Chrome ext to let zot, your terminal coding agent, operate the browser

In plain words

This Chrome extension allows Zot, a terminal-based coding agent, to operate and control the browser programmatically. Designed for developers who work in terminal environments, it enables automated browser interactions directly from command-line workflows. The tool bridges the gap between terminal-based development and browser automation, letting users incorporate web tasks into their coding processes without leaving the terminal interface.

Chrome extension + local bridge for chatting with zot from a Chrome side panel and letting zot operate browser tabs through a browser_action tool. zot ext install https://github.com/patriceckhart/zot-chrome-operator node " $HOME /Library/Application Support/zot/extensions/zot-chrome-operator/bin/install-cli.js " This does not require any changes to zot. The second command creates a global zot-chrome shim at: ~/.local/bin/zot-chrome Make sure ~/.local/bin is on your PATH . For example, add this to your shell profile if needed: export PATH= " $HOME /.local/bin: $PATH " Why the second command? zot ext install only clones/copies extension files; it does not execute install hooks. The shim is…from github.com

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
