  1. Phone Harness lets Claude Code and Codex agents drive real phones

    Phone Harness, an open-source project trending on GitHub, connects Claude Code, Codex or any other agent to a real phone: iPhones through the Mac's iPhone Mirroring window, Android over adb on macOS, Linux or Windows, or a rented Phone Harness Cloud device (Android over adb, iPhone over HTTPS) — with no jailbreak, no Xcode and nothing installed on the phone. The agent captures the screen, OCRs the text (Apple's Vision framework for iPhone, the accessibility tree for Android), then taps, types and swipes and reads back the result using the same set of helpers. The README lists limits: unlocking an iPhone pauses mirroring, a PIN-locked Android needs the user, OCR sees text but not icons, there is no multi-touch, camera or Face ID support, and DRM video renders black; cloud Android starts with 100 free minutes, and only cloud Android is billed by the minute, while connecting the phone is always the user's job.

  2. Carbonato botnet hijacks unsecured Docker hosts, deploys AI agent to steal credentials

    Singapore's Cyber Security Agency (CSA) issued an advisory warning that the Carbonato botnet is compromising hosts through unprotected Docker remote management interfaces. According to the advisory and research by security firm ThreatDown, the campaign does not exploit a new Docker flaw but instead targets the Docker Remote API exposed over TCP port 2375 without authentication; attackers create privileged containers to take control of the underlying host and maintain remote access via mechanisms such as SSH reverse tunnels. ThreatDown says the intruders then deploy the open-source AI agent framework Hermes Agent, sending tasks remotely over Telegram so a large language model can interpret them, generate commands and run them on the victim host, with the agent specifically instructed to prioritize collecting API keys for AI services and to look for SSH keys, access tokens and database information. CSA recommends keeping Docker remote interfaces off the public internet, using SSH or client-authenticated TLS instead, and isolating affected hosts and rotating potentially exposed credentials before restoring service.

  3. Hands on with local AI: Hermes Agent and Qwen on a Mac Studio

    A Verge reviewer installed the open-source Hermes Agent desktop app on an M5 Ultra Mac Studio with 256GB of unified memory and chose the roughly 105GB, 125-billion-parameter Qwen 3.8 Flash Next model to run locally. He used it to build a daily briefing, sort a Steam library of more than 400 games by genre, analyze financial records and make a laptop spec-comparison spreadsheet, and is now trying to script partial automation of laptop benchmark testing. The author says local models are no magic assistant — tasks still break — but the privacy of keeping data on the machine makes him more willing to trust it with sensitive work.

  4. Prime Agent rewritten in Rust by a 2,000-agent swarm

    Prime Intellect shipped a from-scratch Rust rewrite of Prime Agent, its coding agent, which it says has been downloaded more than 300,000 times and processed over 8 trillion tokens since launching in August. Per the company's blog, the port took two weeks and was orchestrated by more than 2,000 agents across 10,000-plus Prime Sandboxes, consuming over 200 billion tokens from Prime Inference's GLM-5.3 endpoint; work was split into a topological ordering of tasks, with each task passing through a Planner, Implementer, Reviewer and Verifier, gated by TUI, harness, protocol and feature parity checks. A follow-up three-day hillclimbing loop logged 144 experiment and audit records and merged 69 changes, cutting cold-start input-ready latency from 736.1 ms in the TypeScript version to 51.9 ms (about 14.18x), 10 MiB session process memory from 1,130.0 MB to 237.3 MB, and install size from 172.1 MB to 59.6 MB.

  5. Step 5 Preview free for a week across several coding tools

    StepFun says its flagship model for agentic and professional work, Step 5 Preview, is free for one week in OpenCode, Nous Portal (with Hermes Agent), Cline and Kilo. Partners describe it as a 600B-parameter MoE with 27B active per token, a 1M-token context and vision, with OpenCode noting zero data retention. Cline claims it scores ahead of Kimi K3 and GLM-5.3 on DeepSWE, while Nous says its 33.89 Hermes Index score matches GPT-6 Luna — both are partner claims.

  6. Omnigent open-source meta-harness orchestrates Claude Code, Codex and other agents

    Omnigent is an open-source AI agent framework and "meta-harness" that, per its project documentation, mixes Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Hermes, Pi and user-defined YAML agents in the same session, with sessions that follow you between terminal, browser, phone and a macOS desktop app. The README also claims support for first-party API keys or Claude/ChatGPT subscriptions, cloud sandboxes such as Modal, Daytona, E2B and Kubernetes, and policies that pause for approval, cap spend or limit tool access, plus session sharing for teammates. The repository is currently listed on GitHub Trending for Python.

  7. Impeccable: open-source design skill for AI coding agents

    Impeccable is an open-source design-language skill for AI coding agents by pbakaus, described as building on Anthropic's frontend-design skill for Claude to counter the same SaaS-template look models tend to produce. It ships one skill, 24 commands (init, audit, critique, polish, live and more) and 60 deterministic detector rules that the CLI and browser extension run with no LLM or API key. Install is via npx impeccable install, with support for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Grok Build, Hermes Agent and others; some harnesses require preview channels or manual hook trust.
