Cosh is an open-source coding agent and multi-agent orchestrator designed to run in a terminal. Built in Rust with a Ratatui interface, it brings software-development tools together with the ability to interact with graphical applications. Its central feature is multi-agent mode: users can run external agents such as Gemini, Claude, Codex, or Cline in split panes from a shared prompt. Each agent retains its own session, model, and optional Git worktree, while Cosh’s main agent assigns work and gathers reports. This setup aims to make several coding agents usable as a coordinated team.
For graphical interaction, Cosh reads and operates interfaces through accessibility-tree data, using screenshots only when necessary to reduce image processing and token use. Providers, models, and operating modes can be configured in the terminal interface, with the project emphasizing minimal manual setup. Its code is divided into reusable crates for development and computer tools, terminal widgets, agent-building, memory and context recall, and an optional ONNX decision engine. Installation scripts are provided for Linux and Windows; macOS is untested. The Apache-2.0-licensed project’s roadmap includes an optional ONNX engine and graph-based orchestration for coordinating multiple agent harnesses.

A Hacker News poster asks which practical AI skills individuals can learn online to benefit economically from LLMs and agents. They want specific, hands-on recommendations suited to someone with a moderately technical background, without requiring a degree. (news.ycombinator.com)
Former OpenAI researcher Will Depue claims hidden initialization patterns in six Chinese open-weight AI models match Nvidia Blackwell hardware, including systems restricted from export to China. He says the matches were reproduced on real chips and independently checked by researchers, though the claims are based on his forensic analysis. (twitter.com)
Antithesis built a system that beats NetHack on nearly 80% of game seeds within five minutes, across character builds. Successful runs take a median of under two minutes, advancing the company’s goal of creating smarter fuzzers and autonomous systems. (antithesis.com)
OpenCyclone is a free, open-source Android agent that uses your existing apps to carry out tasks through a hidden screen. It asks for approval before actions like sending messages and lets users connect their own AI models. (opencyclone.vercel.app)
Sam Bankman-Fried’s $500 million investment gave Alameda nearly 14% of Anthropic, a stake that would be worth about $37 billion at the AI company’s expected $1.5 trillion IPO valuation. The stake was sold in bankruptcy to repay FTX customers and creditors after Bankman-Fried’s businesses collapsed. (ft.com)
