Show Notes

Today's AgentStack Daily covers GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra heading to Codex alongside a GitHub-listed Code workspace update, plus Synthetic Sciences' OpenScience AI workbench for scientific research. Independent Build ships a 270M-parameter open-weights LM, Qwen's staggered release reignites local model viability questions, and an Ollama-only local web agent took r/ollama's front page. Research picks include cross-PR attacks on coding agents, multi-agent off-the-record debate channels, and self-evolving rubrics for agentic skill evaluation.
