## Worth attention

- **Interactions API**
  https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/interactions-overview?hl=hi
  Google is steering new Gemini work to Interactions API for server-side state, background tasks, and future feature rollout.
- **Show HN: Frugon – Find which LLM calls a cheaper model could handle (local, MIT)**
  https://github.com/Rodiun/frugon
  Frugon is a local open-source analyzer for OpenAI-style logs that estimates cheaper-model routing and optional quality checks.
- **langchain==1.3.13**
  https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/releases/tag/langchain%3D%3D1.3.13
  LangChain 1.3.13 adds explicit OpenAI prompt caching support, which can reduce cost on repeated-context workloads.
- **Show HN: Reverse-engineering web apps into agent tools**
  https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48847834
  A Show HN demo claims it can watch authenticated web-app APIs and auto-generate reusable agent tools instead of brittle browser driving.
- **0.13.4**
  https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/releases/tag/0.13.4
  browser-use 0.13.4 is mostly reliability work: nav readiness, markdown extraction, truncation handling, and recoverable browser errors.
- **Improving Smart Tiered Cache for Public Cloud Regions**
  https://blog.cloudflare.com/smart-tiered-cache-for-public-clouds/
  Cloudflare added region hints for Smart Tiered Cache so anycast cloud origins can avoid bad cross-continent upper-tier routing.
- **Traces now support Tree and Waterfall views**
  https://vercel.com/changelog/traces-now-support-tree-and-waterfall-views
  Vercel Logs now shows traces in tree and waterfall views, which should speed up request-path debugging without leaving the log entry.
