It's happening... That cost is real. The token savings are real. The speed improvement is real. My harness is *reliably* doing its work and coordinating. Not just coding. I've generalized *the entire under-the-hood* language and semantics to be *domain-agnostic*. Months of work.
Now *this* is a prototype. I'm running Rehex at its lowest level, as if an AI agent would. I'm using pen and paper, pretending to be an orchestrating agent. It's cheap and fast. Tests a few critical questions and hopefully save me a ton of headaches.
If this works, it’ll solve so many issues, especially around gaining any meaningful provisioned/sandboxed access to frontier models. Tried launching Claude/Gemini via GCP/Azure and it’s a complete nightmare (unless you presumably have an enterprise account with Google/Microsoft).
Well, I’ve been on a #AI side quest. I’m back at developing my coding agent. After listening to so many interviews with the founder of Claude Code, I’ve got a clear angle now — my coding agent will excel at 6-month old cheaper models.
My coding agent will not beat Claude and CC, but will it sure deliver some great results for a fraction of the price and speed. What’s meta about all of this — I’m specifically using Claude/Opus to (help?) write it. I feel like this is the Wendy’s to the McDonalds…
You don't need permission to test your ideas.
Not from your boss. Not from investors. Not from anyone.
You can give yourself permission to try whatever the hell you want.
The biggest barrier isn't resources - it's confidence.
Stop waiting. Start building.
I spoke to @_hq's Intro to Entrepreneurship class @UTKnoxville this morning. Aside from answering the "usual" questions about startup investing, I thought they should know a couple other things:
Proud to be working on the branding and art for @whatsthecares, a six-part webinar series presented by @_hq, Adrienne Webster, and @CityKnoxvilleTN. It focuses on sharing pertinent information on the ever-evolving Cares Act. Check out the website, for a wealth of information!
