You can now use Durable Actors without self hosting
Ten agents editing shared data need more than another prompt.
@IncTerse gives each Durable Actor its own SQLite state and processes one request at a time, creating a more controlled way for agents to work with shared data.
@karatzas_thomas and @oliviersm199 have released the infrastructure as open source.

Excited to announce our first judge: @greybaker!
some fun facts about Grey:
- GP at @ycombinator
- Founded @dependabot
- @agent_relay's primary partner
- smokes everyone at the run club
Rumor has it, he is team "skip PRs and go straight to main". Ironic given he founded a company whose main purpose was putting up PRs.

Judge #2: @boristane CEO of @polylane
One of the most knowledgable Durable Actor people out there, impressing him will be TOUGH.
Fun facts:

Expect fist-bumps.

Our Launch YC video was very down to earth
You are probably building Multiplayer AI Wrong.
We are launching on YC to fix it.

The age of the Actor is upon us. Come build some great demos with Durable Actors!

Most common question I get is how @IncTerse Durable Actors are different from Cloudflare’s Durable Objects (besides us being open source).
Here are the main differences 🧵
These are the kinds of cool things you can build with me.
Every conversation is a durable Actor. This allows:
- only one person to be able to talk a time
- make the conversation go idle, and when you talk to character again, bring up the history as it was.
- fan out speech to all characters in the conversation easily.
And within the actor, a lot of cool logic. Namely:
- We use @typesafeai Jev to decide what info to divulge to you! (this is a murder mystery after all)
- @ElevenLabs to do text to speech.
Everything is dynamic! No two playthroughs are the same.
Oh and the front end is fully vibe coded with astra + @threejs.
we released durable-actors and are looking for the best way to stress test our infra.
we decided to build a multiplayer mystery game set in Victorian England powered by Durable Actors, @typesafeai Jev and @ElevenLabs.

Did pretty well for a distributed systems demo going against robotic arms playing Doom imo
Demo showing how you can coordinate agents with Durable Actors!
This almost won me the @ycombinator demo showcase.
lost in the finals to a robotic arm playing Doom 😭
