Erlang/OTP 29.0 has been released, introducing the JIT compiler for x86-64 and ARM64, a new type system with gradual typing, and improved documentation. This update enhances performance and code reliability for Erlang developers, enabling faster execution and better static analysis.
Erlang/OTP 29.0 brings a JIT compiler and gradual typing, boosting performance and code safety.
In the week ending May 15, 2026, three humanoid robots set new records: Figure's F.03 sorted over 50,000 packages autonomously for 40+ hours, Unitree unveiled the GD01 manned mecha, and a Chinese robot named Lightning ran a half marathon in 50:26, beating the human world record. These milestones indicate rapid maturation across different platforms.
Block has handed its open-source agentic AI framework, Goose, to the Linux Foundation. This move aims to foster broader community adoption and governance, similar to how AWS was spun out of Amazon. Developers can expect a more standardized and collaborative development environment for building AI agents.
