One would think it must otherwise there are all these issues with compiling, signing tc if they don’t have xcode installed etc. I would guess it’s some webview wrapper with a layer to expose desktop app functionality

Or it’s compiled in the cloud?

Fundamentally, the "guessing when its your turn thing" needs to be baked into the model. I think the full duplex mode that Moshi pioneered is probably where the puck is going to end up: https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.00037

A category of SaaS companies are cooked in the age of AI - why not just have the perfect purpose built thing instead of fighting bloated enterprise software with a billion customizations and knobs that makes everything complicated?

I am sure they made a bid. The blog makes it sounds like he talked to multiple labs.

they're (Anthropic) also the ones who have been routinely rug-pulling access from projects that try to jump onto the cc api, pushing those projects to oAI.

Do you have any references for that?

AFAIK Anthropic won't let projects use the Claude Code subscription feature, but actually push those projects to the Claude Code API instead.

I'd like a reference for it being rug pulling. What happened with OpenCode certainly wasn't rug pulling, unless Anthropic asked them to support using a Claude subscription with it.

Technology does not determine the success of a company. I’ve seen amazing tech fail, and things strapped together with ducktape and bubblegum be a wild success.

I have done this integrating wasmtime into a a C++ seastar.io application. I’ll have to write a post about it

https://rockwotj.com/blog/async-wasm-in-seastar/ - been meaning to write about this for a long time. Thanks for the nudge :)

Cool, very interesting, thanks for sharing with us.

Claude is king for agentic workflows right now because it’s amazing at tool calling and following instructions well (among other things)

I've asked Gemini to not use phrases like "final boss" and to not generate summary tables unless asked to do so, yet it always ignores my instructions.

Codex ranks higher for instruction following

I thought everyone was just using open telemetry traces for this? This is just a classic observability problem that isn’t unique with agents. More important yes, but not unique functionally.

Can you explain more how otel traces solve this problem? I don't understand how it's related.

networking costs are so high in AWS I doubt this makes sense

Depends on how data-heavy the work is. We run a bunch of gpu training jobs on other clouds with the data ending up in S3 - the extra transfer costs wrt what we save on getting the gpus from the cheapest cloud available, it makes a lot of sense.

Also, just availability of these things on AWS has been a real pain - I think every startup got a lot of credits there, so flood of people trying to then use them.
