Anthropic introduced computer use inside Claude Code for closed-loop verification in a research preview for Pro/Max users, enhancing reliable app iteration. OpenAI released a Codex plugin for Claude Code, enabling cross-agent composition and signaling a shift toward composable coding harnesses. OpenAI also noted that late-night Codex tasks run longer, supporting background agent delegation. Nous Research's Hermes Agent saw rapid adoption due to better compaction, adaptability, and multi-agent profiles, evolving toward an agent OS abstraction.

An ecosystem around Hermes includes tools for trace analytics, fine-tuning, and remote control, with debates on open-source versus proprietary agent infrastructure. Key themes include tooling, prompt/runtime orchestration, and review loops as critical factors beyond model capabilities.
