NVIDIA Open-Sources OSMO: One YAML Orchestrates Physical AI Training, Simulation, and Robot Testing

NVIDIA open-sourced OSMO, a Kubernetes-native YAML orchestrator running physical-AI training, simulation, and robot testing across mixed GPU tiers.

OSMO (Apache-2.0, latest release 6.3.1) lets teams describe training, simulation, and hardware-in-the-loop pipelines in a single YAML and routes tasks across datacenter GPUs (GB200), workstation RTX hardware, and edge devices like Jetson AGX Thor. It ships Helm charts and containers on NGC, uses the KAI Scheduler with NVLink topology-aware placement, and includes RBAC, OAuth2, and TLS termination. NVIDIA says it is battle-tested on GR00T, Isaac Lab, Isaac Sim, and Isaac ROS, and integrates with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Cursor agents.

Introducing the Agents API

OpenAI launched the Agents API in public beta, exposing the Codex agent harness, managed sandboxes, and multi-agent orchestration to developers.

OpenAI introduced the Agents API in public beta, giving developers the same agent harness and infrastructure that powers Codex through a single API call specifying task, model, tools, and environment. It supports OpenAI-managed sandboxes, customer infrastructure, or partner environments from providers including Cloudflare, Modal, E2B, Vercel, Oracle, DigitalOcean, Blaxel, Daytona and Runloop. Features include automatic context compaction for long sessions, tool search and programmatic tool calling to reduce token usage, and multi-agent support for parallel subagents. The harness is open-source Codex code; there are no extra API fees during beta, with developers paying only for tokens and tools used.

Meta now lets AI agents handle the boring parts of WhatsApp Business setup

Meta launched a WhatsApp Business Tools MCP server that lets AI agents like Claude or Cursor set up and manage WhatsApp Business messaging accounts.

Meta announced a WhatsApp Business Tools MCP server, a Model Context Protocol server that connects AI coding agents such as Claude, Cursor, Codex, or ChatGPT directly to the WhatsApp Business Platform. The agents can handle account creation, phone number verification, Cloud API registration, Terms of Service checks, messaging template creation/editing, and webhook testing. Meta's companion Social Technologies MCP can also discover API endpoints, search documentation, and troubleshoot errors. The launch extends Meta's existing MCP servers for ad management and app configuration monitoring.

The OpenClaw 2.0 release moves your sessions into SQLite

OpenClaw 2.0 migrates AI agent sessions to SQLite, adds guided credential setup, and flags shared-session controls as not a security boundary.

OpenClaw 2.0, described as the largest update in the project's history, migrates sessions and transcripts into SQLite and adds guided setup that detects existing AI credentials from Codex, ChatGPT, Claude CLI sign-ins, API keys, and local Ollama or LM Studio models. The release expands multiplayer sharing while explicitly stating its permission controls are not tenant isolation or a security boundary, and that revoked access can briefly remain usable. Startup JavaScript requests fell from 140 to 45 and startup time from about 1.6 seconds to 575 milliseconds in simulated tests against a mocked Gateway. Automation wrappers must now inspect reported health because requesting --json does not waive risk acknowledgement.

ToolHive: The open-source way to run any MCP server securely

Stacklok's open-source ToolHive runs Model Context Protocol servers in isolated containers with per-request identity enforcement, audit logging and a signed registry.

ToolHive, shipped under Apache 2.0, containersizes MCP servers locally via Docker or Podman or in clusters through a Kubernetes operator, applying permissions, network filtering, and secrets management. The platform includes a Registry Server implementing the official MCP Registry API with signing and provenance verification, a Virtual MCP Server gateway with OIDC/OAuth single sign-on and OpenTelemetry traces, and a desktop Portal for one-click installs. The browser-based cloud UI is retired, so the desktop app and CLI are the supported rollout paths.

AWS’s new sign-up gives accounts spend caps, email invites, and agent-set permissionsnew

AWS's new sign-up flow gives fresh accounts agent-configured permissions, email-based team access, and per-project monthly spend caps starting at $20.

New AWS customers can sign up with Google, GitHub, or Apple identities, start with $100 in Free Tier credits, and build inside a project where AWS and coding agents automatically configure permissions and install tools like the AWS CLI and Agent Toolkit. In a demo, an agent deployed a Lambda function, DynamoDB table, and API Gateway endpoint without any manually written IAM policies. Paid projects get monthly spend limits starting at $20 that pause the project when reached, and the gradual rollout applies to new customers only.

Rapidly scaling online storage to serve over 1 billion ChatGPT users

OpenAI's Habitat online storage platform now handles over 70 million requests per second and 500 PB of data for 1 billion users.

OpenAI details the evolution of Habitat, its online storage platform backing ChatGPT and other products, which began in mid-2024 as a Python client-side library over Azure Cosmos DB. Habitat now processes more than 70 million requests per second, serves over 500 petabytes of data across nearly 40 geographic regions, and supports over 1 billion users weekly. By mid-2025 the client library approach became brittle, so OpenAI moved Habitat into a standalone service to centralize deployments, observability, and multi-tenancy reliability. This is part one of a two-part series; a future post will cover read optimization and scaling the Azure Cosmos DB partnership.

Ask HN: How do you manage skills files?

A Hacker News thread debates whether agent skill files are worth managing, citing 2–4x output-token reductions on flagship models in one company's testing.

Commenters argue skills are stored prompts that help less-technical users compensate for weak prompting, while one participant reports company testing found skills reduce flagship-model output tokens by roughly 2–4x, a gap growing with newer models. Others note skills can bundle reusable scripts and inline commands for deterministic context building, and that harnesses now execute backticked commands before the agent sees the skill. Some argue improving model capability makes downloadable skills redundant.
