The Gradio team has released Daggr, a new open-source Python library designed to simplify the construction and debugging of multi-step AI workflows. Daggr allows developers to define workflows programmatically in Python while automatically generating a visual canvas that exposes intermediate states, inputs, and outputs for each step in the pipeline.

A Cloudflare blog post claiming a "production-grade" Matrix homeserver on Workers didn't survive community scrutiny. Missing federation, incomplete encryption, and TODO comments in authentication logic pointed to unreviewed AI output. Matrix's Matthew Hodgson welcomed the effort but noted the implementation "doesn't yet constitute a functional Matrix server."
