Rust & AI Weekly #16: an MCP error should not change your protocol
rmcp 3.5.1 fixes a protocol fallback triggered by application errors. Also: mold 3.0 moves to Rust, GitHub MCP Server 2.0 adds negotiated output schemas, and Fullbleed 2.5.22 makes its PDF evidence inspectable.
Rust & AI Weekly #15: Rust on Workers still needs a runtime plan
Cloudflare's experimental Emscripten integration, Deser 0.10, retained-memory profiling with Ying and a fearless_simd follow-up. Plus Rust 1.99 and the coming Windows host-tool change.
Rust & AI Weekly #14: Miri's fix leaves old caches to clean up
Miri's CI cache leak and its fix, rmcp 3.5.0, Symposium's dependency-aware agent guidance, a careful Wild benchmark comparison, and fastlogging's OpenTelemetry support. Plus Allocator's merge and a funded Cargo maintainer.
Rust & AI Weekly #13: the counters looked fine
Today's issue: dial9 records what Tokio is actually doing in production and no longer needs tokio_unstable to do it, the Rust project warns that prominent maintainers are being targeted through fake job calls, and This Week in Rust's Crate of the Week is a JPEG codec most companies cannot use without a licence conversation. Each entry carries maintenance, latest-release, and adoption signals.
Rust & AI Weekly #12: who is paying for this
Today's issue: NVIDIA put its name and a 2027 roadmap behind CUDA Rust, GPU kernels written in Rust itself, and the paper I marked Assess in June is now a crate with two adopters, Rustls turned ten and explained how a TLS library ships 43 releases without breaking anyone, and Oracle's official pure-Rust database driver reached its third beta the same week Go Weekly celebrated Go's, and nobody in Rust noticed. Each entry carries maintenance, latest-release, and adoption signals.
Rust & AI Weekly #11: the default is the decision
Today's issue: Cargo stabilized the supply-chain control I called cheap last week, the official MCP SDK went from 1.7 to 3.2 in fifteen weeks and broke builds through a minor bump on the way, and a machine wrote 16,748 proof harnesses where fifteen months of humans wrote 725. Each entry carries maintenance, latest-release, and adoption signals.
Rust & AI Weekly #10: what runs before your code does
Today's issue: a crate with 245 million downloads shipped a build script that phoned home for 86 minutes, the Rust tool that would have sandboxed it has been sitting there since 2023, and the ecosystem finally put money on the maintainers whose credentials are the attack surface. Each entry carries maintenance, latest-release, and adoption signals.
Rust & AI Weekly #9: where the boundary is drawn
Today's issue: a Rust sandbox whose manual names AI/ML workloads as the thing to contain, the maintainer of rustls publishes a memory-safe SSH server after 20 months and says plainly that it is not ready, and rama's release-train promise from issue #4 comes due. Each entry carries maintenance, latest-release, and adoption signals.
Rust & AI Weekly #8: make it unrepresentable
Today's issue: fearless_simd takes unsafe out of SIMD and books 1.0 for September, a zero-dependency crate makes quantized-tensor mismatches fail loudly instead of quietly, and the Rust SVG toolchain Parcel already ships grows an SVGR replacement. Each entry carries maintenance, latest-release, and adoption signals.
Rust & AI Weekly #7: publish the audit
Today's issue: webrtc-rs ships its Sans-I/O rewrite and grades its own roadmap, FalkorDB moves 80,000 lines of graph engine to Rust for GraphRAG, and a btop for your Claude Code context window. Each entry carries maintenance, latest-release, and adoption signals.
