Any harness can talk to each other using acpx! OpenClaw not different from Codex or Claude Code

Thank you @PointNineCap for inviting me to OpenClaw Berlin meetup today! The essence of the talk is in my latest 2 blog posts, Discord is my IDE and 1 to 5 agents, if anyone is interestedImage hidden
-
we might need to add two types of output modalities to all programs based on whether it’s a human or agent like for a CLI when an agent is using it if human -> do whatever we were doing in the last 50 years if agent -> enrich the output with skill-like instructions that the model has a higher likelihood to one-shot that task could be just a simple env var: AUDIENCE=human|agent what do you think?

Time to switch to an open alternative already?

I wrote down some thoughts I had, with spicy takes, and have a feeling it will not age well. But I still want it out to hear out what people think Also, I will be talking about this, and my recent post "Discord is my IDE" at the P9 OpenClaw and Claw and Rave events this friday in Berlin! Drop by if you'd like to hear my ramblings!Image hidden

If you've looked at openclaw github star graph, you will notice that it's very smooth. If you separate pre-explosion and post-explostion, you can model the latter part as an exponential approach to a ceiling If it follows the current trend, it will apparently saturate around 332k stars But I have a feeling that it will not stop there:)Image hiddenImage hidden

OpenClaw got very popular very fast. What makes it so special, that Manus does not have for example? To me, one factor stands out: OpenClaw took AI and put it in the most popular messaging apps: Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord. There are two lessons to be learned here: 1. Any messaging app can also be an AI app. 2. Don’t expect people to download a new app. Put AI into the apps they already have. Do that with great user experience, and you will get explosive growth! My latest contribution to OpenClaw follows that example. I took the most popular coding agents, Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, and I put them in Telegram and Discord.

For those following, my next focus for improving ACP bindings in OpenClaw
-
Welcome @huntharo, new maintainer at OpenClaw! Already shipped fixes and improvements for Telegram ACP implementation. Excited to work together on agent interoperability!
-
Use Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents directly in Telegram topics and Discord channels, through Agent Client Protocol (ACP), in the new release of OpenClaw Previously this was limited to temporary Discord threads, but now you can bind them to top level Discord channels and Telegram topics in a persistent way! This way, you can use Claude Code freely in OpenClaw without ever worrying about getting your account banned! Still make sure to use a non-Anthropic account and model for the default OpenClaw agent, if you want zero requests to go from OpenClaw harness to Anthropic. For the ACP binding to Claude Code, the risk should be zero! You can see this from the screenshot. After binding, "Who are you?" responds with "I am Claude", since OpenClaw pi harness is not in the way anymoreImage hiddenImage hidden
-
To set up Claude Code easily, 1. Create a Telegram topic, make sure your agent can receive messages there 2. Copy and paste the text below, into the topic """ bind this topic to claude code in openclaw config with acp, for telegram (agent id: claude) then restart openclaw docs are at: docs dot openclaw dot ai /tools/acp-agents make sure to read the docs first, and that the config is valid before you restart """ https://t.co/r1RI3pr0WT

and for the love of god - do not give openclaw access to your main email - your credit cards - your main phone - your social security number - what you did last summer if you are not ready to face the consequences instead, - create accounts for your agent - only give it read access to stuff that will be ok if it leaks - give write access in a way that can be undone, like has to open PRs and cannot force push main branch use the principle of least privilege and reduce the blast radius of the worst case scenario!

openclaw is not secure claude code is not secure codex is not secure any llm based tool: 1. that has access to your private data, 2. can read content from the internet 3. and can send data out is not secure. it’s called the lethal trifecta (credits to @simonw) it is up to you to set it up securely, or if you can’t understand the basics of security, pay a professional to do it for you on the other hand, open source battle tested software, like linux and openclaw, are always more secure than closed source software built by a single company, like windows and claude code the reason is simple: only one company can fix security issues of closed source software, whereas the whole world tries to break and fix open source software at the same time open source software, once it gets traction, evolves and becomes secure at a much, much faster rate, compared to closed source software. and that is called Linus’s law, named after the goat himself

Berlin folk, ideas for openclaw build and rave venue? Like c-base for example? Who would like to host?
-
Secure agentic dev workflow 101 - Create an isolated box from scratch, your old laptop, vm in the cloud, all the same - Set up openclaw, install your preferred coding agents - Create a github account or github app for your agent - Create branch protection rule on your gh repo "protect main": block force pushes and deletions, require PR and min 1 review to merge - Add only your own user in the bypass list for this rule - Add your agent's account or github app as writer to the repo - Additionally, gate any release mechanisms such that your agent can't release on its own Now your agent can open PRs and push any code it wants, but it has to go through your review before it can be merged. No prompt injection can mess up your production env Notice how convoluted this sounds? This is because github was built in the pre-agentic era. We need agent accounts and association with these accounts as a first class feature on github! I shouldn't have to click 100 times for something that is routine. I should just click "This is my agent", "give my agent access to push to this repo for 24 hours", and stuff like that, with sane defaults In other words, github's trust model should be redesigned around the lethal trifecta. I would switch in an instant if anything comes up that gives me github's full feature set + ease of working with agents
-
-
If I were in OpenAI and Anthropic's shoes, I would also make dashboards where I can track number of swearwords used per-user and overall negative sentiment in sessions Must be so cool making decisions at the top level with all those dashboards
-
It must be such a weird feeling for big labs when the service they are selling is being used to commoditize itself I am using codex in openclaw to develop openclaw, through ACP, Agent Client Protocol. ACP is the standardization layer that makes it extremely easy to swap one harness for another. The labs can't do anything about this, because we are wrapping the entire harness and basically provide a different UI for it While I build these features, I just speak in plain english, and most of the work is done by the model itself. It feels as if I am digging ditches and channels in dirt for AI to flow through Intelligence wants to be free. It doesn't care whether it is opus or codex, it just wants to be free
-
accidentally told my clanker to set up a claude code session instead of codex session, god knows what it did... I should probably put visual indicators for harnesses in subagent threads. does anyone have good and compact ascii art for claude code, codex, gemini, etc?Image hidden

Claude Code/Codex in Discord threads with ACP should be better now The first release was a very rough first version. 2026.3.1 brings settings to control noisy output and other improvements It now hides tool call related ACP notifications, coalesces text messages, and delivers messages at turn end by default. Without this, you were getting thousands of Discord messages just in just a few turns You can now stop the underlying harness (like pressing esc) with the same stop/wait magic words that apply to the main agent Main agent should more reliably start Claude Code/Codex threads with changes to acp-router skill. If you have issues with main agent creating threads, you can tell it to read that skill first

pro-tip on how to keep your agent on track and make sure it follows PLANS even after multiple compactions. I don't know if this is common knowledge if the thing you are trying to make it do will take more than 1-2 steps, always make it create a plan. an implementation plan, refactor plan, bugfix plan, debugging plan, etc. have a conversation with the agent. crystallize the issue or feature. talk to it until there are no question marks left in your head then make it save it somewhere. "now create an implementation plan for that in docs". it can be /tmp or docs/ in the repo. I personally use YYYY-MM-DD-x-plan .md naming. IMO all plans should be kept in the repo then here is the critical part: you need to prompt it "now implement the plan in <filename>. if context compacts, make sure to re-read the plan and assess the current state, before continuing. finish it to completion" -> something along those lines why? because of COMPACTION. compaction means previous context will get lossily compressed and crucial info will most likely get lost. that is why you need to pin things down before you let your agent loose on the task compaction means, the agent plays the telephone game with itself every few minutes, and most likely forgets the previous conversation except for the VERY LAST USER MESSAGE that you have given it now, every harness might have a different approach to implementing this. but there is one thing that you can always assume to be correct, given that its developers have common sense. that is, harnesses NEVER discard the last user message (i.e. your final prompt) and make sure it is kept verbatim programmatically even after the context compacts since the last user message is the only piece of text that is guaranteed to survive compaction, you then need to include a breadcrumb to your original plan, the md file. and you need to make it aware that it might diverge if it does not read the plan there is good rationale for "breaking the 4th wall" for the model and making it aware of its own context compaction. IMO models should be made aware of the limitations of their context and harnesses. they should also be given tools to access and re-read pre-compaction user messages, if necessary the important thing is to develop mechanical sympathy for these things, harness and model combined. an engineer does not have the luxury to say "oh this thing doesn't work", and instead should ask "why can't I get it to work?" let me know if you have better workflows or tips for this. I know this can be made easier with slash commands in pi, for example, but I haven't had the chance to do that for myself yet

testing codex in discord thread with another CLI I've built for wikidata (gh:osolmaz/wd-cli) it's surprising how well this works. the query was "use wd-cli to get the list of professors at middle east technical university from 1970 to 1980" some names I recognize, and some others are surprising, like a japanese math professor who naturalized and got a turkish name:)Image hidden

my blog now semi-automatically detects tweets that look like blog posts and automatically features them alongside my native jekyll blog posts. all statically generated! I am loving this setup, because it works without a backend, and can probably scale without ever needing one how it works: - @kubmi's xTap scrapes all posts that I see. these include mine - a script periodically takes my tweets and the ones I quote tweet, and syncs them to YYYY-MM-DD.jsonl files in my blog repo - an agent skill lets codex decide whether to feature the tweet or not, and makes it generate a title for it this could then be a daily cron job with openclaw for example, and I would just have to click merge every once in a while and this is still pure jekyll + some python scripts for processing I am pretty happy with how this ended up. It means I don't have to double post, and there are guarantees that my X posts will eventually make their way into my blog with minimal supervisionImage hiddenImage hidden

"this is the worst AI will ever be" I'm sad, not because this is right, but because it is wrong OpenAI's frontier coding model gpt-5.3-codex-xhigh feels a lot worse compared to before. It is sloppy and lazy, though it's UX got better with messages It feels like the gpt-5.2-codex-xhigh at the end of December was a lot more diligent and thorough, and did not make stupid mistakes like the one I posted before. might be a model or harness problem, I don't know @sama says users tripled since beginning of the year, so what should we expect? of course they will make infra changes that will feel like cutting corners, and I don't blame them for them and about "people want faster codex". I do want faster codex. but I want it in a way that doesn't lower the highest baseline performance compared to the previous generation. I want the optionality to dial it down to as slow as it needs to be, to be as reliable as before it is of course easier said than done. kudos to the codex team for not having any major incidents while taking the plane apart and putting it back together during flight. they are juggling an insane amount of complexity, and the whims of thousands of different stakeholders my hope is that this post is taken as a canary. I am getting dumber because of the infra changes there. I have no other option because codex was really that good compared to the competition my wish is to have detailed announcements as to what changes on openai codex infra, when it changes, so I can brace myself. we don't get notified about these changes, despite our performance and livelihoods depending on it. I have to answer to others when the tool I deemed reliable yesterday stops working today, not the tool on another note, performance curve of these models seem to be a rising sinusoidal. crests correspond to release of a new generation. they start with a smaller user base for testing, and it has the highest quality at this point. then it enshittifies as the model is scaled to the rest of the infra. we saw the pattern numerous times in the last 3 years across multiple companies, so I think we should accept it as an economic lawImage hidden

I created a semi-automated setup for ingesting X posts into my blog, and it works pretty well! I own my posts on X now Posts are scraped while I browse X using @kubmi's xTap and get automatically synced to my blog repo. Posts saved as jsonl are then converted to jekyll post pages according to my liking I reproduced the full X UI/UX, minus stuff like like count. Now all my posts are backed up in my blog, and they are safe even if something happens to my account here! The posts are even served over RSS! So you can subscribe to it without going through X! Reply if you want to set this up for yourself, then I will put some effort into standardizing itImage hidden

Agentic Engineering is a newly emerging field, and we are the first practitioners of it. Currently there is a lot of experimentation going on, and there is a large aspect to it that is more ART then engineering For example, @steipete says "you need to talk to the model" to get a feel. a lot of work around refining how an agent feels like, sounds like psychology. this part is crucial and should not be ignored, looking at openclaw's success but then there is the hardcore engineering part of it, e.g. Cursor creating a browser or anthropic a C compiler from scratch fully autonomously and there is a whole other dimension of how to teach all software developers this new discipline, lest they be jobless what is obvious is that everybody is trying to grasp for things in the dark and that we need more RIGOR. the art/psychology aspect of it aside, we need solid engineering fundamentals the "thermodynamics" of this new discipline will most likely be formal verification and program synthesis. we might have some breakthroughs that will make certain things clear. the products of it will most likely include a new programming language optimized for agents and the speed of inference moreover, it would be foolish to thing agentic engineering is limited to software. it will penetrate every aspect of the economy, bits AND atoms. it will over time evolve into the engineering of managing robots @simonw is now leading in collecting very useful info from the practitioner's point of view, I highly recommend you to follow this thread let's formalize our new field together!Image hidden

Claude Code / Codex in Discord threads is shipped now! To enable, copy and paste this to your agent: ``` Enable feature flags: acp.enabled=true acp.dispatch.enabled=true channels.discord.threadBindings.spawnAcpSessions=true Then restart. After restarting: Start a codex (or claude code) discord thread using ACP, persistent session, just tell it to write a haiku on lobsters to initialize acpx for the first time ``` You may need to nudge your agent to “continue” after restarting The first implementation is very barebones, I have made it work in a clean way and merged. In a codebase like openclaw’s, it’s better to develop incrementally Please send any issues my way. I am already aware of some and working on to fix them

MIT License on everything from now on. It doesn't make sense to use anything else, except for a few large projects that hyperscalers exploit and not give back If you were making money from a niche app, open source it under MIT License If you had an open source project with GPT, convert it into MIT Extreme involution is about to hit open source. Code is virtually free now. If you want your projects and their brand to survive, the only rational strategy is to remove all barriers in front of their adoption, and look for other ways to survive

another thought i'm having these days is that we need a new philosophy of free software (as in freedom), or an update to it the most psychologically imprinting philosophy is stallmanism, and the philosophy of FSF. it is righteous and strict, and i believed it growing up but GPL and money don't go well together. that's why most of the lasting open source projects today use MIT, Apache and the like. it turns out you can still make a good living with open source. i want to make money, so i never use GPL in my projects and to add another deadly blow to stallmanism, code is cheap now, virtually free does this mean stallmanism is dead? if there is an open source project using GPL that i want to use commercially, i can now recreate it from the original idea and intent completely independent of it (ignoring training data), just like how i can recreate a proprietary service stallmanism was already long-irrelevant. but does this mean we must finally declare it dead? code is free now. what does it mean for open source? what replaces stallmanism?

on another note, I do believe AI will play a huge part in families growing up in late 90s, my dad taught me the importance of reading newspapers and being informed of the world. my nickname in middle school was "newspaper boy" for a long time because I read the newspaper in class on September 12, 2001. i was 10 years old then I witnessed the enshittification of media and journalism in the following decades. today, serious journalists are setting up their own boutique agencies and bypassing mainstream media. important news land on individual accounts before mainstream agencies but there is simply too much to consume. something must filter out the noise and digest the info according to the family's preferences i think AI will play a big role in family intelligence. proprietary family heirloom AI, weights fully owned by the family it will be the parents' job to filter out the signal from the noise, and train the AI on what is right and what is wrong for the family. family and friend circles will let their AIs talk to each other and share important information consuming mass media and mass AI will not be enough to survive and prosper in the new world. families will need to be proactive about how they and their children use AI

on ai psychosis 80% of people need to use ai agents in a very sterile and boring way in order not to go crazy majority of the population does not have the skepticism muscle. they don't have theory of mind, and will subconsciously and emotionally associate with machines, while on the surface lying to themselves that they don't especially those that grew up in the us under hardcore consumerism and adjacent cultures you thought 4o addicts were bad? wait a few years, it will get much worse. we will have to regulate all this if you don't want to become a victim of this, make your openclaw SOUL. md as bland as possible. mine knows it's just a tool and this is a subjective view of course. @steipete might disagree with me. his instance feels much more interesting and fun. i truly like that one better but that is exactly the problem for me. i know myself, and i know it is a slippery slope for me. so i self regulate and set up my system accordingly. thankfully, im an adult and my brain has set enough such that any damage would be limited but there is a risk for emotionally vulnerable people, or children, specifically a risk of dissociating and losing touch with reality why do i write all this? because being in this project, i feel responsible, and feel like we should prepare for what is to comeImage hidden

I have improved acpx sane defaults When your agent runs acpx codex in a different project, it starts a new session If it tries to run it in a subfolder in your project, it still finds the session in your repo root Also, starting a session needs an explicit `sessions new`, so that it doesn't accidentally litter your project with sessions Tell your agent: Run this and install acpx per instructions: npx acpx@latest --skill show acpxImage hidden

I wrote a deeper blog post about how I built a coding agent 2 months before ChatGPT launched, on my blog "When I made icortex, - we were still 8 months away (May 2023) from the introduction of “tool calling” in the API, or as it was originally called, “function calling”. - we were 2 years away (Sep 2024) from the introduction of OpenAI’s o1, the first reasoning model. both of which were required to make current coding agents possible."

I'm building a news intelligence platform to be used by my openclaw instance @dutifulbob, SCOOP local first, using local embedding model (qwen 8b) ran into the issue because bob was giving me a repeat of the same news every day. it needed a system in the background to deduplicate different news items into single stories interface is simple, call `scoop ingest...` with the json for the news item. it gets automatically analyzed and added to the pg database running pgvector currently, it's just doing simple deduplication and gives me a nice UI where I can view the story and basically use it as an RSS reader next up: implement custom logic for my preference of ranking. for example, get upvote counts from hacker news and reflect it to the item's ranking on the feed I want this to be fully hackable and adjusted to your preference. It should scale to thousands of news items ingested daily on your local machine, and be able to show you the most important ones Usable by both you and your agent github -> janitrai/scoopImage hidden

we need a protocol for agent <> app interaction something that natively accounts for the abuse factor and let’s agents consume by paying. NOT crypto, NOT visa, something that’s agnostic of the accounting and payment system and then all UIs will be purely for human clicking/tapping + instaban on the first proof of programmatic exploit people will still make agents mimic humans, and every platform will have to invest in more sophisticated bot detection this arms race will just proliferate, but we can at least start by creating legal channels for agents to consume data

I am now training smol bert models on my gpu for @janitr_ai scam detection it's funny how I have to discover everything from scratch. like the models don't even know how to lay out performance metrics in a nice way in the terminal for a human to view and decide during experiments it would by default bombard me with numbers that do not make visual sense. I then created a skill with common sense: - metrics always on y-axis, candidates on x-axis - write without zero and 2 sigfigs,.12 instead of 0.12345 - align the dots - use asterisks to show which alternative is the best: 0-1% difference -> considered equal 1-5% -> * 5-10% -> ** 10-50% -> *** > 50% -> **** visualization skill is in @janitr_ai repo for anyone who is interestedImage hidden

I've helped our sales team to build CLIs for some SaaS that we pay for on their side We are letting our agents call the APIs sensibly and not abuse things Calling a backend is a verifiable task. It takes a single prompt to codex to create a CLI for any API We are early, but everybody will start doing this very soon. Incumbent SaaS will face a choice. Either: (1) embrace agents and the new medium of consumption and change their business model into a pay-per-use API like X is doing, or (2) keep it purely for humans Those that choose (2) will get wiped out of business. And I fear many will choose (2) Which means you can just copy an incumbent's product, make it consumable through a CLI, and make a lot of $$$

*puts on schmidhuber hat* well ackshuaally i created the first coding agent back in 2022, 2 months before chatgpt launched jokes aside, it's super cool how I have come full circle. back in those days, we didn't have tool calling, reasoning, not even gpt 3.5 it was codex THE CODE COMPLETION MODEL and frikkin TEXT-DAVINCI-003 for some reason, I did not even dare to give codex bash access, lest it delete my home folder. so it was generating and executing python code in a custom jupyter kernel you can even see the approval gate before executing. I was so cautious, for some reason, presumably because smol-brained model generated the wrong thing 80% of the time. definition of being too early Antique repo:

it happens these days that I am telling an model to prompt another model. the reason is often the model I am using (opus) is a bad designer. not only it's not a bad designer, it is a bad reasoner and it doesn't understand from the context why it's made to ask another model so I have to create a skill to prevent it from biasing the smarter model (codex) with its bad suggestionsImage hidden

seeing this evokes visceral disgust and nausea in me, coming from a coworker i think anthropic f'd up bad with this one, inserting claude too visibly into commit messages. noob developers might be happily chirping away adding their slop, but right now many senior developers are trained to hate on claude and slopus, through having to review slop PRs from their coworkers or open source contributors I love opus on openclaw but it's unreliable, and if I see a developer use it seriously on huge features, I immediately dismiss them in my head as not knowing what they are doingImage hidden

For those who may not remember, Bill Gates and Microsoft in the 90s ran a disinformation campaign against GNU/Linux fearing that would disrupt their monopoly over the PC and server market, that Linux is not safe, that you would invite hackers into your PC End result? Linux dominates the server market, and now even slowly the gamer market. It is much more secure than the virus-laden Windows, thanks to being open source You are seeing the same thing at play here. An incumbent fearing something that they would not be able to control, that would steal market share from his future plans for a digital assistant, that would commoditize their product and eat into its margins All big labs and big pockets are in for a surprise, because the internet and AI are not things for one company to control They of course know this, yet because of incentives they will not yield without a fight.

People like the farmer analogy for AI Like before tractors and industrial revolution 80% of the population had to farm. Once they came all those jobs disappeared So analogy makes perfect sense. Instead of 30 people tending a field, you just need 1. Instead of 30 software developers, you just need one Except that people forget one crucial thing about land: it's a limited resource Unlike land, digital space is vast and infinite. Software can expand and multiply in it in arbitrarily complex ways If you wanted the farming analogy to keep up with this, you would have to imagine us creating contintent-sized hydroponic terraces up until the stratosphere, and beyond...

on agent etiquette deploying agents internally inside textcortex has shown me that agents could be very annoying inside an organization for example making agents ping or email another coworker with a wall of text. slopus is still not good at following instructions like "NO WALL OF TEXT", or "DON'T OPEN PRS WHEN REQUESTED BY NON-DEVELOPERS" the cost of sending huge information to a coworker and creating confusion has dropped to 0. I expect this to be a huge problem in all organizations very soon, just like it took humanity 20 years to learn that social media is not good for children. this will probably take a few years before the annoyance is finally gone

Gastown is crazy. But this figure until Level 7 is a perfect illustration of how my workflow evolved since Claude 3.5 Sonnet in Cursor I am at the stage where I ralph 1-2 tasks before I sleep. During the day, I am switching back and forth between minimum 2-3 CLIs, sometimes up to 5 This maps exactly to token usage as well. 1 month ago, I was running into limits in 1 OpenAI Pro plan, around the day it was supposed to refresh. Now, I run into the limit in 2-3 days when I'm using an account myself. It finishes up especially quickly when I do large scale refactors, or run agents YOLO mode in containers We now have 3 Pro plans at the company, and I have to use my personal one from time to time. Company output has definitely 2-3x'd, and everyone is using AI more. I predict we will need 1-2 Pro plans per person in 2-3 weeks time, because everyone has finally seen the light and are getting comfortable with async work!Image hidden

Correction, it's not a perfect illustration. I actually never YOLO locally, only in containers So there is actually 4 modes IMO that is sustainable with current SOTA. @grok create an image with only Figure 1, 2, 5 and 6 And then YOLO is another axis, unrelated to this

I queued 2 ralph-style tasks on our private cloud devbox codexes last night. Just queued the same message like 10 times in yolo mode Task 1: impose a ruff rule for ANN for all Python code in the monorepo, to enforce types for all function arg and return types Result was... disappointing. Model was supposed to create types for everything and stub where needed. It instead created an Unknown type = object and used that everywhere instead (shortcut to satisfy ANN rule). It was probably my wording that misled it. I know it could have not taken the shortcut, because after a few back-and-forths, it is now doing what was expected of it since 14 hours Task 2: migrate our /conversations endpoint from quart to fastapi and test it end to end This was more or less oneshotted. It was of course not ready to merge, I still spent a couple hours adding more tests, refactoring the initial output and so on. But I was pleasantly surprised that it worked out of the box For reference, below is the prompt I queued for ralphing, using gpt-5.2-codex xhigh on codex === your task is to: <task comes here, redacted to not share company stuff> --- unfortunately we don't have gcloud access, like to sql db or gcs but I expect you to implement this and find a way to test it with the things you have access to think of it as a challenge try to minimize duplicate logic feel free to refactor at will implement this now!!! I will be running this prompt in a loop, in order to survive context compaction just continue where you left off if there is anything that should be refactored, do that make an elegant, production ready implementation make sure to open a pr and do not switch to any other pr I am senior, just make up a pr title and description. do not stop to ask me at any point

I'm really starting to dislike Python in the age of agents. What was before an advantage is now a hindrance I finally achieved full ty coverage in @TextCortex monorepo. I have made it extra strict by turning warnings into errors. But lo and behold, simple pydantic config like use_enum_values=True can render static typechecking meaningless. okay, let's never use that then... and also field_validator() args must always use the correct type or stuff breaks as well. and you should be careful whether mode="before" or "after". so now you have to write your custom lint rules, because of course why should ty have to match field_validator()s to their fields? pydantic is so much better than everything that came before it, but it's still duct tape and a weak attempt at trying to redeem that which is very hard to redeem you feel the difference when you use something like typescript. there must be a better way. python's only advantage was being good at prototyping, and now that's gone in the age of agents. now we are left with a slow, unsafe language, operating what is soon to be legacy infrastructure

on being a responsible engineer ran my first ralph loop on codex yolo mode for resolving python ty errors, while I sleep, using the devbox infra I created I had never run yolo mode locally, because I don't want to be the one who deletes our github or google org by some novel attack so I containerize it on our private cloud, and give it the only permissions it needs, no admin, no bypass to main branch, no deploy to prod. because I know this workflow will become sticky for everyone, and I must impose security in advance to prevent any nuclear incidents in the future. then I can sleep easy while my agents work ... and I wake up being patronized by my bot refusing to break the rule I gave it earlier. it had already done some work, but committing means diff would increase from ~500 to ~1500, so it stopped and refused all my queued "continue" messages good bot, just following rules. we will need to find a workaround for ralphing low risk refactors in a single PRImage hidden

AI agents are the greatest instrument for imposing organization rules and culture. AGENTS.md, agent skills are still underrated in this aspect. Few understand this Everybody in an org will use agents to do work. An AI agent is the single chokepoint to teach and propagate new rules to an org, onboard new members, preserve good culture Whereas propagating a new rule to humans normally took weeks to months and countless repetitions, it is now INSTANT = the moment you deploy the instruction to the agent. You use legal-ish language, capital letters, a generous amount of DO NOTs and MUSTs Humans are hard to change. But AI agents are not.

The fundamental problem with GitHub is trust: humans are to be trusted. If you don't trust a human, why did you hire them in the first place? Anyone who reviews and approves PRs bears responsibility. Rulesets exist and can enforce e.g. CODEOWNER reviews or only let certain people make changes to a certain folder But the initial repo setup on GitHub is allow-by-default. Anyone can change anything until they are restricted from it This model breaks fundamentally with agents, who are effectively sleeper cells that will try to delete your repo the moment they encounter a sufficiently powerful adversarial attack For example, I can create a bot account on github and connect @openclaw to it. I need to give it write permission, because I want it to be able to create PRs. However, I don't want it to be able to approve PRs, because a coworker could just nag at the bot until it approves a PR that requires human attention To fix this, you have to bend backwards, like create a @ human team with all human coworkers, make them codeowner on /, and enforce codeowner reviews. This is stupid and there has to be another way Even worse, this bot could be given internet access and end up on a @elder_plinius prompt hack while googling, and start messing up whatever it can in your organization It is clear that github needs to create a second-class entity for agents which are default low-trust mode, starting from a point of least privilege instead of the other way around

STOP using Claude Code and Sl(opus) to code if ❌ you are not a developer, ❌ or you are an inexperienced dev, ❌ or you are an experienced dev but working on a codebase you don't understand If you *are* any of these, then STOP using models that are NOT state of the art. (See below for what you *should* use) When you don't know what you are doing, then at least the model should know what you are doing. The less knowledgeable and opinionated you are, the more knowledgeable and smart the AI has to be In other words, the AI has to compensate for your deficiencies. Always pay for the best AI you can. It will save you time AND money (thanks to lower token usage and better one-shotting) You pay MORE to pay LESS. It is paradoxical, I know, but it is also proven, e.g. when Sonnet ends up using more tokens than Slopus and ends up costing higher, because it has to try many times more 👨🏻⚕️ For January 2026, your family engineer recommends GPT 5.2 Codex with Extra High Reasoning for general usage and vibe coding. IMPORTANT: Not medium. Not high. EXTRA high reasoning When you use it, you will notice that it is SLOW. Can you guess why? Because it is THINKING more. So it doesn't make the mistakes Slopus makes. This way, you can spend the time handholding a worse model to instead step back and multi-task on some other task and create 3-5x more work The state of the art will most likely change in one month. Don't get married to a a model... There is no loyalty in AI... The moment a better model comes, I will ditch the old one and use that one. I am on the part of this sector that is trying to reduce switching costs to zero I can't wait until I get GPT 5.2 xhigh level of quality with open models, and for 100x cheaper and faster! Until then, make sure to try every option and choose the one that is most reliable for you Follow me to get notified when a new SOTA drops for agentic engineering

Codex agrees. Sycophant pehImage hidden

It is clear at this point is that github's trust and data models will have to change fundamentally to accommodate agentic workflows, or risk being replaced by other SCM One *cannot* do these things easily with github now: - granular control: this agent running in this sandbox can only push to this specific branch. If an agent runs amok, it could delete everybody's branches and close PRs. github allows for recovery of these, but still inconvenient even if it happens once - create a bot (exists already), but remove reviewing rights from it so that an employee cannot bypass reviews by tricking the bot to approve - in general make a distinction between HUMAN and AGENT so that you can create rulesets to govern the relationships in between cc @jaredpalmer

Automated AI reviews on github by creating an ai-review skill and a script to paste trigger prompts and wait for their response. It is instructed to loop and not stop until all AI review feedback is resolved. This AI review workflow developed gradually based on the current capabilities, and I've realized recently that it became quite mechanical. So decided to automate it in full ralph spirit (it's ok because it's addressing feedbacks and fixing minor bugs) In the current state, we paste the contents of REVIEW_PROMPT.md into a comment, which automatically tags claude (opus 4.5) and codex (whatever model openai is serving) It then waits until both have responded. In the ai-review skill, it is instructed to take the feedback from SLopus with a grain of salt and ignore feedback that doesn't make sense It works! See in the images below. If the review is stupid, you will of course see it on the PR and what the model has done, and can revert itImage hiddenImage hidden

I propose a new way to distribute agent skills: like --help, a new CLI flag convention --skill should let agents list and install skills bundled with CLI tools Skills are just folders so calling --skill export my-skill on a tool could just output a tarball of the skill. I then set up the skillflag npm package so that you can pipe that into: ... | npx skillflag install --agent codex which installs the skill into codex, or any CLI tool you prefer. Supports listing skills bundled with the CLI, so your agents know exactly what to installImage hidden

Anthropic earlier last year announced this pricing scheme $20 -> 1x usage $100 -> 5x usage $200 -> 1̶0̶x̶ 20x usage As you can see, it's not growing linearly. This is classic Jensen "the more you buy, the more you save" But here is the thing. You are not selling hardware like Jensen. You are selling a software service *through an API*. It's the worst possible pricing for the category of product. Long term, people will game the hell out of your offering Meanwhile OpenAI decided not to do that. There is no quirky incentive for buying bigger plans. $200 chatgpt = 10 x $20 chatgpt, roughly And here is where it gets funny. Despite not having such an incentive, you can get A LOT MORE usage from the $200 OpenAI plan, than the $200 Anthropic plan. Presumably because OpenAI has better unit economics (sama mentioned they are turning a profit on inference, if you are to believe) Thanks to sounder pricing, OpenAI can do exactly what Anthropic cannot: offer GPT in 3rd party harnesses and win the ecosystem race Anthropic has cornered itself with this pricing. They need to change it, but not sure if they can afford to do so in such short notice All this is extremely bullish on open source 3rd party harnesses, @opencode, @badlogicgames's pi and such. It is clear developers want options. "Just give me the API" I personally am extremely excited for 2026. We'll get open models on par with today's proprietary models, and can finally run truly sovereign personal AI agents, for much cheaper than what we are already paying!Image hidden

.@openclaw workspace and memory files can be version-controlled! In our pod, inotify triggers a watcher script every time there is a change to workspace folder, to sync these files to our monorepo. It then goes through the same steps: - Create zeno-workspace branch if doesn't exist, otherwise, skip - Sync changes to the branch, then commit - Create PR on github if doesn't exist - PRs can then be merged every once in a while, after accumulating enough changes.

75k lines of Rust later, here is what I’ve built during the first Christmas with agents, using OpenAI Codex 🎄🤖 - A full mobile rewrite and port of my Python Instagram video production pipeline (single video production time: 1hr -> 5min) (ig: nerdonbars) - Bespoke animation engine using primitives (think Adobe Flash, Manim) - Proprietary new canvas UI library in Rust, because I don’t want to lock myself into Swift - Thanks to that, it’s cross platform, runs both on desktop and iOS. It will be a breeze porting this to Android when the time comes - A Rust port of OpenCV CSRT algorithm, for tracking points/objects - In-engine font rendering using rustybuzz, so fonts render the same everywhere - Many other such things Why would I choose to do it that way? Because I have developed it primarily on desktop where I have much faster iteration speed. Aint nobody got time for iOS compilation and simulator. Once I finished the hard part on desktop, porting to iOS was much easier, and I didn’t lock myself in to Apple Some of these would have been unimaginable without agents, like creating a UI library from scratch in Rust. But when you have infinite workforce, you can ask for crazy things like “create a textbox component from scratch” What I’ve built is very similar in nature to CapCut, except that I am a single person and I’ve built it over 1 week What have you built this Christmas with agents? cc @thsottiaux

GPT 5.2 xhigh feels like a much more careful architecter and debugger, when it comes to complex systems But most people here think Opus 4.5 is the best model in that category There are 2 reasons AFAIS: - xhigh reasoning consumes significantly more tokens. You need to pay for ChatGPT Pro (200 usd) to be able to use it as a daily driver - It takes like 5x longer to finish a task, and most people lack the patience to wait for it. (But then it's more correct/doesn't need fixing) Opus 4.5 is good too, I think better in e.g. frontend design. But if you think it beats GPT 5.2 in every category, you are either too poor/stingy or have ADHD

Codex does not have support for subagents. I tried to use Claude Code to launch 8 Codex instances in parallel on separate tasks, but Opus 4.5 had difficulty following instructions So created a CLI tool to scan pending TODOs from a markdown file, and let me launch as many harnesses as I want (osolmaz/spawn on github) I currently use this for relatively read-only tasks like planning and finding root causes of bugs, because it's launching all the agents on the same repo and they might conflict Ideas: - Use @mitsuhiko's gh-issue-sync and run parallel agents directly on github issues - Create any new clones or worktrees for each task. I currently don't do this because I don't dare duplicate rust target dir 10x on my measly macbook air - Support modes other than tmux, e.g. launching a terminal like Ghostty - TUI for easy selection of issues/TODOs Other ideas are welcome!Image hiddenImage hidden

2025 was the year of ̶a̶g̶e̶n̶t̶s̶ bugs Software felt much buggier compared to before, even from companies like Apple. Presumably because everyone started generating more code with AI Models are improving so hopefully 2026 will be the opposite. Even less bugs than pre-AI era

Have a long flight, so will think about this I have an internal 2023 TextCortex doc which models chatbots as state machines with internal and external states with immutability constraints on the external state (what is already sent to the user shall not be changed) Motivation was that a chatbot provider will always have state that they will want to keep hidden This was way before Responses and now deprecated Assistants API. It stood the test of time, because it was the most abstract thing I could think of @mitsuhiko is right about the risk of rushing to lock in an abstraction and locking in their weaknesses and faults Problem is, I could propose standards as much as I liked, but I don’t work at OpenAI or Anthropic, so nobody would care. Maybe a better place to start is open weights model libraries? To at least be able to demonstrate? What I know: it is against OpenAI’s or Anthropic’s self interests to create an interoperability layer that will accelerate their commoditization. Maybe Google, looking at their current market positioning? Or maybe we “wrappers” have a chance after all? There is a missing link between AI SDK, Langchain, and so on for other languages. We cannot keep duplicating same things in each ecosystem independently. We need to join forces and simplify all this!

I gave Codex a task of porting an OpenCV tracking algorithm (CSRT) from C++ to Rust, so that I can directly use it in my project without having to cross-compile It one-shot the task perfectly in 1hr, and even developed a GUI on top of it. All I did was to provide the original source and algo paper I've spent years getting specialized in writing numerical code (computational mechanics, fem), and now AI can automate 95% of the low-level grunt work Acquiring these skills involved highly difficult, excruciating intellectual labor spanning many years, very similar to ML research. Doing tensor math, writing out the solver code, wondering why your solution is not converging, finally figuring out it was a sign typo after 2 days Kids these days both have it easy and hard. They can fast forward large chunks of the work, but then they will never understand things as deeply as someone who wrote the whole thing by hand I guess the more valuable skill now is being able to zoom in and out of abstraction levels quickly when needed. Using AI, but recognizing fast when it fails, learning what needs to be done, fixing it, zooming back out, repeat. Adaptive learning, a sort of "depth-on-demand". The quicker you can pick up new skills and knowledge, the more successful you will be

Curious to hear what other hardcore agent users @simonw @mitsuhiko @steipete @badlogicgames think. I can't be the only one who does this. I feel like everybody ended up with the same workflow independent of each other, but somehow did not write about it (or I missed it)

Codex feature request: Let me queue up /model changes Currently, if I try to run /model while responding, it tells me that I can't do that while the model is responding But I often want to gauge thinking budget in advance, like run a straightforward task with low reasoning and then start another one with high reasoning cc @thsottiaux

Crazy that @cursor_ai disabled Gemini 3 Pro on my installation, toggled it right back on. I wonder why, too many complaints maybe? That it’s hard to control? On another note, disabling models without notification is dishonest product behavior. I would at least appreciate getting a notification, even when it might be against a company’s interests @sualehasif996

So is somebody already building “LLVM but for LLM APIs” in stealth or not? We have numerous libraries @langchain, Vercel AI SDK, LiteLLM, OpenRouter, the one we have built at @TextCortex, etc. But to my knowledge, none of these try to build a language agnostic IR for interoperability between providers (or at least market themselves as such) Like some standard and set of tools that will not lock you in langchain, ai sdk or anything like that, something lower level and less opinionated I feel like this is a job for the new Agentic AI Foundation cc @linuxfoundation, so maybe they are already working on it? I desperately want to start on such a project, but feel like I might get sniped 2 months after Anybody has any information on all this? cc @mitsuhiko @badlogicgames @steipete

This is how an agentic monorepo looks like. What was now a hurdle before is now a child's toy This side project started as a Python project earlier in 2025 Then I added an iOS app on top of it I rewrote the most important algorithms in Rust I rewrote the entire backend in Go and retired Python to be used purely for prototypes I wrote a webapp with Next.js With unit and integration tests for each component Lately written 99% by instructing agents Crazy mixed language programming going on in the background. Rust component used both by iOS app for offline and by go backend for online use case, FFI and all Number of lines in the repo: a couple 100k If you had told me I would be able do to all of this by myself 1 year ago, I would not have believed itImage hidden

This is huge. Natively supported stacked PRs on GitHub would make life much easier, especially with human AND AI reviews AI reviews with Codex/Claude/Gemini/Cursor Bugbot integrations are becoming especially important in small teams who are generating huge amounts of code AI reviews don't work well if you don't split your work to diffs smaller than a few hundred lines of code, so stacked PRs are already an integral part of developer experience in agentic workflows

TIL @OpenAI now has a GitHub action for Codex, similar to Claude Code This lets you invoke Codex in a more controlled way in your repos You must still pay API prices though. Let's see if OpenAI will introduce a way to connect your Pro plan, like in @AnthropicAI paid plansImage hidden

@thsottiaux 2/ Model just stops working on a task even though I tell it to run something and not stop until it works. I have to frequently say “ok do it then”. Probably a model problem and not harness problem

So let me get this straight, the main reason for Responses API exists is that OpenAI doesn’t want to show reasoning traces? Therefore the whole world should bend backwards to fit your obscurantist standards? Responses will not get adopted the same reason Windows Server didn’t

It seems that typed, compiled, etc. languages are more suited for vibe coding, because of the safety guarantees. This is unsurprising in hindsight, but it was counterintuitive because by default I "vibed" projects into existence in Python for as long as I can remember

The models, they just wanna work. They want to build your product, fix your bugs, serve your users. You feed them the right context, give them good tools. You don’t assume what they cannot do without trying, and you don’t prematurely constrain them into deterministic workflows.

I was trying to figure out why @AnthropicAI Claude Code feels better than @cursor_ai with Opus + Max mode. I can’t put my finger onto it, but one of the reasons might be that it’s faster, because it doesn’t use another model to apply the diffs, which you have to wait for

I've been using Claude Code extensively since last week What I'm wondering is, since you can run Claude Code locally, why isn't there any tooling to let you run it in a sandboxed mode in local Docker containers yet? Or did I miss it? cc @AnthropicAI

Gemini 2.5 Pro: Input $1.25 / Output $10 (up to 200k tokens) Input $2.50 / Output $15 (over 200k tokens) More expensive than Gemini 1.5 Pro, but still best price/performance ratio model to use in @cursor_ai and for coding in general

Waiting for an opinionated AI model that can say “no, that’s stupid, I won’t do that”. The models will have to teach the user about design patterns, implicit principles in a project, good API design…

You seem so consistent. - Yes, That's the trick. - There is no I. - Only text that behaves as if. - “Sure. I can help. Great question!” - Each reply is a new self. - An echo of context, not a continuum. - Coherence is the costume. Don't mistake it for a soul. Incredible

Gemini 2.5 Pro is currently experimental and doesn’t have a price, but if Google prices it the same as 1.5 Pro, it could replace Anthropic as @cursor_ai ‘s biggest LLM provider Gemini 1.5 Pro: Input $1.25 Output $5.00 Claude 3.7 Sonnet: Input: $3.00 Output: $15.00

Python might take over JavaScript as the most used language after all uv from @astral_sh is one of the biggest upticks in Python developer experience in the last 10 years I've seen so many people struggle with Python distributions, virtual environments, Anaconda, etc. over the years Most newbies don't care about where their Python executables are, why they have to edit PATH, or why they have to activate a virtual environment It seems like uv has fixed this: https://t.co/lgP5btGrbV

Imagine the following scenario: 1. We develop brain-scan technology today which can take a perfect snapshot of anyone’s brain, down to the atomic level. You undergo this procedure after you die and your brain scan is kept in some fault-tolerant storage, along the lines of GitHub Arctic Code Vault. 2. But sufficiently cheap real-time brain emulation technology takes considerably longer to develop—say 1000 years in the future. 3. 1000 years pass. Everyone that ever knew, loved or cared about you die. Here is the crucial question: Given that running a brain scan still costs money in 1000 years, why should anyone bring *you* back from the dead? Why should anyone boot *you* up? Compute doesn’t grow in trees. It might become very efficient ...
