๐ŸงตThe Epstein and Maxwell federal cases, all three of them, receive court approval for grand jury disclosures.

A significant majority of the SDNY material is already public, but the SDFL stuff may offer something brand new.

The history of Russian cyberattacks is a history of repeated failure to appreciate warnings. These attacks were not extremely impactful, but they were extremely aggressive. When the GRU attacked US and European food and water, they told us just how far they will go. 1/x
The opportunity here is to appreciate their intent. While the proxy they used had middling capability (even with coaching) the GRU has other, far more capable options. Those options, operating with the same intent, are a very serious threat. 2/x
Given current geopolitics, and other similar signs of intent like recent physical hybrid attacks, the implication here is that Europe is already in the midst of a simmering cyber conflict that may be difficult to appreciate due to the use of proxies. 3/x

Most product strategies are written backwards.

You start with vision, then wonder why your team can't execute it.

Elite PMs flip the sequence: Superpowers first. Vision second.

Here's the framework that separates executable strategy from strategy theater:

1/
A VP once asked me: "What would our vision be if we could only leverage our existing superpowers?"

I started to protest. Vision should be unconstrained.

Then I realized: every successful product I'd shipped was built on unique capabilities we already had.

Every failure was built on capabilities we wished we had.

2/
The typical product strategy sequence:

1. Dream up inspiring vision
2. Identify strategic pillars
3. List features for roadmap
4. Hope the team can execute

It produces 40-slide decks that sound impressive in steering committees.

Announcing Stirrup, our new open source framework for building agents. Itโ€™s lightweight, flexible, extensible and incorporates best-practices from leading agents like Claude Code

Stirrup differs from other agent frameworks by avoiding the rigidity that can degrade output quality. Stirrup lets models drive their own workflow, like Claude Code, while still giving developers structure and building in essential features like context management, MCP support and code execution. We use Stirrup at Artificial Analysis as part of our agentic benchmarks, including as part of our GDPval-AA evaluation being released later today. Just โ€˜pip install stirrupโ€™ to start building your own agents today!

Key advantages:
โžค Works with the model, not against it: Stirrup steps aside and lets the model decide how to solve multi step tasks, as opposed to existing frameworks which impose strict patterns that limit performance.

โžค Best practices built in: We studied leading agent systems (e.g. Claude Code) to extract practical patterns around context handling, tool design, and workflow stability, and embedded those directly into the framework.

โžค Fully customizable:ย Use Stirrup as a package or as a starting template to build your own fully customized agents.

Feature highlights:
โžค Essential tools ready to use: Ships with pre built tools such as online search and browsing, code execution (local, docker, or using an @e2b sandbox), MCP client and document IO

โžค Flexible tool layer: A Generic Tool interface makes it simple to define and extend custom tools

โžค Context management: Automatic summarization to stay within context limits while preserving task fidelity

โžค Provider flexibility: Built in support for OpenAI compatible APIs (including @OpenRouterAI) and LiteLLM, or bring your own client

โžค Multimodal support: Process images, video, and audio with automatic format handlingImage
Stirrup agents can be easily set up in just a few lines of code
Stirrup includes built in logging to help you observe and debug agents

Well, after I emailed Nella this morning 6am asking if she has some info from her end, which might had been helpful in not putting a person in danger for reasons which I cannot know, and told her to get back to me by noon, ofc she ignored it, because she only cares about herself.
Because her boyfriend was in touch with me sporadically during the days I was in Vienna, he can prove at least from his point of view what he knows and is part of my text about the remaining days which continues with the events from August 1st onwards. From what I know, he is a
good guy & I am happy they moved in together. This situation will automatically increase her safety, which had been the only thing I cared & worried about. It'll also prevent that she can put herself in danger again in the future - out of stupidity, especially! That does not mean

๐Ÿงต THREAD: Silverโ€™s Call Skew Just Did Something Big (and gold didnโ€™t followโ€ฆ thatโ€™s the whole story)

Thanx to @themarketear for GREAT KICK-OFF Image
Image
1/ Something unusual just happened in the options market:

Silverโ€™s call skew is exploding upward โ€” separating sharply from gold. This almost never happens without a major move behind it. ๐Ÿฅˆโšก
2/ What is call skew? Itโ€™s how much traders are willing to overpay for far-out bullish call options vs. options near the current price.

When skew jumps, it means:

big money is betting on an upside shock.

BREAKING: SciSpace just dropped a BioMed Agent that understands experiments, datasets, and clinical logic in a single intelligence layer.

Biology now has a system that thinks with you, the closest itโ€™s come to autonomy.

Here's how it works + how to use it:
Every major workflow in biomedical science is split across disconnected tools.

You write, search, model, analyze, and validate in separate places.

BioMed Agent โ†’ scispace.com/biomedical?viaโ€ฆ merges all of it into one engine that works from the language of biology.

๐ŸŽ Discount Codes:
GNBIO20 : 20% off SciSpace [Premium/Advanced] monthly plans
GNBIO40 : 40% off SciSpace [Premium/Advanced] annual plansImage
This is not a general research chatbot.

It is a purpose-built intelligence for molecular biology, genomics, pharmacology, and clinical reasoning.

A system that can execute workflows, not just describe them. Image

NEW: The lawyer and former government official who has just agreed to a $1M settlement with the US Treasury appears to be former George W Bush fundraiser and appointee James C Langdon of Texas, and the sanctioned oligarch appears to be Suleiman Kerimov.

The wife of the current CIO of the US Treasury (who came via DOGE) worked closely with Kerimov at his family office in Europe before coming to Texas to work for a VC firm funded with his money, during the same time Langdon was managing Kerimov's trust.

Kerimov's trust was seized by Treasury in 2022. OFAC also just struck a deal with investment platform IPI Partners for soliciting Kerimov's money post sanctions.

Links--including to my previous reporting on Corcos and Kerimov --below.

There's no indication that Corcos' wife is part of any investigations as of now, but seems possible there are possible conflicts of interest. Corcos omitted his wife's own venture capital firm from his disclosures when brought on by DOGE. He owns a medical tech company with surgeon general nominee Casey Means.

Langdon was known for repping terror link accused Saudis while being close to Bush.

Claude Code can now run agents asynchronously.

Huge for productivity.

You can run many subagents in the background to explore your codebase.

Work continues uninterrupted.

When subagents complete tasks, they wake up/report to the main agent.

Workflows feel faster already!
For those wondering, this was part of the 2.0.64 release: Image
In the clip, I show a quick workflow when you are exploring a codebase.

But you can use it to perform deep research in the background, run some tests, and many other things.

Also, bash commands can do that too.

I like that it wakes up the main agent. I could be researching, building, and planning at the same time.

โ€œCatch upโ€ apparently means โ€œbefore, when I came clean, I was lying. But now Iโ€™m super telling the truthโ€ฆ also I am CIA.โ€ โ€” @patrickbyrne

Well, that certainly raises questions!

Here are mine๐Ÿงต
(1) The title of the July 2023 inaugural Capital Times Magazine article is โ€œDHS Domestic Extremist #1 Comes Clean.โ€ Itโ€™s 99 pages. Iโ€™ve read it a few times.

โ€œI am not a spy; I have never worked with the CIA.โ€

You said in your recent interview with Emerald that that was a lie.
(1a) Question: What else did you lie about when you โ€œcame cleanโ€ in 2023? What about the stories you told before 2023? โ€œHow DJT Lost the Electionโ€ parts 1.1-5โ€ฆ How much of that story was true? (Also, where is part 1.2?) Deep Rig, book and movie โ€” same question? How much of your J6 Committee testimony was truthful?

Hallelujah. The IMF has recognized that China's weak real exchange rate is a problem, and that it has contributed to China's export surplus and growing trade tensions. From @KeithBradsher in the NYT

1/ Image
The IMF has lagged on this issue, not led ... and it still isn't quite calling for a nominal appreciation (though Georgieva may have hinted at the need for nominal appreciation to offset inflation differentials). The EU Chamber is more explicit (from the FT)

2/ Image
The IMF's formal press statement attributes the Yuan's real depreciation to inflation differentials (nominal moves v the USD also played a role in 22/23)
