Pi coding agent adds MCP support by default
local coding agents can now call external tools, changing offline and on-prem workflows.

Verified sources override correct user input in LLM QA
trust hierarchies fail: cross-check authoritative sources and track source-label effects in QA.
Brain waves reveal complex propagating wave patterns
new empirical constraints for neural network models and neuroscience-informed architectures; watch for follow-up.

The Take
Agent platforms are shipping policy, routing, and billing primitives faster than teams can instrument them; the immediate bottleneck is audit and trust controls, not raw model capability. On the science side, closer measurement of brain dynamics is constraining models of cognition.
