On the technical side, members tackled contract clause parsing methods, explored REPL-based context extension via PTC-MCP, and a new member open-sourced Restated-AI for producing amended-and-restated agreements. Gemini 3.1 Pro launched to mixed reviews, and Anthropic's Claude Code Security announcement sent shockwaves through the cybersecurity market.
