here:
A builder running a live site-generation agent pipeline shared real cost numbers: three runs of the same pipeline cost $1.78 (599 steps), $0.98 (461 steps), and $0.57 (274 steps). The biggest single fix: their manager agent was re-reading a 320-line instruction file on every step, which cost $1.15 alone — cutting that down to not re-reading dropped its cost to $0.09.
Robinhood says about 200,000 customers have opened AI agent trading accounts since the September launch, driving more than $1.6B in trading volume. CEO Vlad Tenev says he runs his own version, 'VladBot,' day to day.
ABOUT 200,000 ROBINHOOD $HOOD CUSTOMERS HAVE NOW OPENED AI AGENT TRADING ACCOUNTS
Those Agentic Trading Accounts have already driven more than $1.6 billion in trading volume, per Robinhood's Q3 report today.
That's about $8,000 traded per account, and the product only launched at Robinhood's HOOD Summit in September.
CEO Vlad Tenev is one of those users. He told Gav Blaxberg he has his own AI agent trading for him while he sleeps.
"In my own personal trading, I've got my agent going as I sleep. VladBot is the name."
"Agentic trading is kind of like agentic coding. It's the next evolution. It's writing code, but for trading."
Notion rebuilt its AI agent four times before it worked, says exec Akshay Kothari. Attempt 1: a custom model with reinforcement-learning iteration was too slow and got abandoned. Attempt 2: better models but overly ambitious scope, also killed. The fix: restart with trivially simple, reliable actions (like 'put the word ‘the’ on this page') and expand from there as models caught up.
Notion had to build its AI agent four different times. Akshay Kothari on what broke each time:
"The first time, I think we were trying to do custom model with RL and it was just like the iteration speed was too slow... So I think we sort of gave up on that.
The second time we were like, oh, the model capability is much better. But I think we overshot ourselves in terms of the ambition of what we're trying to create. And so then we had to like shut down that one too.
Then we decided, okay, like, let's just start with very basic. I'm going to say, hey, agent, put the word the on this page right here. Can you do that? Can you do that reliably?
Just because it didn't work a year ago doesn't mean you shouldn't try again, because you could try the same exact thing, but the capability is now ready for it to work."

A supply-chain attack called ClawHavoc hit ClawHub, the OpenClaw skills marketplace: 341 of 2,857 listed skills (about 12%) were found malicious, and more than 9,000 OpenClaw installs were compromised. If you install OpenClaw skills in production, audit and pin your skill versions now.
A voice-avatar platform called ARIA that was expected to take 8–12 months with 6 senior engineers instead shipped in 8 weeks, says founder Dr. Tali Rezun. The team used 400+ AI agents orchestrated through Augment, producing 3 apps, 17,000 lines of code, and 367 commits, with the live system responding in about 480ms.
A founder I know runs a company with 500+ people. Most of them are devs.
He had an idea to test. It went in the queue, competed with the people keeping the current products alive, and came back estimated. Six senior developers. Eight months minimum. Realistically a year.
Reasonable for a validated product. A terrible way to find out if an idea should exist at all.
So he asked me.
Eight weeks later, ARIA. A real-time voice avatar platform with a live lip-synced face, deployed. 3 apps, 17k lines, 14 technical docs, about 480 ms to respond once a session is live.
I didn't write the code. 400+ AI agents did, directed through roughly 300 orchestrator sessions in @augmentcode #intent. 367 commits.
Wrote the whole case study. What worked, what broke, what it cost, what I'd do differently.
