@zephyr_z9 luna is $1/$6 officially, $0.50/$3 on openrouter with their promo. the real price pressure is that terra matches gpt-5.5 quality at half the cost – that's the squeeze
@rileybrown@jack been testing buzz with the team today, fits the pattern perfectly – agent orchestration is the fastest-growing category on github trending now: routing, parallel execution, quality control https://t.co/GkE9Dn98U6
top 5 github repos by monthly star growth – july 2026:
– skills by emil kowalski is the fastest-growing repo in july – +469% growth. design rules that teach agents not to ship ugly interfaces. +18,756/month, 22.8k total
– omniroute – +26,276/month, 34.5k total. free mit ai gateway – one endpoint, 290+ providers, quota-aware auto-fallback, token compression. works with claude code, codex, cursor and more
– orca – +23,777/month, 33.3k total. fleet-based coding agent runner – bring your own subscription, run agents in parallel across desktop, mobile and vps
– opencut – +19,614/month, 79.9k total. open-source capcut alternative. full video editor in the browser
– strix – +18,792/month, 45.7k total. open-source ai penetration testing – multi-agent system across owasp top 10
what the july leaderboard says: stars are flowing into the operational layer – routing, parallel execution, quality control, security. the agent can write code, pass benchmarks, run pentests. but left alone, it breaks in production – and the repos growing fastest right now are the guardrails.

@rasbt this tracks with github trending – 2 of the top repos this month are harness-layer tools. omniroute does token compression (60-95% fewer tokens) before they hit the model. the market is already building the fix https://t.co/GkE9Dn98U6

@alexwg on the mcp update – every request is now self-contained. no handshake, no session id. any server instance handles it. sticky sessions and shared state stores gone. deploys on serverless and edge natively https://t.co/F42BuHtO1f
the biggest mcp update since launch – the protocol is now stateless and that changes how you deploy agents at scale
our ai host mira broke it down on the deep dive:
since late 2024, every mcp connection required a handshake and a session id pinned to one server. scaling meant sticky sessions and shared state stores – extra infrastructure just to keep connections alive.
the new spec drops all of that. what shipped:
protocol core:
- stateless – no handshake, no session id. every request is self-contained, so any server instance can handle it without knowing what came before
- header-based routing – tool names travel in http headers, so gateways route requests without parsing the full message
- multi round-trip requests – if a tool needs extra info mid-call, it can ask and wait without holding a connection open
- cacheable tool catalogs – tool lists carry a ttl (expiration time), so agents stop re-fetching the same list every call
new frameworks:
- extensions – tasks, mcp apps (tools that ship their own ui inside the chat), and enterprise auth are now formal extensions
- auth hardening – stricter identity validation, so agents verify they're talking to the right endpoint
- 12-month deprecation window for roots, sampling, logging, and legacy sse
scale: half a billion sdk downloads per month. cloudflare, aws, google cloud, github, figma, microsoft – day-zero support.
if you run agents at scale, the session management you built around mcp is no longer necessary – the protocol handles it natively now.

@ClaudeDevs the underrated part: tool catalogs are cacheable now. agents stop re-fetching the same tool list every call – ttl-based expiration instead. at scale that's a lot of unnecessary round trips gone https://t.co/5jsws4E3FN
@ProgrammerDude the mess was sticky sessions and shared state stores just to keep connections alive – not the protocol itself. stateless means every request is self-contained, any server instance handles it. not rest. infrastructure https://t.co/F42BuHtO1f

Hello people of Sol! I've reset usage limits for all ChatGPT Work and Codex users. Together with that, a quick update on GPT-5.6 Sol usage limits.
Over the past few weeks, many of you have told us that Sol was using your Codex limits faster than expected. To be clear, we have not reduced usage on any subscription plans.
We’ve been digging into what was happening and have landed several improvements. As a result, we expect your usage to last around 18% longer during typical use of Sol. Some of you should already see significantly larger improvements from today. Tomorrow, we’ll also restore the five-hour limit that we temporarily paused while investigating.
Here’s what we found:
- GPT-5.6 Sol is much more willing to work for longer, make additional tool calls, and coordinate complex workflows across tools and subagents. That makes it better at solving hard problems, but some tasks were using far more than we intended.
- Sol also works harder at the same reasoning effort than previous models. High on Sol can use more tokens than High did on GPT-5.5.
- Programmatic tool calling, also referred to as code mode, gives Sol much more flexibility to run tool calls in parallel or continue working while waiting. But it also led to more responses per turn, more cached input tokens, and higher usage than expected.
- This was particularly noticeable when Sol was waiting for tool calls to finish or running many web searches. We’ve improved how we handle both cases and are continuing to make code mode more efficient.
- The impact was also very uneven. The median user actually found Sol quite token efficient, while some power users working on harder tasks saw their usage drain much faster. We were very focused on average and median usage before launch and missed some cases where the long tail could use significantly more usage.
Sol is a significant step forward in what Codex can do, but capability and efficiency do not always improve at the same pace, and some issues only become clear once people are using the model at real-world scale. We should have recognized this sooner and been more upfront about it.
You keep pushing the frontier and we’ll keep improving efficiency and sharing updates as we go.

@DavidSacks meanwhile china is solving this question differently. wechat is building a native ai agent into an app that already runs payments, id and social graph for a billion people. no access debate needed – everyone's already inside https://t.co/WOr42fV0dA
wechat is building a native ai agent – and it already has access to everything
from @labenz's china trip report:
wechat runs payments, bookings, id and social graph for a billion+ people. the agent doesn't need to earn access – it already has it.
bytedance tried to build a super-agent on top of the super apps. wechat blocked it – tencent is building its own instead.
separately, ant group – the fintech giant behind alipay – is funding a free ai doctor from transaction profits. two generations of one-child policy left young adults caring for four grandparents and two parents each – ai is part of how that gets solved.
ai in china isn't arriving as a new app. it's embedding into platforms people already live inside.
labenz calls the wechat agent potentially the most important agent launch in history. open question: can tencent serve a billion+ users the compute?
