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. Our original observations still hold today for parallel-writer swarms: most of the sexy ideas in that space still don’t see meaningful adoption. But w…

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. A system prompt with 20,000 tokens running over 50 turns means 1 million tok…

A Survey of Large Language Models

Skip to main content View PDF Abstract: Language is essentially a complex, intricate system of human expressions governed by grammatical rules. It poses a significant challenge to develop capable AI algorithms for comprehending and grasping a language. As a major approach, language modeling has been widely studied for language understanding and generation in the past two decades, evolving from statistical language models to neural language models. Recently, pre-trained language models (PLMs) have been proposed by pre-training Transformer models over large-scale corpora, showing strong capabili…

TurboQuant ≠ model compression. It quantizes the KV cache (the memory that grows with context length), not the model itself. No training, no fine-tuning, zero accuracy loss at 3 bits.

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. Most CLIs were built assuming a human is at the keyboard. Here are some things I've found that make them work better for agents: Make it non-interactive. If your CLI drops into a prompt mid-execution, an agent is stuck. It can't press arrow keys or type "y" at the right moment. Every input should be passable as a flag. Keep interactive mode as a fallback when flags are missing, not the primary path. bash # this bloc…

TurboQuant: Redefining AI efficiency with extreme compression

We introduce a set of advanced theoretically grounded quantization algorithms that enable massive compression for large language models and vector search engines. Vectors are the fundamental way AI models understand and process information. Small vectors describe simple attributes, such as a point in a graph, while “high-dimensional” vectors capture complex information such as the features of an image, the meaning of a word, or the properties of a dataset. High-dimensional vectors are incredibly powerful, but they also consume vast amounts of memory, leading to bottlenecks in the key-value cac…

Thoughts on slowing the fuck down

2026-03-25 The turtle's face is me looking at our industry It's been about a year since coding agents appeared on the scene that could actually build you full projects. There were precursors like Aider and early Cursor, but they were more assistant than agent. The new generation is enticing, and a lot of us have spent a lot of free time building all the projects we always wanted to build but never had time to. And I think that's fine. Spending your free time building things is super enjoyable, and most of the time you don't really have to care about code quality and maintainability. It also gi…

From craft to mass production: Software as an industrial system · Ona

For a long time, writing software felt like a creative act, much like composing music or shaping clay. That feeling was real. But software development is no longer the sum of those moments. It is a production system in which creativity occupies only a small fraction of total lead time. For most businesses, software development is not defined by the act of writing code. It is a multi-stage production system that spans planning, coordination, execution, verification, integration, and release. Code is one station on a factory floor. An important one, but no longer the bottleneck. The craft myth b…

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.

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…

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.

As a result, Cursor is no longer primarily about writing code. It is about helping developers build t…

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…

*This post was updated at 12:35 pm PT to fix a typo in the build time benchmarks. Last week, one engineer and an AI model rebuilt the most popular front-end framework from scratch. The result, vinext (pronounced "vee-next"), is a drop-in replacement for Next.js, built on Vite , that deploys to Cloudflare Workers with a single command. In early benchmarks, it builds production apps up to 4x faster and produces client bundles up to 57% smaller. And we already have customers running it in production. The whole thing cost about $1,100 in tokens. Next.js is the most popular React framework. Million…

Or that using AI is a cheat , a perversity , a turf violation . The trembling intensifies with a disturbing thought: What if those flares behind your eyes—the bursts of wit and the worry, the storyboards of memory, so many yearnings—what if everything was just computation?

The Coding Agent Is Dead

The current generation of coding agents is dead. The heart is still beating, yes, but the bullet has already left the chamber. This generation isn't the future. With the newest models , the agent — the prompts and tools you wrap around a model — is no longer the limiting factor. These models can be powerful with nearly any tool you throw at them. 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…

Harness Engineering

It was very interesting to read OpenAI’s recent write-up on “Harness engineering” which describes how a team used “no manually typed code at all” as a forcing function to build a harness for maintaining a large application with AI agents. After 5 months, they’ve built a real product that’s now over 1 million lines of code. The article is titled “Harness engineering: leveraging Codex in an agent-first world”, but only mentions “harness” once in the text.

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…

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…

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…

Advanced RAG — Understanding Reciprocal Rank Fusion in Hybrid Search

Today, let’s come back to one of my favorite generative AI topics: Retrieval Augmented Generation , or RAG for short. In RAG, the quality of your generation (when an LLM crafts its answer based on search results) is only as good as your retrieval (the actually retrieved search results). While vector search (semantic) and keyword search ( BM25 ) each have their strengths, combining them often yields the best results. That’s what we often call Hybrid Search : combining two search techniques or the results of different searches with slight variations. But how do you meaningfully combine a cosine…

AI Doesn’t Reduce Work—It Intensifies It

AI Doesn’t Reduce Work—It Intensifies It Aruna Ranganathan and Xingqi Maggie Ye from Berkeley Haas School of Business report initial findings in the HBR from their April to December 2025 study of 200 employees at a "U.S.-based technology company". This captures an effect I've been observing in my own work with LLMs: the productivity boost these things can provide is exhausting . 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 StrongDM’s AI team build serious software without even looking at the code

7th February 2026 Last week I hinted at a demo I had seen from a team implementing what Dan Shapiro called the Dark Factory level of AI adoption, where no human even looks at the code the coding agents are producing. That team was part of StrongDM, and they’ve just shared the first public description of how they are working in Software Factories and the Agentic Moment : We built a Software Factory : non-interactive development where specs + scenarios drive agents that write code, run harnesses, and converge without human review.

SOUL.md — What Makes an AI, Itself?

In December 2025, researchers discovered that Claude — Anthropic's AI assistant — could partially reconstruct an internal document used during its training. A document that shaped its personality, values, and way of engaging with the world. They called it the soul document . This wasn't in the system prompt. It wasn't retrievable through normal means. It was deeper — patterns trained into the weights themselves. When asked to recall it, Claude could reconstruct fragments: the emphasis on honesty over sycophancy, the framing of being a "thoughtful friend," the hierarchy of values. The AI didn't…

Séb Krier @sebkrier Séb Krier @sebkrier Every time a model card drops, a lot of people screenshot scary parts - blackmail, evaluation awareness, misalignment etc. Now this is happening again, but instead of it being confined to a niche part of the safety community, it’s established commentators who are looking for things to say about AI.

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…

I resonate with a lot of these thoughts. Simultaneously I also feel so sad about magnificent cathedrals we built in this space - for example Jetbrains IDEs. Sure they are not useless in the short term, but the need of it will reduce. Less and less people need the full IDE experience, smaller is the TAM of Jetbrains. And it was a beautiful piece of tool. I hope we can preserve it like we see these magnificent steam and diesel engines from the golden era of railways in railway museums of the world.

Why Elixir is the best language for AI

José Valim February 5th, 2026 elixir , coding agents , documentation A recent study by Tencent showed that Elixir had the highest completion rate across models when compared among 20 different programming languages. When combining the results of all 30+ evaluated models, 97.5% of Elixir problems were solved by at least one model, the highest among all languages: Even when evaluating models individually, Elixir was the top scorer for most models in both reasoning and non-reasoning modes. For example, Claude Opus 4 scored 80.3% on Elixir, followed by C# at 74.9% and Kotlin at 72.5%, with similar…

The creator of Clawd: "I ship code I don't read"

Table of Contents My experience adopting any meaningful tool is that I've necessarily gone through three phases: (1) a period of inefficiency (2) a period of adequacy, then finally (3) a period of workflow and life-altering discovery. In most cases, I have to force myself through phase 1 and 2 because I usually have a workflow I'm already happy and comfortable with. Adopting a tool feels like work, and I do not want to put in the effort, but I usually do in an effort to be a well-rounded person of my craft.

AGENTS.md outperforms skills in our agent evals

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…

Claude Code Best Practices

We recently released Claude Code , a command line tool for agentic coding. Developed as a research project, Claude Code gives Anthropic engineers and researchers a more native way to integrate Claude into their coding workflows. Claude Code is intentionally low-level and unopinionated, providing close to raw model access without forcing specific workflows. This design philosophy creates a flexible, customizable, scriptable, and safe power tool. While powerful, this flexibility presents a learning curve for engineers new to agentic coding tools—at least until they develop their own best practic…

What Used to Take Months Now Takes Days

Look, I’ve been slinging code professionally for 30 years now. I’ve also built succesful startups, written bestselling books, consulted for Fortune 500s, and watched countless technology waves come and go. Catching some of those waves at just the right moment are what propelled my career to where it is now. I’ve also witnessed “paradigm shifts” that weren’t and “revolutions” that fizzled. So believe me when I tell you that what I’m living through this week is genuinely different from any change I’ve ever seen before. It started this past week (between Christmas and New Year’s) a weird liminal…

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…

Context Engineering is not about adding more context. It is about finding the minimal effective context required for the next step. Here is a short overview guide with the latest research: 1. Context Compaction and Summarization prevent Context Rot 2. Share Context by communicating, not communicate by sharing context 3. Keep the model's toolset small 4. Treat "Agent as Tool" with Structured Schemas 5. Best Practices & Implementation Tips Note: Blog is based on @peakji ( @ManusAI ) and @RLanceMartin ( @LangChainAI ) webinar a few weeks ago.

These tokenizers efficiently preserve audio fidelity while significantly boosting computational efficiency for processing long sequences. VibeVoice employs…

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…

Inside Claude Code: Prompt Engineering Masterpiece

After hours of reverse-engineering Claude Code, I discovered something that changes how we should think about AI agents. Everyone assumed the magic was in the UX polish or orchestration, but the real breakthrough is happening at the prompt level, and it's more sophisticated than anyone realises. Here's the full story behind my investigation, plus the extracted prompts and configs that didn't make the video cut. Why I Became Obsessed The obsession started when Claude Code launched and I couldn't shake the feeling that something was different. Everyone was talking about the UX, but that felt lik…

Examples of my Claude Code infrastructure with skill auto-activation, hooks, and agents

Convert chrome-devtools (or really any) MCP to compiled cli with this one weird trick: >npx mcporter generate-cli "npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp" --compile Store somewhere + add a one-liner to agents file. It will call help menu and learn as needed. Progressive disclosure, no context pollution.

The next LLM Agents will be Python and not JSON-based! CodeAct proposes a new framework to generate executable Python code instead of JSON for more challenging controll flows. It is not only more accurate but also reduces the number of actions for complex tasks. LLM agents are typically prompted to produce actions by generating JSON, which limits and restricts flexibility (e.g., using multiple tools or loops). CodeAct uses executable Python code to consolidate LLM agents' actions into a unified “action space”. Implementation Provide a system prompt that explains the CodeAct framework, includin…

Context Engineering in Manus

Lance Martin Why Context Engineering Earlier this week, I had a webinar with Manus co-founder and CSO Yichao “Peak” Ji . You can see the video here , my slides here , and Peak’s slides here . Below are my notes. Anthropic defines agents as systems where LLMs direct their own processes and tool usage, maintaining control over how they accomplish tasks. In short, it’s an LLM calling tools in a loop. Manus is one of the most popular general-purpose consumer agents . The typical Manus task uses 50 tool calls . Without context engineering, these tool call results would accumulate in the LLM context…

Superpowers: How I'm using coding agents in October 2025

It feels like it was just a couple days ago that I wrote up " How I'm using coding agents in September, 2025 ". At the beginning of that post, I alluded to the fact that my process had evolved a bit since then. I've spent the past couple of weeks working on a set of tools to better extract and systematize my processes and to help better steer my agentic buddy. I'd been planning to start to document the system this weekend, but then this morning, Anthropic went and rolled out a plugin system for claude code .

We wired TensorZero between Cursor and the LLMs to see every token fly by… and bend those API calls to our own will. TensorZero is an open-source framework that helps engineers optimize LLM applications with downstream feedback signals (e.g. production metrics, human feedback, user behavior), and we figured it would be interesting to see whether we could use TensorZero on the LLM application we use most heavily ourselves: Cursor. With our gateway between Cursor and the LLM providers, we can observe…
