@abram2k1 @mcgeedan42 Lol, no. On most jobs we are cheaper. For enterprise we generally prefer flat rates well below what people pay on GH Runners / Blacksmith so our profit margins are based on how efficient we make the CI. CI runners being paid by the minute means they want your runs to be long.

[Benjamin McIntyre @benmac006]

@hey_itsyash @mcgeedan42 Yup! Blacksmith focuses on raw hardware, which isn't enough to keep up with AI CO/CD demands. We re-build everything w/ no bars held: Linux Kernel, Compilers, Testing Libraries, and a users flakey tests / code.

@techpoto @mcgeedan42 @ycombinator For our optimizations that can get 10x+ RN we support Go, Rust, Python, JS/TS, and Java. Everything else usually gets about 2x optimizations, though we can go figure out how to get other frameworks setup for our systems if need be!

[Benjamin McIntyre @benmac006]

@LaneHenslee @mcgeedan42 We can! Enablement usually depends on if our A/B tests come out faster on it.

[Benjamin McIntyre @benmac006]

@Hussein__khidr @mcgeedan42 Generally, we've been building out as much infra to get latency as low as we possibly can. On our systems cold start is not very representative. We have hooks for agents so we can warm our runners in anticipation of a PR or CI job.

@crescentforeal God, I remember back in middle school if I didn't have my laptop I'd write python in my notepad so I could type it into a file when I got home.

@mathewpregasen llms.txt putting in the work, I'll check it out.

@mathewpregasen Finally liberated from the tyranny of having to open my web browser to fix my marketing. This will be huge for us!

[Benjamin McIntyre @benmac006]

@RISHilift @mcgeedan42 Exactly, our goal is honestly to get every run to sub 10s so CI functions as real time feedback for agents instead of a checkmark at the end of a job.

[Benjamin McIntyre @benmac006]

@LaneHenslee @mcgeedan42 Yup! We'd love to work with you guys on getting everything optimized for your runs!

[Benjamin McIntyre @benmac006]

@mathewpregasen @mcgeedan42 Thanks!

[Benjamin McIntyre @benmac006]

@NikolasSapa @mcgeedan42 @ycombinator Thanks!

[Benjamin McIntyre @benmac006]

@isausmanov Super excited for the future of mobile. What's been the biggest boon for your workflows?

[Benjamin McIntyre @benmac006]

@SethSchilbe @mcgeedan42 Big box with fast cores ain't got shit on re-writing the Linux kernel to get CI timew down.

[Benjamin McIntyre @benmac006]

@SamuelMCho @mcgeedan42 Means alot coming from a legend such as yourself.

[Benjamin McIntyre @benmac006]

@PandelisZ @mcgeedan42 Thanks!

[Benjamin McIntyre @benmac006]

@Hussein__khidr @mcgeedan42 This one was actually a cold run! Compilation cost us about 50 seconds on our 2 min 53 second job. Speedups came from our splitting system and increased parallelization.

[Benjamin McIntyre @benmac006]

@matiasdrejer @mcgeedan42 Thanks!
