Meta's clearly changing strategies back towards their original "frontier open source", but this time around they have a lot more competition from leading Chinese labs. I'm all for it though, and I think Glimmer is a fant

The web, at least on the interface side, is really easy to customize these days. Agents are pretty good at spinning out Chrome extensions. e.g. you can easily reduce the intensity of feed-based UI by removing thumbnails, grayscaling, etc.

Last I heard, everyone at Meta was using Claude Code. Any insiders know how Muse Code is doing internally?

This is effectively a Codex/Claude app competitor. Good move from Cloudflare since it helps them sell their core infra offerings. I like the direction they’re going with access control.

Cloudflare's in a good position to be an agent infra provider. Durable objects and serverless/workers are great agent primitives. It makes sense that they're leaning into an all-in-one platform play, i.e. if you use DOs, you
