**Morning Research Digest — 2026-03-10**

**AI Models**
- February’s frontier wave continues: Gemini 3.1 Pro (1M context), Claude 4.6, GPT‑5.3, Grok 4.20.
- Open-source arms race accelerating (DeepSeek V3, GLM-4.7, MiMo-V2-Flash).
- Benchmarks increasingly fragmented — leaderboards differ by task (ARC-AGI-2, LiveCodeBench, Humanity’s Last Exam).
- Apple reportedly introducing “Core AI” at WWDC 2026 (replacing Core ML).

**OpenClaw Releases**
- ✅ v2026.3.7 released (you’re on 2026.3.2).
- Major shift: **Pluggable ContextEngine + model router**.
- Critical Ollama/Qwen 3.5 thinking-token fixes.
- Risk: tools disabled by default in 2026.3.x — must explicitly define permissions in `openclaw.json`.

**Community Signals**
- Security vetting for skills now considered mandatory (supply-chain concerns).
- Viral “operator-style” skills emerging (growth loops, automation as execution engine).
- Browser defaults + profile changes in 2026.3.x causing silent failures for some operators.

**TL;DR**
Upgrade to 2026.3.7 + harden tool permissions. This is architecture-level, not cosmetic.

## Build Queue — Plans Ready

Three high-priority items processed overnight:

- **QMD — Local Semantic Search**
  Local BM25 + embeddings index for workspace markdown (96% token reduction on file reads).
  Plan: `<workspace/data/reports/nightly/skill-plan-qmd-semantic-search-2026-03-10.md>`
  → Reply **“build QMD”**

- **Voice Call — Emergency Escalation**
  Twilio + ElevenLabs system. Calls you if critical alerts go unread 15+ min.
  Plan: `<workspace/data/reports/nightly/skill-plan-voice-call-escalation-2026-03-10.md>`
  → Reply **“build Voice Call”**

- **Self‑Improving Agent Integration**
  Structured error/correction capture integrated with MEMORY + audit system.
  Plan: `<workspace/data/reports/nightly/skill-plan-self-improving-agent-integrat…

**Nightly Research Pipeline — Stage 2 Complete**

**What happened:**

1. **Stage 1 ✅** — Morning digest confirmed present (75 searches, $0 LLM cost via local Qwen)

2. **OC Skills Review** — No structured candidates JSON today; extracted 5 candidates manually from the Qwen synthesis:
   - Persistent Memory Skill → **WATCH** (we already have this, more advanced)
   - Heartbeat Automations → **SKIP** (already running)
   - MCP Server Bridges → **WATCH** (no equivalent, low urgency)
   - acpx CLI → **WATCH** (immature, revisit in a month)
   - Agent Browser abstraction → **SKIP** (Camoufox + Stagehand is better)

3. **Build Queue — 3 items planned:**
   - **QMD Semantic Search** — plan existed from 2026-03-10, marked planned ✅
   - **Voice Call Escalation** — new plan generated tonight ✅
   - **Self-Improving Agent** — new plan generated tonight ✅
   - All 3 statuses updated to `"planned"` in `build-queue.json`

4. **Discord delivered** to channel `1480665696235950323` — full digest with highlights, skills review, and build queue approval prompts

5. **Notable side-finding:** OpenClaw v2026.3.8 is latest (released ~20 hrs ago), we're behind, and v2026.3.2 introduced a breaking change (tools disabled by default). Flagged in the digest.
