A lot happened in eight days.

Meta acquired Moltbook, a social network built entirely for AI agents, not humans.

OpenAI dropped GPT-5.4 Thinking and GPT-5.4 Pro, Codex got forks for multi-agent workflows and Windows support, and there are rumblings of OpenAI building a GitHub alternative. Anthropic fired back hard — multi-agent PR code review for Claude Code, while loops via /loop, the Claude Marketplace, and a way to pull your context from other AI tools. Plus: voice mode for CLI coding is apparently real, and people are using it.

This episode also covers the explosion of coding agents: Theo's T3 Code, OpenAI's Symphony orchestration layer, OpenCode workspaces, and swyx's thesis that this is the Year of the Subagent.

Donald Knuth is making headlines for being impressed by Opus 4.6, solving a long-standing math conjecture. TypeScript is overtaking Python and JavaScript on GitHub. Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite drops. AMI raises $1B.

OpenClaw is getting government-backed adoption in China. Stanford's paper on RAG breaking at 10K documents, Karpathy's autoresearch project, Justin Poehnelt on why your CLI needs to be rewritten for agents. Plus: Raycast Glaze, Google Workspace CLI, Copilot Cowork, Exa Deep, Expo Agent, and a discussion on whether humans should be reviewing code at all.

AI Agents Hour is a weekly livestream hosted by Mastra CPO Shane Thomas and CTO Abhi Aiyer. Airing Mondays at 12PM Pacific on YouTube and X, the show covers breaking AI news, agent development techniques, and features interviews with industry experts building AI applications today.

MASTRA?
Mastra is an open-source TypeScript framework designed for building and shipping AI-powered applications and agents with minimal friction. It supports the full lifecycle of agent development—from prototype to production. You can integrate it with frontend and backend stacks (e.g., React, Next.js, Node) or run agents as standalone services. If you’re a JavaScript or TypeScript developer looking to build an agentic or AI-powered product without starting from first principles, Mastra provides the scaffolding, tools, and integrations to accelerate that process.
