In het kort
Anthropic introduceert voor Claude Code een pluginsysteem dat vaardigheden, agents, hooks en MCP-servers als één geheel installeert via het /plugin-commando. Voor de beveiliging van agents verschenen de self-hosted sandbox Plimsoll en CI-tool AgentProbe, terwijl de MCP-server werd bijgewerkt naar TypeScript SDK v2. Daarnaast zijn het open-source project MuscleMemory voor procedureel agentgeheugen en de benchmark Parsimony uitgebracht. Binnen de markt haalde AI-infrastructuurplatform Modal 750 miljoen dollar op en leidt DeepSeek een financieringsronde van 400 miljoen dollar in robotica-startup Winverse AI.
