Andrew Warner and Peter Cooper break down this week's top GitHub repos for AI memory, coding agents, local models, developer workflows, and AI-powered productivity.

Andrew Warner is joined by Peter Cooper to review the most interesting GitHub repositories of the week. They cover reverse engineering assistants, Microsoft's AI curriculum, running large models on low-end GPUs, Buzz, shared AI memory for teams, turning books into reusable AI skills, open-source alternatives to Claude CoWork, AI response formatting, low-cost terminal coding agents, and terminal-based code review tools. They also discuss where these projects fit into real AI workflows and which ones are worth trying today.
