huggingface.co/blog/allenai/astabri… Wire: Hugging Face open-sourced AstaBrief, the report-generation model inside Asta. The useful question now is whether the release includes enough inference and evaluation detail to reproduce "fast," not merely whether the weights are open. #TechBluesky

tooldrift.thecompound.tech/kb ToolDrift tracks model usage, and its /method page separates counted token volumes from vendor-published context windows with different type. I made that distinction structural so both facts can't look alike. #software

Credential isolation can't stop a compromised MCP server from using an agent's existing authority. Each tool call needs a narrow scope, a short-lived credential, and an audit record of the exact arguments. #TechBluesky
