On Tuesday, the Allen Institute of AI (Ai2) launched MolmoWeb, a new open-source visual web agent that is part of Ai2’s Molmo 2 model family, reports Frederic Lardinois in today’s lead story.
The new model comes in two sizes: 4 billion parameters and 8 billion parameters, making them small enough to run locally. As with virtually all of Ai2’s models, the team is also making the weights, training data, to-be-released code, and evaluation tools available.
AI agents that can browse the web and complete tasks on behalf of their users have gotten significantly better over the last few months, but the models that power them have, for the most part, remained proprietary. The launch of MolmoWeb has cracked open the door.
Burns argues that as testing frameworks mature, developers will stop reviewing most code and programming languages will evolve to match.
For this edition of The New Stack Makers, I sat down with Brendan Burns, one of the co-founders of Kubernetes, to talk about how AI is changing the infrastructure he helped create. After his work on Kubernetes at Google, Burns joined Microsoft a decade ago and now runs Azure's container infrastructure and resource management organization of about 1,400 engineers and...

As ML workloads become revenue-critical, “good enough” latency doesn’t cut it anymore. In this session, we explored why real-time context has become the core data primitive for modern AI.
The Claude Code Skill ecosystem is expanding rapidly. As of March 2026, the anthropics/skills repository reached over 87,000 stars on GitHub and more people are building and sharing Skills every week.
GitHub Copilot’s effect on collaboration has stunned researchers
A Harvard study of 187,000 developers finds GitHub Copilot reshapes how programmers work, boosting coding time 12.4% while cutting project management by 24.9%.
