Heterogeneous Scientific Foundation Model Collaboration
191 upvotes · Li et al. · Paper
Eywa is an agentic framework that connects language models with domain-specific foundation models across scientific fields, allowing LLMs to coordinate specialized models for physics, biology, and social sciences. Unlike traditional LLM systems limited to language interfaces, Eywa enables reasoning over non-linguistic data by augmenting scientific foundation models with language-based coordination. The system can operate as a single agent replacement or integrate into multi-agent architectures, with experimental results showing improved performance on structured scientific data tasks while reducing reliance on purely language-based reasoning.
GLM-5V-Turbo: Toward a Native Foundation Model for Multimodal Agents
90 upvotes · V Team et al. · Paper
GLM-5V-Turbo integrates multimodal perception as a core reasoning component rather than an auxiliary interface, designed specifically for agentic deployment across images, videos, webpages, and GUIs. The model combines multimodal training, reinforcement learning, and expanded toolchains to achieve strong performance in multimodal coding and visual tool use while maintaining competitive text-only capabilities. This represents a shift from treating vision as a bolt-on feature to making multimodal perception central to reasoning, planning, and execution in agent systems.
Visual Generation in the New Era: An Evolution from Atomic Mapping to Agentic World Modeling
78 upvotes · Wu et al. · Paper
This roadmap argues that visual generation must evolve beyond photorealism toward "intelligent visual generation" that understands structure, dynamics, and causality. The authors propose a five-level taxonomy progressing from atomic generation to world-modeling generation, identifying current limitations in spatial reasoning and long-horizon consistency. They highlight that current evaluations overemphasize perceptual quality while missing structural and causal failures, calling for capability-centered benchmarks that stress-test reasoning rather than just visual fidelity.

TauricResearch/TradingAgents — Multi-Agents LLM Financial Trading Framework
2,225 stars/day · Repo
A comprehensive multi-agent framework for algorithmic trading using large language models, with 63,709 total stars and active development. The system coordinates multiple AI agents to handle different aspects of financial trading, from market analysis to execution strategies. With backing research published on arXiv and a growing community on Discord, this represents one of the most significant open-source efforts to apply LLM agents to quantitative finance.
ruvnet/ruflo — Multi-agent AI orchestration for Claude Code
1,299 stars/day · Repo
Ruflo (formerly Claude Flow) extends Claude Code with coordinated multi-agent swarms, persistent memory across sessions, and federated communication between agents on different machines. Built with Rust-powered WASM kernels for the policy engine and embeddings, it enables 100+ specialized agents to self-organize and collaborate while maintaining enterprise security. The system adds a "nervous system" to Claude Code, allowing agents to learn from every task and coordinate without data leakage.
1jehuang/jcode — Coding Agent Harness
482 stars/day · Repo
A high-performance coding agent harness built in Rust, designed for multi-session workflows with infinite customizability and optimized resource efficiency. The system emphasizes performance metrics like RAM usage and boot time, positioning itself as a next-generation alternative to existing coding agents. With 3,054 total stars and active development, jcode targets developers who need scalable, resource-efficient coding automation with persistent memory across sessions.

Simon built a new feature to syndicate his iNaturalist wildlife photos directly to his blog using Claude Code on his phone, extending his existing "beats system" for external content. The implementation automatically back-populated over a decade of wildlife observations, making them searchable alongside his blog posts. This demonstrates practical AI-assisted content management, where LLMs handle the integration between platforms while preserving the personal curation aspect of blogging.
iNaturalist Sightings
1st May 2026 · Post · tags: tools, claude-code, inaturalist, generative-ai, ai, llms
Simon built a complete pipeline to visualize his iNaturalist observations using only his phone and Claude Code, combining a Python CLI, Git scraping automation, and a JavaScript frontend. The system fetches and "clumps" observations by time and location, stores results in GitHub, and displays them with lazy-loaded thumbnails and modal popups. This showcases how modern AI coding tools enable rapid full-stack development entirely on mobile devices.
