The hardest part of building against a new platform is teaching your tools about it. Your coding agent doesn’t know the SDK’s conventions. Your IDE doesn’t know the CLI commands. Your terminal doesn’t know the auth pattern. Every gap is a context switch, and every context switch is time spent away from the work. DataRobot...

Google has only one way to measure the phenomenal AI growth it’s seen: in tokens. The company processes 3.2 quadrillion tokens per month, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said during this week’s I/O keynote, adding, “never imagined I’d say quadrillion…, but here we are.” Basically, tokens are a unit of measure used by large language models (LLMs) to process data. Tokens, which have been called the “new oil” fueling the AI revolution, are also a way AI vendors can meter usage and price their services. Enterprises are lusting for tokens, and spending billions of them to grab compute time. As with oil, the demand for tokens is seemingly insatiable — and it is straining an already short GPU supply, which in turn is increasing the cost of running AI tools. What exactly is a token? Similar to the way humans think, LLMs grasp the meaning of a sentence by breaking words down into tokens. Pichai described them as “the fundamental units of data our models process, many representing a problem being solve

Cline has extracted its internal agent harness into an open-source TypeScript SDK called @cline/sdk, the same runtime now powering its CLI and Kanban, with VS Code and JetBrains extensions being migrated. The SDK is structured as a four-layer stack — @cline/shared, @cline/llms, @cline/agents, and @cline/core — with native support for plugins, subagents, CRON scheduling, checkpointing, and MCP connectors. On Terminal Benchmark 2.0, Cline CLI scored 74.2% on claude-opus-4.7, compared to Anthropic's published 69.4% for Claude Code on the same model. Install via npm install @cline/sdk. Requires Node.js 22+. The post Cline Releases Cline SDK: An Open-Source Agent Runtime Now Powering Its CLI and Kanban, With IDE Extensions Being Migrated appeared first on MarkTechPost.
Save to Spotify is a new command-line tool designed specifically for AI agents like OpenClaw, Claude Code, or OpenAI Codex. If you're the kind of person who collects research on a topic, then feeds it through their AI of choice to create audio summaries and personal podcasts, this lets you save them right alongside the latest episode of The Vergecast and Welcome to Night Vale on Spotify. To set it up, you need to download and install the Save to Spotify CLI from GitHub. Then you just prompt your AI agent as normal, but tack on "and save to Spotify," and it should show up right in your podcast feed. In the blog post announcing the feature, S … Read the full story at The Verge.
