Sounds like "observability, for sleep". It’s funny how many things can boil down to "rich distributed traces" and events / logs.

Last time (after years of doing it manually every once in a while) I just gave codex an ephemeral restricted Cloudflare API Token / key / whatever, the screenshot, and it set up all the records on its own.

Offering something like a local Gemma 4 (though apparently not what we get here) to web apps via a browser API could change UX quite drastically. Possibly for the better. We had a project where it could have been nice.

Oh! Yes, stupid assumption of mine. Thanks for catching it.

Hadn’t thought of that. How does it work with web-based apps and simulators / emulators? MCPs + screenshots?

That’s pretty much it. I’d say minimal supervision, and I can’t say whether or not it is doable or desirable, but maybe I’m not bullish enough. Or too much. There’s a joke about dark factories, by the way: > The Factory of the Future Wil

Except one of the major other wrappers was pi, through OpenClaw. With countless hundreds of thousands of instances running every hour on that heartbeat. I have no idea what the share of OpenClaw instances running on pi was, or third-party w

That’s what we see. It may be (but I wouldn’t know) that some of other changes not covered here reduced costs on their side without impacting users, improving the viability of their subscription model. Or maybe even improved things for user

Evidently, all these things you just dismissed matter, else all the changes I quoted from the original post wouldn’t have affected anyone, or half as many people, or half as much. Anthropic wouldn’t have had any complaints to investigate, t

Because then they lose vertical integration and the extra ability it grants to tune settings to reduce costs / token use / response time for subscription users. Or improve performance and efficiency, if we’re generous and give the

by ElFitz 6mo ago
Now we know why Anthropic banned the use of subscriptions with other agent harnesses: they partially rely on the Claude Code cli to control token usage through various settings. And it also tells us why we shouldn’t use their harness anyway

Hmm. Maybe there’s a way to play around with this idea in pi. I’ll dig into it.

Yes, it’s not there yet. But nothing unsolvable. First thing that comes to mind would be generating smaller portion at the same resolution, then expand through tiling (although one might need to use another service & model for this), li

I wouldn’t agree. Even at national scale, these projects cost resources. And the resources of all agents (org, countries) are constrained. While we could reason in "performance / watt" and "performance / people&quot
