ChatGPT Disables History & Hermes Agent Released & DeepSeek Harness Preview & AWS Lambda Node.js 26 & CVE-2026-72181

AI & ML

• OpenAI ChatGPT now lets users disable chat history and export their data from settings. Conversations started with history disabled won't be used for model training. The legacy GPT-3.5 model is deprecated as of May 10th. Read more
• Qwen3.8-27B-MTP model bundles the MTP (Multi-Token Prediction) head directly into the model, enabling speculative decoding without loading a separate draft model—achieving ~2x faster inference and 77.9% acceptance rate with max draft 2. Read more

AI Coding Tools

• Hermes Agent, an open-source autonomous AI agent framework released by Nous Research in February 2026, operates as a persistent service with memory and learning capabilities. It learns from multi-step fixes and reuses them for similar issues—differentiated from chatbots and IDE assistants by its infrastructure-first approach supporting self-hosted or managed deployments. Read more
• DeepSeek Harness enters developer preview as a plugin-based AI agent framework that treats every component as swappable—supporting Python 3.10–3.12 and compatible with DeepSeek, OpenAI, and Ollama providers. Still unsuitable for production; API and plugin ecosystem will change. Read more

Languages & Runtimes

• AWS Lambda launches public preview runtimes for Node.js 26 and Python 3.15, letting developers test upcoming language versions months before GA release. Available as both managed runtimes and base container images tagged with 26-preview and 3.15-preview. Read more

DevOps & Cloud

• AWS Lambda introduces public preview runtimes starting with Node.js 26 and Python 3.15, enabling early feedback on breaking changes before general availability. Base images published to Lambda ECR repository; manages functional pre-release testing before GA. Read more

Security

• CVE-2026-72181 (Linux kernel MIPS): Critical memory corruption in mips: sched when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK enabled. copy_from_user() clobbers mask pointer when sizeof(new_mask) evaluates to pointer size instead of actual mask size. Read more
• CVE-2026-72150 (Linux kernel sunrpc): Uninitialized xprt_create_args structure on stack leaks sensitive data and causes kernel panics when xs_setup_xprt() dereferences garbage srcaddr pointers. Read more
• CVE-2026-72118 (Linux kernel CAN bcm): KCSAN detected data race in bcm_rx_handler() when two CAN frames processed simultaneously on different CPUs. Atomic operations needed to fix statistics access in hot path. Read more

Open Source

• llama.cpp releases build b10442 with expanded platform support: CUDA 12.4/13.3/13.4, Vulkan, OpenVINO, SYCL backends for Windows, Linux, macOS (arm64/x64), plus Android arm64 and openEuler distributions. Read more
• DBX (v1.0+) ships as a 20 MB lightweight database client supporting 70+ databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Redis, MongoDB, DuckDB). Built with Tauri 2 + Rust + Vue 3; includes AI assistant, MCP Server, CLI, desktop, and Docker deployments. Read more
• Vercel Eve, an open framework for building agents, reaches 4.6k GitHub stars with support for agentic AI development, Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, and multi-agent orchestration. Read more

Dev Tools & IDEs

• TypeScript 6.0 requires migration updates: changes to type resolution, @types handling shifts from classic to unified strategy. Use tsc --listFiles to audit type imports and baseline @types dependencies before upgrading. Read more
• ABAP Development Tools for VS Code adds SAP Joule for Developers (AI coding assistance), MCP server support for agentic workflows, predictive code completion, and debug/test integration for SAP Cloud ABAP development. Read more
