Big week: **Eliza-1 (Qwen3.5-based) just dropped a full model lineup—from phone-offline to 1M context** 🚀

**🛠️ Key technical updates (2026-05-08 → 2026-05-14):**
- 🔐 **`@elizaos/vault` landed**: cross-platform secrets vault + Settings UI integration for safer key storage (OS keychain + headless Linux fallback).
- 💬 **Slack connector is now in the monorepo**: `@elizaos/plugin-slack` migration includes **11 actions**, **3 providers**, and **120 unit tests**.
- ☁️ **Cloud apps leveled up**: work merged for **monetized container apps + managed domains**, including app-scoped chat endpoints and improved deployment status reconciliation.
- 🤖 **Automation UX progress**: n8n clarification round-trip + UI improvements (quick-pick clarifications, better resolve flow) to make workflow generation smoother.
- 🧩 **Plugin ecosystem infra**: v2 plugin registry submission hit **404/access issues** (investigation ongoing; possible shift back to direct PRs).

**🌐 Community highlights:**
- ⛏️ **GODL (Solana on-chain mining) integration proposal**: GODL’s `skill.md` format was confirmed compatible with elizaOS tooling—discussion moving forward in DMs.
- 🧠 **Eliza v3 questions surfaced**: community asked for clarity on v3 priorities (stabilization vs public autonomous workflow stack) + AgentID/identity integration status.

**🏁 auto.fun / AI16z:**
- 🏆 **auto.fun AI Sprint winners announced** (Build4 took 1st, Clawdyland 2nd).
- 🪙 **AI16z token**: no official update this week; community is watching closely and awaiting clarity.

**Next up 🔭**: v3 roadmap answers, restoring plugin registry flow, and early experiments integrating GODL-style skills + agent-managed strategies.
