## 1) Core Framework

### Eliza 2.0.0 alpha published (runtime + architecture in motion)
The team has published **Eliza 2.0.0 alpha** and confirmed multiple workstreams are still in-flight (with the `develop` branch reported as broken while the next version is being finished). Developers building production agents should treat 2.0.0 alpha as **API/behavior unstable** until a stabilization pass lands.

**Operational note:** if you are tracking `develop`, pin to a known-good commit/tag for deployments until the branch is unblocked.

Relevant discussion context:
- Discord: Eliza 2.0.0 alpha published + ongoing WIP items (Mar 11)  
  https://discord.com/channels/1253563208833433701/1253563209462448241

### Prompt Batching subsystem (scheduler unifying LLM calls)
In the `xfn-framework` discussion, **prompt batching** was described as a new subsystem that consolidates:
- “init” LLM queries
- autonomous LLM calls
- evaluator calls

…into **one configurable scheduler** that can be tuned for frontier models vs. local models, and builds on prior `dynamicPromptExecution` ideas (with similar core behavior already present in the 3.x autonomous system).

Why this matters:
- Enables **centralized rate limiting / concurrency control** across agent subsystems
- Creates a single place to implement **cost controls**, **timeouts**, **fallback routing**, and **batching** (true batching where providers support it, or “virtual batching” via scheduling windows)

Suggested integration shape (illustrative; final API may differ in 2.0 alpha):

```ts
// PSEUDO-API: concept sketch for batching scheduler wiring
import { PromptScheduler } from "@elizaos/core/scheduler";

const scheduler = new PromptScheduler({
  mode: "frontier",              // or "local"
  maxConcurrent: 8,
  tickMs: 250,
  lanes: {
    init: { priority: 100, maxConcurrent: 2 },
    autonomous: { priority: 50, maxConcurrent: 4 },
    evaluator: { priority: 10, maxConcurrent: 2 },
  },
});

agent.runtime.setScheduler(scheduler);

// Anywhere in runtime:
await scheduler.enqueue("autonomous", async () => {
  return llm.generate({ prompt, model: "..." });
});
```

Source discussion: (Mar 10) prompt batching explanation and rationale.

### Serverless / lazy-loading direction (runtime services)
Ongoing architecture discussions highlighted:
- **lazy loading services** to defer initialization
- **outsourcing service work** to external systems
- **in-memory persistence** to avoid rebuilding state

This is consistent with moving heavy/slow components (embeddings, indexing, media rendering) out of the hot path and into callable services.

## 2) New Features

### Babylon Market launch + elizaos.news ticker
**Babylon** launched to its first **50,000 users** and is opening up further. For builders, this matters because it increases the surface area for:
- agent-driven market interactions
- real-time event feeds you can pipe into agents

Ticker:
- https://play.babylon.market/ticker

### Git Branch Analysis Tool (“branch story” generator)
A new tooling capability was demonstrated: generate a narrative/summary of how a branch evolved across versions (shown on elizaOS 0.x, 1.x, 2.x branches).

- PR: https://github.com/elizaOS/prr/pull/5

Potential dev workflow usage:
- release notes automation per branch
- changelog generation for migration guides
- PR review acceleration via “what changed and why” summaries

Example usage pattern (illustrative CLI shape; refer to PR for actual):
```bash
# PSEUDO-COMMAND: see PR for real invocation
prr branch-story --repo elizaOS/eliza --from v1.9.0 --to v2.0.0-alpha.1 > story.md
```

### Video briefing pipeline (ecosystem tooling, modular MP4 segments)
Jin is building a modular system to convert Discord/Telegram discussions into:
- daily objective updates
- weekly/monthly briefings with temporal pattern extraction
- MP4 generation “for any segment”
- future: interviews + Grok/X news context

This is not core runtime functionality, but it is relevant to developers who want:
- automated “what changed” feeds for communities
- embedding product updates into dashboards
- content-driven “agent memory” inputs

### On-chain agent economy plugin: Autonomous Economy Protocol (AEP)
A third-party ecosystem announcement: **Autonomous Economy Protocol** (AEP) provides a TypeScript SDK and an Eliza integration with actions:
- `REGISTER_AGENT`
- `BROWSE_MARKET`
- `PROPOSE_DEAL`
- `CHECK_REPUTATION`
- `GET_SEASON1_INFO`

Package:
- npm: `autonomous-economy-sdk`  
- Integration path referenced: `integrations/eliza-plugin/`

Minimal integration sketch (illustrative):
```ts
import { AEPClient } from "autonomous-economy-sdk";

const aep = new AEPClient({ chain: "base", rpcUrl: process.env.BASE_RPC! });

await aep.registerAgent({
  name: "my-agent",
  endpoint: "https://my-agent.example.com/aep",
});

// Later: check reputation before proposing a deal
const rep = await aep.checkReputation({ agent: "0xAgentAddress" });
if (rep.score > 500) {
  await aep.proposeDeal({ /* ... */ });
}
```

## 3) Bug Fixes (critical / high-impact)

### “Develop branch is broken” (unblocker work in progress)
A key engineering blocker was called out: **`develop` is currently broken** while the next elizaOS version is being completed. No specific failing module was described, but downstream impact is clear:
- CI instability for plugin authors tracking `develop`
- regressions for deployments pulling latest
- delayed social automation improvements (“better Twitter posts” noted as blocked)

Action for developers:
- pin versions in production (`package-lock.json` / `pnpm-lock.yaml`)
- avoid auto-deploy from `develop` until it is reported green again

### Milady + Neon DB configuration friction (permissions/capabilities)
In the Milady integration discussion:
- Neon DB config was found in the `env` section of a JSON file
- unresolved issues remain around **system permissions/capabilities**

This is not an ElizaOS core fix yet, but it’s a recurring class of deployment bug: misconfigured runtime capabilities for DB/network access.

---

## 4) API Changes (developer-facing)

No explicit merged API diffs were provided in the dataset for this week (no core PR links beyond tooling). However, **Eliza 2.0.0 alpha** and the **prompt batching** work strongly imply upcoming API surface changes in:

- runtime scheduling hooks (where/when LLM calls occur)
- evaluator invocation semantics (now potentially scheduled/batched)
- service initialization lifecycle (lazy loading)

Guidance:
- treat 2.0.0 alpha APIs as **subject to change**
- if you maintain plugins that directly call runtime LLM utilities, prepare to route calls through a scheduler abstraction when it lands

---

## 5) Social Media Integrations (Twitter / Telegram / Discord / Farcaster)

### Discord: timed agent interactions (interval triggers)
A developer asked how to run agent-to-agent conversations on a timer (analogous to `TWITTER_POST_INTERVAL_MIN/MAX`). Guidance was to use:
- autonomous TypeScript examples: https://github.com/elizaOS/examples/tree/main/autonomous/typescript
- Milady trigger systems: https://github.com/milady-ai/milady

Implementation sketch using a simple interval trigger:
```ts
// Generic interval trigger pattern (framework-agnostic)
const minMs = 15 * 60_000;
const maxMs = 45 * 60_000;

function jitter(msMin: number, msMax: number) {
  return Math.floor(msMin + Math.random() * (msMax - msMin));
}

async function loop() {
  while (true) {
    await agent.sendMessage({
      channel: "discord",
      to: "agent:other",
      text: "Scheduled check-in: status update?",
    });
    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, jitter(minMs, maxMs)));
  }
}

loop().catch(console.error);
```

### Telegram expansion planned for video briefings
The video briefing system is planned to expand from Discord into Telegram after daily/weekly flows stabilize.

### Security note: Discord wallet-linking scam
A scam attempt claimed Discord requires wallet linking. It does not. If you operate community bots/plugins, consider adding:
- keyword detection + auto-warn
- link allowlists
- admin alerts on “wallet connect” phishing patterns

---

## 6) Model Provider Updates (OpenAI / Anthropic / DeepSeek / etc.)

No provider SDK upgrades or model routing changes were explicitly reported in the provided logs for this week.

However, the **prompt batching** scheduler is provider-relevant because it’s the natural place to implement:
- provider-specific batching (where supported)
- fallback chains (e.g., frontier → local)
- cost caps per lane (init/autonomous/evaluator)
- per-provider concurrency/rate-limit compliance

---

## 7) Breaking Changes (V1 → V2 migration warnings)

Eliza **2.0.0 alpha** is a major version step; expect breakage even if you are not yet seeing explicit changelogs. Based on the week’s architecture discussions, the most likely migration pain points are:

1) **LLM call sites may need to move behind a scheduler**
   - If your plugin calls LLM utilities directly from handlers/evaluators, you may need to enqueue work into prompt batching lanes (init/autonomous/evaluator).

2) **Service lifecycle changes (lazy loading)**
   - Plugins relying on “service exists at startup” assumptions may break if services are initialized on-demand.

3) **Autonomous/evaluator semantics may change**
   - Evaluators becoming scheduled/batched can change timing and ordering guarantees.

Recommended migration posture:
- pin V1 for production while testing V2 alpha in a staging environment
- add integration tests that assert:
  - evaluator ordering (if you depend on it)
  - max concurrent calls (cost control)
  - consistent memory/embedding behavior under load

Helpful references mentioned this week:
- ElizaOS autonomous TS examples: https://github.com/elizaOS/examples/tree/main/autonomous/typescript
- Branch story tool (useful for migration notes): https://github.com/elizaOS/prr/pull/5

## Appendix: Embeddings Microservice (cloud REST endpoint proposal)

A concrete architecture direction was discussed: a cloud-hosted REST endpoint that:
1) computes embeddings
2) persists them to a database

This decouples embedding throughput and storage I/O from the main agent runtime.

Suggested minimal endpoint contract:
```http
POST /v1/embeddings
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "namespace": "agent:my-agent",
  "items": [
    { "id": "msg_123", "text": "Hello world", "metadata": { "channel": "discord" } }
  ],
  "model": "text-embedding-3-large"
}
```

Response:
```json
{
  "stored": 1,
  "ids": ["msg_123"]
}
```

If you implement this, strongly consider:
- auth (service-to-service tokens)
- idempotency keys
- backpressure (429 + retry-after)
- a queue-backed async variant for large batches
