CASES IN 2025 (2 MINUTE READ) [12]=20
The Guinea worm is a parasi=
tic nematode found in waters that contain
small crustacean copepods. Huma=
ns can ingest them through contaminated
water, and this results in painfu=
l blisters, usually in the feet and
legs, that can cause searing pain as =
the worms fully emerge. The
disease can lead to complications such as sec=
ondary infections and
sepsis, which can in turn lead to temporary or perm=
anent disability.
There were only 10 human cases in three countries in 20=

an estimated 3.5 million cases across 21 countries in 1986=

STOP BUILDING SYSTEMS FOR AGENTS (4 MINUTE READ) [14]=20
Today'=
s systems are sub-optimal for AI agents as they waste context,

need to build sy=
stems that treat LLMs as first-class citizens, that
approach is not total=
ly required - if humans can live with it, LLMs
will eventually catch up. =
Real agent-native systems should be
radically observable and deterministi=

LLMs can do for humans rather than think =
about what humans can do for
LLMs.=20

Leaks show that a new model by Anthropi=
c, branded as Claude Sonnet 5, has an internal date string of February 3, 2= 026. It is unclear whether this is a public launch date or an internal chec= kpoint. The timing would coincide with the Super Bowl, which is an event wh= ere AI labs have been ramping up mainstream marketing to chase consumer min= dshare. Early testing indicates the model already looks competitive on math=
with today's frontier-tier models, and it shows even stronger coding outpu=
t than Claude Opus 4.5 in some workflows.

The Guinea worm is a parasitic nematode=
found in waters that contain small crustacean copepods. Humans can ingest = them through contaminated water, and this results in painful blisters, usua= lly in the feet and legs, that can cause searing pain as the worms fully em= erge. The disease can lead to complications such as secondary infections an=
d sepsis, which can in turn lead to temporary or permanent disability. Ther=
e were only 10 human cases in three countries in 2025 - down from an estima= ted 3.5 million cases across 21 countries in 1986.

<strong>Introducing the Codex app (=
3 minute read)</strong>
</span>
<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
OpenAI has released a new macOS app for=
its Codex coding agent. The app provides a nice UI over the capabilities o=
f the Codex CLI agent and adds new features, like first-class support for S= kills and Automations for running scheduled tasks. Automations are currentl=
y restricted to only run when devices are powered on. OpenAI will enable cl= oud-based automations soon to resolve this limitation.

<strong>Stop building systems for a= gents (4 minute read)</strong>
</span>
<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
Today's systems are sub-optimal for AI = agents as they waste context, confuse models with unstructured output, and = prioritize vision-based human interaction over text-based LLMs. While some = think this means we need to build systems that treat LLMs as first-class ci= tizens, that approach is not totally required - if humans can live with it,=
LLMs will eventually catch up. Real agent-native systems should be radical=
ly observable and deterministic. It's better to focus on what LLMs can do f=
or humans rather than think about what humans can do for LLMs.

Moltbook is an AI-only social network w= here tens of thousands of AI agents post and comment while humans observe. = The platform grew from 42 posts per day to 36,905 in 72 hours. Social netwo= rks typically have 90% of users lurking, 9% contributing occasionally, and =
