JR東日本、羽田空港アクセス線のトンネルを11月16日に掘削開始

周囲の陥没を防ぐため土砂の管理に注意し、1年かけて掘ります。「東山手ルート」が開業すると羽田空港と東京駅は乗り換えが不要となり、移動時間が18分に短縮されます。

Guys, remember zg? We shared it a couple of months ago when our friends on Alibaba's @ZvecAI first open-sourced it, and it got a lot of love from developers. Well, they've been busy: they rewrote its core in Rust, and the performance gains are quite something
In their benchmarks, indexing took 64.5% less time, with 53.2% lower average peak memory usage. Less waiting for your index, more room for your editor and coding agents. It still works with Qwen Code and other coding agents, with more integrations added in this release.
Check out their post and repo for more details: github.com/zvec-ai/zvec-grep
🚀 Zvec-grep 0.3.0 is here — rebuilt in Rust.
Local search for developers and AI agents, now with less waiting and a lighter footprint.
⚡ Less time indexing
Across four BEIR datasets, total index build time dropped from 219 s to 78 s—about 65% less time than the Node.js version.
🪶 Lower memory use
Average peak indexing memory fell by 53%, leaving more room for your editor, agents, and other tools.
🔎 Smoother everyday use
An rg-inspired CLI, clearer model selection and indexing progress, plus fixes for file tracking, result locations, and index management.
🤖 More agent integrations
Now supports GitHub Copilot, Grok Build, VS Code, and Pi, alongside existing integrations.
Try it in your workspace and tell us how it goes.

"You Don't Need Long Context"
NVIDIA finds that LLM agents can complete complex long-horizon tasks without maintaining their entire conversation history, which reduces inference costs.
So instead of accumulating tokens, they use frequent context compaction to summarize progress and retrieve information when needed, even resetting the context after every agent action.
Across six long-horizon benchmarks, this preserves accuracy while achieving up to 8.8x lower estimated inference costs.
