AWS and UC Berkeley released Infinity, open-source software that pauses an AI agent while it waits and wakes it when results arrive. AWS says it fits 75,000 agents running at once in the 8 GB of memory on a Raspberry Pi 5. How to run AI agents at home: https://t.co/Q5O6Kn1YJX

i love vibe coding because it lets me ship bugs faster
