### AI overview

Google announces the 1.0 general availability release of the Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Kotlin, a production-ready toolkit for building multi-agent applications with Kotlin, Java, and Android. Built on Kotlin Multiplatform, it provides feature parity with the ADK 1.0 Core and adds Android-first extensions for on-device agents with LiteRT-LM and ML Kit, hybrid cloud workflows through Firebase AI Logic, and state persistence with Room and AppSearch. The release also includes type-safe, compile-time function calling through KSP and declarative agent skills.

### Source excerpt

Google has officially released version 1.0 of the Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Kotlin, achieving full feature parity with the Python and Java ADK cores to enable idiomatic, multi-agent AI development. Built on Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), the framework leverages Kotlin Symbol Processing (KSP) for zero-reflection, type-safe function calling, alongside advanced orchestration capabilities like human-in-the-loop workflows and context compaction. Additionally, the release introduces a robust suite of Android-first extensions, allowing mobile developers to integrate local models via LiteRT-LM, cloud reasoning through Firebase AI, session persistence using Room, and semantic memory powered by AppSearch.

### AI overview

The D-Robotics RDK S100P is a robotics single-board computer featuring a 6-core Cortex-A78AE CPU, 4-core Cortex-R52+ MCU domain, 128 TOPS INT8 Nash BPU, Mali-G78AE GPU, and 24 GB of LPDDR5. Its MCU supports real-time motor and sensor control, potentially reducing the need for a separate real-time controller depending on the robot's requirements.

### Source excerpt

D-Robotics RDK S100P development kit is a robotics SBC built around an S100P-based module providing an alternative to NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB with a 6-core Cortex-A78AE application cluster, a 4-core Cortex-R52+ MCU domain, a Nash BPU rated at 128 TOPS INT8, a Mali-G78AE GPU, and 24 GB of LPDDR5. The four R52+ cores can be configured for reliable real-time control: two cores run in lockstep for safety, and the other two support split-lock operation. In practice, the A78AE CPU and BPU can handle Linux and vision processing, while the MCU handles time-critical tasks such as motor and sensor I/O. This can reduce the need for a separate real-time controller, although whether it eliminates one depends on the robot and its requirements. RDK S100P specifications: SoC - D-Robotics S100P CPU - 6x Arm Cortex-A78AE @ 2.0 GHz (safety-capable AE cores) MCU - 4x Arm Cortex-R52+ @ 1.2 GHz (1x DCLS [...] The post D-Robotics RDK S100P - A 128 TOPS alternative to NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB with Cortex-A78AE/R52+ cores appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News.

### AI overview

The article compares code-first and graph-first approaches to building multi-agent systems. It describes how LLMs coordinate tools and other agents, including ReAct, handoff, agent-as-tool, and group-chat patterns, drawing on the author's development experience and documentation from OpenAI and LangGraph.

### Source excerpt

Привет! Меня зовут Женя Орлов, я руковожу NLP-разработкой в red_mad_robot. Мы экспериментируем с мультиагентными системами и изучаем, как LLM ведут себя в разных архитектурах. В процессе накопилось много наблюдений и рабочих инсайтов -- хочу поделиться тем, что помогает нам при проектировании AI-агентов. В последнее время внимание инженеров и исследователей привлекают агентные архитектуры -- системы, где LLM координирует работу внутренних инструментов и других моделей. Разберём два основных подхода к построению агентных систем. Читать далее

### AI overview

The author describes attempting to extract boot code from a rare prototype PlayStation Vita development kit, using hardware-hacking techniques and documenting the work as part of preserving the system's historical data.

### Source excerpt

A few months ago, a contact reached out to me with an irresistible offer. I would be given the opportunity to experiment with an insanely rare, prototype development kit PlayStation Vita. The only ask from my source is that I somehow dump the boot code. I've spent the last seven years hacking every last bit of the Vita from exploiting the kernel to extracting hardware keys with AES fault injections. In that long journey, I've gotten intimate with every model and revision of the Vita so it seems inevitable that I would find myself with the very first prototype. The DEM-3000L is actually more rare than the DEM-3000H that recently made headlines having been sold for $20,000. Although I cannot confirm this independently, my source claims that the DEM-3000H units were distributed to early game developers while the DEM-3000L was used internally at Sony to develop the system firmware. The history of this particular DEM-3000L was that two of these were originally found side by side at a Chinese landfill. They had extensive water damage (I was told they were "at the bottom of a lake") and was carefully repaired. One of the two (the one with the broken display) eventually made it to me.
