Hot take… isn’t it kinda crazy that nobody is really using AI Agents? I don’t mean software engineers or AI early adopters. I mean “college friends talking about it in group chat,” the feeling you got when everyone started using Instagram or TikTok. These frontier AI models are *insane* (as are the harnesses & tool calls & the like). And every large tech co has an AI agents platform, not to mention all the YC startups doing vertical agents. Yet all of your friends and family outside of tech — who spend all day staring at their iPhones and get paid to work in browser tabs — don’t really care or…

Introducing: Cloudflare Agents

We're bringing together everything you need to deploy and manage hosted agents on Cloudflare, starting with observability. We've spent the last nine years building a developer platform, and agents are the perfect use case. They're really just another type of application, but what you need to build them — model access , durable runtime , orchestration , sandboxed execution , persistent storage — happens to be exactly what we've already built. Now, we’re making it even easier to deploy and manage your agents on Cloudflare. Cloudflare Agents brings all of your deployed agent sessions into a singl…

i always disable all permission checks for my agents - i don't even do auto review. many people saw that in my videos and asked me how i dare do that, and that's actually a really good question on a high level, there are 3 things that allowed me to do that - 1. a mindset shift - my machine is not mine i now treat it as my employee's device. if i hired a human employee and bought a laptop for them, i would never tell them to ask me for approval each time they wanted to run a shell command on it if you worked in IT for any big enough company, you would know that humans destroy their devices a lo…

In defense of not understanding your codebase

As a software engineer, how well do you have to understand your own codebase? My guess is that people who work on small codebases with low-turnover teams (say, Redis or games like The Witness ) would say “obviously you have to understand it completely, otherwise you can’t do good work”. I’d also guess that people who work on large codebases with high-turnover teams (say, the Google web search backend or GitHub) would say “obviously you can’t understand it completely, you just have to do the best you can in your local area”. These are two largely different ways of programming with different met…

Everyone is building LLM routers, we deprecated ours

We don’t believe in model routing anymore. For most use cases, sticking to a single battle-tested model is the best thing you can do. Recently, there’s been huge hype around AI model routers that select the model that will respond to your request on the fly. There have been many launches in recent weeks with similar promises of reducing inference costs. We had our LLM router too, and decided to remove it. Some context first: we launched the Manifest LLM router in March as a key feature in our LLM gateway , and we deprecated it in June , shutting it down for good on September 1st. Our router wa…

The Session You Cannot Take With You

The original promise of an inference API was wonderfully simple: send some input, receive some output. If you kept both, you had the conversation. You could inspect it, archive it, replay it, or give it to a different model. That abstraction was never completely true. Prompt caches live on somebody else's GPUs, tokenization differs between models, and sampling is not reproducible (and quite intentionally so). But the semantic record of a session in the form of a transcript could still belong to the user. A transcript should contain the instructions, messages, tool calls and tool results. Anoth…

We rewrote our agent to run entirely in a Durable Object with Pi, Agents SDK and Code Mode We recently finished moving the camelAI agent off of virtual machines. The agent now runs inside a Cloudflare Durable Object , its filesystem lives in SQLite and R2, and it writes JavaScript instead of bash. Most teams run coding agents in a full Linux VM or container sandbox, and we used to as well. We wanted off VMs because giving every user an always-on machine with attached disk was too expensive to scale. The hard part is that coding agents assume Linux. They are trained to reach for bash, and the h…

AI-safe .env files: Schemas for agents, Secrets for humans.

Software quality now depends on the constraints you set around your agents. When humans manually wrote most of the code we could look at the code itself for signs of quality. Is it clean? Is it thoughtful? Is it fast? Can another engineer understand it? Does it have tests? Agents can now generate more code than people can read. When code generation scales beyond review, quality - checks for one or more of correctness, maintainability, security, performance etc - increasingly has to live somewhere else. It moves into the harness, environment and operating system around the agent. This can be th…

Ontologies Are So Back: Why AI Agents Are Reviving the Semantic Web

One of the most watched videos from the recent AI Engineer World’s Fair is a 20-minute talk by Frank Coyle , a professor of computer science who currently teaches generative AI and LLMs at UC Berkeley. Drawing on his decades of experience, Coyle re-introduced the concept and practice of ontologies to today’s AI engineers .

Building and operating software today spans local machines, remote hosts, sandboxes, services, and production systems. It has many modes of operation: interactively with a human developer, automatically through CI and background processes, and increasingly through agents working in parallel. This work is all related, yet today's tools divide it into separate systems. Interactive tools assume a person at an interface. Automatic work disappears into jobs and logs. And as the work moves to production it lives behind separate systems and controls. AI makes this fragmentation more visible and costl…

Our position on open-weights models

A post by Dario Amodei, Anthropic CEO Over the last few days there has been a lot of discussion about open-weights models, especially those from China. Reports suggest that some US officials are considering banning the use of Chinese open-weights models by US companies. In response, many tech companies have signed a letter supporting open-weights models, and some people have even accused Anthropic of wanting to ban open-weights models as a means of protecting our business. Anyone who has read my past writing should know that I don’t regard such bans as a useful measure, but let me state it cle…

This week I wrote about why intelligence isn't the only bottleneck to real-world progress & why overlooking the others leads many "AGI-pilled" people to mistaken conclusions about the future. New research from the @stripe Economics team shows how this looks in practice. TLDR is that so far, the "micro-productivity" gains (so increase in productivity on specific tasks) that we see due to AI are not causing the macro-productivity gains one would expect. Of course, this is just the beginning and it is likely that as time passes, organizations will learn how to convert the micro-productivity gains…

The new rules of context engineering for Claude 5 models I’ve written previously about how to best prompt the newest generation of Claude 5 models and work with them iteratively to discover what you want to build.

Much of your context is assembled from your system prompt, Skills, CLAUDE.md files, memory, and other sources. We call this context engineering , and it makes a big impact on the results you generate when using Claude Code or in building your own agents. Unlike a prompt, context is used gen…

Prompt Caching In Agents

Large language models are often thought of like functions: send in some text, receive some text. That is a useful abstraction, but it ignores one of the most important parts of running a coding agent: most of the input is the same as last time. In other words we mostly append to it. A coding agent sends the model its system prompt, tool definitions, project instructions, conversation history, tool calls, and tool results. On the next turn it sends almost all of that again, plus a small amount of new material. Once a session has grown to tens or hundreds of thousands of tokens, recomputing the…

pro tip - when you use OpenAI's gpt models in Codex, it uses a server-side encrypted compaction that seems to work better than anything else out there, which allows Codex to just keep hammering on long running tasks like there's infinite context window that's great, but if you run gpt in other harnesses like Pi, most of them don't inherit that by default, resulting in worse performance in long running tasks but - because of how extensible Pi is, i just found this cool extension from @alexisgallagher that enables the same server-side compaction in Pi - https:// github.com/algal/pi-opena i-serve…

Dean W. Ball @deanwball Dean W. Ball @deanwball Some observations on Kimi: 1. It's a very good model! I don't think its performance can be explained away by distillation or anything like that. In agentic coding sessions, it seems pretty much on par with the best public models of Q1 2026. In my fairly limited use, it also seemed very token hungry. It's not obvious to me that this model is actually that cheap to run. 2. I am personally surprised the Chinese state continues to allow the open sourcing of models this good, given potential risks. To be clear, I *myself* might be fine with models pre…

Get agents off your machine Even though we are living in 2026, it feels like folks have forgotten the lessons of 2006: software belongs in the cloud, not on individuals’ desktops.

You get control over software versions and a single source of truth for company data. You get a basis for building automations and infrastructure that scale. These lessons apply as much to coding agents as they do to your CRM, but for some reason we need to go th…

Agent swarms and the new model economics · Cursor

Earlier this year, we ran experiments to test the limits of scaling agents to cooperate toward a goal. Our hypothesis was that this would unlock a new tier of task scale and complexity. The flagship project was a long-running swarm building a web browser from scratch . It succeeded as a proof of concept, but fell far short of polished software. That work was deliberately empirical. We started from a blank canvas and hill-climbed toward a stable, effective system . Since then, our goal has been to understand the agent swarm well enough to engineer it deliberately. To test that progress, we retu…

Repost Go to PiCodingAgent r/PiCodingAgent • 11h ago Multi-agent can be useful. But for most tasks, a single agent is better. It is easy to assume that using multiple agents will save time and improve quality. In practice, it can cost more time and tokens, and sometimes produce worse results. Running more agents is not free parallelism. It adds coordination overhead. Single-agent is usually better for simple tasks, small tasks, and work where dense context matters. If one agent can hold the relevant context and finish the task coherently, there is usually no reason to split it up. Multi-agent…

Translated from Chinese Show original Here's a practical summary from the Pi community. In one sentence: it clarifies when to use multi-agent and when not to—single agent suits simple tasks and work requiring dense context; multi-agent fits large tasks that need to be split into independent parts—but you'll bear the costs of context transfer, redundant work, and orchestration yourself. The author also built a pi-workflow tool that standardizes multi-agent workflows into reusable pipelines using JSON specs.

Look at the past history of this blog. There are many blog posts about programming with AI, a few of them date back to January 2024 (like this: https://antirez.com/news/140 ). I’m a relatively well regarded programmer, after all. I don’t have the need to still be in the “loop” as a old man that seeks for relevance, I recently rejoined Redis, and now I also am developing a new open source software for local LLM inference that received a good welcome in the community. Why I keep doing this, of saying what people don’t want to hear? Why I keep announcing how future programming will be by default?…

addicted to using boomerang mode (aka reverse D-Mail) in Pi these days. ctrl+alt+b enables it for the next prompt submitted -> after the prompt runs, it rewinds back to the same point with file changes intact + leaves a summary in the feed so the agent knows what happened. using it often can make the context window feel nearly unlimited.

The Reverse Information Paradox In the age of intelligence, how should firms protect their core IP? Nobel Prize winning economist Kenneth Arrow famously described a paradox in the market for information. “Its value for the purchaser is not known until he has the information, but then he has in effect acquired it without cost.” In Arrow’s “Information Paradox,” the seller risks giving away knowledge in order to sell it. AI creates the reverse problem. In the AI age, the buyer risks giving away knowledge, just in order to use what they bought. You essentially pay for intelligence twice, once wit…

Better tools made Copilot code review worse. Here's how we actually improved it.

Give an agent better tools and it should do better work. That’s the instinct, anyway. When you open a pull request, Copilot code review reads the diff and explores the surrounding code to find the problems that matter before they ship. To do that, it used its own code exploration tools. So when we swapped in the better-maintained, shared tools that power the Copilot CLI, grep , glob , and view , we expected a clean upgrade. Instead, in our benchmarks, we found that the cost of reviews was higher and fewer issues were being caught. But the tools weren’t the problem. The instructions were. Once…

So this is my personal experience with using them, on and off, over the past 4 weeks or so. In this memo, I will start with a more general introduction and go through the factors that influence the viability of these models for coding. I…

How LLMs Actually Work

Monday. June 01, 2026 - 26 mins Machine Learning Transformers LLM Neural Networks AI This post is a walkthrough of how LLMs work. Modern LLMs are mostly built by stacking transformer blocks over and over, so understanding the transformer machinery gets you most of the way there. I’ll cover the core mechanisms inside modern transformer-based LLMs, without all that sticky math stuff. Don’t get me wrong, you should learn the math, but this can serve as an introduction. Most modern LLMs share the same transformer-family skeleton. The differences come from what each one was trained on, the scale an…

TTS doesn't suck anymore

About 6 months ago I wrote a small rant on how open source TTS models still sucked . 6 months later, I'm happy to report that isn't the case anymore. January this year, Qwen , the famous Chinese AI lab, released Qwen3-TTS , an open-weights series of TTS models. The release included 2 CustomVoice models (pre-made voices + style control), 2 base models (zero-shot voice cloning + fine-tuning), and a VoiceDesign model (create voices from descriptions). With a 0.6B and a 1.7B variant - they're all quite small. Qwen3-TTS in a nutshell. credits . There are a lot of things to like. First, it fully sup…

Agent Harness Engineering A coding agent is the model plus everything built around it. Harness engineering treats that scaffolding as a living artifact, tightening it every time the agent makes a mistake. Simply put: whenever an agent fails, you engineer a permanent solution so it never makes that exact mistake again. For the last two years, the industry has debated models: which is the smartest, which writes the cleanest React, or which hallucinates the least. While that conversation matters, it misses the other half of the system. The model is merely one input into a running agent. The rest…

Learning on the Shop floor Years ago I wrote about my apprenticeship in Germany . I dropped out of school at 16 and went to work at a Siemens subsidiary, where the most interesting people sat in the basement and used Delphi instead of the corporate-mandated Rosie SQL (both pretty much lost to time and progress). I learned to be a programmer by watching them. By making them coffee. By hanging around long enough that their judgment seeped into mine. I have been thinking about that experience a lot in the last year, because we built something at Shopify that runs on the same principle. She's call…

Introducing Cline SDK: the upgraded agent runtime, and we rebuilt Cline upon it

Before “agents” became a buzzword, Cline was the first real agentic coding experience. Cline started with the VSCode extension and helped a generation of developers step into AI coding. It was a great VS Code extension, but as the technology evolves, it also taught us something uncomfortable: the architecture that got us there was not the modular and extensible framework we would choose for what comes next. It was definitely the cost of being early. We started where many early agent products did: inside the product surface itself. The extension came first, and the agent loop grew inside it as…

Multi-Agents: What's Actually Working months ago, I wrote Don't Build Multi-Agents , arguing that most people shouldn't try to build multi-agent systems [1].

A lot has changed since then. At Cognition, we've begun to deploy multi-agent systems that actually work in practice.

Best practices for using Claude Opus 4.7 with Claude Code

Opus 4.7 is our strongest generally available model to date for coding, enterprise workflows, and long-running agentic tasks. It handles ambiguity better than Opus 4.6, is much more capable at finding bugs and reviewing code, carries context across sessions more reliably, and can reason through ambiguous tasks with less direction. In our launch announcement , we noted that two changes—an updated tokenizer and a proclivity to think more at higher effort levels, especially on later turns in longer sessions—impact token usage. As a result, when replacing Opus 4.6 with Opus 4.7, it can take some t…

Prompt caching in LLMs, clearly explained A case study on how Claude achieves 92% cache hit-rate Every time an AI agent takes a step, it sends the entire conversation history back to the LLM. That includes the system instructions, the tool definitions, and the project context it already processed three turns ago. All of it gets re-read, re-processed, and re-billed on every single turn. For long-running agentic workflows, this redundant computation is often the most expensive line item in your entire AI infrastructure.

Your harness, your memory Agent harnesses are becoming the dominant way to build agents, and they are not going anywhere. These harnesses are intimately tied to agent memory. If you used a closed harness - especially if it’s behind a proprietary API - you are choosing to yield control of your agent’s memory to a third party. Memory is incredibly important to creating good and sticky agentic experiences. This creates incredible lock in. Memory - and therefor harnesses - should be open, so that you own your own memory Agent Harnesses are how you build agents, and they’re not going anywhere The “…

How Meta Used AI to Map Tribal Knowledge in Large-Scale Data Pipelines

AI coding assistants are powerful but only as good as their understanding of your codebase. When we pointed AI agents at one of Meta’s large-scale data processing pipelines – spanning four repositories, three languages, and over 4,100 files – we quickly found that they weren’t making useful edits quickly enough. We fixed this by building a pre-compute engine: a swarm of 50+ specialized AI agents that systematically read every file and produced 59 concise context files encoding tribal knowledge that previously lived only in engineers’ heads. The result: AI agents now have structured navigation…

Building CLIs for agents If you've ever watched an agent try to use a CLI, you've seen it get stuck on an interactive prompt it can't answer, or parse a help page with no examples.

You Need to Rewrite Your CLI for AI Agents

Human DX optimizes for discoverability and forgiveness. Agent DX optimizes for predictability and defense-in-depth. These are different enough that retrofitting a human-first CLI for agents is a losing bet. I built a CLI for Google Workspace — agents first. Not “built a CLI, then noticed agents were using it.” From Day One, the design assumptions were shaped by the fact that AI agents would be the primary consumers of every command, every flag, and every byte of output. CLIs are increasingly the lowest-friction interface for AI agents to reach external systems. Agents don’t need GUIs. They nee…

An agent harness is the orchestration layer around an agent: the runtime that constructs context, executes tool calls, enforces guardrails, and decides when each loop iteration should continue or stop. If the model is the “reasoning engine,” the harness is the operating system and control plane that makes the engine useful, safe, and repeatable in production.

The paper says the best way to manage AI context is to treat everything like a file system. Today, a model's knowledge sits in separate prompts, databases, tools, and logs, so context engineering pulls this into a coherent system. The paper proposes an agentic file system where every memory, tool, external source, and human note appears as a file in a shared space. A persistent context repository separates raw history, long term memory, and short lived scratchpads, so the model's prompt holds only the slice needed right now. Every access and transformation is logged with timestamps and provena…

Agent Harness is the Real Product Everyone talks about models. Nobody talks about the scaffolding. The companies shipping the best AI agents today- Claude Code, Cursor, Manus, Devin, SWE-Agent all converge on the same architecture: a deliberately simple loop wraps the model, a handful of primitive tools give it hands, and the scaffolding decides what information reaches the model and when. The model is interchangeable. The harness is the product. Here is the evidence: Claude Opus 4.5 scores 42% on CORE-Bench with one scaffold and 78% with another.

The left is missing out on AI

It was a wake-up call to those not in the tech industry about how AI has hit this inflection point, since December 2025.

A simple framework to build Agentic Systems that just works I've been building agentic systems for a couple of years now. For Youtube, for Open Source, for my SaaS, for my office.

If you convince yourself that all you are building is an art…

The third era of AI software development When we started building Cursor a few years ago, most code was written one keystroke at a time. Tab autocomplete changed that and opened the first era of AI-assisted coding. Then agents arrived, and developers shifted to directing agents through synchronous prompt-and-response loops. That was the second era. Now a third era is arriving. It is defined by agents that can tackle larger tasks independently, over longer timescales, with less human direction. As a result, Cursor is no longer primarily about writing code. It is about helping developers build t…

Joy & Curiosity #76

This week I found myself writing code by hand again. Not a lot, maybe ten, twenty lines in total, which is far less than what I had Amp produce, but still: actual typing out of code. Miracle I didn’t get any blisters. At our Amp meetup in Singapore I mentioned this on stage and someone in the audience cheekily asked: “You just told us that these agents can now work well when you give them a longer leash and yet you wrote code by hand, how come?” The answer can probably be boiled down to something that sounds very trite: to build software means to learn. When you build a new piece of software,…

Lance Martin @RLanceMartin Sal DiStefano reposted Lance Martin @RLanceMartin Give Claude a computer TL;DR – Programmatic tool calling (PTC) is an interesting capability in Claude Opus/Sonnet 4.6. Instead of making tool calls that each round-trip through Claude's context, Claude writes code that can orchestrate tool calls directly inside a container. Intermediate tool results return to the code, not Claude’s context window. This reduces token usage and improves performance on multi-step tasks like search. Opus 4.6 with PTC recently scored #1 on LMArena’s search benchmark . See our docs to learn…

Stop Using /init for AGENTS.md

TL;DR: A good mental model is to treat AGENTS.md as a living list of codebase smells you haven’t fixed yet, not a permanent configuration. Auto-generated AGENTS.md files hurt agent performance and inflate costs by 20%+ because they duplicate what agents can already discover. Human-written files help only when they contain non-discoverable information - tooling gotchas, non-obvious conventions, landmines. Every other line is noise. There’s a ritual that’s become almost universal among developers adopting AI coding agents. You set up a new repo, run /init , watch the agent scan your codebase, an…

The Future of Software

February 25, 2026 The world of software is undergoing a shift not seen since the advent of compilers in the 1970s. Compilers were the original vibe coding : they automatically generate complex machine code that human programmers had to manually write before. Over time, compilers became fully trusted, nobody has to look under the hood, most programmers won't understand a thing. Are AI coding agents the new compilers? Will we simply trust whatever code they generate? In this post I focus on two questions: In what language(s) are we going to express our intent? How will humans tell AI agents what…

A simple tool called bash is often enough. Whether you show LSP diagnostics here or there is dwarfed by what these models can do through sheer brute force. As long as it mostly gets out of the way, nearly any agent can get good results out of them. Th…

Simulator Theory — LessWrong

Simulator Theory (in the context of AI) is an ontology or frame for understanding the working of large generative models, such as the GPT series from OpenAI. Broadly it views these models as simulating a learned distribution with various degrees of fidelity, which in the case of language models trained on a large corpus of text is the mechanics underlying the process that generated that corpus, which may be understood as the people writing, or the dynamics they write about. It can also refer to an alignment research agenda, that deals with better understanding simulator conditionals, effects o…

What started with solving small, scoped problems with Claude Code turned into a big shift. And I’m not alone in this. Friends and colleagues are seeing the same thing. The wider circle is starting to follow. This isn’t an early-adopter curiosity anymore, it’s becoming how people work. Over the winter holidays I decided to go all-in. One side project, built entirely…

Token Anxiety A friend left a party at 9:30 on a Saturday. Not tired. Not sick. He wanted to get back to his agents. Nobody questions it anymore. Half the room is thinking the same thing. The other half are probably checking the progress of their agents. At a party. All the parties are sober now. Young people don't drink because they're going back to work after. Not inspired by Bryan Johnson, although that's probably a factor. The buzz they want now runs on tokens per day. I keep noticing it on walks through the Mission. Laptops glowing everywhere. Cafes, sidewalks, heck even park benches. Peo…

Semantic ablation: Why AI writing is boring and dangerous

opinion Just as the community adopted the term "hallucination" to describe additive errors, we must now codify its far more insidious counterpart: semantic ablation. Semantic ablation is the algorithmic erosion of high-entropy information. Technically, it is not a "bug" but a structural byproduct of greedy decoding and RLHF (reinforcement learning from human feedback). During "refinement," the model gravitates toward the center of the Gaussian distribution, discarding "tail" data – the rare, precise, and complex tokens – to maximize statistical probability. Developers have exacerbated this thr…

Two different tricks for fast LLM inference

Anthropic and OpenAI both recently announced “fast mode”: a way to interact with their best coding model at significantly higher speeds. These two versions of fast mode are very different. Anthropic’s offers up to 2.5x tokens per second (so around 170, up from Opus 4.6’s 65). OpenAI’s offers more than 1000 tokens per second (up from GPT-5.3-Codex’s 65 tokens per second, so 15x). So OpenAI’s fast mode is six times faster than Anthropic’s 1 . However, Anthropic’s big advantage is that they’re serving their actual model. When you use their fast mode, you get real Opus 4.6, while when you use Open…

Orchestrate AI Coding Agents

Coding agents are reliable enough to be the default: We've built and tested coding agents for years and realised recently that reliability crossed an invisible threshold that means we now prefer starting most tasks with coding agents. Coding agents are going to get much better: Coding agents have improved rapidly, and we expect this trend to continue. Imagine that in six months, 50% of the current failure modes of coding agents will get fixed, and six months after that another 50%. What will we (engineers) be spending our time on in that world? What tools would help us do that work most effici…

But most of us weren't paying close attention. The stock market was doing great, your kids were in school, you were going to restaurants and shaking hands and planning trips.

I Started Programming When I Was 7. I'm 50 Now, and the Thing I Loved Has Changed

I Started Programming When I Was 7. I'm 50 Now, and the Thing I Loved Has Changed I wrote my first line of code in 1983. I was seven years old, typing BASIC into a machine that had less processing power than the chip in your washing machine. I understood that machine completely. Every byte of RAM had a purpose I could trace. Every pixel on screen was there because I’d put it there. The path from intention to result was direct, visible, and mine. Forty-two years later, I’m sitting in front of hardware that would have seemed like science fiction to that kid, and I’m trying to figure out what “bu…

AI introduced a new rhythm in which workers managed several active threads at once: manually writing code while AI generated an alternative version, running multiple agents in parallel, or reviving long-deferred tasks…

How Generative and Agentic AI Shift Concern from Technical Debt to Cognitive Debt

read The term technical debt is often used to refer to the accumulation of design or implementation choices that later make the software harder and more costly to understand, modify, or extend over time. Technical debt nicely captures that “human understanding” also matters, but the words “technical debt” conjure up the notion that the accrued debt is a property of the code and effort needs to be spent on removing that debt from code. Cognitive debt , a term gaining traction recently, instead communicates the notion that the debt compounded from going fast lives in the brains of the developers…

Engineering for Bounded Cognition

The mind that builds software is far smaller than the software it builds, and almost everything good in engineering is a way of living with that gap. You've probably heard that the mind can hold seven things at once. It's the most repeated figure in popular psychology, and the man who came up with it didn't actually believe it. George Miller called his 1956 paper "The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two" half as a joke. He wrote that the way the number kept showing up across experiments that had nothing to do with each other was probably just a coincidence, and at one point he said he felt…

Don't think of LLMs as entities but as simulators. For example, when exploring a topic, don't ask: "What do you think about xyz"? There is no "you". Next time try: "What would be a good group of people to explore xyz? What would they say?" The LLM can channel/simulate many perspectives but it hasn't "thought about" xyz for a while and over time and formed its own opinions in the way we're used to. If you force it via the use of "you", it will give you something by adopting a personality embedding vector implied by the statistics of its finetuning data and then simulate that. It's fine to do, b…

Architecting efficient context-aware multi-agent framework for production

The landscape of AI agent development is shifting fast. We’ve moved beyond prototyping single-turn chatbots. Today, organizations are deploying sophisticated, autonomous agents to handle long-horizon tasks : automating workflows, conducting deep research, and maintaining complex codebases. That ambition immediately runs into a bottleneck: context . As agents run longer, the amount of information they need to track—chat history, tool outputs, external documents, intermediate reasoning— explodes . The prevailing “solution” has been to lean on ever-larger context windows in foundation models. But…

What I learned building an opinionated and minimal coding agent

2025-11-30 It's not much, but it's mine In the past three years, I've been using LLMs for assisted coding. If you read this, you probably went through the same evolution: from copying and pasting code into ChatGPT , to Copilot auto-completions (which never worked for me), to Cursor , and finally the new breed of coding agent harnesses like Claude Code , Codex , Amp , Droid , and opencode that became our daily drivers in 2025. I preferred Claude Code for most of my work. It was the first thing I tried back in April after using Cursor for a year and a half. Back then, it was much more basic. Tha…
