Allow editing conversations

Hey @ resource49 ! This brings together a few conversation management requests we have seen into one broader idea. Branching is useful when you want to continue from an earlier point, but it does not really help when the goal is to clean up an existing conversation and keep only the parts that still matter. Being able to remove individual messages, move selected sections into another chat, or save a cleaned up copy while leaving the original untouched would give users much more control over long running conversations. I especially like the idea of preserving the original while creating an edited version, since that gives users room to organize the conversation without losing anything they may want to revisit later. I cannot promise a timeline for changes like this, but I will pass your feedback along internally. - Sunny

Stealing Reasoning Traces from Proprietary LLM APIs

Stealing Reasoning Traces from Proprietary LLM APIs A vanity domain name ( stolen-thoughts.com ) for a neat paper : Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google return encrypted chain-of-thought blocks to clients that can be replayed across sessions, users, and models. We take a trace produced by a frontier model, replay it into a weaker sibling, jailbreak the weaker model, and recover the stronger model’s hidden reasoning in plaintext You can see an example of these encrypted blocks by running: curl https://api.openai.com/v1/responses \ -H " Content-Type: application/json " \ -H " Authorization: Bearer $( llm keys get openai ) " \ -d ' { "model": "gpt-5.6-luna", "input": "Solve step by step: What is the smallest positive integer divisible by every integer from 1 through 20?", "reasoning": { "effort": "medium" }, "include": ["reasoning.encrypted_content"], "store": false, "stream": false } ' Here's the full output , which includes chunks that look like this: "output": [ { "id": "rs_0a7479de7ebae170016a7ba1a0334c8198a95590217efe343c", "type": "reasoning", "content": [], "encrypted_content": "gAAAAABqe6GjepE1wDjbFCZg0BHB6ucGnN0jvzqygG... The paper's authors found that every model under the same family used the same encryption key, which meant you could feed those blocks back into the weakest model family members and jailbreak them into outputting the unencrypted raw reasoning blocks! Sadly it looks like this has now been fixed: All model providers acknowledged the receipt of our report and s…

Comment on Smart Talk: China’s Open Voice Platforms by Samuel

This was an interesting look at how China’s voice platforms were building broader ecosystems rather than focusing only on speech recognition. The combination of hardware, developer tools, content, and cloud services seems especially important for adoption. It also reminds me that successful platforms often depend on the supporting infrastructure around the technology, not just the core innovation. For example, even practical services such as https://www.villamoversindubai.ae/packing-materials-supply/ show how specialized resources can support wider service ecosystems.

datasette-upload-dbs 0.5a0

Release: datasette-upload-dbs 0.5a0 This plugin has been around for a while - it lets users upload a brand new SQLite database to a hosted Datasette instance, at which point that database will start being served by that instance. It can also be used to atomically swap a database with a more recent version. The uploaded database is saved to a file, verified, then swapped in so /name starts serving the new one. The new release adds a formalized API, so you can replace an existing database (or add a new one) like this: curl -X POST \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" \ -H "Accept: application/json" \ -F "db=@content.db" \ -F "db_name=content" \ https://your-instance.example.com/-/upload-dbs This means you can build fresh databases in an environment such as GitHub Actions and swap them in production as soon as that build has completed.

Feature Request: Unified History with Dynamic "Local Workload Migration"

Feature Request: Unified History with Dynamic “Local Workload Migration” Summary: Allow Work Local chat history to sync across the cloud so context is never lost across devices, while treating the local hardware connection as a dynamic workload that can be remotely triggered or migrated. The Problem: Currently, choosing Work Local isolates the entire conversation history to a single machine. If I start a project at home and go to the office, my conversational context is left behind. While I understand this prevents conflicts (e.g., the AI not knowing whether to “remote control” the original machine or look for files on the new device), completely hiding the text history destroys the multi-device workflow. Proposed Solution / Feature Request: Unified History Sidebar: All chat threads (both Cloud and Local) should be synced and visible across all logged-in devices. Context Preservation: I should be able to read my Work Local chat history on my phone or office PC, even if that device doesn’t have the original local files. Dynamic Workload Execution: When opening a Work Local thread on a new device, instead of blocking the chat, give the user a clear toggle with two options: Remote Execution: Trigger the tool/code workload back on the original host machine (if it is online/awake). Migrate Workload: Transfer the execution context to the current device, scanning the current machine’s local directories or programs instead. Why this matters: This bridges the gap between enterprise s…

Claude Opus 5 Just Beat My Text-Based Adventure Game Benchmark

Cross-posted from my Substack . Basically, I created a text-based adventure game benchmark in April, and this morning my agent harness using Claude Opus 5 solved it for the first time. I thought the details might be interesting to this community. First, here are my previous articles on this subject: You’re Standing in a Clearing in a Forest (Apr 10, 2026) Text Adventure Benchmarks Revisited (Jun 14, 2026) Testing Fable 5 on Text Adventure Games (Jul 5, 2026) And a reminder of the domain. This is a small custom text-based adventure I created from scratch as a personal benchmark to run new models of LLMs against. It’s 10 rooms total and the goal is to collect 3 keys (brass, silver, and gold) and use them correctly to unlock the final door in Room 3 to exit the dungeon. The first and most challenging central puzzle is a rotating room (r5) operated by a crank mechanism in r4. The player must first find the handle to the crank in r2, carry it to r4, insert it, and turn it to align openings between r5 and its adjacent rooms. The most difficult aspect of this puzzle seemed to be non-local causal reasoning combined with allocentric coordinates. The crank is two rooms away from the rotating room that it actually turns. When the player turns the crank a grinding sound nearby can be heard through the walls. There is an informational diagram on the wall in the same room as the wall, and it updates with each turn. Earlier models struggled to understand that the diagram was information, a…

IEEE Engineering Summit Supports Bhutan’s Digital Transformation

In collaboration with the Kingdom of Bhutan government, IEEE recently introduced its Engineering Education, Research, and Innovation Summit. Held on 9 and 10 June in Paro, in the eastern Himalayas, the event was designed to help Bhutan navigate its digital transformation by focusing on the critical intersection of digital transformation, engineering education, and sustainable development. The summit brought together global academic leaders, technology experts, and Bhutanese government officials to discuss how modern engineering curricula can evolve from theory-centric models into application- and skills-based frameworks. Discussions focused on how to build high-value research capabilities in the country, integrate artificial intelligence into higher education , and address foundational infrastructure challenges to ensure equitable, nationwide digital readiness. “IEEE is proud to collaborate as a catalyst for progress in higher education as AI shifts the technology landscape and Bhutan prepares for its next era of innovation and resilience,” Mary Ellen Randall , 2026 IEEE president and CEO, said at the event. “Our goal is to support local universities and students as they develop trusted, future-ready technology that honors the nation’s commitment to sustainability and human well-being.” The event featured an address by Bhutanese Princess Chimi Yangzom Wangchuck , who emphasized the importance of aligning technological innovation with the nation’s philosophy of gross national…

Java 28 adds simple JSON API to features list

Java Development Kit (JDK) 28 , a non-LTS (Long-Term Support) or “feature release” of standard Java due in March 2027, continues to take shape. Features listed for JDK 28 now include a simple JSON API, which joins a preview of value objects, switching the default mode of the Shenandoah garbage collector to generational mode, and a preview of strict field initialization in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) previously proposed to target the release. As a non-LTS release, JDK 28 will be backed by six months of support by Oracle. The simple JSON API proposal defines a simple, standard API for parsing and generating JSON documents so that doing so does not require an external library. The intent is to enable many JSON processing tasks to be accomplished with little coding. A standard means would be provided in the Java platform to process JSON Data Interchange Format with minimal ceremony. The three features previously targeted to JDK 28 include the following: Introduce value objects , which are immutable and lack object identity. Value objects are distinguished by the values of their fields, and can be represented by the JVM in ways that improve performance. A goal of the feature is to give developers a programming model for immutable data in which the == operator, and all other operations, distinguish objects by the values of their fields rather than their identities. Value objects is a preview language and VM feature . Switch the default mode of the Shenandoah Garbage Collector (…
