New agent frameworks, tool-calling models, and ultra-light runtimes

This cluster tracks the push toward practical, interoperable AI agents that can reliably call tools and run almost anywhere. OpenRouter benchmarks tool-calling models, while Mcp2cli promises one CLI for every API with far fewer tokens than native MCP. Autoresearch and Agent MD showcase agents autonomously exploring code and research tasks, and a 5MB RAM agent demo highlights the drive for ultra-light runtimes. Meanwhile, big tech’s rush to open-source agent frameworks reveals a strategic bid to own the developer ecosystem around these capabilities.
