News with sources: the SC26 launch, DOE Genesis Mission projects, releases, and papers. # What IOWarp is shipping. IOWarp is the team at the Gnosis Research Center that builds CLIO, the open-source stack connecting AI agents to scientific data and systems. It matters because organizations running scientific computing need AI they can check. IOWarp will launch the full stack at SC26 in Chicago, and every entry here links to its original source.

The team will present work on simulation monitoring, GPU I/O, storage observability, compressed training data, and agent fleets through workshop presentations, research posters, a conference paper, and an HDF5 birds-of-a-feather session with The HDF Group. Workshop presentations will take place on November 16, research posters on November 17, Trigger, Render, Reason on November 18, and the HDF5 birds-of-a-feather session on November 19. The community page lists every title, time, room, and program entry.

Companion updates to GACT, CLIO Kit, and CLIO Core ship alongside it, and clio.iowarp.ai now serves the one-line desktop and service installers.

The release also reads HDF5, NetCDF, and Parquet, reruns computations from pinned inputs against a stated tolerance, and keeps a claims ledger for each project.

The ADIOS, HDF5, pandas, Parquet, and Slurm servers gained per-step statistics, grouped aggregates, outlier reports, and the scheduler’s own reason for a job’s state.

A sealed run can be verified on another machine or shared as a redacted archive.

Desktop and Web become the supported ways to run CLIO Agent. It pins its own tested pairing of CLIO Kit and CLIO Core, separate from their standalone releases.

CLIO Data inspects and converts HDF5, ADIOS, and Parquet files and verifies each conversion by reading it back. The SPOTTER plugin lives at plugins/spotter.

[CLIO Core release notes](https://github.com/iowarp/clio-core/releases/tag/v2.3.2) [CLIO Core guides](https://iowarp.ai/docs/#core-guides) 9. 09 9 OCT 2026 RELEASE RECORD ### CLIO Coder releases approved extensions and playbooks The stable coding agent separates content plugins from sandboxed extensions that load after capability approval. Playbooks describe fleet contracts, and an optional semantic context index searches code, approved memory, and evidence. Background indexing is off by default.

The Core documentation site covers installation, Python APIs, storage composition, data operators, and the runtime dashboard. CLIO Agent keeps its own tested dependencies.

Its small launcher downloads selected components, keeps server dependencies isolated and locked, and installs supported workflows into client projects. The release is available on GitHub and PyPI, with its server contracts published to the MCP Registry.
