🧵 1/6 What if your AI agent could actually DO things?

Not just chat. Actually search the web, access databases, read LinkedIn profiles, execute code.

That's what we built. Here's what you can do with Agent Runtimes 👇
January 13, 2026 at 4:30 PM
We’ve enhanced agent runtimes with a built-in model selector, making it easier than ever to choose the right model for each use case. #AI #LLM

#Agent details now available - we will show the LLM context usage

Inline chat toolbar implemented in the Agent Runtimes repository (github.com/datalayer/ag...
). It provides an easy way to work with your text content.

1/ 🪐 🌐 Just shipped: Jupyter Embed!

What if adding a live Python cell to your docs was as easy as adding an image?

Now it is. 🧵

I've added a tree view to pick files in Toad. 🐸

Fuzzy searching is great when you know what you're looking for. But a tree view is more natural when you want to look through your files.

Toad is a unified interface for agentic coding, and all things AI, in your terminal.

1.5 days with #AI instead of maybe 1.5 weeks: Vite.js support and a revamped Jupyter React examples. AI is redefining software development timelines.

Devil’s in the details. This is why you’ll see a spinner in the VS Code runtime launcher while the remote runtime spins up.

Vercel AI SDK 6 is official released. The details are on vercel.com/blog/ai-sdk-6

The feature I prefer is the Tool Improvements and the needsApproval option that allows to force user approval on the first tool usage.

OAuth for MCP is also awesome feature.
AI SDK 6 - Vercel
Introducing agents, tool execution approval, DevTools, full MCP support, reranking, image editing, and more.

Datalayer is joining the AgentX AgentBeats challenge! 🥊

To benchmark our data agent, we "agentified" DABench using the A2A protocol. The setup uses Pydantic AI and our Jupyter MCP Server.

We think A2A + MCP is the future of agent interoperability. 🤝

The Datalayer VS Code extension is here. It brings a Notion-style editor (built on Lexical) right into your Jupyter environment.

Just code, write, and explain in one place.
It's open source 👐 and integrated with Copilot 🤖.

Just tried Toad, the new #ACP terminal client for #AIAgents by
@willmcgugan.bsky.social (creator of Rich/Textual) — super promising approach to connecting local & remote agents. A few UX bumps (SPACE to start chat not obvious, needed restarts), but overall excited.

🚀 Datalayer Notebooks ❤️ #Copilotkit

Copilotkit now plugs into React-based Jupyter Notebooks — an LLM that can read, edit & run code.

Open protocols = open data ecosystems.

@burkeholland.bsky.social Just looked at www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdPt... where you mention you trust more GPT-5 LLM for code.

Curious to learn more. Here I tried it a bit, and sticked to Claude Sonnet, and now Opus 4.5
