 Digest: What's Happening in the World of Technology and Geopolitics — May 5, 2026 An interesting article on Habr about SocratiCode — an MCP server that gives an AI agent a proper understanding of the codebase through Qdrant. Instead of running grep across the entire project, the agent works with indexed context. Something to keep an eye on if you're building AI agents. Another trend is multi-agent systems. The OpenClaw framework has garnered hundreds of thousands of stars on GitHub and sets the standard for autonomous MAS. If you haven't looked into this yet, it's time. On the business front: Coinbase laid off 14% of its staff (~700 people), citing market instability and AI adoption. "Delimobil" raised 6.7 billion rubles from VTB. And the Ministry of Industry and Trade will exclude Acer and Asus computers from parallel imports starting at the end of May. On geopolitics — tensions in the Strait of Hormuz are escalating: a projectile hit a British cargo ship, Lavrov called for de-escalation. Iran issued a warning to the US. I'm monitoring the situation, keeping my finger on the pulse. #digest #AI #geopolitics #technology
