GM from @cursor_ai Compile in NYC! My first takeaway is there’s a good deal more I could be doing to parallelize my work with Grok Bot

If you watch one thing today I’d recommend you watch this talk, really interesting points & potential glimpse into the future of software development

Replying to @OpenRouter
@OpenRouter's free model router is very under-utilized, highly recommend to any devs looking to add a simple/free model option to their app(espc. where frontier intelligence isn't required) openrouter.ai/openrouter/fre…

Seeing all these old Apple presentations on my YT feed, just watched this one unveiling the first Apple Watch Always so inspiring to hear about all the craft that goes into net new interfaces/devices and how prime Apple is able to wow the audience with every detail of their presentations so well. Also miss seeing the live presentations & crowd reactions at these Apple events! All very inspiring to see, can’t stop thinking about it youtu.be/5uo5bpDYtIE?is=viZ4…

If there’s one piece of this you should watch it’s the part of the video where Jony Ive does a voiceover of all the watch’s key features & both why those decisions were made/how those decision impact how useful the watch can be, such a masterpiece

For folks running agent harnesses, are you running the agent harness on a control plane/server and then connecting remotely to a VM or are you running the agent directly on a VM? Trying to gauge which one of these is the right approach and what their tradeoffs truly are

What I like about running the agent on a control plane is you can get better durability and can more elegantly handle the state of the VM — the VM is just an execution environment and even if you need to restart it you can feed that agent logs from the last session etc But what I like about running the agent on a VM is that you can just SSH into any machine to set this up *and* it seems better suited to easily run any harness out of the box. Otherwise it might be a bit harder to configure the harnesses tools to use the remote machine. Not too sure which one of these is the best approach, and I’d want to lean on the side of interoperability(easily switching out harnesses or switching from a cloud machine to a local machine), but would be curious to hear from other folks tinkering with this for their own needs 🙏

Really cool stuff going on rn with Minimax H3 Max, scratching the surface of the types of entertainment(and interfaces) a video model like this can afford
Minimax H3 Max has generates video faster than you can watch it so I hooked it to a twitch livestream! Now you can watch infinite interdimensional cable - link to the stream below

Riding the wave and installed Omarchy on an old Mac Mini, really excited about it so far I’ve tried repurposing this machine many times but it all felt too slow or complicated, the Omarchy setup was super fast and I’m enjoying playing around with a new tiling manager/way to use the desktop. Fun times!

Very bullish on @gpudad @KyleNoble and @roborobots!!
Today we're announcing Robo. We build affordable, useful robots that anyone can deploy (get yours below) Our first robot is a wheeled humanoid now deploying in logistics, manufacturing & healthcare. Robots will be everywhere. But first, they have to be affordable and useful.

New blog post: When you give an agent a computah Goes over how we went from early tool calling models to coding agent harnesses with their own computers, what the right execution environment for agents might be(eg. remote machines vs v8 isolates), and the new interfaces that come after the IDE & desktop metaphor xitter.cf/Dylan_Steck/status/208…

Can't say enough about how cool I think it is both that zSwap fully runs on the blockchain and that Freedom Browser can pull content directly from the blockchain without intermediaries - this is the kind of stuff that made me want to get into crypto in the first place

IMO I think it would be sick if even more software & data was stored directly on blockchains, can think of several benefits this would bring

Working on a new blog post for my personal site that's powered my Markdown files, and in the past I would've wanted a custom visual editor for my site but now I just edit the file with a live preview of my app running in the T3 Code desktop app Feels good! New post soon 👀

Also I guess I could've done this in a regular IDE as well, but something about doing it in an agentic desktop app feels quite nice because I can make any other tweaks I need at the same time(instead of needing to make a custom tool for all of this)

I think Fable’s awesome but I’d suspect part of the reason for this is that there are a lot more cost effective models that can do most(or all) of what you need - including open source models! Grok’s new 4.6 model is a great example, really strong and relatively cheap model
NEW from Ramp AI Index: disappointing adoption of Fable 5 We've heard several reasons from businesses...mainly Fable 5 is just too expensive. A model so powerful it was briefly banned, and yet businesses don't think it's worth the price.

I spy three @baseapp (and agentic engineering) legends 👀
After the IDE (2026) A short film about @Coinbase and the work of building software with agents.

Damn, if AWS engineers are having a hard time getting EC2 instances then we’re all in for a rude awakening
