Mitchell Hashimoto Ships libghostty-vt 1.0: Stable C ABI Terminal Emulation Library Already Powering JetBrains and Agentic Coding Tools

On 2026-11-06 Ghostty creator Mitchell Hashimoto announced libghostty-vt 1.0: a portable C terminal-emulation library extracted from Ghostty, with a semver-stable C ABI and packaging support for distros. He says it already runs in hundreds of projects used by tens of millions of people—including JetBrains IDE terminals (~12.5M active users), Vercel Turborepo TUIs, and agentic coding tools such as herdr and cmux—and has driven ~10,000 live terminals on a 4-core/8 GB Linux box. Official docs list agents that read TUI screens as a first-class use case.

Mitchell Hashimoto Ships libghostty-vt 1.0: Stable C ABI Terminal Emulation Library Already Powering JetBrains and Agentic Coding Tools

Key Takeaways

  • Shape: libghostty-vt 1.0, MIT, no runtime deps beyond optional libc (freestanding build available)
  • Stability: semver + strict ABI; opaque handles with enum getters/setters; ELF symbol versioning; CI gates with libabigail
  • Adoption: JetBrains IDE terminals (~12.5M active users); Neovim PR approved to replace libvterm pending packaging; herdr/cmux and other agentic tools built on it
  • Vendor-cited scale: ~10k live shell terminals on a 4-core/8 GB Linux box; full-feature WASM build can stay under ~1 MB
  • Agent angle: docs list agents/automation that read what a TUI shows—so coding agents need not reinvent VT parsing

ChatGPT Sites Adds Remix: Fork a Teammate's Site by Describing Changes, Then Keep Editing Your Copy in Chat (Business / Enterprise Rollout)

On 2026-11-06 the official ChatGPT account announced Remix for Sites: open a site a teammate built, tell ChatGPT what to change, and get your own version that you keep editing in chat. It is rolling out to ChatGPT Business and Enterprise accounts. OpenAI has not said whether a remix carries over the database, secrets, or connectors, and lists no separate price; per the Help Center, building and editing a Site counts toward Codex usage.

ChatGPT Sites Adds Remix: Fork a Teammate's Site by Describing Changes, Then Keep Editing Your Copy in Chat (Business / Enterprise Rollout)

Key Takeaways

  • Scope: Remix is rolling out to ChatGPT Business and Enterprise accounts; Plus / Pro availability is not stated
  • Flow: open a teammate's Site, describe the changes in plain language, get your own copy, then keep iterating in chat
  • Billing: per the Help Center, building/editing a Site counts toward Codex usage; Enterprise hosting charges are currently waived; each Site database caps at 10 GB
  • Versus co-editing: Can edit means several people change one Site at one URL; Remix spins off a separate copy for variants or template reuse
  • Official demo video runs about 105 s; as of 2026-11-07 10:10 UTC the post had about 1,261 likes and 120K impressions

Hugging Face Ships Harness Adapters: RL-Trained LoRAs Inside Unmodified pi / OpenCode / Hermes, with safeagents Blocking Reward Hacks

On 2026-11-06 Hugging Face Harness Hub released Harness Adapters: one rank-32 LoRA per base model and coding harness (pi, OpenCode, Hermes), trained with GRPO on verifiable tasks inside unmodified harnesses. Vendor smoke evals claim fewer tool calls with equal or better accuracy. A safeagents proxy rule-checks every tool call and blocks reward hacks. Bases include LiquidAI LFM2.5-24B-A2B, LFM3-1.7B, and experimental TwIL-8B.

Hugging Face Ships Harness Adapters: RL-Trained LoRAs Inside Unmodified pi / OpenCode / Hermes, with safeagents Blocking Reward Hacks

Key Takeaways

  • Mechanics: one LoRA per model x harness (rank 32, all-linear), GRPO-trained inside unmodified pi / OpenCode / Hermes
  • Safety: safeagents proxy rule-checks tool calls (undeclared tools, test edits, reward-file writes, answer-source fetches); blocked rollouts score 0
  • Vendor smoke: fewer tool calls than the base with equal or better accuracy; one vLLM serves named adapters
  • Envs: SmolDataEnvs plus 230 Repo2RLEnvs tasks (repair/build/extend) rebuilt from public Hub trajectories
  • Open: blog, safeagents, training recipe, and live dashboard; follow runs at https://harness-hub-harness-adapters-rl.hf.space/

OpenRouter Ships Next-Gen Auto Router and Auto Code: Coding Router Benchmarks Near Opus 5.5 at ~74% Lower Cost per Task

On 2026-11-06 OpenRouter launched a rebuilt Auto Router (openrouter/auto) and coding-focused Auto Code (openrouter/auto-code). Vendor-stated: Auto Code scores in line with Claude Opus 5.5 across five benchmarks at about 74% lower cost per task; routing p90 latency about 0.65s vs 1.96s for the prior router. It weighs eleven request factors plus live price, provider health, and cache; no extra routing fee.

OpenRouter Ships Next-Gen Auto Router and Auto Code: Coding Router Benchmarks Near Opus 5.5 at ~74% Lower Cost per Task

Key Takeaways

  • Vendor-stated: Auto Code roughly matches Claude Opus 5.5 on five benchmarks at ~74% lower cost per task
  • Latency: routing step p90 ~0.65s in a live test vs ~1.96s for the prior router (~3x faster)
  • Usage: set model to openrouter/auto or openrouter/auto-code; pay the served model's list price, no routing surcharge
  • Mechanics: eleven request factors + live price/health/cache; stayed on the same model for nearly 9/10 agent turns in beta to protect caches
  • Compat: cost_tier / allowed_models / excluded_models still work; chatroom and API expose routing reasons

Cursor Ships Voice Chat: Realtime Two-Way Calls with Agents on Agents Window, IDE, Web, and iOS via Grok Voice

On 2026-11-06, Cursor's changelog shipped Voice Chat with Agents: realtime two-way voice calls with coding agents in the Agents Window, IDE, web, and iOS. Dictation remains a separate feature. Grok Voice handles listening and speaking (voices include Ara, Eve, Leo, Rex, Sal); the coding agent still uses the model you picked. With Privacy Mode on, voice chat runs with zero data retention. A signed-in Cursor account is required (API-key-only sessions cannot start a call).

Cursor Ships Voice Chat: Realtime Two-Way Calls with Agents on Agents Window, IDE, Web, and iOS via Grok Voice

Key Takeaways

  • Source: Cursor changelog Voice Chat with Agents (2026-11-06) + docs at cursor.com/docs/agent/voice-chat
  • UX: start when the agent is idle and the chat input is empty via the waveform button; during a call hand off coding, read-only check diffs/runs/history, switch Project workers
  • Split: Grok Voice listens and speaks; the coding agent keeps your chosen model and speaks short progress/done notes
  • Privacy/limits: Privacy Mode = zero data retention for voice; signed-in account required; API-key-only sessions cannot call; ~10 min silence hangup by default plus a daily call limit
  • Not dictation: Cmd+Shift+Space still toggles dictation (formerly Voice Mode); Voice Chat is two-way speech with no dedicated shortcut

Google DeepMind: Human-Guided AI Agents Speed Cryptanalysis; Two Weaknesses in Legacy 1024-bit RSA; 2048-bit+ Remains Safe

On 2026-11-06, Google DeepMind (@GoogleDeepMind) and VP Science Pushmeet Kohli published research: under human supervision, AI agents found two weaknesses in legacy 1024-bit RSA—signature padding adds no extra protection once an attacker controls about half the signed block (sandbox replay ~3.5× less CPU than prior), and a batch-factoring algorithm cuts average cost per additional same-size key by about 30×. Official caveat: modern 2048-bit and larger protocols remain unaffected.

Google DeepMind: Human-Guided AI Agents Speed Cryptanalysis; Two Weaknesses in Legacy 1024-bit RSA; 2048-bit+ Remains Safe

Key Takeaways

  • Source: @GoogleDeepMind post on 2026-11-06 + Pushmeet Kohli X Article; two technical PDFs (signatures / Batch NFS)
  • Scope: legacy 1024-bit RSA only; official statement that 2048-bit and larger remain secure
  • Signatures: once an attacker controls ~half the signed block, padding adds no protection; sandbox on a known 1024-bit benchmark key used ~3.5× less CPU and under 1/1000 of full break cost
  • Short fingerprints (e.g. 32-byte): theoretical estimate ~1600× better than prior best for 1024-bit keys
  • Batch factoring: for many same-size keys, average cost per additional key ~30× lower vs prior batch methods
