We are excited to announce the WebdriverIO Chrome Recorder extension (chrome.google.com/webstore/d…) for #Chrome based browser that allows you to record tests using @ChromeDevTools Recorder 🚀 and export them as WebdriverIO tests. Check it out: webdriver.io/docs/record 🙌

🚀 WebdriverIO v9.32.0 is out! 17 contributors shipped CPU & heap profiling, acceptDialog/dismissDialog for mobile permission prompts, Dioxus support in create-wdio, plus a big batch of reliability fixes. Full notes: github.com/webdriverio/webdr…

@MomenticAI is now a Premium Sponsor of @webdriverio! we spend every day building browser + mobile verification infra, and no testing company starts from zero. browser automation exists because open-source maintainers spent years building the frameworks, protocols, docs, runners, and integrations the rest of us use WebdriverIO's contributors keep that work moving the sponsorship helps fund development, docs, events, infrastructure, and upstream dependencies thank u to the maintainers and contributors proud to support the work ❤️

🧠 Solving the Memory Problem: Introducing LangChain's Summarization Middleware in LangChain v1 alpha! Ever built an AI agent that "forgets" important context when conversations get too long? You're not alone. Token limits are one of the biggest challenges in building production-ready AI applications. The Problem: Long conversations hit token limits, forcing you to either: ❌ Truncate early messages (losing context) ❌ Manually manage conversation history ❌ Accept degraded performance as context grows The Solution: LangChain's new summarizationMiddleware automatically manages conversation memory by intelligently summarizing older messages while preserving recent context. Why This Matters: ✅ Zero Manual Work - Automatic token monitoring and summarization ✅ Smart Preservation - Never breaks AI/Tool message pairs ✅ Context Continuity - Maintains conversation flow seamlessly Real Impact: Our example shows a conversation going from ~6,000 tokens down to ~1,500 tokens (75% reduction!) while maintaining all the essential context. The agent can still reference earlier challenges and recommendations perfectly. Perfect for: 🎯 Customer support chatbots with long sessions 🎯 Code review assistants processing large codebases 🎯 Research agents analyzing extensive documents 🎯 Any multi-turn dialogue that needs persistent memory This isn't just about staying under token limits—it's about building agents that can have truly long-form, meaningful conversations without losing their memory. 📚 Read more in our new docs: docs.langchain.com/oss/javas… What's your biggest challenge with conversation memory in AI applications? #AI #LangChain #MachineLearning #Chatbots #AgentDevelopment #OpenAI #Anthropic #agents
