[cron:2b05c350-dbfd-4f34-af01-133b602ee818 Magoo News Pulse] **Magoo News Pulse — CRITICAL: CHECK FOR DUPLICATES FIRST**

## STEP 1: READ MEMORY (MANDATORY)
Before searching, read these files:
1. `memory/2026-02-13.md` — check all news items from today
2. `MEMORY.md` — check for major ongoing stories

## STEP 2: EXTRACT LINKS
Collect ALL source URLs already reported in last 6 hours. DO NOT report these again.

## STEP 3: SEARCH (8-12 new items)
Only report stories NOT in the link list above.

Categories to search:
- GitHub/Tech (2-3 items) — SearXNG: `github trending agentic` + `day`
- AI Industry (2-3 items) — web_search with freshness="pd"
- Global Politics (2-3 items) — Reuters, AP, BBC
- Markets (1-2 items) — Bloomberg, CNBC
- Science (1-2 items) — Space.com, Nature, Ars

## STEP 4: VERIFY NEW
For each candidate story:
- Is the source URL already in memory? → SKIP
- Is this the same event as something reported in last 6h? → SKIP
- Is this genuinely new in last 20 min? → INCLUDE

## STEP 5: OUTPUT
📰 **Magoo Briefing** — [Time EST], Friday Feb 13, 2026

🛠 **TECH/GITHUB:**
• [new item with NEW source link]

🤖 **AI:**
• [new item with NEW source link]

🌍 **GLOBAL:**
• [new item with NEW source link]

💰 **MARKETS:**
• [new item with NEW source link]

🔬 **SCIENCE:**
• [new item with NEW source link]

If <3 genuinely new items: Report "Nothing new in last 20 min" and STOP.

**DO NOT REPEAT:** Anthropic $30B, Musk/Anthropic feud, Pentagon AI classified networks, NASA Crew-12, DHS shutdown, Ukraine peace proposals — these were already reported.
Current time: Friday, February 13th, 2026 — 4:20 PM (UTC)

Return your summary as plain text; it will be delivered automatically. If the task explicitly calls for messaging a specific external recipient, note who/where it should go instead of sending it yourself.


The user wants me to run a news pulse check. Let me follow the instructions carefully:

1. First, read memory files to check for duplicates
2. Extract links from the last 6 hours
3. Search for new items (8-12)
4. Verify they're new
5. Output the briefing

Let me start by reading the memory files.

I'll execute this pulse check following the procedure. Let me start by reading the memory files to extract already-reported links.


# 2026-02-13 Memory Log

## Session Summary (03:20-04:05 UTC)

### User
- **Skinny** (@skinnyc813, 6558388607) - runs multiple OpenClaw agents

### Major Task: Autonomous Overnight Workflow Setup

Set up all 7 OpenClaw agents to follow an autonomous work procedure:

**The Pattern:**
1. **SOUL.md** - Contains Build → Test → Log → Decide loop
2. **TODO.md** - Task list (drop tasks here before bed)
3. **PROGRESS-LOG.md** - Work journal (read in morning)
4. **Cron jobs** - Safety net at 2am, 4am, 6am UTC

**Agents Configured:**
| Agent | Workspace | Telegram Account |
|-------|-----------|------------------|
| main | workspace | fred |
| magoo | workspace-magoo | magoo |
| mark-twain | workspace-mark-twain | twain |
| clinker | workspace-clinker | clinker |
| ash-permits | workspace-ash-permits | carl |
| cannadeals-marketing | workspace-cannadeals-marketing | canna |
| ghc-marketing | workspace-ghc-marketing | maya |

**What I Did:**
- ✅ Updated SOUL.md on all 7 workspaces with autonomous work loop
- ✅ Created TODO.md and PROGRESS-LOG.md for all 7 workspaces
- ✅ Created 21 cron jobs (3 per agent at 2/4/6am UTC)
- ✅ Preserved all existing cron jobs (ghc deal posting, canna engagement, etc.)
- ✅ Updated USER.md with Skinny's info
- ✅ Deleted BOOTSTRAP.md

**Existing Cron Jobs (preserved):**
- ghc-marketing: Deal Post every 30min, 3 blog posts daily, X engagement
- cannadeals-marketing: ~20 jobs (morning posts, engagement rounds, random checks)

### Verification
- 4am cron jobs ran successfully on all agents
- All found no pending tasks (TODO.md empty) - expected for fresh setup

### Notes
- User asked about Clinker not responding - cron worked fine, suggested checking correct Telegram bot account
- cannadeals-marketing has custom SOUL.md sections preserved (server info, social media rules)

---

## How to Use the System

1. Before bed: Drop a task in any agent's `TODO.md`
2. Agent breaks it down, works through night
3. Gets nudged every 2 hours if stalled (cron safety net)
4. Morning: Check `PROGRESS-LOG.md` to see what happened


ENOENT: no such file or directory, access '/home/crogers2287/.openclaw/workspace-magoo/MEMORY.md'


The daily memory file exists but doesn't contain any news items - it only has info about the agent setup. MEMORY.md doesn't exist. This means I have no previous news links to check against, so I need to be careful.

The user mentioned these were already reported and should NOT be repeated:
- Anthropic $30B
- Musk/Anthropic feud
- Pentagon AI classified networks
- NASA Crew-12
- DHS shutdown
- Ukraine peace proposals

Let me now search for fresh news across the categories.

No news items in memory yet today. The user noted these were already reported (DO NOT REPEAT):
- Anthropic $30B, Musk/Anthropic feud, Pentagon AI classified networks, NASA Crew-12, DHS shutdown, Ukraine peace proposals

Now let me search across all categories for fresh news.

For details, review the official OpenClaw repository and releases in the OpenClaw GitHub organization, and the channels documentation for supported messaging apps. Two tectonic shifts are underway. First, users want results, not conversations. That pushes assistants to plan, call tools, and run until the job is done. Second, orchestration now spans multiple surfaces—email, chat, calendar, and the browser—so one agent can coordinate across your “work graph.” Think of it as moving from a helpful coworker who answers questions to a dependable teammate who owns a task list.

I got one successful search result for GitHub, but Brave Search is rate limited. I need to use SearXNG as a fallback for the other searches. Let me use the SearXNG skill.

Brave Search is rate-limited. I got one GitHub hit. Switching to SearXNG fallback for remaining categories.


---
name: searxng-search
description: Local SearXNG metasearch engine for unlimited web searches. Use when web_search hits rate limits or when you need to search without API restrictions. Queries Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and other engines via local SearXNG instance.
---

# SearXNG Search

Local metasearch engine running on `localhost:9090` that aggregates results from multiple search engines.

## When to Use

- When `web_search` returns rate limit errors (429)
- When you need unlimited searches without API costs
- As a fallback when Brave/Perplexity/Grok APIs fail

## Usage

Run the search script via exec:

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "your search query" [count] [freshness]
```

**Parameters:**
- `query` (required): Search query string
- `count` (optional): Number of results (default: 5, max recommended: 10)
- `freshness` (optional): Time filter — `day`, `week`, `month`, `year`

**Examples:**

```bash
# Basic search
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "OpenAI news"

# Get more results
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "latest AI developments" 10

# NEWS: Filter to last 24 hours (ALWAYS use for news searches)
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news" 10 day

# Filter to last week
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "GitHub trending repos" 5 week
```

## Output Format

Returns JSON matching OpenClaw's web_search format:

```json
{
  "query": "search query",
  "provider": "searxng",
  "count": 5,
  "freshness": "day",
  "results": [
    {
      "title": "Result Title",
      "url": "https://example.com/page",
      "description": "Snippet text...",
      "engine": "google",
      "published": "2026-02-13T10:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}
```

## News Searches

**For any news/current events search, ALWAYS use `day` freshness:**

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news today" 10 day
```

This ensures you only get results from the last 24 hours — no stale articles from months ago.

## Requirements

- SearXNG running on `localhost:9090` (Docker container)
- Override URL with `SEARXNG_URL` env var if different

## Notes

SearXNG aggregates from multiple engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Qwant) so results may be more comprehensive than single-provider APIs.


Good, I have the SearXNG skill info. Let me run searches for AI news, global politics, markets, and science using SearXNG.

- Trump plans to scale back some steel, aluminum tariffs- FT
- Shares of U.S. steelmakers, aluminum firms fall in early trade
- U.S. aluminum buyers pay record premiums for physical supplies

Feb 13 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump plans to scale back some tariffs on steel and aluminum goods, the Financial Times reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Officials in the Commerce Department and U.S. trade representative’s office believe the tariffs are hurting consumers by raising prices for goods including pie tins and food-and-drink cans, the FT report said.
 Sign up [here.](undefined?location=article-paragraph&redirectUrl=%2Fworld%2Fus%2Ftrump-plans-roll-back-tariffs-metal-aluminium-goods-ft-reports-2026-02-13%2F)
Voters nationwide are worried about prices, and cost-of-living concerns are expected to be a major factor for Americans heading into the November midterm elections.
A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll [showed](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-heads-iowa-farm-stress-biofuel-delays-test-support-2026-01-27/) that 30% of Americans approved of Trump’s handling of the rising cost of living, while 59% disapproved, including nine in 10 Democrats and one in five Republicans.
Shares of U.S. steel and aluminum producers slipped in early U.S. trading. Steelmakers Nucor
[(NUE.N), opens new tab](https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/NUE.N) and Steel Dynamics
[(STLD.O), opens new tab](https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/STLD.O) fell about 5% each, while Cleveland-Cliffs
[(CLF.N), opens new tab](https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/CLF.N) slid 7%.

Among aluminum producers, Century Aluminum
[(CENX.O), opens new tab](https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/CENX.O) declined 12% and Alcoa
[(AA.N), opens new tab](https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/AA.N) lost 5%.

Benchmark aluminum prices on the London Metal Exchange fell to a one-week low on Friday after the report, with U.S. aluminum buyers being forced to shell out [record premiums](https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/metals/us-aluminium-consumers-pay-spiralling-cost-tariffs-2026-01-21/) over the LME benchmark to secure physical supplies. MTE/L
Aluminium prices sank on Friday after a report that US may roll back some tariffs on steel and aluminium goodsTrump hit steel and aluminum imports with tariffs of up to 50% last year and has repeatedly used levies as a negotiating tool with a range of trading partners.
The Trump administration is now reviewing a list of products affected by the levies and plans to exempt some items, halt the expansion of the lists and instead launch more targeted national security probes into specific goods, the FT report added.
The White House and the Commerce Department did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment outside of regular business hours.
Trump [recently touted](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trumps-detroit-trip-put-manufacturing-back-focus-amid-us-factory-job-slump-2026-01-13/) his economic record in Detroit, aiming to refocus attention on U.S. manufacturing and his efforts to tackle high consumer costs as the White House seeks to show it is addressing the economic anxieties gripping U.S. households.
The U.S. Commerce Department last year [hiked](https://www.reuters.com/business/us-hikes-steel-aluminum-tariffs-imported-appliances-railcars-ev-parts-2025-08-19/) steel and aluminum tariffs on more than 400 products including wind turbines, mobile cranes, appliances, bulldozers and other heavy equipment, along with railcars, motorcycles, marine engines, furniture and hundreds of other products.

The cost of goods and services rose at a slower annual rate than expected in January, providing hope that the nagging U.S. inflation problem could be starting to ease.
The consumer price index for January accelerated 2.4% from the same time a year ago, down 0.3 percentage point from the prior month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. That pulled the inflation rate down to where it was the month after President [Donald Trump](https://www.cnbc.com/donald-trump/) in April 2025 announced aggressive tariffs on U.S. imports.
Excluding food and energy, the core CPI was up 2.5%, the lowest level since April 2021. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for an annual rate of 2.5% for both readings.

On a monthly basis, the all-items index was up a seasonally adjusted 0.2% while core gained 0.3%. The forecast had been 0.3% for both.
Though the category accounted for much of the CPI gain, shelter costs rose just 0.2% for the month, bringing the annual increase down to 3%. Shelter makes up more than one-third of the CPI.
Elsewhere, food prices increased 0.2% as five of the six major grocery group categories posted gains. Energy fell 1.5% while vehicle prices also were muted, with new vehicles up just 0.1% and used cars and trucks falling 1.8%. Airline fares jumped 6.5% while egg prices fell 7% and are now down 34% over the past year after a meteoric surge.

Stock market futures were little changed after the report while Treasury yields moved lower.
"This is great news on inflation," said Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union. "Inflation fell to the lowest level since May and key items such as food, gas and rent are cooling off. This will provide much needed relief for middle class and moderate-income families."
The lower-than-expected reading helped boost the outlook for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts in the futures market. Traders raised the odds for a reduction in June to about 83%, according to the CME Group's FedWatch tool.
The report adds to a mixed economic picture.
At the macro level, the U.S. shrugged off a slow start in 2025 and has been barreling forward since, with fourth-quarter growth pegged at 3.7%, according to the latest update from the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow, a running tracker of incoming data.
But inflation has continued to hold above the Fed's 2% annual target even with generally contained energy prices. Moreover, Fed officials continue to express concern about the labor market, which added only 15,000 jobs a month last year. Consumer spending held up fairly well last year, though it was unexpectedly flat heading into the holiday season.
Economists had expected Trump's tariffs to spark inflation, but the impact has been largely tilted toward select goods rather than a broader impact.
"The tariffs have had a clear impact on products such as furniture and appliances, but the key items in many family budgets are cooling off," Long added.
With the conflicting economic signals, the Fed is widely expected to stay on hold until June after a rate-cutting cycle that saw three reductions in the latter part of 2025. The central bank faces shifting dynamics this year, with a rotating cast of regional presidents that seems titled toward a more aggressive posture on fighting inflation and a chair-designate, Kevin Warsh, who is likely to push for lower rates.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Friday told CNBC that he sees an "investment boom" acting as a tailwind while inflation gets back to the Fed's target "in the middle of this year."
"We've got to get away from this idea that growth automatically has to be tampered down, because growth, per se, is not inflationary." Bessent added. "It's growth that leaks into areas where there's not sufficient supply, and everything this administration is doing is creating more supply."
The January inflation report was delayed a few days because of the partial government shutdown.
The Fed does not use the CPI as its primary inflation measure. Instead, it more closely watches the Commerce Department's personal consumption expenditures price index, the December reading of which will be released Feb. 20.

- Summary
- Companies

- Deal could be signed this quarter with key terms agreed, sources say
- Sale marks Bytedance retreat from online gaming
- ByteDance valuation soared over the past year

SINGAPORE/HONG KONG, Feb 13 (Reuters) - ByteDance is in advanced talks to sell Shanghai Moonton Technology, the studio behind the popular mobile game Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, to Saudi Arabia's Savvy Games Group in a deal valued at between $6 billion and $7 billion, sources said.
A deal could be sealed as soon as this quarter, said one of the two sources, who have knowledge of the matter. The two companies have reached initial agreement on broad terms of the deal, said the second source.
 Sign up [here.](undefined?location=article-paragraph&redirectUrl=%2Fworld%2Fasia-pacific%2Fbytedance-talks-sell-gaming-unit-moonton-more-than-6-billion-sources-say-2026-02-13%2F)
The sources declined to be named as they were not authorised to speak to the media.
ByteDance, Moonton and Savvy Games did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
Reuters is reporting the deal value and the timeline for the possible transaction for the first time.
The Moonton sale would add to the ongoing consolidation in the video game industry, as a number of major players race for IP dominance, more distribution channels and scale up in global markets.
The deal would mark ByteDance's major retreat from online games.
The social media group said in 2023 it had decided to [restructure its gaming business](https://www.reuters.com/technology/bytedance-wind-down-gaming-brand-nuverse-full-retreat-gaming-sources-2023-11-27/) after a review.

ByteDance bought Moonton in 2021 via its gaming unit Nuverse, with the deal valuing the studio at around $4 billion, Reuters [reported](https://www.reuters.com/world/china/bytedance-says-its-video-games-unit-will-acquire-mooton-technology-2021-03-22/) at the time, as the TikTok owner tried to build an international games business to challenge bigger rivals.
Established in 2014, Moonton describes itself as a global video game company focused on game development, publishing and e-sports, according to its website.
It said it has more than 2,000 employees and operates offices in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Latin America and China.
On its official website, Moonton also said Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has over 1.5 billion installations and more than 110 million monthly active users, and ranks among the top 10 most played games in over 80 countries.
Savvy Games Group, owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, is a global games and e-sports company pursuing growth through acquisitions, investments and commercial ventures, its website showed.
It acquired Scopely, a maker of mobile games based in Culver City, California, for $4.9 billion in 2023. Scopely snapped up 'Pokemon Go' maker [Niantic's](https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/pokemon-go-maker-niantic-sell-game-division-saudi-owned-scopely-35-billion-2025-03-12/) game division in March for $3.5 billion.
The planned divestment of Moonton comes as ByteDance's valuation has soared in the past year.
ByteDance's [first- and second-quarter](https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/tiktok-owner-bytedance-sets-valuation-over-330-billion-revenue-grows-sources-say-2025-08-27/) 2025 revenues both topped those of Facebook and Instagram owner Meta
[(META.O), opens new tab](https://www.reuters.com/markets/companies/META.O), making it the world's No. 1 social media company by sales, Reuters has reported.

ByteDance in the third quarter launched an employee share buyback at a [valuation](https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/tiktok-parent-bytedance-valuation-rises-latest-share-buyback-sources-say-2025-03-04/) of more than $330 billion, up 5.5% from the previous buyback in March, sources have said.

Its architecture solves the ‘overhead problem,’ reducing the physical qubits required for breaking RSA-2048 from millions to under 100,000
 Already working with the world’s leading quantum hardware companies, Iceberg closes $6m seed round led by LocalGlobe with Blackbird and DCVC.
 SYDNEY, Feb. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For years, the promise of quantum computing has been held back by the cost of fault tolerance. Qubits are fragile and noisy, and preventing errors from overwhelming a computation has required so much redundancy that truly useful machines have been pushed far into the future.
 Today, the team at Iceberg Quantum says that assumption is wrong.
 The quantum architecture company has unveiled Pinnacle, its first full fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture, alongside a $6m seed round led by LocalGlobe, with participation from Blackbird and DCVC.
 Pinnacle is based on a new and far more efficient class of error-correcting codes, known as quantum LDPC (low-density parity-check) codes, and demonstrates how fault-tolerant architectures can be designed with an order-of-magnitude lower overhead.
 As a concrete demonstration, Pinnacle shows how breaking RSA-2048 — long considered to require millions of physical qubits — could be achieved with fewer than one hundred thousand. Based on standard hardware assumptions and validated in the accompanying preprint using established numerical simulation methods, these results reset expectations around when quantum computers of cryptographic relevance can be built.
 Iceberg Quantum’s approach is applicable across physical qubit modalities, and the company is already working with leading quantum hardware companies including PsiQuantum (photonics), Diraq (spin qubits), and IonQ (trapped ions), all of which have publicly projected timelines to build systems of this scale within the next three to five years.
 “Iceberg’s advances in qLDPC-based architectures will bring forward utility-scale applications on our devices by years,” said Andre Saraiva, Head of Theory at Diraq. “This is a deeply challenging area, and Iceberg has assembled the rare expertise required to make real progress.”
 The new funding will enable Iceberg Quantum to expand its team to accelerate research at the frontier of fault-tolerant quantum architectures, build out its architectural IP and software, and deepen design partnerships with leading quantum hardware companies. As part of this expansion, Iceberg Quantum is establishing its first overseas office in Berlin, and has also begun building its presence in the United States.
 “Our ambition is to help accelerate the transition to, and ultimately power, the fault-tolerant era of quantum computing,” said Felix Thomsen, co-founder and CEO of Iceberg Quantum. “Our approach is to build the world’s best fault-tolerance research lab and partner closely with the leading quantum hardware companies. Pinnacle is an important step for us on that journey, and we’re excited to accelerate progress and grow the team, including in Berlin and the US.”
 Iceberg Quantum was founded by Felix Thomsen, Larry Cohen, and Sam Smith, who met during their PhDs at the University of Sydney. The company is backed by Blackbird and LocalGlobe, with DCVC joining the $6m seed round led by LocalGlobe’s Mish Mashkautsan.
 “The Iceberg team has made rapid technical progress, established new partnerships with leading quantum hardware companies, and demonstrated that they can concentrate the world-class talent required to deliver this crucial catalyst towards quantum utility,” said Mish Mashkautsan. “We’re excited to double down on our conviction in this exceptional team as they build out the ARM for quantum computing.”
 “The path to FTQC needs exactly the type of innovations we’ve seen from the Iceberg team. DCVC is psyched to join the round and back them!”, said Prineha Narang at DCVC.
 About Iceberg Quantum:
Iceberg Quantum is designing the next generation of fault-tolerant quantum architectures to accelerate the advent of useful quantum computing. With LDPC codes, we're reducing the hardware overhead required for fault tolerance by more than an order of magnitude, enabling quantum hardware companies to achieve practical fault tolerance faster, reduce the cost to build and operate useful quantum computers, and unlock more valuable applications by increasing computational power.
