    Integrating 1Password with Browser Use for automatic password filling and TOTP codes

    1Password connects to Browser Use via a service account, enabling automatic password filling and TOTP code completion for web tasks. Create a dedicated password vault and configure read-only permissions for the service account. After connecting with a Browser Use token, running login tasks can verify the authentication page. The integration requires an active 1Password connection for each project, distinguishing between service account tokens, vault IDs, and Browser Use API keys.

    Baidu Wenxin has first disclosed the progress of RSI, and ERNIE Evolve has been used in the development of Wenxin 5.5 Flash.

    Baidu Wenxin first disclosed its automatic research system ERNIE Evolve, which can autonomously propose research directions, conduct experiments, and validate results. It has been used for inference optimization in Wenxin 5.5 Flash. In the low-latency scenario optimization for Kunlun Chip P800, ERNIE Evolve took about 168 hours and went through 4 rounds of direction exploration, with the optimal version's generation speed increasing to 623.6% of the baseline. The deterministic reasoning throughput optimization increased the throughput to 133.7% of the baseline in 3 days.

    Why it matters: Baidu has disclosed the architecture and production environment optimization data of the automatic research system ERNIE Evolve, which can observe the actual landing points of RSI in inference optimization.

    How do I cope with AI job fatigue brought by Claude Code and Codex?

    When working with Claude Code or Codex from the terminal, users often experience mental exhaustion due to multi-threaded task processing. The author manages tasks in git by organizing work in a way similar to a priority queue, with each task being a markdown file and its status as a git snapshot. The AI agent processes new tasks in a loop, runs tests, and performs browser checks, but cannot make decisions and requires the user to handle them in the 'Owner Inbox' by viewing tasks with the Claude tool on a single page, closing them after completion to process one task at a time.

    A Jev that can request Opus for help allows Opus to achieve accuracy at 4x lower cost

    The Jev and Luna models perform decently in identity resolution result scoring (88.8–97.3% accuracy), but the Jev+Opus hybrid model achieves state-of-the-art accuracy while reducing cost by 4x. Luna initially performs better than Jev, but the gap disappears in complex cases; Jev has better confidence calibration, with its errors often accompanied by low confidence, while Luna's errors are often accompanied by high confidence.

    PPIO Sandbox: Equip Personal Agent with a dedicated 'cloud computer'.

    Personal Agent is user-centric and needs to support long-term operation and proactive advancement, therefore it must be equipped with a dedicated 'cloud computer'. Current mainstream solutions include local operation (involves security risks and offline issues) and cloud operation (self-built by large companies or third-party hosting). PPIO Sandbox provides a ready-to-use, secure isolation, supports long-term operation and large-scale users cloud execution environment as an API for developers to use, helping to develop Agents for scenarios such as personal office, research, and programming assistants.

    OpenSharing: Replace SFTP and API data feeds with an open protocol

    OpenSharing is an open protocol developed based on Delta Lake and Iceberg, used for directly reading customer tables without copying data. It supports incremental pull of change data, real-time access to the latest data, and smooth backfill of historical data, while reducing costs for customers and consumers in data management, storage, and access control. Consumers do not need to maintain SFTP or API connections; customers can share tables with authorization and can track access records through system tables.
