Brandon Thomas, the developer who previously used AI to reconstruct Adobe Creative Cloud for free, has now turned his attention to Microsoft Office. He has released open-source clone applications WordCraft, GridCraft, and DeckCraft on GitHub, corresponding to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, respectively. The three applications are written in Rust, with a single codebase that can run natively on Windows, macOS, Linux, and BSD, and can also run in a browser. Thomas refers to this as a clean room reconstruction, meaning it is based on publicly available file format specifications and observations of the original software's behavior, without ever copying Microsoft's code, similar to the legal path taken by Compaq in the 1980s to clone the IBM PC BIOS.WordCraft can read and write .docx format, covering 88% of the features in the Word ribbon. It currently supports revision tracking, footnotes, citations, and mail merge; however, taking into account document fidelity and stability, the team estimates its completeness as a Word alternative for actual work is only about 60%, and it is still labeled as an alpha early testing version. GridCraft has supported 513 out of 523 Excel worksheet functions and 89% of ribbon commands, with the developer self-assessing about 50% as usable for actual work. The next step is to improve compatibility with real .xlsx files.

The Ethereum staking withdrawal queue has retreated from last week's peak. After MetaMask began withdrawing validators, the withdrawal queue once climbed to about 851,000 ETH, and is currently down to about 767,000 ETH. Previously, on September 29, the queue was only about 166,000 ETH, growing more than five times in just a few days, reaching about 2% of the total staked ETH of approximately 43.6 million.On September 30, MetaMask disclosed a security incident affecting some of its infrastructure and took the affected validators offline as a precaution. Its update on October 1 stated that the investigation found no signs of impact on wallets or customer funds. In addition to its wallet services, MetaMask also operates validators for the staking service provider Lido. Ethereum security researcher Kaden estimates that this precautionary withdrawal involves about 17,000 validators and approximately 523,000 ETH, although MetaMask has not confirmed this data.Lido expects that as the affected validators withdraw and their balances are extracted, these ETH will gradually be restaked, a process that may take about 45 days. During the downtime, the affected validators will miss out on rewards, and Lido stated that stETH holders do not need to take any action. Meanwhile, the demand for entering the staking queue has cooled, with about 1.5 million ETH waiting to enter, and the estimated waiting time is about 25 days.
