1+ min ago (163+ words) Behat's WebAPIExtension was a simple and effective way to test JSON-based APIs using Gherkin steps. On July 14, 2025, the repository was archived by its owner and became read-only, meaning it's no longer maintained, but not abandoned in purpose. At Webship.co, we saw great value in the extension's structured API-testing approach. So instead of letting it fade away, we rebuilt all of its step definitions in Node.js and integrated them directly into Webship-JS. Now, teams can use the same clear BDD style, but with modern JavaScript tooling and active support. Why WebAPIExtension was worth reviving We kept all these strengths, and enhanced them. What's new in Webship-js Our rebuilt API steps now support: Although the original WebAPIExtension is now archived, its value continues. With our Node.js rebuild, Webship-JS brings it back " cleaner, faster, and actively maintained. The same familiar…...

4+ min ago (479+ words) Bright engineering minds from tech behemoths are teaming up for a new venture. UMA (Universal Mechanical Assistant), a new robotics intelligence company founded by former leaders from Tesla, Google DeepMind, Nvidia, and Hugging Face, has officially launched. The company aims to build humanoid and mobile robots capable of doing real work, in real settings, and at an industrial scale. With a founding team responsible for breakthroughs in deep learning, robot learning, and open-source AI, UMA believes the next decade of AI will not be defined by screens, but by machines that work beside humans. UMA's founding team includes four prominent figures who have helped define the modern AI landscape, according to a press release dated December 1. R'mi Cadene played a key role in developing Tesla Autopilot and Optimus, and helped democratize robot learning at Hugging Face with LeRobot. Pierre Sermanet…...

5+ min ago (428+ words) This gateway supports four AI scenarios: Below I explain each of these scenarios. Note I'm discussing the open-source agentgateway " some features may exist only in the enterprise edition and are outside the scope of this doc. agentgateway was originally started to address the difficulty of handling stateful MCP requests in existing Envoy data planes. So its MCP support is the most complete. agentgateway fetches public keys from a JWKS path to verify tokens were issued by the corresponding authorization server. There are two JWKS sources: The code that gets public keys from JWKS appears to be called only when parsing configuration. So the JWKS does not seem to be periodically refreshed. Authorization is also implemented via OAuth. It uses a list of CEL expressions as filters, matching on JWT fields and MCP attributes. Example: Note: in multiplexing scenarios, mcpAuthorization runs…...

6+ min ago (393+ words) DeepSeek's new v3.2 models combine elite math scores with budget-friendly compute tricks Chinese startup DeepSeek has casually lobbed two new enormous AI models into the already smoldering international arms race: DeepSeek-V3.2, a model built for everyday reasoning, and DeepSeek-V3.2-Speciale, a high-octane variant that allegedly outperformed top American models in elite math and coding competitions. Not only that, but they released them under an open-source license. What makes this move notable isn't just the models and their capabilities, but also how they were released. American firms like OpenAI and Google rely on powerful, and often expensive, models relying on private APIs and red-team testing for the most cutting-edge models. DeepSeek has weaponized openness. DeepSeek's "thinking in tool-use" breakthrough is especially notable. Most AI agents struggle to juggle multiple tools because each action resets their internal reasoning. DeepSeek fixed that by preserving…...

8+ min ago (584+ words) Canadian businesses deal with an extensive regulatory framework enforced by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and multiple PGAs, including the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Transport Canada, and Environment and Climate Change Canada. Each imported shipment may require approvals from one or more of these agencies before it can be released. The integration of 9 PGAs and 38 government programs into the SWI creates a more unified process, but it also means that filing requirements are broader and more data-heavy than before. As a result, importers must ensure that each import declaration is complete and accurate, with the correct tariff classifications, permits, certificates, and supplementary documents. Any missing information can delay release decisions or trigger costly administrative follow-ups. In this environment, efficiency and precision are no longer optional " they are operational necessities. To keep pace with growing regulatory demands, Canada has been…...

10+ min ago (494+ words) Artificial intelligence is quickly evolving from simple prompt-based systems into autonomous agents capable of reasoning, planning, and acting independently. Organizations across industries are now exploring the process of creating autonomous AI agents to streamline operations, reduce manual work, and unlock intelligent automation at scale. Autonomous agents can execute tasks, interact with software tools, analyze data, and refine their performance'all with minimal human oversight. This makes them a powerful upgrade from traditional chatbots, static RPA, or single-step AI workflows. What Are Autonomous AI Agents? Autonomous AI agents are software entities designed to perform goal-driven tasks independently. They rely on a mix of large language models, memory systems, reasoning engines, and tool execution frameworks to complete workflows. Break tasks into actionable steps Execute commands across systems Adapt to changing requirements Improve performance over time Unlike simple automation scripts, autonomous agents can think,…...
