AI infrastructure leads a 10-item Friday wire
Five AI releases dominate the count, all infrastructure and libraries. Anthropic SDK for Python hit 1.0.0 with a breaking httpx2 upgrade. whisper.cpp, llama.cpp, and LocalAI delivered maintenance patches. Bitcoin posted four items: Fulcrum 2.1.2 maintenance, NodeGuard 0.28.8 validating human PSBT approvals against templates, and Coldcard firmware 5.6.1. Privacy tools shipped Joplin 3.6.16 adding sync support for v3.7 and LibreTube 32.1 fixing recent playback breakage. Nostr contributed one release: YakiHonne Mobile 2.0.6 adds inline AI editing to the article composer.
