It seems I can't look at the internet without seeing talk of Ralph Wiggum or Gas Town. Developers are either running their coding agent in loops or strapping together many parallel coding agents. Coding agents are far and away the most successful agents out there right now, so I always think it's worth keeping an eye on. It's fun to see multiple sub-agents, roles, memory and coordination on one side and a loop on the other. This week in AI++ we have articles on building agent memory,...

Happy 2026! I hope your year has kicked off well and that you're looking forward to a year of building ever more impressive and successful agents. As we head into 2026 I'm looking forward to seeing how MCP continues to evolve under the Agentic AI Foundation, the blossoming of many AI-powered workflows, and how harnesses grow to help us build even better agents. What do you think will be the growth areas for the next few months? In this edition of AI++ we check in with some reviews of 2025,...

It is almost the end of the year, so this is the last edition of the AI++ newsletter for 2025. But we're going out with a bang, announcing the release of Langflow 1.7. This release upgrades Langflow's MCP transports to use Streamable HTTP, adds more agent options with CUGA and ALTK, and brings a bunch of new components for your flows. In other news, Anthropic, OpenAI and Block founded the Agentic AI Foundation gifting the community with the MCP, AGENTS.md, and goose projects. Meanwhile OWASP...

Happy birthday MCP! 🥳 The world's fastest growing protocol was released on 26th November 2024 and has captivated developers and users alike. I am certain that everyone reading this newsletter has used MCP in one way or another, and will be happy to hear that there is plenty of work going on to keep improving and evolving the protocol. In the newsletter this week we have stories on prompt caching, JSON outputs, product evals, and the evolution of LLM extensions that has brought us to the state...

There has been a flurry of new frontier models dropping over the last week that you can already use in your applications. Gemini 3 was released today, and Grok 4.1 and GPT-5.1 both arrived last week. This week we're also learning a lot of lessons from how coding agents are built, including building a coding agent in Langflow if you want hands-on experience with your own. There's also much debate over the efficiency of MCP and whether other tools fit the job better. Phil NashDeveloper...

The topic of security, specifically around prompt injection, is often raised and then dropped with a bit of a shrug as the path to a solution isn't very clear. Thankfully there are people out there thinking hard about it. In AI++ today, there are articles from Meta and Perplexity on this, with ways to mitigate the issue that we should all read and learn from. We've also got news of some great AI events coming up, including the online OpenRAG Summit, along with news of introspective AI models,...

If you like building agents that get work done, you're in for a treat in this newsletter. CUGA is a new agent framework that is topping benchmarks and using all sorts of cunning under the hood to help you build better agents that can execute complex tasks. There is also news on model releases, code execution sandboxes, and the latest podcast episode from The Flow, all on OAuth and MCP. Phil NashDeveloper relations engineer for Langflow 🛠️ Building with AI, Agents & MCP IBM Research releases...

I normally like to open the newsletter with general news in the world of AI, but I've been heads-down with the rest of the Langflow team working on the newly released Langflow version 1.6. With features like OAuth for MCP, a Docling powered file component, and compatibility with the OpenAI API, it's been worth it. What else has been going on then? OpenAI just hosted their DevDay event with a pile of new releases, while Anthropic had people queue for 2 hours for free hats. Everyone else seems...

Over the last weekend the Langflow team was out at the CascadiaJS conference and Cascadia AI Hackathon. It was inspiring to meet so many developers, work with them on their AI hacks, and see fewer demo hiccups than a Meta product launch. The winning team built a full music sequencer, MIDI keyboard and visualizer that generated beats that could then be edited by hand or further with AI. Congratulations to the winning teams and to everyone who built something and learned something new over the...
