Remote sync, MCP, and an API for your Obsidian vault
Geode is a tool that provides remote sync, MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration, and an API for Obsidian vaults, enabling users to access and manage their notes programmatically and across devices.
Background
- Geode is an open-source tool that adds remote sync, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, and a REST API to Obsidian — the popular note-taking app built on local Markdown files.
- Until now, Obsidian Sync (the official paid service) was the only way to sync vaults across devices, and accessing vault data programmatically required third-party plugins or file-wrangling. Geode offers a free, self-hostable alternative.
- MCP is an emerging protocol that lets AI assistants (like Claude) read and write directly from tools like a notes vault — so Geode effectively gives an LLM live access to your Obsidian knowledge base via a standardized interface.
- The project targets power users who want full control over their data, offline-first sync, and AI integration without depending on Obsidian's proprietary ecosystem.
Max Weinbach says he had early access to OpenAI's new model GPT-5.6 Sol, calling it his favorite model by far. He highlights that it never gives up and will keep reasoning until it's done. OpenAI announced that GPT-5.6 Sol, along with Terra and Luna, will launch publicly on Thursday, with preview access expanding globally now.
The US government ordered Anthropic to suspend access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for all customers, citing a potential jailbreak technique that involved asking the model to review a codebase for vulnerabilities—a capability Anthropic says is available in other public models. Access was abruptly cut off on June 12.
Andrej Karpathy announces the release of Claude Fable 5, the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. He calls it a major step forward, particularly for long problem-solving sessions on difficult tasks, and describes it as state-of-the-art on nearly all benchmarks with exceptional performance in software engineering, research, and vision.
Roman Storm warns that the legal theory in his case could set a precedent making open-source developers liable for how others use their code, potentially criminalizing the mere publication of privacy, messaging, or crypto tools. He notes that developer Michael Lewellen cannot publish lawful code due to prosecution fears, and argues this chilling effect extends beyond any single case.
Meta's engineering culture is deteriorating under Mark Zuckerberg and Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, who have introduced keyboard tracking, reassignments to data labeling, and AI-centric performance metrics. Critics argue this incentivizes performative AI use, drives away experienced engineers, and contributed to a major Instagram hijacking incident caused by AI-written and AI-reviewed code.
