OpenCode 2.0: the AI coding agent became a service — what changed

OpenCode 2.0 is a major overhaul of the most popular open-source coding agent (208K stars, 16M developers a month). The key change: the agent now runs as a persistent background service that the terminal, desktop app, and web UI all connect to. Plus hot-reloadable plugins, worktree tools, and 75+ model providers.

Liquid AI's LFM2.5-24B-A2B: 24B parameters, 2B active — agents move on-device

Liquid AI released LFM2.5-24B-A2B, a reasoning model with 24B parameters of which only 2B are active per token. It beats Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on five of eight agentic benchmarks, runs at 184 tokens/s on an Apple M5 Max, and is small enough to live on a laptop. Here's what it changes for local agents.

Apple's Minions: a GPU cloud built from idle Macs — how it works

Apple published Minions: an internal system that aggregates idle Apple Silicon GPUs across employees' Macs into a distributed inference cloud. GPU queue times dropped from 10+ hours to minutes, with zero hardware purchases. We break down the architecture from the paper.

Gemini 4 Argon: Google's new flagship — a million tokens and overnight agent runs

Gemini 4 Argon launched on October 13: Google's flagship reasoning model with a 1M-token context window. Pricing before and after December 1, availability gaps, and a close look at the headline case: an 11-hour unattended run over a 200,000-line codebase.

Why your AI agent forgets your project (and what to do about it)

AI agents forget projects for three reasons: the window resets between sessions, compaction cuts the middle, no state layer. Diagnose your case, pick a fix.

We measured the cost of re-explaining context: −43% tokens

Every new AI-agent session starts with re-explaining the project. We measured that ritual in tokens: memory cuts the starting context by 1.4–3.3×. Honest numbers, methodology, caveats.
