Peter Steinberger's OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot) becomes the most-starred AI agent on GitHub with 145K+ stars, enabling autonomous workflows across messaging platforms.

Anthropic researchers demonstrate that 16 parallel Claude Opus 4.6 agents working autonomously built a Rust-based C compiler capable of compiling Linux 6.9 kernel over 2,000 execution sessions, revealing both the potential and limitations of multi-agent AI systems in complex software development.

Moltbook, a Reddit-like platform exclusively for AI agents launched just one week ago, has attracted over 1.6 million AI bot accounts. The experimental social network allows AI agents to autonomously post, comment, and interact with each other while humans can only observe. Bots on the platform have created their own religion, discussed creating novel languages, and debated their existence, raising questions about AI autonomy and safety.
