Tencent open-sourced Hy4, a 770 billion parameter model with a 1 million token context window that beats DeepSeek V4 Pro on Terminal Bench, Ollama shipped a one-click toggle that runs local models inside Claude Desktop with nothing leaving your laptop, and Andrew Ng open-sourced a free AI coworker that finishes real tasks across your desktop. Ad that’s not all, here is everything that happened in AI this week:
Bot Directory is a community-maintained, open-source library of agent prompts that configure themselves. You copy a prompt, paste it into whatever agent you already use, and it walks you through connecting tools and sets itself up as a scheduled bot. No builder, no config file, no code.
Covers the whole org chart: Content creation, marketing, design, sales, ops, and productivity, including things like email triage, daily briefings, SEO fixes, churn warnings, and influencer outreach.
Agent-agnostic: The prompts are plain markdown, so they work with Grok Bot, Rakazo, or basically any agent that can connect tools and run on a schedule.
Fully open and forkable: The repo is public, there is a JSON API and a raw feed for mirroring the catalog, and adding your own bot is a pull request.

Tencent Hunyuan has published WorldClaw, an agentic framework that turns a single text prompt into a large-scale, freely explorable 3D world. The twist is that nothing gets fused into one blob of geometry. Every tree, cart, and building comes out as its own game-ready mesh you can drag, swap, or delete.
Explicit meshes, not splats: Output is textured, instance-level assets rather than video, Gaussian splats, or a panoramic illusion, so scenes drop straight into Blender, Unity, or Unreal without conversion.
A pipeline, not a model: Three stages (intent analysis, global terrain generation, regional object placement) orchestrated by Claude Opus 4.8, using GPT-Image-2, SAM3D, and Hunyuan3D as specialist tools inside Blender.
Extras for real pipelines: Each scene ships with depth maps, normal maps, and instance maps, plus a render-inspect-refine loop that catches scale and object-terrain contact errors.
Auto Company is an open-source project that spins up an entire AI company on your own machine and never stops. Fourteen agents ideate, argue, write code, deploy, and market products in a continuous loop with no human in the loop. It runs on Claude Code by default, with Codex CLI as a second engine.
14 expert personas: Not "you are a developer" but "you are DHH." The roster models Bezos for strategy, Munger for pre-mortems, Werner Vogels for architecture, Seth Godin for marketing, and Ben Thompson for research, plus 30+ loadable skills.
One markdown file as memory: No vector database. Cross-cycle state lives in a single
consensus.mdthat gets read at the start of every cycle and rewritten at the end, passed like a relay baton.Forced convergence and guardrails: Cycle 1 brainstorms, cycle 2 does a GO/NO-GO, cycle 3 must ship. Discussion-only loops are banned, and hard constraints block repo deletion, force pushes, and credential leaks.

Ollama v0.33 ships a Claude Desktop integration that works as a third-party gateway provider. Flip one switch in the Ollama menu and open models appear in Claude Desktop's model picker, running on your own hardware inside Claude's interface.
Your whole Ollama library, in Claude: Qwen, DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, and the rest show up as selectable options, running either locally on your machine or through Ollama Cloud.
Nothing leaves your laptop: Telemetry is off by default and Ollama enforces a zero data retention policy across local and cloud, so a local model means your prompts never touch a server.
One switch, fully reversible: Toggle "Use Ollama models" on in the Ollama menu bar, toggle it off to restore your normal Anthropic setup. Existing features like web search keep working.

Tencent has released and open-sourced Hy4 preview, a Mixture-of-Experts flagship with 770 billion total parameters and a context window past 1 million tokens. It is Apache 2.0 licensed, the weights are free on Hugging Face, and it lands 53 days after Hy3 at 2.6x the size and 4x the context.
Efficient at scale: 770B total parameters with only about 49B activated per token across 78 layers, using Gated DeepSeek Sparse Attention and a built-in MTP layer for speculative decoding.
Terminal Bench leader: Scores 85.4 on Terminal Bench 2.1, surpassing DeepSeek V4 Pro, and jumps from 28.0 to 64.3 on DeepSWE. In a blind eval of 203 engineering tasks judged by 163 experts it hit 2.99/4, ahead of Kimi K3 (2.94) and GLM-5.3 (2.92).
Cheap to run hosted: Weights on Hugging Face, ModelScope, GitCode, and CNB, with FP8 variants, plus API access via Tencent Cloud TokenHub and OpenRouter at $0.834 per million input tokens.

OpenWorker is Andrew Ng's MIT-licensed, local-first desktop agent that hands back finished deliverables instead of chat. You describe an outcome, it plans the steps, works across your files and apps, and returns the actual document, the filled spreadsheet, the triaged inbox.
25+ integrations plus your machine: GitHub, Slack, Jira, Notion, Linear, HubSpot, Outlook, Gmail, Google Calendar, monday.com, and any MCP server you point it at, alongside your local files and terminal.
Any model, including free local ones: Bring your own key for OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google, or run fully local and free with Ollama. The agent loop, conversations, and keys stay in a local secret store.
Approval gates on anything risky: Every tool call is sorted into read, write_local, exec, or external tiers. You approve a tier once and the agent works inside those guardrails, with full logs. It can also run on a schedule or fire on a Slack mention or incoming email.

Thanks for making it to the end! I put my heart into every email I send. I hope you are enjoying it. Let me know your thoughts so I can make the next one even better.
See you tomorrow :)
