Three quick reads for the middle of your day. Sandwich optional.
Coding agents go offline
The latest Antigravity SDK update lets developers run agents on their own hardware using Google AI Edge LiteRT and a Gemma 4 model. That means no API bill, no rate limits and no source code leaving the building.
The clever part is the hybrid setup: a small cloud model plans the work, and local models do the heavy lifting. In security audit demos, nearly 98 percent of processed tokens stayed on the machine. If your company bans cloud tools for sensitive code, this one is worth a look.

A game console you can see through
The Arduview is a credit-card-sized console where nearly everything is transparent, down to the circuit board. It weighs 50 grams, has a 1.51-inch 128 by 64 display and runs on an 8-bit chip, with more than 300 small games from the open source Arduboy world.
Pledges start around $75 on Kickstarter. It is a collector’s toy rather than a gaming rig, and early testers call the controls stiff. Still: see-through electronics, please come back.

Tool of the day: Ask a document to disagree with you
Next time you finish a long proposal, paste it into your favorite assistant and ask: “List the three strongest objections a skeptical reader would raise, and quote the lines they would point to.” The quotes matter, because you can check them in seconds. It takes two minutes, and it beats finding out in the meeting.
