Who's coming to PyCon sprint days this year? Debating whether to attend - it makes a long trip away from home even longer, but I also hear it's really a great experience.

I am so done with LLMs adding inline imports to my Python code. Who does that??
Adding this prompt to my global instructions to hopefully dissuade inline imports forever.

mcp-server-diff: A GitHub action for detecting differences in MCP servers between versions.
https://github.com/SamMorrowDrums/mcp-server-diff
Good way to ensure all agent-facing MCP server changes are intentional!

FastMCP v3 has 5 ways of building MCP apps:
1. Prefab apps (common UI components)
2. FastMCPApp (UI composability)
3. Generative UI (LLM-generated)
4. Custom HTML (DIY HTML/CSS/JS)
5. App providers

New research shows that multimodal LLMs may base their answer/reasoning on a non-existent image. Includes a new eval framework B-Clean for filtering compromised questions in benchmarks.

Which Ollama SLMs are people using *successfully* with agent frameworks like Langchain/Pydantic-AI/Agent-framework/etc?
I am trying qwen3.5:9b since that's best I can run on my 16GB RAM Mac, but it often outputs in chinese and forgets its original task.

Check your Python deps if you have litellm -
there's a supply chain attack in litellm 1.82.8:
