OpenAI has gained AI developer Peter Steinberger, creator of the popular AI assistant OpenClaw, to help develop the next generation of personal agents, while OpenClaw will become an open-source project supported by OpenAI, according to TechCrunch. In other news, a developer released a Tcl interpreter in 500 lines of code, and a team built a SQLite-like engine in Rust using AI agents.
Steinberger's move to OpenAI was announced recently, marking a significant development in the AI landscape. OpenClaw, a well-regarded AI assistant, will transition to an open-source model, with OpenAI providing support. This shift aims to foster community development and collaboration around the technology, as reported by TechCrunch.
Meanwhile, on Hacker News, a developer revisited their 2007 project, releasing "Picol," a Tcl-alike interpreter written in just 500 lines of code. The creator noted that the code, originally written in March 2007, was a good example of C programming. "I wanted to write an interpreter with a design similar to a real one," the developer explained, adding that the goal was to create a simple, understandable program.
In a separate project highlighted on Hacker News, a team utilized AI agents to build a SQLite-like engine in Rust. The project, which involved Claude, Codex, and Gemini, resulted in a 19,000-line codebase. The engine included features such as a parser, planner, executor, pager, btrees, WAL, recovery, joins, aggregates, indexing, transaction semantics, grouped aggregates, and stats-aware planning. The team implemented 282 unit tests, all of which passed. The project was built using a distributed systems approach, incorporating git, lock files, tests, and merge discipline.
