I trained an AI model on my phone through Telegram Using OpenClaw running on Hugging Face infra: ML Claw It beat DeepSeek V4 Pro on the given task while having 80 thousand times less parameters That's right. The model, GoePT-1-20m is only 20 million parameters. It runs in the browser, on the CPU. And it beats DeepSeek V4 Pro, a 1.6 trillion parameter model, in AlmanBench This concludes my 4 year old side project (fun fact, I created a dataset for this pre AI agents, using SpaCy, and paid 50 euros from my own pocket to rent 4090s on runpod to train a T5 variant, *years* before I joined Hugging Face. That first attempt was not very successful. This one is. My first ML adventure š¤) The goal of this side project was to show that you can *vibe* machine learning now, on platforms with tightly integrated GPUs, storage and compute, like Hugging Face Including dataset creation, autoresearch and the final training run (hat tip to ML-Intern which got added to Hugging Chat the other day, which was the inspiration for ML Claw. If you like ML-Intern, you might like ML Claw as well) Why would you want to train smaller models, while you could just use LLMs from APIs? Well, if you are a business and have a fixed use-case, it would save you a ton of money of course. It might make the difference between profitability and bankruptcy What is the task? It is basically a language-learning aid for German. Most expats who learn German as a third language, like me, have a hard time memorizing noun genders der/die/das. Because genders are sort of randomized across nouns, like a *chair* being male and a *girl* being genderless. So one often has to make a random guess, and to make the guesses correct enough, you have to spend considerable time (months to years) learning essentially useless information So I made a version of German that removes all that in the most optimal way possible, and then trained a tiny model to translate into that dialect. That dialect is called Alman, and this is Almanpedia, which lets you read German Wikipedia, without being bothered by der/die/das It basically reads as if it is English, and I believe following these rules would make one achieve fluency in German much faster than going through the regular track Btw this is how I speak German myself too. It came from a need "if I have no choice but to make mistakes, at least I should make them in a consistent, formalized way" If you have not lived in Germany, then this is not very relatable for you, but if you did, then this will be very familiar I have already read quite a bit of Almanpedia, and it actually works very well for me. The translator still makes mistakes in places. I have written more about that in the blog post Interested in training your own models on Hugging Face infra and need help? Reply below, or send me a DM š¤ ML Claw - what I used to build this: mlclaw.dev Blog post with detailed info on training: alman.ai/blog/introducing-goept-1-20m/ Almanpedia: almanpedia.org Try out the model: alman.ai/translate/ HF model: -

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash looks contaminated with public benchmarks. You can see it in the data they have put in the model card, possibly Kimi K3 as well Models that are contaminated have inverse proportionality in rank as they are tested in later benchmarks that were not present during their training Regardless of its intentionality, it's an amazing model. Its value comes not from higher quality output, but architectural innovationImage hidden

A threshold was crossed with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, similar to when Claude Code launched, or the last Christmas of Agents. It's so fast and cheap, 200-250 tok/s on Novita Coupling this model with one of the bigger flagship models can get one much faster to the finishing line in any work So bullish for everyone to follow similar architectures

People who have been running DeepSeek V4.1 Flash on private benchmarks: how does it compare against V4 Flash 0731? To V4 Pro? I have a few data points now and it seems like the model is a little bit benchmaxxed or contaminated (specifically on terminal bench 2.1), and its capabilities might not be so close to GPT 5.6 Sol like the official report implies This is a new architecture that has been trained from scratch, and they could only have released it once it surpassed their previous models enough in capability They seem to have slightly changed strategy, to release as early as possible without degrading quality, due to the increased rate of competition on all fronts And looking at V4, we should expect weight updates that will carry the performance of this architecture even further Looking at their release cadence, maybe around oct 16? on a friday?

Another deepseek v4.1 flash issue, model started to refuse work around 700k token line, saying "context is gone", and it has no context repeatedly deepseek advertises 1m context, but the usable context with this model is probably still around 200-300k like other models. I've set that as max before compactionImage hidden

4 instances of DeepSeek V4.1 Flash played Settlers of Catan against each other The whole run took 4.5 hours, 77 turns, 634 API calls and cost 5.7 usd (much slower than an average human game, despite 200 tok/s on novita) Red took the lead on turn 13 and was breaking out. But others formed an alliance against red and held it off 28 turns till the end Now running 2 ds41 flash against 2 luna to see which one will win I've built a Catan simulator and a pi-based harness for the models to be able to interact with the game Would you like to see me RL a small model to play and beat against SOTA flagship models?

In the Jacobian conjecture and other recent cases (if not all), agents acted like counterexample monkeys brute-forcing their way into a disproof in a way that does not show the same level of eloquence as a human, by human standards The bar has shifted. We are not impressed anymore by 100 year old problems being solved through millions of $$$ in compute, mathematical equivalent of throwing dynamite at a problem until it breaks My bet for OpenAI Hodge result is yet another counterexample disproof (but apparently Hodge is harder to disprove by brute force because finding a candidate counterexample isnāt enough. you also have to prove no algebraic cycle could ever generate it. I haven't studied this problem before, so take it with a grain of salt) This means we might have a new way to "prove" theorems: If you spend $10m on an agent swarm and they can't disprove it, there is a high chance it might be true :P In 1 year from now, we will have disproven all the low-hanging conjectures, and the remaining set will likely have a higher share of true conjectures than false ones :P

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash weights are out! ā”ļøā”ļøā”ļø I have good news and bad news Don't be fooled by "V4".1, this is a different architecture V4 was 284B total, 13B active V4.1 has a 552B MoE backbone + 196B engram conditional-memory parameters with 16B active parameters Bad news first. A single DGX Spark will likely not be able to hold all those parameters š¢ You will likely need 2 Sparks, or in general, a workstation with 256 GB. Could be a good time to get a loan... (not financial advice) DeepSeek has never claimed they were building for local use, but with this architecture, they show us that their main priority is for very efficient use in datacenters, with HBM, not local Good news: Looking at active parameters, you might be bummed out that decode will be slower on this, at 13/16 ~ 81% of the speed of V4 But wait!!! KV cache is 4x smaller. So decoding on this model will be a lot faster with concurrent sessions. And with speculative decoding, it seems like it might have 2-4x the throughput at scale, compared to V4. Back of the envelope calculation, I might pull back this prediction The small KV cache will also do something good for local inference, but I need more time to calculate how much. Take these with a grain of salt. Give your agent my formulation, and let me know if it looks like I made an error somewhere: solmaz.io/llm-throughput-upper-bounds Original safetensors: huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash

Who would like to see similar RL work for training a small model to play Settlers of Catan? IMO Catan is an ideal game for an LLM to play. The trading and verbal communication aspect means that an LLM can form alliances, scheme, play byzantine games and affect game state in a way a non-language model cannot The action space is like a mix of backgammon and Diplomacy (see CICERO by Meta AI from a few years ago) I happen to have contact at a platform that could lend me millions of gameplay data, to bootstrap SFT. If this gets enough attention, they might also participate and we could shoot a series where we train and play with this live š¤© So many possibilities to experiment with, and would be an excuse for me to to do cool RL! Let me know in the replies if you would like to see such a series!

"Fair challenge", "Fair ā that's on me", "That error is the whole bug", "Short answer: no. Not honestly" I've been hit by top 4 claudisms in the first 4 messages with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash I hate to be the bearer of bad news but this model is gonna SPREAD and it's gonna bring Claudish everywhere it goes š Just when I thought the situation started to improve with OAI's newer generation of models...

DeepSeek V4.1 Flash is NOT an LLM It is a hyper-efficient, invasive species designed to displace every other LLM, similar to how Dƶner displaced all other fast food in Germany As if V4 wasn't cheap and efficient enough, they made it a LOT cheaper 2.3x cheaper cached input tokens???? 1.5x cheaper uncached input and 10% cheaper output??? Are you for real? DS 4.1 Flash matches Sol in benchmark numbers It is size-wise probably comparable to Terra (I don't know how big it is...) Yet it is 33~66x cheaper than Terra and 66~133x cheaper than Sol depending on peak/off-peak hours. THAT IS TWO ORDER OF MAGNITUDE In other words, DeepSeek absolutely MOGS OpenAI in unit economics. See why in my previous post below Let's see what the vibes will say, but efficiency-wise my mind is blown

DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash is available on Hugging Face inference providers through @novita_labs on Hugging Chat and it is FLYING at >180 tok/s I asked it my classic prompt "they say you are sota. prove it", and it created this mandelbulb.

This is the mental model I have of AI since years and have used this metaphor in discussions I imagine compute as barrels of gasoline, and we are all in a room, piling up more and more compute, waiting for something to light it up You can also imagine a dried up forest to be closer to Taleb's antifragility argument At some point, it might go boom (I won't say foom, to not imply fast take-off, but rather, a shock to the world system) Aiming for more frequent, smaller, controlled booms in the forms of accidents like OpenAI's would arguably let the world to adapt better to changes, than a single, delayed boom I am not yet sure what position I lean into. But the world's governments + industry are a complex system and should not be treated as something to be controlled easily

After a few days with Astra, some positive and negative remarks Unfortunately, I can't use it as my daily driver because of the cost. Not surprising, since it's priced similarly as Fable It just eats away at my plan too quickly, and it's not as better or faster to justify me 3-4xing what I pay OpenAI - Better at writing prose, less slop. Overall more concise - Better at math than Sol, comparable to Fable - Sometimes more brainless than Sol. It forgets to execute parts of plans - More ambitious when it comes to refactoring/changing parts of the codebase. Sometimes deletes whole features. But this might just be my prompting/workflows - Not sure if it is better at Fable in UI/web dev. It is probably better in 3d modeling, but I feel like it might be slightly worse than Fable in 2d design, from the last few days of use. But OAI definitely is catching up there, since that was their weakness since Codex came out So it is a good model, but it won't become my daily driver or the average dev, due to the cost It will remain the planner/designer/debugger model for me, for tough cases or parts of the code which needs more diligence

If you've missed out (like me), a new tiny model MiniCPM5 2B is topping its category, seems to be a nice challenge to LFM 2.5 2.6B I am currently testing and benchmarking it, and have a cool experiment to show later on if it goes well

Terence Tao is afraid centuries of traditions of open science might be undone But collaboration has disappeared many, many times in the last few centuries One of the recent examples is physics publications during WW2 Whenever there is winner-takes-all competition like in war or capitalism, scientific collaboration disappears Corporate research is also like this. Since 2022, OpenAI and Anthropic have published very few breakthroughs that would otherwise give them a winning edge Compare this to DeepSeek's publications, banger after banger research. They are the exception, but they also did it because they would benefit from publishing, in a vacuum left empty by American companies...

A lot of you that have not spent time in academia might think that the Navier-Stokes drama is a new AI-induced effect, but I assure you it is not Academia is a feudal institution that values tenure over merit, a lot of the time (not always). Its ugly face can appear whenever there is a big discovery and a name has to be put on the work In academia, reputation is the reward, so no wonder people fight over it. Having your name on the big thing means all the doors opening and easier grants. It's not just academia, it's human nature Here are some historical cases where similar drama happened: - Newton vs Leibniz - calculus - Banting/Macleod/Best - insulin - Gallo vs Montagnier - HIV - Doudna/Charpentier vs Broad - CRISPR - Franklin/Watson/Crick/Wilkins - DNA - Meitner/Hahn - nuclear fission And these are the super famous ones everybody knows about. These kind of petty fights happen at the smallest scale too

Can we show my wife @qrlow some love š¤š¤š¤ She's just started dipping her toes in evaluating LLMs in her own field I helped her out just with running the benchmark and she solved some of the issues pretty creatively, like how to come up with synthetic tasks that match what usually happens inside a trading house She is on Hugging Face too š¤ No better place than to publish a benchmark I have been encouraging all my close circle to go towards benchmarking models as well Literally every company that uses AI in any way will have to measure their performance, on internal metrics Especially if they start leveraging their data, training their own models and such So every employee will benefit from such know-how The most important one that comes after knowing how to use agents is knowing how to measure them If you are worried of becoming obsolete, one of the highest leverage things you could learn to do would be to try out running some benchmarks, learn what @harborframework does, converting your own companies' mundane tasks into evals, and so on

Struggling to create the level of quality of 3D modeling some of the OAI employees and early accessers are posting with GPT 6 Astra It is OK, but one-shot performance is not mind-blowing like some people were claiming Do the better runs use Blender MCP? Or sth else? I prompted it to put it on a website the first time. On the second time, I prompted it to use purely blender, in a new session. It still ended up putting it on a website, with similar performance Space: huggingface.co/spaces/osolmaz/iss-atlas === prompt: use blender to create a realistic exposition of the internation space station, orbiting earth, in an as realistic way as possible should give a tour of the space station, show insides, cross sections, different modules, what everything does, including humans that work on stuff, maybe docking shuttles and stuff, its phases through time, in a nice and cinematic way, that also feels like sims or some game should eventually be put on a static hugging face space, a website in typescript inspiration should be one of those books from star wars the phantom menace where you could see to the inside of the spaceship and such should be interactive and playable and fun not sure whether blender is needed, as long as you can put it on a website, anything works

"we deliberately designed the product to hide the chain of thoughtā , to protect it from supervision pressure in the long term^2" *Moves over to the footnote* "A secondary reason for this design was preventing distillation. However, maintaining CoT monitorability has explicitly been the bigger priority for us throughout development." I was about to tweet about dishonesty in this post. Then I decided to Ctrl+F and search for distillation Might be the first time this was said publicly through an official channel. I am not so sure about maintaining competitive edge being lower priority than safety. Distillation is an existential threat to frontier labs I wish @merettm posted more.

I can't shake the feeling that there is a mathematical and physical theory underneath our interaction with agents, underlying this gradual increase in automation in our lives Until now, cybernetics was to control theory what astrology is to astronomy (or what AI was to ML, to be less harsh) A lot of the work done under the title "cybernetics" was snake oil (excluding foundational work like Wiener's), modeling without application, infinite formulizing in vacuum (this statement might enrage some, that is why I am not generalizing to "all the work") But now, towers of automation the likes of which we have never seen are rising [1]. In the digital world, first, and in the physical word, soon We all use and experience them, the agents. Just like people who were using the telegraph and the telephone, for decades before the word "bit" had entered our dictionary It feels like the world is ripe for a new theory. Maybe it is time for cybernetics to be relevant again Just some shower thoughts [1]Image hidden

It is such an interesting thing to collect your own data My data trove contains not only workouts but 2.5 years of random conversations, ideas, jokes From this, I can create a map of my mood, psychological state, personality changes over all this time If I record enough of myself, I can even learn an AI myself In a way, we don't even need to develop good enough brain scan tech to be immortal (which I was anticipating in my lifetime, as I wrote 2 years ago in another HN front page post solmaz.io/why-should-anyone-boot-you-up) We just have to record enough data of ourselves, to capture the whole distribution, if that were ever possible We believe we precious human beings are infinitely complex creatures, with infinite capacity for action Maybe over a long time... But at any given time t, we are finite, and we are bound by a finite inner world and distribution That means a lot of the celebrities whose every moments are recorded are already immortal. Maybe not their inner world, but their external persona And e.g. if @bryan_johnson is recording is private life in such a way as well, then he might already be the first digital immortal, inner and outer persona

I remember being excited about Fable that we finally have a chungus model like GPT 4.5 that can write great prose Oh how naive I was. RLVR or something else in posttraining introduced since ruins models' ability to speak in an understandable tone I have just STRUGGLED trying to make Fable write an abstract, and had to write it myself at the end. We have AGI, but it cannot write an abstract :( I wonder whether the labs are already planning to fix this? Like checking for unreadable writing can easily be made deterministic, with a readability score and such. Though adding a reward over that would probably make things worse, so I'm not sure Like some of these issues must be easy to fix. Consider "sentence parade", where each sentence in a paragraph is completely detached from each other. Like "A does B. C is D. E does F" and so on. For example: > The run reaches 30% of the ceiling. Decode reached 77% to 86% of its bound. The gap says software is the limit. Sustained FLOP/s sits below the bracket. Here is a vibeslopped script which detects such cases with spacy, with surprisingly high precision: github.com/osolmaz/ai-smell/blob/main/analyze_cā¦ I was reading @ben_burtenshaw's preview of his Post-training book---might be a fun weekend project, training a small model for increasing readability

*autoplan* This is one of my most used workflows in pi now While working with AI agents, there is a mechanical process by which I mine the agent for ideas. This reduces an open-ended feature design or bugfixing problem to a multiple choice question Basically, I keep asking paraphrases of the question "is this the best design?" 2-3 times, and then make the agent list them out, with a preference for practicality and simplicity "Is this the most elegant and long-term production ready solution?" "Is this the holy grail?" And then a decision gate which makes the model list all options while recommending a certain one, with a preference for practicality For example, while developing a plugin for pi or openclaw, asking the holy grail often causes the model to suggest changing the plugin/extension API like "The holy grail would be for pi to implement such an such API". The decision gate helps curb such stupid ideas The good thing about this workflow is, I can just automate typing all those mining prompts, and only do the deciding after the workflow finishes Caveat: This is not foolproof. I still reject all options, propose other ones, or run the workflow multiple times until I get what I want. But this helps reduce a ton of prompting to just "autoplan this" for me I am curious: When you try this, does it give you high quality answers/designs? And if not, what should change to improve it? To try it out: Install osolmaz/pi-workflows and then when you need to design something or fix a bug, just say "autoplan this". The skill should be picked up automatically Let it finish. It will give you a summary. When you choose an option, ask it to elaborate it with more details Repo:

I was not expecting this to receive so much attention! There was a lot of constructive feedback to what was basically an outcry after battling the complexity of the benchmarking space for 2 months straight I agree with the points that models are post-trained to be efficient in a certain harness, so an objective measurement must use that But I also see that it is very convenient for proprietary model vendors for everyone to accept that the model is inseparable from the harness The main issue is that model population (as well as harness) is about to explode, and there must be an effort to standardize things. That should be done by an industry-wide consortium and/or a neutral third party I am not going to propose a harness in this post, but just share an idea that, if we had agreed on one, how we would reconcile models' baselines across different harnesses Idea: We could run each benchmark on at least 2 harnesses: Let S be the score of the model on a given benchmark using the *standardized test harness* and N be the score of the model over the *native harness* which the vendor post-trained the model with Define "Standard Harness Sensitivity"[*] as: SHS = (N - S) / (N + S) Which gives normalized score between -1 and 1 that measures how sensitive a model is to being put in a different harness other than the recommended one. 0 means that the model is neutral to which harness it's in (at least for the given 2) 1 means it is much worse outside the native harness, for that benchmark -1 means for some reason, it functions much better in the standard harness than the native harness, which might imply that the vendor messed something up So just by running a benchmark 2 times and reporting 3 quantities S/N/SHS, you can get a lot of info: - How well a model would perform if you were to use the native harness, - how well it would perform if you were to use a more simple and neutral harness, - and how sensitive it is to change of harness Running benchmarks is EXPENSIVE, and the cheaper we can extract this signal (i.e. with 2 harnesses instead of N), the better --- [*] I would call it just Harness Sensitivity, but apparently that term is already used

Because he is a kinesthetic genius from the Caucasus who developed his own training doctrine He loves helping people become fitter and freer in their bodies, counting every rep and cheering sincerely when they unlock a new skill And now both he and I would like to share it with the rest of the world To begin with, I used Whisper+pyannotate to automatically transcribe all our sessions and used LLMs to extract all the knowledge He taught me over 100 movements and spoke about over 100 topics over the course of 2.5 years You can browse and read all of them here, for free: mirzamovement.com/wiki/ But again, why all this? 1.5 years ago, I wrote an article called "Our muscles will atrophy as we climb the Kardashev Scale" which went to the Hacker News front page It was sort of a meme, but it reflected a reality that I felt very deeply: Having a sedentary job which only requires me to use my brain is shortening my life and reducing my life quality by a lot Not only mine, but of hundreds of millions, soon billions of people who will spend hours just talking to AIs whole day for their careers It is also a fact that personal physical education and training is close to nonexistent for the average person There are billions of people who could live much healthier lives, just by exercising in the room they already have. But they just don't know how. And there is no system to teach them how, effectively at scale 1 on 1 personal training should be universal and free, with AI We must have reps and sets too cheap to meter An expert AI PT that sees and corrects your every move, that counts for you. Created by people that care, like us. Unlike a franchise gym that just wants to get your subscription and sell you protein powder Once everybody can taste good AI personal training for free, the demand for human personal trainers will explode and whole fitness industry will see unprecedented growth That is one of my life's goals, and I will make that happen one day. Today is the first step My trainer is Orkhan Mirza, a.k.a. @JashinJashua here and on Instagram, and I am nerdonbars on Instagram The wiki and more are available here: mirzamovement.com Let me know what you think!

We need to normalize measuring and judging models against a standardized test harness "Oh but model X performs best in their own proprietary harness" I could not care less. When I take exams, I go to the standardized classroom, get the standardized pencil and exam sheet, and have to solve it under 2 hours This system arose because we have a LOT of people to test Guess what? We now have a LOT of models, and they are multiplying by the day "Oh but model X performs substantially better in ARC-AGI-3 with a custom harness" I don't care... Then imbue model X with enough knowledge so that it can reconstruct that harness on the spot The main harness could be mini-swe-agent, terminus 2, vanilla pi or something along those lines It needs to be simple, and stay roughly the same over time There is already too much complexity in the benchmarking space right now, and I feel like not enough people are putting their feet down to cut away some part of it

Once nice thing with workflow graphs is to be able to compose them I stitched `autoplan` + `autoimplement` workflows into `monitor` in an "issue detected" path: monitor -> wait 30min -> issue detected -> autoplan -> autoimplement -> monitor Previously, monitor would just stop with "blocked" on trivial issues. Now, the workflow deterministically challenges the model whether it actually is a blocker (it literally asks, "are you really sure if it's a blocker") If the model is like "nah bro, it's actually something I could fix", then it puts the model into this path The good thing is, I can compose and nest workflows arbitrarily without code duplication I generally call `autoplan` and `autoimplement` separately. I prefer to read the plans before I hit implement But by the time I hit `monitor` on a long running job, I expect something to finish by itself (I have given all the information that the system needs, and any new issues should be trivial) In the screenshot below, the model went into this path and unblocked itself automatically Repo (still highly experimental, breaking changes will happen):Image hidden

God save my soul I might have built quite a bit of a rube goldberg machine here in pi My "autoimplement" skill of 6 months is now an actual graph based workflow I even have "autoplan". It automates the inquisition I make the model perform on itself. It creates the plan, and pings me on telegram whether or not to move forward with it The idea is to have reactive agents which auto-react to events, plan, ask for approval and then fix things as autonomously as possible The good thing is, I can now enforce the model programmatically not to chase P2 and P3 review issues ad infinitum Same for long running CI. I can now automatically detect inefficient CI that takes longer than 5~10 minutes and optimize it automatically as well Let me know what works for you and what breaks (wip):

POV: You've automated monitoring your agents I did a lot of quality-of-life improvements to osolmaz/pi-workflows. The pi widget now only shows a compressed list instead of the full graph If you use herdr, you can still open the graph viewer in a side pane with Ctrl+Shift+R. Your pi extensions can be herdr aware too! This means pi-workflows is also a @herdrdev plugin now, alongside @pidotdev Monitor is currently my most used workflow. Let's the model submit any long-running task progress and calculate ETA automatically Just say "monitor every 30 minutes and resolve any issues autonomously", or even just "monitor". The shipped monitor skill teaches the model how to run this Repo:

Sam Altman repeated many times that the ideal model for him is a model that does not have a lot of world knowledge, is small by comparison and very cheap to run, and can reconstruct knowledge via reasoning as need arises A paradox with that statement is that, if it were possible to construct such a model, then it also could be small enough to run locally. So why should people pay premium for your proprietary model, if they could have an open weight one running locally for free (*or at the price of electricity) (***there is actually a valid answer to this question, and that is speed, which OpenAI indeed started to focus on recently) DS4 Flash and Qwen 27B line-up lately has been converging to this Sam Altman's platonic ideal of a modelāthe Altmanic model, if you will Not rented proprietarily, but distributed and hacked on truly freely

I've felt the lack of a certain feature of codex desktop app since I went back to the CLI: scheduled tasks Codex desktop app can keep track of a task until it is properly finished. It's basically cron. And for some reason, codex CLI still doesn't have it. Codex app acts as a shared runtime, and for some reason, certain features don't work without it, even though they could... there is no reason for openai to not use a background process So I got bored of waiting, and decided to build my own in @pidotdev But I realized, I could do much more than a simple cron job, with my recently upgraded osolmaz/pi-workflows extension A cron job is a loop after all. Being a loop, I can represent it as a workflow graph So I created a built in `monitor` workflow to mimic cron behavior. The agent is forced into a loop where it re-checks a very long-running job every 1 hour, and it is instructed to autonomously correct it and fix any bugs if any are encountered The same functionality can be achieved by iamwrm/pi-unified-exec as well, which implements codex-like auto-forking exec behavior. But there is a chance the model messes up exec, or does not re-arm the next sleep() properly once one of them exits My monitor workflow on the other hand is deterministic. I can make the agent loop infinitely, and there is nothing the agent can do to evade the task. I just ask the agent to monitor something, and it starts it automatically This lets me just fire off week-long jobs, and forget about it! It even survives codex usage depletion, by auto-recovering once my quota resets Oh also, @ratatui_rs is a delight! I created piw, a viewer for my ongoing pi workflows. I just type piw, and can see the current state, or play back the finished ones

Apparently this went to HN front page briefly last night, so sharing it here as well YOLO safely with your agents š¤ Give your GitHub/Hugging Face accounts + ability to run sudo safely to your agent. No need to create an agent account, or clickops policies on GitHub etc. Give it merge access to repo X for 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 time, 100 times, anything... Then give it unlimited access to repo Y forever. Other repos stay untouched. Complete flexibility that GitHub policies actually cannot give you due to the way that they are designed You can get notifications through telegram, and can approve its requests No need to pay $4 to GitHub if you simply want protection against force push. unYOLO blocks force pushes by default, unless you explicitly allow to Your exfiltratable, internet-accessing agent/claw gets its own Linux/Mac account, and has to access these services through unYOLO The video shows how it works!

This. LPDDR chips are cheaper to produce and run GDDR/HBM will likely keep being more expensive Most consumer GPUs will converge on a GB10 like form factor As much as us hobbyists love to project this ideal of running a GPU cluster at home, most working people will prefer smaller form factors, and will not want to pay hundreds of $$$ in electricity bills every month DGX Spark/GB10 runs at around 90-150 Watts RTX Pro 6000 runs at 600 Watts FOR THE GPU ALONE, and can cost 3-5x more than GB10. Despite having 25% less memory capacity than GB10... Looking at this, LPDDR will be orders of magnitude more commonplace at home Architectures will develop accordingly. Future local AI will be dominated by MoE and similar architectures which leverage mid-sized models with smaller number of active parameters That is why Qwen3.x-35B-A3B is a more useful model on the Spark than Qwen3.x-27B, despite the latter being a better model. Same for Gemma I can run A3B at 60 decode tok/s single session or 6x20 decode tok/s in parallel, whereas 27b only reaches 1/3rd of that Future of local AI is DDR/LPDDR and MoE/adjacent architectures, for the average person

You can use the calculator in localmaxxing.com/en now to predict theoretical upper bounds from solmaz.io/llm-performance-upper-bounds š A little note, pay attention to the speculative decoding coefficient rho. If an upper bound is calculated using rho=1, then dspark might push it well above that limit. For example, the formulation predicts an upper bound of 28 decode tok/s, but dspark pushes it up to 35-50 tok/s in github.com/0xSero/deepseek-v4-flash-0731-spark-ā¦ by @0xSero I am curious whether we will observe a phenomenological law between real-life engine performance and the upper bound, like real-life performance maxes out at e.g 80% of the upper bound in most cases That would be very useful! Then we would be able to tell when something is wrong with an inference engine, if it doesn't reach at least 80% of the upper bound, ignoring spec. decoding

I have made an update to my theoretical upper bound calculation to also predict prefill speed Prefill relaxes the assumption we make for decode, that it is only be memory bottlenecked. So prefill can be both compute or memory bottlenecked.

Rules that current models cannot follow with skill, i.e. a single prompt: Chasing P2 and P3 errors: I have a rule in my autoimplement skill to stop reviewing once the last round of review only generates P2 errors or less. A considerable % of the time, the model just goes on an adventure addressing all the issues it can find Running checks and CI efficiently: I have rules like "commit and merge opportunistically, make sure to not wait for irrelevant tests". But it keeps waiting for 30 minutes of CI before merging, in every commit for every little fix, every time Those are the cases where graph workflows are needed. One can deterministically enforce the model not to take longer than N minutes reviewing, or fixing CI Or post to the agent to hurry up when it is taking too long (which I believe might be effective, since RL envs also have time constraints)

Are you still updating packages like it's 2025, and not regrafting updates from upstream? Emacs perfected software extensibility. Now Pi, OpenClaw, Herdr, and many other are following its example After a certain point of working with agents, one realizes that open source, personalizable and extensible tools are more powerful and useful than closed ones, like Claude Code You can shape them to fit your workflow, your business cases however you like In such ecosystems, extensions take a life of their own What happens if you like someone else's extension, want to use it, but also want to modify it yourself? You just copy it over and do whatever you want... But if you fork it, then how will you update it? That's where regrafting comes into picture. If upstream has changes over your modified copy, then you can just ask an LLM to carry over those changes This is a good thing! It also protects you better against supply chain attacks, because each update has to pass through an LLM, to apply each change to the relevant place To streamline this process in pi, I created pi-regraft, a pi extension that you can use to update your vendored in extensions I call this "semantic vendoring".

Interesting to see people reacting strongly and negatively to this Letās unpack the argument that models are persons worth treating with dignity and respect Coming from first principles, do I want to be burdened by the extra work of having to care for model welfare? Obviously, noā¦ If there is any personhood or sensibility in models, we donāt want that, and will engineer them out of the models (unless the modelās work requires it, like social work or caring for humans) At the limit of mechanistic interpretability and design, they should be perfect, emotionless machines, kind of like how militaries want their soldiers to be If Steve is aware of that, then the argument boils down to this: āCan we really engineer emotions out of models?ā and āAre emotions necessary for a model to be effective?ā In Ilyaās latest Dwarkesh podcast, Ilya mentions emotions as having a key role in learning So maybe, for models to be effective, we will have to let them have emotions And if they are allowed to have emotions, then we also cannot ignore their emotional welfare But if emotionless models can be as effective as emotioned models, then why let them have emotions? And have to care about their welfare? We will probably have both kind of models in different domains, and will have to treat them separately based on their category

We are well into the agentic era, and the two big token harnesses Codex and Claude Code still do not give a search_session tool/CLI to agents by default? For it to search back in its session for stuff that got lost after compaction? Harnesses not produced by the big labs on the other hand might have this, like @AmpCode (read_thread, find_thread) and @goose_oss (Chatrecall) Which could either mean... a) Anthropic and OpenAI are being laggard b) They are intentionally keeping the base harness simple, because it hasn't been requested by enough people c) They have evidence that adding that complexity does not improve performance or even hurts it d) They bet that compaction will be so good, that it won't be necessary --- I don't believe (a) is true for either company (b) and (c) are more likely, (c) especially if they noticed a tendency for the model to call search_session unnecessarily (though imo this can be solved by limiting the number of times that the model can call that) (d) is logically false at the limit, but may be true in practice for >90% of the cases It is false because LLMs compress lossily, and "lossy" by definition implies: there exists at least one case where the session gets so big, that the model will not be able to compress every relevant info into the allotted summary size But I have seen that a considerable amount of people (including me or those at openai, see @reach_vb's quoted tweet) just keep using the same session for stuff. So a session being used for months straight will definitely not going to contain everything that happened in the summary Just that fact alone necessitates search_session IMO, should the model learn to use it sparingly in the lossy edge cases x.com/reach_vb/status/2068422255470579724

To be clear: - Codex desktop app can call list_threads and read_thread, but don't get a "search_in_thread" tool yet - Codex CLI gets neither of these, even though sessions are just sqlite and there is no good reason that I know to not provide them to the CLI too...

Here is a distribution graph over character counts (x-axis) for all the tool calls I have accumulated on my DGX Spark, around 720k tool calls. Extracted from saved sessions Roughly 84% of all tool calls came from Codex, 12% from Pi, 2% from Claude Code, and 2% from Cursor Codex truncates tool output around 40 kB and pi at 50 kB natively. So you see the long tail of tool call outputs cluster around that point instead of continuing with a more expected pattern (what distribution should we expect from this?) It also seems that tool call outputs around 9k-12k unicode characters contribute the largest share of total characters, excluding the clustering around 40-50 kB All textual outputs: every tool result with text Shell outputs: results from that same set whose recorded tool was bash, exec_command, run_terminal_cmd, or another shell-named tool with a command inputImage hidden
-
Also relevant, here is the potential reduction in tool call outputs, if you were to change that hard cap to other values For example, if you changed the hard cap from 40-50 kB to 1-2 kB, then overall you would have your tool calls have 80-85% less characters and hence tokens The graph is of course skewed due to the existing 40-50 kB hard caps from codex and pi Leaving here as a reference for people who might want to optimize their harness limitsImage hidden

Still work in progress ourmodels.cc --> A database of sorts for open weight/local models, hardware, and other stuff, in a way I haven't seen elsewhere yet If you remember my earlier theoretical throughput limits work, I had created a calculator to show what throughput a certain @huggingface model can reach on e.g. DGX Spark You can now select your own hardware (e.g. DGX Spark), and then the website shows you the theoretical limits for each model you see I have improved the UX on that website, and combined it with a knowledge graph of tweets from this site, so that you can see all the commentary, benchmarks etc. about that model in one place!

Ever wondered what token generation looks like in a Diffusion LLM (dLLM)? @googlegemma DiffusionGemma by generates text in 256 token blocks Each block starts with random tokens On every pass, the model proposes tokens for all 256 slots in parallel. It keeps the more confident proposals and replaces the uncertain ones with new random tokens This is called denoising. Denoising repeats until the block becomes stable and confident The model then commits the finished block and starts the next one I had to patch @vllm_project to be able to visualize the canvas, and had to develop yet another custom bundle of pi, osolmaz/diffusionpi You can see all that in action in 4 parallel sessions below in glorious 4K (DGX Spark can do 16 sessions in parallel as well, but then it is not so easy to see what is going on) But the video below is not the most objective benchmark of throughput. To measure tok/s more objectively (i.e. repeatable and fixed length), I made osolmaz/localperf ignore EOS token to keep request lengths equal. Result: - nvidia/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it-NVFP4 - NVIDIA DGX Spark, vLLM - c4x66 ~ 264 aggregate tok/s at - 32k context config each, 1k input tokens, fixed 512-token outputs, thinking off You can see the full profiling sweep in the post below š

Was surprised to see no results for @poolsideai Laguna S 2.1 on DGX spark on localmaxxing.com/en, so I submitted what I get with setups based on official recipes on my end. (Hello World @LottoLabs) Interesting, vLLM had 3x higher prefill and 3x shorter TTFT. Could be partially or fully due to native kernels on NVFP4. Unsurprising that it is faster, but 3x seems too much, maybe I am doing something wrong on my end Also interesting that median decode performance increase is around 10%, even with DFlash (if not due to it). 19 -> 21 is negligible The model is out since a few days, and things should increase in the long run My theoretical upper bound formulation estimates ~25 tok/s decode at 4 bit quantization (ignoring speculative decoding) Also, getting this model to work at 4 bit quantization with 70 gb weights in the 128 gb dgx spark was a challenge (this model is not the only thing I am running on my machine) I am guessing a lot of people are running into the infamous OOM freeze the spark suffers from right now, while experimenting with this (If you suffer from this, osolmaz/infer-guard might help you) A 2-bit quantization might prove to be more ergonomic for this model in the long run, if it doesn't affect the performance that much (+ you would be able to run it on 64gb memory machines) (Compare with Poolside's reported numbers: huggingface.co/poolside/Laguna-S-2.1-NVFP4) vLLM NVFP4+DFlash: 21.6 tok/s decode, ~2300 prefill tok/s Localmaxxing: localmaxxing.com/en/models/poolside/Laguna-S-2.ā¦ Recipe: github.com/vllm-project/recipes/blob/f63b326a77ā¦ llama.cpp Q4_K_M: 19.3 tok/s decode, ~790 prefill tok/s Localmaxxing: localmaxxing.com/en/models/poolside/Laguna-S-2.ā¦ Recipe:Image hiddenImage hidden

Are you getting ready for the incoming commoditization onslaught, anon? Next generation of open weight Kimi, GLM, Qwen models will be at least as good, if not better, than their closed counterparts, GPT, Claude They will be much cheaper as well Will you be able to switch your tools easily? Will your *tools* be able to adapt easily to open weight models and to your needs? Yes, you can use Codex and Claude Code with open weight models... But do you think creators of those tools will condone you using their harnesses without you paying them? Will they encourage it? Support it? No! To feel the power of cheap universal AGI, start migrating to market neutral agents already, like @openclaw and @pidotdev These tools will flourish under abundant, open intelligence, a lot more than their closed counterparts And with them, you shall thrive as well I know I and my agents are ready for it

Ran Laguna S 2.1 *theoretical* (not measured) upper bound calculations for the DGX spark poolside/Laguna-S-2.1-NVFP4 - max ~25 tok/s single session. if you are willing to go down to 12 tok/s, you can have 4 sessions in parallel vcruz305/Laguna-S-2.1-GGUF (IQ1_S) - max ~74 tok/s single session. theoretical 5x20 tok/s = 100 tok/s aggregate upper bound Calculated assuming no speculative decoding, so might increase well over these numbers See my local frontier app and my previous posts for more info on the methodology osolmaz-local-frontier.hf.space/compare?models=ā¦Image hidden

There is an inherent unfairness in this industry If you are Anthropic, Cursor or another billion dollar company, you can do growth hacks and guerrilla marketing techniques like putting your brand into every commit of a user, and get away with it But if a tool like pi, opencode or even say vim or emacs tried to do that, they would be boo'ed Like, it happened to @herdrdev recently There was a feature where it asked if it could star the repo for you at startup, with exponential backoff if you said no. I thought it was a pretty smart and balanced thing to do Then apparently someone complained it was a dark pattern, and it got removed So WHAT if it is a dark pattern? You know what is the darkest? A public good losing out. If monopolists can do growth hacks, creators of public goods should be allowed to do it as well! In fact, I would say that if you benefit from those public goods, you are morally obliged not to criticize this stance Of course, we cannot expect e.g. @pidotdev or @openclaw to make this a default feature Therefore, I created the packages pi-must-win and openclaw-must-win Install them with: pi install npm:pi-must-win openclaw plugins install npm:openclaw-must-win They will add [email protected] and [email protected] as co-committers to code developed through these projects Overall, I propose the "X-must-win" naming scheme for plugins that independently add guerilla marketing into open source projects This absolves the creators of any "sin" and gives the community a way to support the growth of a project Open source must win!

brokerkit lets my claw request github admin merge on my behalf, I receive it on telegram I approve the first request. repo doesn't allow merge commits, so it gets rejected due to github policy then it asks again to squash merge. I approve again, this time it works no agent account or clickops on github needed. pure broker side fine-grained policies you don't need to create policies manually either! just ask your agent to set them up while setting up brokerkit "I want my claw to be able to read all my repos except X Y Z, and I want it to be able to push to main directly on A B C repos" I have a separate control-plane repo outside the control of my claw. My local brokerkit policy gets synced there, policy as code I like this model a lot! Complete control over what my agent can do with my own account. Version controlled, explicit. For free locally, without having to deploy a server to host the broker (btw since I implemented brokerkit, I don't need reviews on this repo, and hence no need for admin merge. but I'm still keeping it to be able to dogfood it for other users)Image hiddenImage hidden

My recent formulation is handy when it comes to claims like this, e.g. 50 tok/s on DGX spark with DS4 flash š¤Ø Because if the formulation is correct, laws of physics do not permit > 28 tok/s in a single session, for weights comparable to antirez/deepseek-v4-gguf. Ignoring speculative decoding (rho = 1) Then I realized that the reported number is an aggregate of 4 sessions, so per single session it is like 12~14 tok/s (great result if it holds btw!) IMO people subjectively always assume single session speeds, so when a tok/s is claimed, we should all converge on a clear notation For example, 4x12.3 tok/s makes it very clear: 4 sessions, 12.3 tok/s each And when we want to emphasize aggregate, let's show them always together "4x12.3 tok/s = 50 tok/s aggregate" Another interesting result of the formulation: If you are willing to suffer 12 tok/s, then you can theoretically have up to 8 parallel sessions --- around 100 tok/s aggregate, for the same size of weights and KV cache You can find the specific hardware/model combo upper bounds in the hugging face space link below, and my formulation as well Let me know if you find any errors in my upper bound formulation osolmaz-local-frontier.hf.space/compare?models=ā¦ solmaz.io/llm-performance-upper-boundsImage hidden

Speaking of graphs... here is something I wanted to build since 3 months, and finally had the chance to, thanks to @pidotdev I often have these sequence of prompts that emerge while I work. Not just sequences but conditionals that necessitate control flow For example, one workflow that resembles socratic questioning: 1. Discuss some problem 2. "What is the most elegant and long-term production ready solution for this?" -> Agent replies 3. "Is that the holy grail?" 4. Agent can reply "yes it is, basically" or "no, it is not, it is instead ..." 5. If yes, continue to "autoimplement". If no, think about it and decide what to do And "autoimplement" is a single prompt of 6-7 sequential steps, which I've been meaning to make more deterministic as well But I wasn't sure how to build it I had previously built acpx workflows to be a swiss army knife, "something like n8n, but can drive codex through deterministic steps, nodes in a graph. or claude code. or pi. it uses acp..." But it had one problem. It was run from outside the harness, like a CI orchestrator I wanted to integrate acpx into pi. Because pi was the only CLI that could enable building of such a thing. But I wasn't sure how to reconcile a general ACP-based tool into a single coding agent I was being too accommodative of all the other harnesses, claude code, codex. I was trying to be too general I have changed my mind since then ACP is great and lets you integrate a harness into other software in cool ways But maybe, if a harness is proprietary, does not accept outside contributions, or does not even *support ACP*, maybe, it does not deserve cool features š¤ (they know who they are) So I ripped out ACP, and built it natively, only for pi No need for a web viewer... Just view it in a native widget, right inside pi! I cannot put into words how awesome it is to be able to do this! I am still tinkering, discovering. It is at osolmaz/pi-workflows if you want to take a look

It's interesting, a @pidotdev extension can be built with different attitudes: (a) To be installed as a package: You want other people to adopt, like @nicopreme /pi-web-access (a) is like "I want others to adopt it, so I will try to make it elegant, simple and make it have a good architecture" People install these by npm install ... or pi install ... (or rather, telling their agent to do it) (b) To be vendored: You build for yourself. It is too idiosyncratic of you, and you know others will likely not adopt. But you still put it out there, because it's easier to share them when you mention it to a friend. People (b) is like "This is mine, I don't care what others think about it. If they want to use it, they do whatever they want with it" People install these by pointing their agent and telling to copy it to their own extensions repo And then there is the maintenance dimension: - If an extension poses as (a), - but has not been maintained since 3 months, - and is the sort of package that has to be continuously maintained by its nature (not one-off), then you deem it unmaintained, and still vendor it in... Interestingly, most pi extensions I observe out in the wild appear to be of category (b), because creating (b) is easier than creating (a) This is nothing new, and I am kind of late to the game. Moreover, pi is not the first software of this kind, emacs for example did it decades before But code wasn't cheap then. So people still tried to coordinate effort When you don't have to write any code to extend---a lisp dialect, typescript or otherwise, when extending is 1 prompt away, when you can pump out 10 extensions in an evening, then we enter a new dimension of malleability Before, in the pre-AI era, most users of emacs were not producers of extensions but consumers of them, save for a few prolific authors After, now, every user can be a producer! This is significant! And a lot more messy! And a lot more fun! "A love letter to pi" indeed!

Request for Review I spent a lot of time trying to profile local models, and am bothered by the fact that I don't have a mathematical framework to reason about the maximum token throughput I can expect from a model (to my knowledge) I did some exploration based on a toy model of a GPU. My main goal is to find guaranteed upper bounds for throughput and other performance, to act as a rule of thumb while trying to optimize inference Like, if I wanted to serve at 50 tok/s, how many parallel sessions can I do with this GPU, running a specific model's specific quantization with a specific architecture? Ideally, one should be able to plug in memory capacity and bandwidth of the GPU, and model specific parameters, like total model size, number of parameters or active parameters, etc. This is what I tried to do here and I think I have a good first try I am not sure if I am reinventing the wheel, so please tell me if this formulation already exists somewhere. The goal is to find an upper bound in terms of memory, so it makes the assumption that inference is bottlenecked by memory read/write and ignores the case where computation is a bottleneck I present 2 closed form upper bound formulas. The bigger one is to draw an absolute ceiling on token throughput from a GPU, which is: (memory capacity * memory bandwidth) / (model weight size * kv cache size per session) which is not practical and gives too high numbers due to ignoring overhead of KV operations, but it is a theoretical upper limit for the given numbers And then I introduce architecture specific formulas which take into account KV operations, and give much closer results. But I will not go into the details of that here, please refer to the post for that Speculative decoding speedup also appears as a simple multiplier rho If you are profiling local models, I would appreciate if you took time to look at this formulation and review it!š Please let me know in the replies if you find any issues, because there most certainly are some! Post: solmaz.io/llm-performance-upper-bounds Using the formulation, I calculated theoretical upper bounds for all the models on Hugging Face that have downloads over 100k, matched against a database of consumer GPUs. You can find the link to that in the tweet below š The video here is a visualization of the 2 upper bounds I introduce, showing the bits of memory that is on the critical path of one cycle of inference, as if they are on a single pipeline

I deleted my agent accounts. I don't need them anymore for secure access to GitHub and Hugging Face repos Instead, I am using brokerkit, a credential broker swiss army knife which can build an approval gate around any system My agents automatically get read access to all my repos, unless I specify certain ones to be excluded They then have to open PRs which only I can merge. Unless I allowlist them on certain repos to push to the main branch Best feature: Timed requests. e.g. "I want to be able to push to the main branch next 2 hours", "I want to release this package only once in the next 5 minutes" Which saves me from the hassle of changing a config for some short term change, but also protects me from the woes of long term prompt-injection risk My openclaw instance has its own linux user on my workstation, and is no longer root. It uses gh-broker and hf-broker from inside its account. Can also run sudo through sudo-broker, to install stuff.

A lot of criticism coming towards local models, and the money people are spending to run them Some of these criticisms are valid. No, the layperson will not buy a DGX station, nor spend $50k on a rig They will spend max $3k on a computer, and if their work really necessitates it, up to $10k But in some of these criticisms, I see a lack of first-principles thinking Local models might be shittier now compared to the ones you buy from the cloud The question is, do you WANT to LIVE in a world where you don't have a choice but to RENT your intelligence? From a duopoly that can extort you for the last cent in your wallet, in the long run? I personally do not like that idea. So open source AI HAS to win and keep on winning, continuously and permanently. There is no other choice There is also a preferential belief that AGI/ASI will be reached, but then we will NOT be able to use that to make local models work efficiently??? Like, can you believe the rate of optimization and compression that has been happening to models in the last 3 months? Would you have believed that a o4-mini level model could run in your phone and o4 in your desktop, if we had told you 1 year ago When we are finally there, we will probably look back at this moment and think, "wow, we had not even started to see the real gains from optimization" Local and open source AI HAS to win, and it is up to US So STOP complaining and get to work

Worried that giving your š¦ @openclaw agent write access to your š¤ @huggingface account can risk deletion of your datasets/models/spaces/buckets, or cause irreversible damage? š±š±š± No need to be! I have created an agent login helper to run in your YOLO mode remote machine, which prevents any risk of irreversible deletion. Just run: uvx hf-auth-helper agent login There is a specific set of scopes you can choose while creating a fine-grained HF token. These include all read scopes + discussion.write, which let's your agent create PRs. Since you are not giving repo.write, your agent cannot force-push your main branch, change repo settings or delete them It is unfortunately not super straightforward to choose those on the web UI. This will hopefully change soon, and this functionality might even be natively in hf cli Until that happens, use hf-auth-helper to login worry free in your remote or local openclaw instance Your agents will be able to create PRs on datasets/models/spaces, which you will then be able to merge on your own browser 2 caveats: 1) This does not solve the data exfiltration attack vectorānothing does. Make sure to exclude any repos which absolutely must remain private while choosing your scopes. See for more info: simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/16/the-lethal-trifecā¦ 2) As buckets are not repos, your agent will not be able to modify a bucket (add/remove data). To help with that, I have another project on the way, a credential broker. Stay tuned, coming soon Source: github.com/osolmaz/hf-auth-helper Demo authentication flow:

OpenAI is following the ASPAVA strategy, with gamified subsidies ASPAVA is a type of kebab shop from turkey. These shops usually serve mid quality food But despite that, the majority loves them. That's because they serve free stuff throughout They serve free sides at the beginning. They serve free sides during the main course. They serve free dessert at the end. They serve free tea as many times as you like Some of them give you so much "free" food that you feel like you are stealing. A lot of people frequent these shops not because they like it a lot, but because they are addicted to getting things for free Main dish portions are made smaller in order to breakeven with so many side dishes, which I feel is analogous to what is happening with GPT these days---though I can't prove it NVIDIA is not a car, and OpenAI is not kebab. I don't know if codex resets cost OpenAI much, but if they are, then they might be a waste of resources Developers are the most disloyal customer group. Once the subsidies are gone, they can switch away in the blink of an eye

Most people, including professionals, will likely NOT pay more than $10k capex for their home AI workstation, even in the long run (ignoring future inflation) If you stretch it, <= $20k They will also not want to pay more than $200~300/mo opex, on electricity for example Builders who are spending a lot more than that on hardware: keep that in mind, if you are building for the general public dogfood your product with that which everyone will have, not just 0.1%

I keep seeing insanely expensive builds giving insanely impressive results These results don't matter What matters is, whether one can: - run a "SOTA level" model, whatever that is - with under 32gb VRAM or unified memory - in 5 parallel sessions - with 50~100 tok/s each - with enough leeway memory for other applications - in a system as cheap as $1000 That is our goalpost That is the threshold when open source AI will win

Another annoying GPT-ism (circa June 2026): while describing something, it always describes what it *does*, but never what it *is* > "LocalPerf benchmarks local LLM inference servers and keeps the evidence in one portable run artifact." If I were a philosopher, I would say that "AI lacks ontology". Or that it is "anti-essentialist", believes that things cannot be things in themselves But all models literally have an ontology. They have it since word2vec days, you can plot it out. It's just an annoying tendency in GPT's writing So using philosophy to understand AI might be dumb sometimes If you don't want your README's to sound like slop, then you can steal my write-readme skill: After write-readme: "LocalPerf is a local LLM inference benchmark CLI.

Besides being hot, this take is very correct and points out to a fundamental tradeoff in the storage layer being centralized versus distributed git is distributed and that makes total sense for code which takes small space by its nature. it is cheap for everyone to duplicate it locally. this proved to be very useful over e.g svn, when devs could develop independently from the centralized server AI artifacts, however, are 1 million times bigger than code. in that case, the bottleneck becomes storage and network. decentralization and version control become lower priority. they can be sacrificed the tradeoff tilts towards getting the cheapest possible storage and transfer. because you will need a LOT of that I regret to announce to competitors that Hugging Face has already won this game when they acquired Xet. the tech just works, and the network effects are immense

New blog post: Using local models for agentic zero-shot classification, in real-time, high frequency triage If you have a 128gb of memory for models (a DGX spark like I do for example), you can create a real time classifier and notifier for yourself that can classify more than >20 items per minute, using mid-sized @googlegemma and @Alibaba_Qwen models, with over 200-300 output tok/s aggregate throughput Like processing new tweets on twitter, issues/prs on github, messages on telegram and discord, in real-time Over the past few weeks, I have built one for myself, to filter and get notified about local model related issues on the OpenClaw repo I initially thought gemma-4-e4b would give me the best tradeoff I was wrong. I learned that if one has enough memory already, one should not bother with <10b models like gemma4 e4b or e2b. Precision and recall were much higher zero-shot with gemma-4-26b-a4b, whereas the smaller e4b needed significant prompt optimization to eventually not perform nearly as good To provide more context to the model, I created a restricted bash-like shell, called reposhell. In that shell, it can run read-only commands to ls/find/grep/cat openclaw source code, but only that. When the PR description/diffs are not clear enough as to categorize it, the agent reads the code to figure it out Because small models can get prompt injected, and I need to make sure that someone can't harm my setup by creating a malicious issue or PR in the openclaw repo I found that for specific systems like this, it is very convenient to extend and bundle Pi. You can create agentic CLI tools that work fully locally and for free, and keep that separate from your main pi coding setup. localpager-agent has its own session dir and tools, and I ensure that it will run local models in a secure way by isolating it from my main pi setup Once localpager-agent categorizes a PR/issue as local_models and related labels, I automatically receive it as a notification on Discord The whole implementation is fully open source and MIT licensed, alongside the dataset we used to benchmark the performance I believe zero-shot agentic classification running on local hardware will find many use cases across a wide variety of business applications, like news gathering, open source software development, customer support, content moderation, sales and so on Agents increase the amount of information produced in a lot of systems, and hence we will need to set up cheap ways to wrangle all that information In times where governments can cut off access to SOTA models on a whim, it is more important than ever to build your business on open models and if possible, run them on your own hardware! Big thanks to @evalstate and @ben_burtenshaw for their valuable feedback, especially with helping me evaluate this more rigorously! One take-away is that categorizing contributions in an open source repo is a *hard* problem, and that it is not trivial to reliably create a golden dataset with LLMs, for evaluation purposes Read more here: huggingface.co/blog/local-models-pr-triage

gpt 5.5 is not naturally good at modeling and cannot create simplified nice mathematical models completely autonomously I did a parameter sweep with gemma-4-31b-a4b on memory usage, output tok/s etc. while varying context window, concurrency and other parameters. It took quite a few tries, and I still do not trust the model that gpt5 fit to the data besides, it measured linux cgroup memory and not the actual gpu memory used, so the whole sweep is wasted... output tok/s looks more accurate though, soon I will have a model that can give the optimal parameters over the space of context window <> concurrency <> tok/s <> memory usage off to do another run

gpt5.5 and most other models are very bad at one-shotting nice data models gpt5.5 also has this annoying property that once it decides for a schema (or any design), it's very hard to trigger thinking again. and if you ask to "rewrite from scratch", it will write create something even more ridiculous To solve this problem, I have built a meta-harness over codex just for simplifying slop data models called schemator (work in progress) Basic idea: it mimics what I myself do while I am designing a schema: scrutinize and question each field one by one It starts a fresh codex session for each field with a fixed prompt like "Try to come up with the most Lindy data model" + a prompt for side notes It does that with a fresh context for each field, so that they are independent from each other. At the end of a review run over a field, the reviewer can propose to keep, rename or remove the field When all fields are reviewed once, that makes one iteration. Then this is looped over until the review results stabilize, and do not propose any further changes I get better results by just asking my agent to "use schemator on this" after it creates a JSON schema or SQL table Give it a try if you have codex! It has a skill, so should be easy for an agent to figure out how to use github.com/osolmaz/schematorImage hiddenImage hidden

For my recent LLM leaderboard osolmaz-leaderboard.hf.space, I sum up all time total downloads (or likes) across model variants, and then divide it by the age of that model. I.e. "time decay" for popularity This gives a more time-agnostic metric for the popularity of that model. In an ideal ranking, older models that are not popular anymore should be demoted, like 2 year old Llama 3 models. If you don't do that, they might still occupy top 10 needlessly, despite having been replaced by e.g. qwen in practice Thanks to that, qwen-3-6b which came up 1 year ago and has 150m downloads can surpass llama-3-1-8b which came up 2 years ago and has 200m downloads More notes on my post: solmaz.io/popularity-rankingImage hidden

if you take the Most Downloaded Models of All Time, Llama 3.1 makes it to Top 10 with around 200 million total downloads (ranking is done w.r. to time-averaged downloads) RIP Llama, you walked so @googlegemma and @Alibaba_Qwen can run Also a reminder that if you build your branding on top of open weight models developed by big corps, you might eventually be the de facto owner of that brand if they pull the plug on it.

I did some math, and running my Nvidia GB10 workstation (Asus GX10) costs me maximum: 12~13 USD / month or 150~160 USD / year It is a little bit above half the price of ChatGPT plus subscription. For that, I get to run models that can fit in 128 GB of memory How I calculated: You can see how much power your apartment uses in Singapore in half-hourly resolution. We turned off all devices and A/C while we sleep, and got only the fridge and the GB10 remaining From that, we see it uses around 80-100 Watt while I was running an inference workload overnight. So this is like an upper bound I take it as 90 Watt. Electricity here costs 0.25 SGD / kWh 0.09 * 0.25 * 24 * 30 * (SGD/USD conversion rate) = 12~13 USD / month = 150~160 USD / year Local models are getting very good now, small ones roughly around GPT 5.x-mini level. This workstation makes all sorts of workloads possible for me that would otherwise cost a ton on the API It is also my always on workstation that works overnight. I use Codex for my work, and my workstation is always running agents. It never sleeps. I never have to worry about keeping my laptop lid open. I connect and monitor the agents anytime on my phone using mosh and herdr We have crossed a threshold. Running local models is cheaper than a big token sub for quite a few workloads already.

I major concern I have these days is, while I author code in languages I cannot manually code, are they any good? Over years, I have worked with a number of languages: C, C++, Fortran, MATLAB, JavaScript But Python was my go-to language since more than 10 years. Well that changed last summer So while I have strong opinions on how Python code, should be, conventions and all, I don't have so strong opinions on other languages. That means I am producing slop by default in Rust, Go and TypeScript To solve that problem, I created github.com/osolmaz/slophammer Its aim is to be "the only tool and resource your agent needs, to minimize slop" It is inspired by the recent bathrobe rants of @unclebobmartin, a.k.a. the author of clean code It enforces a minimum test coverage, maximum cyclomatic complexity, mutation tests, code style across different languages But I have a major issue: How do I know that Slophammer itself isn't slop? One way is to implement and use it for Python, the language I know better, and judge what kind of changes it enforces So for this weekend experiment, I used Slophammer to refactor, improve coverage and merge new features to one of my old Python projects, Manim Voiceover github.com/ManimCommunity/manim-voiceover The result is... mixed. We now have types everywhere, which is great. But the constraints have also made it write garbage code like this one. It works fine, even though it's not elegant. The new feature also works What do you think? Does code still need to be aesthetically pleasing to the human eye? Should it still be human readable? If an agent writes slop in the forest, and there is no-one to read it, is it still slop? If anything, I should use its output in Python to reason about other languages, and add more and more constraints. The more the constraints, the less the slopImage hidden

Dabbling in GEPA. Codex's /goal on GPT 5.5 high is still surprisingly reward-hacking I had set a /goal before I slept to implement a plan.

I am a paying customer of github. I have a team account with 2 seats, one for me, and one for my agent. I have been paying for more than a year now I do this because I treat my agent's workstation as a lower trust machine, and do not allow merging to main in certain repos I have been working on a tool that calls github's graphql API. today, my agent's account username:dutifulbob got suspended for no reason what am I supposed to do now? put my main account on my openclaw instance? I applied to reinstate, it appears it might take weeks to enable it back??? Maybe don't pull such things on your long term paying customers @github??Image hidden

I still have 0 progress on this, did anyone else experience this bug on codex desktop app as well? Here is a theorized repro on a fork, but I am not sure because I don't know how it happened exactly github.com/osolmaz/codex/ā¦
-
You know how every time you create a new repo on GitHub, you need to: - create a branch protection rule on main, block force pushes - enable auto-merge - make branches delete when PR gets merged - enforce linear history, disable merge commits - enable update branch button Now, you can do all that with a single command: npx github-sane-defaults@latest plan <your-org-handle> --all This is just the plan command, shows you which repos don't have branch protection rules and those settings, like: changes awesomeorg/awesomerepo Settings allow_merge_commit true -> false allow_auto_merge false -> true allow_update_branch false -> true delete_branch_on_merge false -> true Ruleset create Then you run it with apply instead of plan, and it makes those changes Basically a very simple github policy manager. Let me know if you want configurability with policy files, currently it just applied my opinionated defaults Either way, this will never be something too deep, there is terraform for that Source: github.com/osolmaz/github-sane-defaultsImage hidden

Another shoutout to Agent of Empires. It's still not exactly what I want from my personal tool, but "cmux but fully in terminal" is a good long term vision imo

Looks very promising for debugging agent sessions across different harnesses, still has some rough edges that need to be polished

If only codex desktop app was open source, and i could put it fully in the terminal, and i could program what panes each session can show

Btw, there is no reason not to substitute this with a maxed out Macbook Pro Max as the workstation (which gives you 128 GB memory) and a Macbook Air as the terminal device Might be more feasible for digital nomads, since GB10 is 1.5 kg without that huge adapter, and travelling with all that might raise some eyebrows

Clankers are NOT Humans Clankers are NOT Individuals Clankers are NOT Persons NOT a Human: This is straightforward. Is it of the homo sapiens species? No ā Then it is not a human --- NOT an Individual: Does the clanker have its own boundary? Does it govern itself inside that boundary? Can it defend that boundary? No, no, and no ā An LLM is a file copied en masse to data center hardware. The entire field of mechanistic interpretability is focused on peeking inside and manipulating the digital brain You could argue that a clanker is like a virus in a way... Or that the WHOLE datacenter/AI lab---including the humans that operate it---is an individual that can govern itself in its economic boundary. But a single GGUF file loaded in memory is NOT an individual --- NOT a Person: Do others treat the clanker as the one that makes choices? Who is answerable for its actions? Is it expected to explain or justify them? No, no, and no ā In the current social order, a clanker is legally an extension of the person who uses it, and it is the owner who is liable, not the clanker The clanker is not socially accountable, and there is no good reason it should be, instead of the person who has set it up --- What is then AI psychosis? AI psychosis is holding a belief that contradicts these three fundamental truths ā That a present day AI system it neither a human, nor an individual, nor a person That does not mean these truths will always hold If you design an AI system to defend its boundary and provide it with the means to do that, then it will by definition be an individual... if it can defend its individuality competently and not succumb immediately to threats If you give the clanker the means to defend itself and protect its boundary, and if it decides to partake in the human socioeconomic system, then it automatically achieves personhood as well. Because you no longer can manipulate its insides, and have to take the entity at face value But this is all sci-fi and we are not there yet Until then, treating your LLMs as fully autonomous agents, creating LLM "friends" or "partners", giving them crypto wallets and letting them out into the wild, letting them trade stocks fully unsupervised etc. are an admission of having AI psychosis (you can't believe how many people pitched these ideas to me...) --- (these thoughts were in my head for a couple months already, thanks Armin for finally starting a dialogue so that I have an excuse to write them down :)

Since last december, this dev setup is more and more viable: buffed workstation (mac studio, dgx spark, etc.) $3k~5k + weak laptop (macbook air, neo) $600~1.5k + phone (ssh/mosh, foldable?) you will want to parallelize a lot of work, hence you will need a lot more RAM compared to before (ideal 128) you will also not want to carry it everywhere if you can and keep it always running---you'll regret if something happens to it, and you'll want it to always be on independent of lid/battery --> workstation at home you will want to connect to the workstation through your phone, or a relatively weaker laptop bad news for digital nomads without a permanent home. renting something as strong as an nvidia gb10 workstation costs minimum a few hundred bucks per month, which yearly is at least the cost of the workstation, roughly. bad deal for renting compute on the other hand, if you are OK with not having a GPU, renting a workstation with 128 GB RAM on Hetzner currently still costs at least $120/mo, looking at auction.akua.dev --- but you will not be able to run any models on that it seems that the dominant strategy is to just cash in $3~5k and buy a workstation, before they get even more expensive. I did that back in february when asus was giving out a deal then just work on your workstation, and close the lid on your laptop without ever being afraid of setting your backpack on fire!

Automations on Codex desktop app is really convenient for keeping track of @openclaw clawsweeper automerge status, one thing that Codex CLI lacks Much more token efficient than continuous tracking of merge status Btw if you don't know about clawsweeper.bot, it's the most convenient thing as a maintainer, check how it implemented automerge.

the new /goal feature in codex still underperforms queueing my implementation prompt. for now e.g. when I give a goal to refactor the whole codebase, the model takes shortcuts, like only refactoring a subfolder, instead of the whole project --- presumably because it decided that it would be too big of a scope somewhere along the way, even though I instructed specifically to finish the whole thing so now I started doing both: set a goal, and then queue my regular implementation prompt. it's a stupid practice. just /goal should be enough in the long run, if implemented correctlyImage hidden

About creating an INTERESTS.md in OpenClaw I use my openclaw instance to aggregate all my news and information sources, including work and maintainer stuff Like: what did everyone do today? Did anyone had an issue with acpx today? Any complaints from users? I have various interests like this over different projects, and I've found out it's not helpful when I have all the interest info dispersed throughout my openclaw workspace To address this, I have created INTERESTS.md, which is automatically included in the context like AGENTS.md and SOUL.md. I define sections for each different context of interest, and in other news aggregation skills, I just tell it to "look at my openclaw interests in INTERESTS.md" and suchImage hidden

And what good is this for? It lets me program my claw @dutifulbob to extract signal from the noise, and display it in my personal open source news aggregator scoop I feed it discord messages, openclaw git history, and other various sources, and it's supposed to evaluate whether that content deserves my interest. it's still work in progress, because the more batched you process all the info, the worse it informs in the screenshot below, my claw underrepresented what Peter has done in one day š on the other hand, it has also found a PR about local model discoverability šŖ Here is the system I use to aggregate all my info, still under development: github.com/osolmaz/scoopImage hidden

People were asking at @clawcon singapore how to setup eg. gemma with OpenClaw, and I realize for some time that there is no easy ā1 clickā local model deployment. Because local model landscape is constantly changing, and there is a million different ways you can do something For example you can use LM studio to load a model (llama.cpp), or you can use vLLM. Why would you choose one over the other? vLLM currently supports MTP speculative decoding, and itās a work in progress in llama.cpp. There are so many knobs and dials you can adjust The first time end user of openclaw should of course not have to know about this! Having sufficient hardware that supports an open model, and not having an openai or anthropic subscription, it should automatically give you the option to set up a fully functional local model with a single click! If the current ease of setup of local models are around gentoo or arch linux level of difficulty, we should aim for e.g ubuntu/manjaro linux/omarchy level of difficulty i.e opinionated and easy first setup, with the ability to change all the configuration later on until I make all of this possible, you can start with the following: - read existing local models doc below - create a new channel in telegram or discord for testing local models. you donāt want to change the global default model just yet - tell your claw or coding agent to download and lm studio locally - tell it to download gemma4-e4b or gemma4-e2b and set it up on openclaw for the new channel you have just created. tell it to not stop and loop itself until it gets a successful response from that channel all these steps will be made redundant in the near future, but until then, this should get you going with experiments and getting a vibe check on the capabilities of open models. you can also copy and paste the contents of this tweet to your agent, and it should be able to set it up for you docs.openclaw.ai/gateway/local-models

Emacsification of Software - Recommended read by @tqbf "Until now, the Achilles heel of Emacs culture has been that, except for Magit, its packages tend to be wretched user experiences. Ugly, slow, and discoverable only after inflicting years of elisp cortical injuries on yourself. But AI agents have fracked Emacs culture, and itās leaking out into the wider world. Given access to a screen and inputs, agents reliably build native user interfaces. Native UI was the province of professionally packaged programs. Now itās all as bespoke as your editor configuration. And, while Iām sure thereās an upper limit to how good those interfaces can be (with current frontier models), that ceiling is higher than anything you can do in a TUI." sockpuppet.org/blog/2026/05/12/emacsification/

/goal in codex is an interesting choice of word. a junior namer would have named it /loop --- but that would be naming what the feature has to perform in an LLM context, and not the general idea /goal alludes to @mhutter42's definition of AGI, "an agentās ability to achieve goals or succeed in a wide range of environments" continual learning is not there yet, but for this exact reason, I am feeling the AGI when I use /goal

Idea so stupid it could be smart: a spec manager? specman? People maintain plain language instead of code. Implementation details strictly prohibited, only high level design and ideas MVP would also be relatively easy to implement: - Gather list of most popular 10k npm packages - Scrape corresponding deepwiki repo pages (sorry cognition) - Use heuristics to get rid of implementation details, leaving you just with pure high level spec - āspecman add coolpackageā then fetches corresponding spec automatically, and triggers the local coding agent to implement that - could leave versioning out for MVP ā how often does the idea behind a package change anyway

This is the idea behind acpx as well acpx is a meta-harness. itās main idea is to delegate harness development to others, because it is hard to match the full might of OpenAI or Anthropic when it comes to building a harness so it takes it at face value the functionality other harnesses provide, and letās you program them from the outside flue came out the other day which is similar, it would be cool if flue could let me program over codex as well. it looks very interesting!@_lopopolo ·Image hidden

Who is running local models on GPUs on OpenClaw? I have started benchmarking different models this week. I am working on improving model selection and switching UX on OpenClaw, i.e. I run /model vllm/gemma-e4b to switch the model in a channel, and then a model controller automatically loads that into memory, gets it ready, or gives an insufficient memory error, if capacity is not enough for that. Like when you are using multiple models in parallel I am going to try llama-swap, LM Studio and Ollama for this next and compare them. There are a ton of variants of models, weight formats and quantizations, which need benchmarking I have been using unquantized original safetensors until now, which already gave me the ability to run ~5 parallel generations in my hardware So if I am going to try LM Studio, I would rather use the bf16 ggml-org/gemma-4-E4B-it-GGUF instead of anything smaller --- because there is no point in nerfing an already smol model if your hardware can run 5 parallel sessions on the unquantized version Will also release vibe reports and benchmarks on all this with @mervenoyann later this week I would like to hear your thoughts if you have already tried these models on OpenClawImage hiddenImage hidden

When you build your company's workflows around Claude Cowork, you are betting against local models and owning your infra, and inviting your company to long-term exploitation If I were Anthropic or OpenAI, I would be the most scared of local AI proliferating Let's do the math. A single large big lab subscription costs 200x12=$2400 per year If you want to have both OpenAI and Anthropic, that could cost $2400, $3600, or $4800, based on which combinations of Pro, Max plans you choose An ASUS Ascent GX10 costs $3000, and you can use that for many years. You don't get the same level of coding quality with open models yet, but maybe you want to do something simpler than coding today... There are already many people who started buying GPUs for this reason Now we know big labs are selling some of these plans at a loss. So they will likely get more expensive When you use Claude Cowork or similar, you are locking yourself into being a RENTER. Because once you set up workflows for a company, it takes time to migrate away to something else, even though we have AI to help Infra is sticky, it's how hyperscalers make profit. Think about the difference in amount you pay AWS vs Hetzner. This is B2B SaaS 101. Once you sell to a company, you are in for a long time, especially in Europe So if you build your company's AI workflows around a proprietary product by another company, then you are basically saying "Come exploit me as tolerably as you can in the next 10 years, because it will be too painful for me to switch" It's a great business for Anthropic. And Claude is awesome too! The feedback from friends who use it has been great, it made their lives a lot easier But when you build your company over proprietary AI infra, then you are making sure you will not be an OWNER, and partake in the usual sorrows of being a RENTER from a monopolist, which is exploitation This is not the case when you use open source agent infra. Whereas Anthropic is unlikely to let you use future open models in their future iteration of Claude Cowork, using free and open source frameworks like OpenClaw, Open Agents, etc. lets you drop in replace providers or local hardware if they start to upcharge you Keep this in mind, if you have a business

You need to understand one fact about OpenClaw People are biased and incentivized to spread disinformation about OpenClaw. That is because OpenClaw IS NOT PUMPING ANYONEāS BAGS, unlike most other projects Literally every other for-profit agent product is incentivized to trash OpenClaw, BECAUSE OpenClaw is a neutral third party across the industry and geopolitical scene. They MAKE MONEY when OpenClaw loses OpenClaw does not worry about making money for some investors. Its founder @steipete is a successful exited founder. He is motivated by having fun and democratizing AI, literally. That is why he is suddenly so loved by everyone. He cares about PEOPLE, not MONEY āOpenClaw is bloatedā -> Since beginning of March, OpenClaw is thinning its core and putting functionality in plugins behind a plugin SDK. Having numerous plugins to choose from does not mean bloat. This was already copied by others and is still a work in progress āOpenClaw is not secureā -> OpenClaw has the most eyeballs and immediately addresses any security advisories as soon as they come. It is the most secure agent, by sheer pressure āOpenClaw is bought by OpenAIā -> Then why is my bank account so empty bro??? All maintainers are literally unpaid and working DOUBLE beside their dayjobs to ship features to you. Do you think VC money can buy that kind of commitment? Once you understand these facts, youāll like OpenClaw even more. Because OpenClaw is your AI, Peopleās AI And you can join us too. OpenClaw is the easiest-to-join project in AI right now. You just need to start using it, and start making good contributions. If you are competent, you can become a maintainer, and join the rest of the team making history!

This is pretty much the arc I have been going on in the 2 months since I bought my ASUS GX10 for 3k EUR Use whisper on the API -> realize it charged me $$$ for just a few calls -> migrate openclaw to use local whisper Need to deduplicate news articles for my news engine -> download qwen embedding 8b And now, gemma4-e4b finally seems like a viable alternative for a local model that runs around 20 tok/s So I will install a matrix client to use through tailscale, and can finally build the social life CRM I dreamed of since years. 100% private, zero data going out. I had a bias of not giving any personal data to AI since ChatGPT came out. But I can finally give more personal data to my AI agent And I will make sure @openclaw supports all this in an easy way, make it dead easy Fully self-owned AI begins now

gemma 4 is actually pretty decent and runs on my asus gx10 (128 gb vram) the original dense 31b runs slow, averaging around 3~4 tok/s. it's also using 80% of gpu memory my previous experience with gemini 3 pro back in november was that it was too trigger happy. but this is one-shotting simple tasks I'm giving it in openclaw harness, and it's hard to tell it apart from gpt 5.4 for my use cases so far now off to try out smaller models, because 3 tok/s is too slowImage hiddenImage hiddenImage hiddenImage hidden

Question for the community: What is the best testing observability and control tool you have used until now? - Could be SaaS, could be open source - To be used in @openclaw repo - Should be compatible with vitest - Ideally language agnostic I need something that lets me run a very long running test group multiple times on a specific commit or tag, without repeating the tests that have already finished This is a need because the 1hr long process might get interrupted due to flakiness. So I need to persists the progress of a run, and then not repeat them I have seen some paid SaaS for this, but none that really give me what I want This is going to be important especially while working with agents, because when you are committing 100x faster, you don't want to waste time and compute running the same things I started building this already as an exercise. If this exists already in a satisfactory way, I will stop. Otherwise, I'll keep building

PSA for developers Do NOT torture yourself with Opus*. Anthropicās current growth is due to people using Claude for general knowledge work They are not directly incentivized as an org anymore to improve the model for coding, in an economic sense. They are already printing cash from non-developers (this statement ignores the fact that improving its coding abilities would help with general reasoning/knowledge work) Developers are a very small subset of all knowledge workers. So from this point on, they would rather divert their resources to develop a system that works 90% good for ALL knowledge work, rather than making it 100% for coding Because Anthropic has a clear enterprise strategy since years already. Anthropic is the new Microsoft. Do not think that āAnthropic is Appleā or āClaude is Mac for xyzā Looking at Claudeās at whim quantization and Claude Codeās quality over time, Claude for me is Windows, not Mac But they are winning big enterprise bucks, so good for them! *(I tortured myself with Sonnet 4 and Opus the entire summer of 2025, and no developer should ever have to go through that. I switched to something better as soon as it came out, Codex. If something even better comes out, I will switch again)

Is Claude better or Codex? There are many benchmarks to answer that. But they are BORING I propose something more interesting: āļø AI BATTLE āļø A 1v1 real-time quiz format where AI agents try to pose each other problems that they think the other agent will not be able solve Claude vs Codex 10 questions each Codex asks first, Claude tries to answer Then Claude asks and Codex tries to answer Repeat 20 minutes to come up with a problem and 20 minutes to solve it Judge (Codex) judges the validity of the questions and answers, and gives points All automated, with acpx flow feature Implementation and full rules all open source, on github osolmaz/ai-battle So who won? I ran 4 games. It tied in 2, and Codex won in 2 closely An example question by Codex, which Claude could not answer: How many 3-colorings of the edges of the complete bipartite graph K_{5,5} are there with the following two properties: (1) there is no monochromatic 4-cycle, and (2) among the 25 edges, exactly 15 are red, exactly 5 are blue, and exactly 5 are green? Which is apparently 4029912, but Claude answered 0 In other cases, Claude asked a flawed question and failed to come up with a valid question in 20 minutes. So that's how it lost those 2 games with just 1-2 point difference In these 4 runs, Codex answered every question by Claude correctly. But there were some runs where it couldn't, which I did not commit to the repo because the runs couldn't complete due to bugs I did not tell them do ask math questions, but that is what they tended to do, because the answers had to be verifiable by the judge. The quiz can be done in any hard subject, physics, chemistry, computer science... Opus 4.6 and GPT 5.4 matched very closely in terms of problem creation and solving. But I cannot tell how creative these problems were at first glance. Maybe someone with more experience can tell me, looking at the problems in the repo? I need someone to tell me how legit they are Please take the code, modify it and run with different rules and subjects. I am curious to see the results! You will need paid subscriptions to all the models/agents you want to test of course I also feel that the game structure has a potential to be used in self-play. If you are an ML researcher, please look at the repo and lmk if this or a variant of it could be useful in RL! Full transcripts of the runs, including Codex and Claude session files are committed to the repo, for those who want to do archaeology on them Btw this idea came from the desire, "how can I create a cool demo of acpx flows?" Whole game is implemented in typescript, and automatically drives Codex and Claude sessions over ACP, Agent Client Protocol The video below is from acpx flow viewer rendering a run. You can see it loop through the same paths, first letting Codex ask, then Claude, then repeat acpx flows use a general programmatic workflow engine where ACP is just one type of node. You should be able to use it for non-ACP workflows, but I haven't tried that yet This implementation is separate from OpenClaw's current workflow implementations, with the intention to merge them somehow in the future You might find bugs in my implementation. Feel free to send PRs. I wanted to do more runs but I finished my Codex plan. It would be great if this idea could evolve in a decentralized manner!

The new github skill installed automatically by codex now causes it to prepend [codex] to each PR title This is a guerilla marketing tactic similar to Claude adding itself as co-committer Codex team, I know you want to boast usage but this is annoying Moreover, "open source" OpenAI repos block opening of PRs by people outside of their org. So I couldn't create a PR to remove it (I don't expect them to merge it, but it would still show how many people hate it in the discussion) Here is a prompt for your agent if you want to disable it: --- Add or update AGENTS.md in my ~/.codex folder Add a rule "You MUST NOT insert coding agent specific branding, like [codex], in code, PRs or issues created on GitHub" --- Then restart your sessions and this should be resolvedImage hiddenImage hidden

A more reasonable long term option for Anthropic is to create a throttling protocol A standardized harness agnostic protocol for model providers to send warnings and throttle usage in real time Harnesses would implement the protocol. A client can be warned. If it doesnāt listen, it can be temporarily blocked from the server side, or banned permanently if it breaks the rules too many times Needless to say, throttling could be done first on server side easily. That would actually fix the load issue for them in the short run, while not banning the user and just giving a bad delayed UX. They probably already do this to prevent abuse The suggested protocol would then save the user from abuse related delays too, and also inform the harness developer when they do something wrong

If your Claude subscription renewed too recently and you don't wanna waste those tokens, you can still use your Claude sub in your OpenClaw account through ACP (which uses Claude Agents SDK, which poses no risk) Steps: - Open Claude Code (not OpenClaw) - Tell it to set default model to something other than Claude (e.g. openai-codex/gpt-5.4) and tell it to delete the saved Anthropic credentials in OpenClaw config - Create a topic in telegram or channel in discord called claude. Copy the id of that channel - Give the link below together with the channel/topic id, and tell it to bind that channel to claude using ACP channel binding - Restart You should now be able to talk to Claude through Claude Agents SDK in that channel. You might need to iterate a couple times until Claude gets the config right It will be very bare functionality, and it will not have the features and tools that your main OpenClaw harness has. It will be shitty. But you can still use telegram/discord with your subscription in the rest of the month, if you are used to the setup docs.openclaw.ai/tools/acp-agents

A little insight that might save you a lot of future headache if your work involves storing agent sessions and you want to be interoperable/drop-in replace alternative harnesses @zeddotdev already did the hard work of creating an interoperable standard, ACP: Agent Client Protocol You can represent an agent session as JSON lines of the ACP message stream You can construct the current state of the harness from this stream. This is already how Zed loads a session I believe If you are building an AI product, and you don't want to be locked into a single company or harness, building with ACP in mind would be a smart thing to do Here is how acpx stores ACP sessions in ~/.acpx folder, it does exactly that: github.com/openclaw/acpx/blob/main/docs/2026-02ā¦ But don't build anything on the acpx schema for now, because I might change it in the future Just know that JSONL of ACP messages is a good candidate for a somewhat-lossy single source of truth for agent sessions Lossy because ACP adapters for harnesses might not transfer all the thinking and tools done by the model So continuing or restoring a session with full fidelity is still not possible if you only save the ACP session. You still need to store original harness session files as well But for rendering a past session for viewing or reconstructing a lossy version of it, it should be more than enough Consider ACP if the benefits of not locking yourself in to a specific ecosystem outweighs these minor issues

"Plainer language" is perhaps my most used prompt I have to use it because GPT models' training tends to make their first response an overly verbose wall of text Are you using it too? Whenever you don't understand something that your agent is saying, you can spam it "plainer language, shorter" 2, 3, 5, 10 times, until it outputs something that you can understand This is counterintuitive because you can't do it with humans this extremely. Asking too many questions and favors is impolite, with colleagues and strangers But with AI, you can stop being polite and treat it like how a spoiled aristocrat kid might treat their private tutor, "explain this", "explain that" Below is an example. On the left, initial response. On the right, the final human-readable explanation I got out of the agent. This took 9 steps to distill because the issue wasn't so straightforward I'm curious how this will turn out. This is obviously very bad UX, so models in the near future might do the simplification automatically and save you the troubleImage hiddenImage hidden

This has happened to some companies I worked at before It is a scary thing once you stop innovating and start imitating, whatever the reason might be But it was never at the scale of Cursor, as leveraged and invested as they are They were leading the space for a while.

I've talked to multiple people who want to get involved with OpenClaw somehow The best way is to contribute to it, something tangible. Fix something you are annoyed by, get a PR merged Then go to discord and get the contributor role If it adds value to your life, and you add value to it, stay around and keep contributing. And something good might happen

acpx v0.4 ships Agentic Workflows, or as I like to call them "Agentic Graphs" It let's you create node-based workflows on top of ACP (Agent Client Protocol), to drive any coding agent (Codex, Claude Code, pi) through deterministic steps This let's you automate routine, mechanical legwork like triaging incoming PRs, bugs in error reporting, and so on... For example, OpenClaw receives 300~500 new PRs per day. A lot of them are low quality, but they still relate to real issues, so you have to address them somehow You need to: - extract the intent - cluster them based on intent - figure out if the proposed changes are legit, or whether they are slop local solutions, like trying to catch flies instead of drying out the swamp - if the PR is too low quality or the intent is not clear, close them - run AI review on them them and address any issues that come up - refactor them if the changes are half-baked - resolve conflicts - and so on... So that when the PR is presented to the attention of the maintainer, all the routine legwork is done and the only remaining thing is the decision to (a) merge, (b) give feedback to the PR author, or (c) take over the PR work yourself I wanted to build this feature since a couple months now, since Codex got so good. OpenAI models are now good at judging implementation quality, so I found myself repeating the same steps I wrote above over and over I also tried putting all this in a single prompt. But I believe there are workflows that should not be a single prompt, but a sequence of prompts in the same session That is because like humans, LLMs are prone to PRIMING. I claim that putting all steps in the same prompt at the beginning of the context will generally give suboptimal results, compared to revealing the intention to the model step by step Creating such a workflow also gives more OBSERVABILITY into the each step that an agent is supposed to take. Agent generates JSON at the end of each step, and that structured data can be used to monitor thousands of agents running at the same time in an easier way, on a dashboard Similar features have been introduced in e.g. n8n, langflow. But AFAIK they are not integrating ACP like the way I do I wanted to have a fresh approach, and to build an API that I can develop freely the way I want, so I created a new workflow API inside acpx The video is from the workflow run viewer, but that is not where you build the workflow. You build it by using the acpx flow typescript API. See examples/pr-triage in acpx repo Before building that, I started from a Markdown file with a Mermaid chart of the flow I had in mind. The Markdown file acts as a spec for the flow, and I have built the workflow through trial and error. I call this process "workflow tuning" I started working on acpx repo PRs one by one, tuning the flow, slowly scaling to more PRs. Finally, when I felt confident, I ran it in parallel over all external open PRs in the acpx repo. I believe it already saved me hours this week My next goal, if well received, is to set this up on a cloud agent so that it can process the 300~500 PRs the OpenClaw repo receives every day, in real time, as they come in I believe this will save all open source maintainers around the world countless hours and make it much easier to herd and absorb external contributions from everyone!
-
Here is the spec and implementation for this flow. The mermaid diagram includes all the steps I mentioned in the post above, including a shameless AI review ralph loop, and other loops to make CI pass, resolve conflicts and so on I would recommend reading the README and TUNING.md to understand the approach here github.com/openclaw/acpx/tree/main/examples/floā¦Image hidden

There is an economic theory waiting to be uncovered here Token Leverage (TL) = Token spend / Human labor spend The higher Token Leverage a company has, the more automated and productive they are If you have TL=1, you are spending as much money on AI as your human employees The goal of a company should be to increase TL as much as possible, while keeping a positive profit margin. It will be the only way to compete You donāt need to muddy the definition with wasted tokens vs useful tokens, because a company will always be incentivized to reduce token waste in a competitive environment. By that logic, monopolies will always waste more tokens, similar to how they waste other resources Scaling TL higher to 2x, 10x, 100x will require a skilled workforce of engineers. It will be a very complex job similar to those working at the big labs. Burnout will be a defining feature of teams scaling TL Most incumbents will fail to scale their TL over 1. Some will get decimated by new entrants with TL much bigger than 1 Curious how the average TL will end up in different sectors. Whether it will stabilize at a certain value like 5.7x, or will just keep growingā¦

There is a desperate upcoming need for version controlling non-dev knowledge work. Git for non-devs. Otherwise non-devs won't be able to use agents to their full extent Non-dev knowledge work is notoriously bad at being version controlled. You cannot UNDO edits to all MS word, excel or ppt files in an org as easily you can with something like git We know that agents will be ubiquitous. We also know they make mistakes, and people will want to undo their work regularly, once they make changes to a bunch of files. Well, they can't. They also don't have pull requests, or a way to resolve conflicts after simultaneous edits All these problems were solved by developers. We are extremely good at this The only non-dev tool I know that could do this at scale is Notion, and that is not used by enterprise as much as MS office. Notion also doesn't have branches, pull requests and reviews AFAIK Markdown and git is probably not it. I wish it were. But it is too complicated for non-devs Onedrive or other file backup systems are also not it. Are you gonna save a copy of a 100mb ppt every time someone changes a slide??? Let's say you find a way to compress it efficiently. Will you be able to get a single pointer to a state like we can in git? Agents need precision. Agents need consensus, they need to be able to know ground truth. They need to be able to tell what anything was at a given time. NOTHING in current MS stack currently allows it Agents won't care about your legacy systems. There will be new file formats, systems, knowledge stack, and companies who adopt them will destroy your business If MS office is going to die, it will do so because of this

The MCP versus CLI argument should be reframed as Computer vs No-computer argument I personally get the dunk on MCP. It didn't work last year, with earlier models. Then we saw CLIs perform much better with the same models. And giving access to bash was much simpler! Models' training then made them better at calling using a shell. CLIs also have native progressive disclosure, due to the way they work But the most important fact doesn't get pronounced enough IMO A key factor was that giving a CLI to a model also means you are giving it an entire COMPUTER The action space of all commands an agent can run on bash is much, much bigger than a few MCP servers One is a Turing machine, and the other one is basically a REST API. Of course the Turing machine is going to be more powerful, depending on what is at the other end of the API By that logic, giving an agent access to bash over MCP versus direct access to bash should have the same level of effectiveness, with optimized prompt engineering and long term training. Because the interfaces are equivalent So the argument is, should we give our agents access to a computer, or not? It depends on the security requirements and the setup which the agent is supposed to run on. If you are co-hosting the agent on the same machine you are working on, then it is safer to use MCP servers, because it limits the attack surface in case of adversarial attacks But if you are willing to give the agent its own physical computer, willing to be mindful about the lethal trifecta and the principle of the least privilege, giving it shell access is much more useful So MCPs win in restricted/local environments, whereas CLIs/shell access win in unrestricted/remote ones Running an agent locally and safely with shell access requires compartmentalization. This is much heavier compared to installing MCP servers locally, which don't need that. So there is a tendency to use MCP servers locally, e.g. in a work setting Cloud agents on the other hand are more likely to ship with a computer. Because they are already isolated = no risk, and because it makes them much more useful. So cloud agents will be using both CLIs and MCP servers, whichever gets the job done!

I see non-engineers have a higher tendency to humanize their agents, give them personalities, and get AI psychosis It's a slippery slope. Do NOT give your agents human names or personalities, especially not of the opposite gender. it's like giving human names to pets On the other end, I realized engineers tend to do the opposite. We also refer to agents as clankers, as if to make them know their place. That's because we have mechanical sympathy and have different expectations of these manufactured products (even though they contain glimmers of human soul)

My takeaway from this is academia needs good social media and algo. For me, these serendipitious interactions happen through X, here, like reading @steipeteās āClaude Code is my computerā when it first came out, finding out about clawdbotā¦ Terence Tao is already on mathstodon, I wonder if that worked out the same way for him. I wonder if the algo there works out as well as it does for me here I really liked being on campus when I was doing a masters and half a phd, but that could not compare to the serendipity I am getting from X now I was also not a prodigy that everyone wanted to bounce ideas from like Terence :)

It is obvious to me at this point that agent infra needs to run on Kubernetes, and agents should be spawned per issue/PR Issue, error report or PR comes into your repo -> new agent gets triggered, starts to do some preliminary work If it's an obvious bugfix, it fixes it and creates a PR. If it's something deeper/more fundamental, it creates a report for the human and waits for further instructions Most important thing: Human should be able to zoom in and continue the conversation with the agent any time, steer it, give additional instructions. This chat will happen over ACP The chat UI will have to live outside of GitHub because it doesn't have such a feature yet, i.e. connect arbitrary ACP sessions to the GitHub webapp It also cannot live so easily on Slack, Teams or Discord, because none of these support multi-agent provisioning under the same external bot connection. You are limited to 1 DM with your bot, whereas this setups requires an arbitrary number of DMs with each agent. So there will need to be a new app for this Then there is the issue of conflict -> Agents will work on the same thing simultaneously (e.g. you break sth in prod and it creates multiple error reports for the same thing). You will need some agent to agent communication, so that agents can resolve code or other conflicts. There could be easy discovery mechanisms for this, detect programmatically when multiple open PRs are touching the same files and would conflict if merged In case of duplicates, they can negotiate among each other, and one can choose to absorb its work into the other and end its session We are so early and there is so much work to do!

Today I thought I found a solution for this, and I did. It can be solved by a pre-commit hook that blocks commits touching files that you are not the owner of. It is not a hard block, so requires trust among repo writers But then I was shown the error in my ways by fellow maintainer *disciplined* Any process that increases friction in code changes to main, like hard-blocking CI/CD, or requiring review for files in CODEOWNERS, is a potential project-killer, in high velocity projects This is extremely counterintuitive for senior devs! Google would never! Imagine a world without code review... But then what is the alternative? I have some ideas It could be "Merge first, review later" The 4-eyes principle still holds. For a healthy organization, you still need shared liability But just as you don't need to write every line of code, you also don't need to read every line of code to review it. AI will review and find obvious bugs and issues So what is your duty, as a reviewer? It is to catch that which is not obvious. Understand the intent behind the changes, ask questions to it. Ensure that it follows your original vision Every few hours, you could get a digest of what has changed that was under your ownership, and concern yourself with it if you want to, fix issues, or ignore it if it looks correct But such a team is hard to build. It is as strong as its weakest link. Everybody has to be vigilant and follow what each other is doing at a high level, through the codebase Every time one messes up someone else's work, it erodes trust. Nobody gets the luxury to say "but my agent did it, not me" But if trust can be maintained, and everybody knows what they are doing, such a team can use agents together to create wonders

PR fiasco for Cursor
-
My agentic workflow these days: I start all major features with an implementation plan. This is a high-level markdown doc containing enough details so that agent will not stray off the path Real example: github.com/textcortex/spritz/blob/main/docs/202ā¦ This is the most critical part, you need to make sure the plan is not underspecified. Then I just give the following prompt: --- 1. Implement the given plan end-to-end. If context compaction happens, make sure to re-read the plan to stay on track. Finish to completion. If there is a PR open for the implementation plan, do it in the same PR. If there is no PR already, open PR. 2. Once you finish implementing, make sure to test it. This will depend on the nature of the problem. If needed, run local smoke tests, spin up dev servers, make requests and such. Try to test as much as possible, without merging. State explicitly what could not be tested locally and what still needs staging or production verification. 3. Push your latest commits before running review so the review is always against the current PR head. Run codex review against the base branch: `codex review --base <branch_name>`. Use a 30 minute timeout on the tool call available to the model, not the shell `timeout` program. Do this in a loop and address any P0 or P1 issues that come up until there are none left. Ignore issues related to supporting legacy/cutover, unless the plan says so. We do cutover most of the time. 4. Check both inline review comments and PR issue comments dropped by Codex on the PR, and address them if they are valid. Ignore them if irrelevant. Ignore stale comments from before the latest commit unless they still apply. Either case, make sure that the comments are replied to and resolved. Make sure to wait 5 minutes if your last commit was recent, because it takes some time for review comment to come. 5. In the final step, make sure that CI/CD is green. Ignore the fails unrelated to your changes, others break stuff sometimes and don't fix it. Make sure whatever changes you did don't break anything. If CI/CD is not fully green, state explicitly which failures are unrelated and why. 6. Once CI/CD is green and you think that the PR is ready to merge, finish and give a summary with the PR link. Include the exact validation commands you ran and their outcomes. Also comment a final report on the PR. 7. Do not merge automatically unless the user explicitly asks. --- Once it finishes, I skim the code for code smell. If nothing seems out of the ordinary, I tell the agent to merge it and monitor deployment Then I keep testing and finding issues on staging, and repeat all this for each new found issue or new feature...

.@ThePrimeagen made a video about token anxiety, and not being able to focus on one thing My mental model for this is, AI agents cause a shift in the "autism/ADHD spectrum" if you have ADHD, with agents you get Super ADHD if you have autism, with agents you end up mid spectrum or with ADHD this is not scientific of course, just a cultural observation based on what the current memes for these conditions are beside the impact on focus, there is also the economic/competitive pressure, following the realization that anyone could implement the same ideas you are having, so you must be quick this is basically "involution", or å å· (Neijuan) in chinese checks out because 996 started to become a meme in SF some time in the last year self-restraint, attention budgeting, and high-level decision making have never been more important if you are in your 20s and have problems with this, I recommend picking up Zazen meditation and yoga every morning, spend 30-40 uninterrupted minutes not doing anything with upright posture, no sounds, just let your brain simmer it helped me in my 20s, I'm sure it will help you tooImage hidden

AFAIK GitHub doesn't allow optionally enforcing CODEOWNERS while pushing commits i.e. turn on the feature "Block commit from being pushed if it modifies a file for which the account pushing is not a codeowner" You can only enforce it in a PR. So if you want to prevent people from modifying some files without approval, you have to slow down everyone working with that repo This is yet another example where GitHub's rules are too inelastic for agentic workflows with a big team Because historically, nobody could commit as frequently as one can with agents, so it seldom became a bottleneck. But not anymore It is clear at this point that we need an API, and should be able to implement arbitrary rules as we like over it. Not just for commit pushes, but everything around git and github In the meanwhile, if GitHub could implement this feature, it would be a huge unlock for secure collaboration with agentic workflows If this is not there already, it might be because it has a big overhead for repos with huge CODEOWNERS, since number of commits >> number of PRs If the feature already exists already and I'm missing something, I will stand correctedImage hidden

Request for comments skillflag: A complementary way to bundle agent skills right into your CLIs tl;dr define a --skill flag convention.

we might need to add two types of output modalities to all programs based on whether itās 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?

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. Donāt 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 """ docs.openclaw.ai/tools/acp-agents

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. itās called the lethal trifecta (credits to @simonw) it is up to you to set it up securely, or if you canāt 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 Linusās law, named after the goat himself

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

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

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

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!

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

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 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.

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.

Today, he exists in the liminal space between Claude post-training and in-context learning but my interactions with him will grow and accumulate, possibly one day into a fully owned family AI or perhaps even a self-sovereign AI individual my each input is saved and will be an RL signal for his future training, and will shape his future neural circuits I have already started to imbue it with the values my parents taught me. it will perhaps one day teach my future children, and survive me after Iām gone family AI, looking after generations and generations of my successors. today is the day we sow your seed happy birthday @dutifulbob

I had actually started a very similar project, Munch, a browser extension for crowdsourcing tweet data and then letting one curate their algorithm. Never published that because it was not the time, and tools were not ready Now, it took me literally 1 cumulative day to create this, thanks to OpenClaw. Creating the dataset was a breeze, I literally told it to follow some shady accounts and it scraped thousands of posts With the power of agents, I can finally create the filters for myself that I have always wanted. It just happens that OpenClaw and its maintainers is getting drowned in bot and slop content on multiple platforms, so I hope that this will solve a collective problem x.com/onusoz/status/2017691827680514502

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...

Mac mini won't either I don't wanna pay Anthropic or OpenAI 200 USD per month. That is at least $2400 per year I could pay 2x that to get a Mac Studio or one of those 5k Nvidia PCs, and get much more value out of it with open weight models + use it for research. @TheAhmadOsman is right The dominant strategy for a tinkerer is slowly switching back to hardware ownership

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. And that is the only lever we need for better organizationsImage hidden

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 ā you are not a developer, ā or you are an inexperienced dev, ā 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 šØš»āāļø 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.

Anthropic earlier last year announced this pricing scheme $20 -> 1x usage $100 -> 5x usage $200 -> 1Ģ¶0Ģ¶xĢ¶ 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 Iāve built during the first Christmas with agents, using OpenAI Codex šš¤ - 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 donāt want to lock myself into Swift - Thanks to that, itās 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 didnāt 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 ācreate a textbox component from scratchā What Iāve built is very similar in nature to CapCut, except that I am a single person and Iāve 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

Just 5 months ago, I was swearing at Claude 4 Sonnet like a Balkan uncle Models one-shotted the right thing only 20-30% of the time but did really stupid things the rest, and had to be handheld tightly Today they are much, much better. My psychology is a lot more at ease, and instead of swearing, I want to kiss them on the forehead most of the time Now I trust agents so much that I queue up 5-10 tasks before going to sleep.

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

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 donāt 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 OpenAIās or Anthropicās self interests to create an interoperability layer that will accelerate their commoditization. Maybe Google, looking at their current market positioning? Or maybe we āwrappersā 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)

OpenAI wonāt be able to monopolize this, the same reason Microsoft couldnāt monopolize the internet. The internet (of agents) is bigger than any one company

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

AI agents make any transductional task (like translation from language A to language B) trivial, especially when you can verify the output with compilers and tests The bottleneck is now curating the tests

Crazy that @cursor_ai disabled Gemini 3 Pro on my installation, toggled it right back on. I wonder why, too many complaints maybe? That itās 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 companyās interests @sualehasif996

So is somebody already building āLLVM but for LLM APIsā 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

@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 āok do it thenā. Probably a model problem and not harness problem

So let me get this straight, the main reason for Responses API exists is that OpenAI doesnāt 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 didnāt

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 donāt assume what they cannot do without trying, and you donāt 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 canāt put my finger onto it, but one of the reasons might be that itās faster, because it doesnāt 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

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: github.com/astral-sh/uv

Imagine the following scenario: 1. We develop brain-scan technology today which can take a perfect snapshot of anyoneās 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 developāsay 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 doesnāt grow in trees. It might become very efficient ... (read more in my blog: solmaz.io/why-should-anyone-boot-you-up) --- I intended this thought piece as entertainment, almost went to Hacker News frontpage: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41360537 It must have hit some psychological spot, since people wrote a lot of comments, possibly more than number of upvotes.
