As it offers a massive discount (thanks for pointing me to that @reach_vb). Oh, and WebSocket is now the default (and diagnostic information is logged in the session channel). And yes, context window calculations are wobbly over WebSockets.
fast-agent 0.5.7 is here - it's a big one, and of course has both GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.3-chat-latest support. The default toolset for the GPT models has now changed (partly driven by Qwen 3.5) π
keyboard toggles for changing Service Level, Web Search, Reasoning and Verbosity behaviour (all supported models). GPT-5.4 inherits the "none" reasoning level too (Codex models don't have that). Fast mode is cool, but actually Flex is probably the more interesting for API users
i've just released fast-agent, which might be of particular interest to MCP Server developers to see how different models behave with your Tool Descriptions and so on - or if you want a lightweight way of automating workflows/tests.
I'm excited to share fast-agent: quickly build, test and run MCP enabled Agent Workflows.
it's lets you focus on Prompting, Composing and selecting MCP Servers, with out-of-the box support for the patterns described in Anthropic' s Building Effective Agents paper
Code with Hugging Face Inference Providers and Local Models with llama.cpp. This starts fast-agent preconfigured with a minimal system prompt and token-efficient search tool. New guide below:
it also has open telemetry support built in, so you can drill right in to the details.
go to https://t.co/Jtja3LXYGc to learn more. to run (if you have uvx installed) you can set your api keys and :
uvx fast-agent-mcp --model=<your-model> to get started.
i often need to quickly check out and test mcp servers and how they behave with different models.
fast-agent supports running NPX Servers directly from the command line (as well as uvx, stdio and sse/shttp).
Getting started as simple as:
`uv pip install fast-agent-mcp`, then `fast-agent setup` to create config files, and `fast-agent bootstrap workflow` to create workflow demonstrations

For Agent Application/Workflow developers, the ability to warm-up and prompt agents before, during and after workflows makes tuning and preparing custom runs straightforward.
