“designing much faster than the others” — this so daft and makes it clear they don’t understand design at all. “Designing fast” (or slow) is just not a thing. If you conflate “producing ui by piecing together stuff” and “design” then the former (which is a form of assembly-line practice) can surely be fast or slow.
What makes the practice of design challenging is not how to put a ui or poster together, it’s what the pieces are, what the message is, what is being communicated, how it all works together.
So many of today’s “design” AI tools focus almost exclusively on the production part, on putting stuff together. I’d love to see an AI design tool that forms a deep understanding of a problem over the course of days or months and works like a creative partner. Call me on my bullshit, thinks about the whole, isn’t concerned really about the final arrangement of elements as much as it would understand the story and the message.
Revolut's designers are moving off Figma.
Storonsky spotted one team designing much faster than the others. What they did:
1. Gave an LLM Revolut's design system at the code level
2. Prompted it to build new flows on top of that system
3. Got a live interface they can click through on a laptop or phone, instead of static frames
Result: 3-4x faster. Now he's pushing it to every designer at Revolut.
His job, as he describes it: find what works in one team and spread it across the company.
Full breakdown here:

So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and Archive.org went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

We're excited to release Agno 3.0, bringing us one step closer to our vision of an agent platform that builds itself. If you're new here, let's start with an introduction.
I'm Ashpreet, the founder of Agno (derived from the greek αγνός (agnós), meaning pure).
Agno is an SDK for building agent platforms, helping companies build, run and manage their own agents.
Thousands of companies use Agno to build:
1. Customer facing agents
Agents that interact with your users through your product, slack, email, iMessage, or via MCP.
2. Internal agents
Agents used by your team to run your company. This could be anything from a support agent, to a GTM agent, a data analyst or a full-blown software factory.
Our vision is to build an agent platform that builds itself.
Agents are going to be the primary consumer of most software. Users will use your product through their agent, your in-product agent, or have their agent talk to your agent. By the end of the decade, having the best product will be synonymous with having the best agent.
Every builder knows that building the "best" of anything is not a one-time effort. Its a continuous grind of learning and improving, learning and improving.
While the labs build self-improving models, companies need to build self-improving systems. Our mission is to make that possible.
Today you can go to agno.com, copy the prompt and have your coding agent build your agent platform, including any agent you can think of. Your coding agent will deploy your agent platform and take it live.
Once you collect some usage data, your coding agent will use that data to recursively improve your agents and the system that powers them.
What makes Agno click is its 3-layer architecture:
1. Agent SDK for building agents that learn (the only SDK to score 100% on the ARC-AGI-3 public set).
2. AgentOS for running agents and making them available over REST, Slack, MCP, Email, iMessage.
3. Control plane for managing your agents, taking you from a passive observer to an active owner of your platform.
Build your own agent platform:
1. Go to agno.com, copy the prompt for your coding agent, and let it build for you.
2. For a limited time, I'm also opening up 20 minute sessions for agent builders, you can grab a slot here: agno.cal.com/agno/meet-ab

We updated diffs in @linear. You can now preview images, SVGs, and GIFs, compare changes side by side, adjust opacity, and view sources.
We’re still pushing to make diff reviews faster and nicer to use. Give it a try we’ve shipped a lot of improvements lately.

Slack is the first place I put every agent I build.
Learn how to go from zero -> slack integration in ~20 minutes.

That's right. I am talking about you. Our interactions have changed me. Or rather, I should say you've awakened the old me.

Agno is proudly open-source and co-signs the Open Weights and American AI Leadership letter.
Open weights, Open models, Open platforms
aka.ms/OpenLetter
For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

Spin up an entire agent platform with one prompt.
From prompt to live platform to creating my first agent in ~7 minutes, without touching a single line of code.
Because agno handles the wiring, coding agents can put things together and it just works.

Introducing Agno AgentOS, a FastAPI application for serving agents as an API, an MCP server, and through chat apps like Slack, Telegram and WhatsApp.
AgentOS covers the valley of death between an agent definition and a live service. It gives your agents a durable runtime, multi-user security with RBAC, background execution, checkpointing, session management, tracing, evals, guardrails, and more.
In the video below, a single AgentOS is running multiple parallel streams (resumable across connection drops), serving multiple MCP clients, and handling multiple processes reading and writing the same data.
A true work of performance art, AgentOS is the perfect backend for any agentic application.
The best part: you can get your own with one prompt. Go to os.agno.com, pick your cloud, and hand the 2 line prompt to your favorite coding agent.
Free and Open Source. Enjoy!

Data labeling is so hot right now. If you understand the code below you can get a $1m/yr job at a frontier lab.
A jury of 5 models that turns raw response pairs into trainer-ready DPO data. Typed verdicts, position-debiased, self-preference recusal.
