Chen Tianqiao's new AI project Apodex just shipped Apodex 1.0 — a deep research agent that uses asynchronous collaboration and an evidence graph to keep itself honest.
DeepSeek open-sourced Harness and revealed the Cordis design paper, explaining how making every component — including the agent loop — a swappable plugin paves the way toward recursive self-improvement.
