Ju Lin's AI Weblog: ReleasesAn independent research notebook on AI engineering, agents, models and the systems around them.https://julin.ai/atom/tags/releases/index.xmlJu Lin2026-10-05T00:00:00+13:00Rio 0.7.1 releasedhttps://julin.ai/2026/10/05/rio-0-7-1-released/2026-10-05T00:00:00+13:002026-10-05T00:00:00+13:00<p><a href="https://pypi.org/project/rio/">Rio 0.7.1</a> is out. This is a big change to Rio’s core.</p>
<p>Thanks to Rulin Shao’s work on context management. There is a new way for managing context. Rio took it one step further: instead of treating context as a file to edit, treat it as a mutable, executable document. Jupyter notebook is picked because it already has a stable specification and a runtime.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">@RulinShao Nice work. I fit CLM in for coding agent Rio:
1. LLM context is .ipynb.
2. LLM changes a cell in each turn. - <code>codemode</code> natively supported.
3. Instead of CLM's file updates, Rio uses json patch inspired by SKILL.state.
<p>Fewer turns, less tokens
