The headline: local-rag-agent shipped a complete hybrid cloud architecture in 17 commits and a versioned release. Nixtla hardened its validation infrastructure. git-with-intent migrated its grading system to SQLite.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The local-rag-agent had been locked to a single LLM provider since its inception. Anthropic&amp;rsquo;s Claude, hardcoded. That works for a personal tool. It doesn&amp;rsquo;t work when you want to run the same RAG pipeline against different providers for cost comparison, latency testing, or compliance reasons where certain data can&amp;rsquo;t leave a specific cloud tenant.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
