[link](https://x.com/TheChinthala/status/2019420715473367494) - **The Interview Skill for Vibe Coding**: The `/interview` skill for Claude Code/Codex spawns subagents to explore your codebase, asks detailed questions, generates specs, and enables parallel agentic engineering (one agent interviewing, one reviewing specs, one implementing). Install via `npx skills add EnzeD/skills --skill interview`. [link](https://x.com/NicolasZu/status/2019416452550320626) - **AI Orchestration is the New Literacy**: The ability to manage multiple AI agents, route tasks intelligently, and coordinate outputs is becoming the core skill—not just prompting individual models. [link](https://x.com/EB_XdotO/status/2019438724317344257) ## New Tools & Releases - **Sarvam Vision: 3B State-Space VLM Achieves OCR SOTA**: Sarvam Vision, a 3-billion parameter state-space-based vision language model, achieved 84.3% accuracy on olmOCR-Bench, outperforming frontier models while being significantly smaller. Capable of image captioning, scene text recognition, chart interpretation, and table parsing. [link](https://x.com/HarveenChadha/status/2019433999106732336) - **Swarms Framework v9.0.0: Unified GroupChat API**: Swarms consolidated InteractiveGroupChat into GroupChat, reducing API fragmentation with support for dynamic speaker functions, custom collaboration rules, and flexible output types for multi-agent orchestration. [link](https://x.com/jaenanft/status/2019433474978168878) - **Truesight Ships Multimodal Eval Support**: Truesight now enables measuring AI quality across both image understanding and text generation simultaneously—critical for radiology AI, educational tools, and other multimodal systems. Measure coherence between modalities without coding. [link](https://x.com/randal_olson/status/2019430372078153836) - **Kiro CLI v1.25.0: ACP & Enterprise Controls**: Kiro CLI added ACP support (use as agent in JetBrains/Zed), a clever `/help` command that reads actual docs and generates config files, proper CI/CD exit codes, and enterprise admin controls to kill web tools org-wide. [link](https://x.com/FlolightC/status/2019436033905955065) ## 2026-02-05 16:01:01 ## Research & Papers - **SIPDO: Closed-Loop Prompt Optimization via Synthetic Data Feedback**: ICLR 2026 acceptance shows prompt optimization is replaying 40 years of neural network parameter optimization in 3 years—moving from evolutionary search to textual gradients to closed-loop systems where synthetic data actively exposes prompt weaknesses. [link](https://x.com/HaohanWang/status/2019416171519348756) - **BEAVER: Provably Bounding LLM Constraint Satisfaction**: First system to provide deterministic verification that LLMs won't leak data or generate unsafe code—not just benchmarks or estimates, but genuine bounds on constraint satisfaction. Critical for production deployment. [link](https://x.com/nalin_wadhwa/status/2019438361052868926) - **daVinci-Agency: Chain-of-PRs Boosts Software Engineering Performance**: Research shows that maintaining global PR context (chain-of-PRs) substantially improves SWE agent performance and transfers well to real-world tool-use benchmarks beyond coding.
