Verkor’s Design Conductor generated an ASAP7 7nm GDSII layout for the VerCore RISC-V CPU from a 219-word English spec in 12 hours, with no engineer in the design loop; the reported result scored 3,261 CoreMark at 1.48GHz, but it has not been fabricated and lacks cache implementation.

llama.cpp server exposes an experimental --tools flag with 8 native tools, including file reads, grep search, shell execution, file edits, diffs, and datetime; the post says file operations are relative to the server launch directory and no command whitelist or strict sandbox is provided yet.

HomoAgens1 runs a local ReAct orchestration loop on Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, with about 3B active parameters, a 12GB GPU, 30 expert offload, and 40 tokens/s prompt generation; smaller dense models fail first on tool-call discipline, inventing arguments or repeating bad calls, while reasoning is not identified as the first break point.

Kakuna hardens prototype codebases with built-in checklists and a plan-goal workflow; one roughly 16-hour run can generate hundreds of commits while preserving functionality.
