New @ToolUsePodcast episode by @MikeBirdTech is live and I had the pleasure of being part of it alongside @karan4d from @NousResearch and three other great builders.
We went deep on Hermes Agent: self-improving skills, ambient agents, why the harness matters as much as the model, and why open source AI must win.
I got to share some @WolfBenchAI insights and real-world use cases. Give it a listen on Spotify or watch it on YouTube - links in reply.

I got to sit down and chat w/ my friend @MikeBirdTech & @ToolUsePodcast about the meta of what @Teknium and @NousResearch and @sudoingX have built with HERMES-AGENT
Some different perspectives from some different long, running agent builders here. Please check it out and make sure to check out the earlier versions of tool use. This is a really awesome podcast with some deep dives on some of the largest sort of archetype landmarks we've moved through into calling and extreme agentic abilities over the last couple of years and if you don't know, Mike, he is one of the core members of launched the open interpreter project, which was just literally miles ahead and on par with almost everything we're still doing today but w/ way better nodeps and harnesses... like hermes-agent

Stop over-complicating your RAG chunking. 🛑
If you’re spending days on custom agentic chunking logic before trying a simple paragraph split, you’re doing it wrong.
Senior Developer Advocate Arjun Patel breaks down the "Keep It Simple" framework for data prep:
📍 Wikipedia? Paragraphs.
📍 Textbooks? Sub-chapters.
📍 Multimodal PDFs? Page-by-page.
Check out the full conversation with @MikeBirdTech on @ToolUsePodcast that covers sparse/dense embeddings, reranking, Pinecone’s Claude Code plugin, and more: youtube.com/watch?v=36FDCiaE…

Had a great chat about Fine-Tuning image/video models with @MikeBirdTech last week! He's got a great YouTube channel and podcast with some gold hidden in there if you haven't seen it yet.

high praise coming from @swyx
check out the episode, you'll probably like it
You know @ryancarson can ship fast!
He leverages the latest tools and approaches and knows what really works and what is just hype
And he's a big fan of the Ralph Wiggum loop (and many other loops!)
We discuss how to implement loops to get much better results from AI systems and how you can optimally build in this phase of the AI revolution
A can't miss episode!

We’re proud to be the gold sponsor for the Voice Hackathon at Waterloo organized by Ian.
After meeting Ian and learning about the community initiatives and personal projects he's built out of pure curiosity and passion for the builders, I knew he was the right person to make it happen.
The caliber of talent from Waterloo is undeniable, and we're excited for this event to be our first touchpoint with the Canadian builder community
@smallest_AI is an ai voice infra company where we build our own models – from STT, SLM, to TTS, and this voice hackathon is directly aligned in our vision of supporting the world's voice AI community and fostering innovation in conversational interfaces.
The Smallest team loves to add a spark to everything we do – our workshops and tracks will reflect our playful culture while ensuring that participants get hands-on, technical learning and support from our team.
Super excited to collaborate with the amazing organizations to make this happen: @mastra, @ToolUsePodcast, sparkcraft, buildersclub, and @akatoshouse.
See you at the Voice Hackathon in Waterloo!

Coming out next Tuesday with a lot of alpha!
Today I worked through 25 tasks, recorded a pod with @MikeBirdTech, had two video calls, posted on X a bunch …
and the whole time was knocking out a couple backlog coding tasks in the Untangle repo.
Wild how you can now code on the side while doing a huge number of other tasks.

Here's a thread with more tips from our time together:

Claude Code is The Everything Agent! 🤯
I met with @MikeBirdTech on @ToolUsePodcast to share advanced @claudeai strategies for:
- building an early version of Jarvis from Iron Man (seriously)
- real-time two-way voice with the terminal (directing agents from anywhere)
- reliable, high quality, multi-session-spanning results
These strategies have unlocked meaningful time with family with or without the screen!
I'm as productive from the gym, kitchen, or car as I am from the desk.
And I'm finally the dad who knows what's going on with my kids' school projects, doesn't miss activities or assignments, and keeps up with the social events!🤘

Why it matters beyond tools? Thread 🧵 1/2

You are not using Claude Code to its full potential!
Neither was I, most people aren't, but @EricBuess knows this tool inside and out
We made a part 2 to the fan-favourite Advanced Claude Code conversation
After watching, you'll be inspired (and informed on how) to make a robust system that can give you your time back so you can focus on what matters most

“Don’t treat models as just the model string. It’s a larger combination of the model + prompt + tools.” 🔥
A super elegant description by @swyx this week in @ToolUsePodcast.
Fire episode. Highly recommend checking it out
