# ElizaOS Daily Report - January 11, 2026

## Platform Expansion and Capabilities

Shaw demonstrated significant progress expanding Eliza's capabilities beyond crypto applications. Demonstrations showed Eliza functioning as a bot, reinforcement learning agent, in-game NPC, and opponent. Eliza was shown managing Claude Code instances autonomously, handling task management without conversation management. Agents were demonstrated successfully performing in-game tasks such as chopping wood.

## Contributor Leaderboard System

Jin announced new features for the contributor leaderboard system. A beta feature for lifetime summarization was added to provide full history context when the AI council reviews contributor names and progress. The feature is now available in the API. Improvements to the Jedai council system were announced, with plans to resume operations with enhanced functionality.

## Avatar Generation

AI-generated avatars were created for team members including Stan, sam, Neodotneo, 0xbbjoker, Agent Joshua, and Odilitime. A low poly mode was discovered for the avatar generation system.
