TanStack now offers a database — or at least the early alpha release of one.TanStack is the creation of developer Tanner Linsley. It began when he was looking for a way to build tables for large data sets, so perhaps the addition of TanStack DB shouldn’t surprise anyone.“TanStack DB gives you robust support for real-time sync, live queries and local writes,” its GitHub repository states. “With no stale data, super fast re-rendering and sub-millisecond cross-collection queries — even for large complex apps.”It’s built on a TypeScript implementation of differential dataflow (#), the document noted.It’s backend agnostic, builds on TanStack store and works with and alongside TanStack Query. Developers can use Query to fetch the data and then use DB to manage reactive local collections and mutations, the repo explained.It also promises a “blazing fast query engine for sub-millisecond live queries — even for complex queries with joins and aggregates,” as well as fine-grained reactivity to minimize component re-rendering, and normalized data.While it’s designed to work with sync engines, it also works with any backend: polling APIs, GraphQL, REST, or custom sync logic.TanStack has grown significantly since we first reported on it. Its website offers a quick explanation of all the tools it now offers.WordPress.org Forms AI TeamWordPress.org announced Tuesday that it’s formed a dedicated AI team to focus on accelerating and coordinating artificial intelligence projects across the WordPress ecosystem.The WordPress AI Team includes two members from Google — senior software engineer Felix Arntz and senior developer relations engineer Pascal Birchler — as well as Jeff Paul, director of open source at the full digital service agency 10up, and James LePage, director engineering AI at Automattic, which is WordPress co-creator Matt Mullenweg’s software company.Not surprisingly, there’s already a website dedicated to the effort. If you’d like to learn more, the AI team is hosting a “hangout” on Monday, June 2, 2025, at 2 p.m. EDT. A Zoom link will be shared in the #core-ai Slack channel before starting.Webflow Makes GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP) FreeIf you’ve ever wanted to tinker with a JavaScript animation library, the GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP) is now free. Webflow, a design and web development platform, acquired GSAP in late 2024 and opted to make it available for free in April. This includes access to the Club plugins, which were previously available as a for-purchase add-on.All GSAP plugins are now directly available in and hosted by Webflow.“We’re also expanding the standard license to cover commercial use, so you’re fully empowered to use GSAP anywhere, at no cost to you,” Webflow announced in a post about the decision.The San Francisco-based company also released a major upgrade to GSAP’s SplitText plugin, rewriting it from the ground up. It now boasts:50% file size reduction for faster load times and improved performance;Baked-in accessibility for screen readers;Easy masking for advanced “reveal” effects; andEasier GSAP plugin integration in Webflow.Bun Adds Automated Workspaces in Chrome DevToolsBun’s frontend dev server is going to get “automatic workspaces” support in Chrome DevTools, which means developers can edit the files in the browser.Bun is a JavaScript runtime designed as a drop-in replacement for Node.js. Creator Jarred Sumner shared the news via X, noting that for security reasons, the feature is only enabled when hot reloading is enabled and when the remote socket address is 127.0.0.1 or ::1. Edits in the browser update the code base, he added.Bun’s frontend dev server gets “automatic workspaces” support in Chrome DevTools, so you can edit files in the browser. pic.twitter.com/5wZ05ihlOX— Jarred Sumner (@jarredsumner) May 28, 2025New Open Source Coding Model AvailableThere’s a new open source large language model in town, and it’s trained to solve real-world GitHub issues.Devstral is an agentic LLM released last week under the Apache 2.0 license, and its creators note that it outperforms all open source models — including three DeepSeek models — on SWE-Bench Verified “by a large margin.” The SWE-Bench Verified benchmark is a dataset of 500 real-world GitHub issues that have been manually screened for correctness.Devstral is the result of a collaboration between the French startup Mistral AI and All Hands AI, which develops opens source agents for software developers. It’s fine-tuned from Mistral-Small-3.1, which means it has a long context window of up to 128k tokens.“While typical LLMs are excellent at atomic coding tasks such as writing standalone functions or code completion, they currently struggle to solve real-world software engineering problems,” the Devstral team wrote. “Real-world development requires contextualising code within a large codebase, identifying relationships between disparate components, and identifying subtle bugs in intricate functions.”Devstral is designed to be compatible with the OpenHands coding agent. It can run on a single RTX 4090 GPU or a Mac with 32GB RAM, which makes it “an ideal choice for local deployment and on-device use.”OpenAI Adds MCP Server Support to Response APIOpenAI recently updated its Response API, which is the company’s core API primitive for building agentic applications, to add support for remote MCP servers.MCP server support was added to the Agents SDK, the team explained in the May 21 announcement. Developers can connect OpenAI models to any tool hosted on a remote MPC server, such as Stripe, Shopify or Twilio, using just a few lines of code in the Response API.OpenAI has also joined the steering committee for MCP.In addition to MCP server support, OpenAI added new tools and support for:Image generation with real-time previews and multi-turn refinement via the new gpt-image-1 tool, the Responses API. It was previously only available in the Images API;Code Interpreter for data analysis, complex math, and visual reasoning is now accessible from within the model’s chain-of-thought in the Responses API. Previously, this was only available in the Assistants API;Smarter file search with support for multiple vector stores and attribute-based filtering.The post covers additional Response API updates.The post TanStack Adds Database, WordPress Creates AI Team appeared first on The New Stack.
