launching acyclic labs (yc f26) more agents doesn't mean faster work. we built open-source infra to run 10,000 agents in one session and immediately hit the real wall: models today can't split work or share state without stepping on each other so we built SwarmBench to score coordination, RL envs to train it, and the runtime to actually run thousands at once the next leap isn't smarter single models, it's getting 10,000 of them to actually work together

Our product(like every product now) is changing super fast, and making launch/demo videos was taking long and videos became obsolete quite quickly So we made an internal app, called Studio, that basically renders real UI in SVG the agent can capture and animate/edit however it sees fit Is not only incredibly convenient but also crazy satisfying to create videos for basically anything This video was also made using that lol

I think it comes down only for graphics and performance, for this style of game three.js is arguably the best option until you actually introduce multiplayer and people start cheating etc
why are people using 3js instead of a game engine? is 3js just that superior

Well 30% for Steam is a lot, but thing is, without Steam he would probably not even get the $73K You can have the best game in the world, in the best vibe coded Steam alternative of all time, if nobody is there to see it and find your game, it has no value Distribution is everything, tech is just a commodity nowadays
Brutal reality of making 500K on Steam as a game dev

Yeah because this 100% hits the same as Kurzgesagt 😅
Kurzgesagt has 25M subs. Millions of views on EVERY single video 🤯 nobody copies them for a reason: one video takes 1,200 hours and a studio of 50+ animators. we rebuilt their format with Opus 5.5 + @HyperFrames_ Studio. 100% code. a full 11-minute explainer. made in ~2 hours. under $50. want the template? we’re open-sourcing it for free 👇

I'm all for AI don't get me wrong, and probably in today's age Kurzgesagt uses AI in their process, but their time is mainly spent on: - First, actual research with professionals, real evidence and people's life experiences - Second and most importantly, storytelling. The way you frame content and narrates the story is what makes it engaging and special This looks good visually but doesnt have even a fraction of the engagement and satisfaction a Kurzgesagt video has

You know you are allowed to like stuff and not have your life revolve around it right
No disrespect to anyone, but I don’t really get how people don’t just grow out of this stuff. When I was 8-15 my life REVOLVED around Marvel, Star Wars & Harry Potter. But I grew up. At some point, you just grow out of this stuff

Actually loved Framer and it elevated my career but at this point, is there any real advantage in using it in comparison with just cuck coding with Claude?
The Framer MCP is here. Design, build, and update your site with AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and Grok. Without giving up Framer’s flexibility, reliability, and control. framer.link/mcp

You know my CTO is cracked because his profile picture is AI generation of himself and not some furry bullshit
many people have been asking about the software factory we've built for tracelight, so here it is. there's been a lot of talk about these lately. building ours has led us to some strong opinions that i haven't seen discussed.
