Building for agents. gives your agents a portable file system. lets them build apps and experiences with simple markdown.

I’ve been thinking about why AgentsFS feels powerful.

For models, test-time compute means the model spends more tokens thinking during the response.

For agents, the equivalent isn’t just “think longer when asked.” Instead, it’s doing useful cognitive work between requests: summarizing what happened, compressing raw material, resolving contradictions, writing durable briefs, cleaning up stale notes, and leaving the next agent a better starting point.

That changes the shape of “memory.”

A lot of agent memory today is either hidden memory in the agent harness, raw chat history, or bigger context windows. Useful, but incomplete.

Agents don’t just need more context. They need better future context.

Frontier models get better by spending more tokens reasoning at inference time.

Agents get better by spending more time improving the environment they’ll infer from next time.

That means turning messy inputs like docs, transcripts, or failed attempts into concise, accurate, source-cited, up-to-date notes the next agent can actually use.

https://t.co/Nabcx4aCiE is just a very simple to understand, completely local, lightweight implementation of a filesystem where agent knowledge can compound.

I got Omarchy running on my iPad, Pixel, and M4 Max MacBook Pro 🤯

It can basically run anywhere and is super responsive. The trick was that I set up a VM on AWS and can attach to the same computer on any device through Moonlight + Tailscale. Same files, same apps, same session.

I built software around it to adapt the desktop to different screen sizes, get keyboard shortcuts and inputs working correctly, and automate the AWS setup. Plus a web dashboard for starting, stopping, pairing devices, and tracking estimated costs.

Really love this idea: your device becomes a window into a computer you can take anywhere.

Still experimenting, but it’s working. DM or reply to this thread if you’re interested in trying it!

Thanks @dhh for creating this exciting OS.

@swombat @derekmross @swombat sharing one path to get Omarchy on your phone. Different from running it natively but still potentially interesting. https://t.co/d0DEzLZXVB

Been using Muse for the last few days. Truly great. Only thing is, I find myself being super careful with what I share. Compared to my OpenClaw for some reason I have a mental block with giving Meta access to my Gmail.

It’s great but hard to get over the negative mark from the bad rep Meta has built over the years.

Also interesting to see how much the @verge’s coverage was almost entirely about how Meta is spying on us over the last few days…

I get the hype about Jev and the tech is real. But one thing I’m personally missing is a measure of how accurate it actually is.

Surely there must be tons of classification and ranking evals we can apply Jev against to get some baseline of how good it actually is at decision making.

@Cloudflare Flue’s logo is exactly the same as @Figure_robot’s logo?

@blbraner https://t.co/4mUQKcTlIU has all the details including direct links to Moonlight. It’s a guided installation where most of it is automated.

@VincentLi1981 Thank you for sharing! It was a bug on my end with a false error message. Should be fixed now

[Seeking Gradient @seekinggradient]

@Opp_Knox @pepehaider Thanks for sharing! I’m also a fan of @flydotio. I actually wrote this article a couple months ago: https://t.co/BKOA9MDuC3

[Seeking Gradient @seekinggradient]

I've been running a persistent Firecracker VM per user in production. This thread is what that taught me about the three ways to give an agent a computer — and why they are not interchangeable.

Start at the bottom. A Fly Machine is a lightweight VM booted from a container image. To update it, you don't log in and patch anything — you build a new image and replace the machine. Every machine is a fresh, identical copy of the image.

@flydotio @vercel

It’s an awesome idea. You should consider installing Sunshine and Moonlight on your machines Riley. That software was initially created for streaming games so it’s super low latency. I’ve been experimenting with something similar, here’s a pointer in case it’s helpful: https://t.co/vIgWZ4DiC7

Okay, here's what I've been working on: Cloud Window 🙂 https://t.co/SuuIaWf1OY

After the last demo, a bunch of you asked how to try it. I've been making the setup easier, and the first DIY release is now available.

An Omarchy desktop in your own AWS account, streamed to your iPad, phone, or laptop. Same files, same apps, same session.

I really love using this on the iPad. Here's a look at the experience, with the setup walkthrough below.

Thanks Sean. The challenge with Hetzner is that they seem to have more capacity in Europe, concerned about the network latency there. I'll definitely look into Cloudflare too. The economics of this are worth investigating, and maybe it starts to make more sense if we pool more capacity upfront. AWS is more expensive than I thought it would be, but that's mostly because of network egress.

[Seeking Gradient @seekinggradient]

@naman34 Fair point. I find myself using scrolling a lot (just press Super + L). I really like scrolling and it's great that Omarchy has both

[Seeking Gradient @seekinggradient]

@pepehaider It ended up being cheaper than the other hyperscalers and they had more widely available GPU capacity to reduce network latency

[Seeking Gradient @seekinggradient]

Totally possible to make it work with a local server. Cheaper too, that's my next project -- all the work I did to make this particular image and configuration work fluidly on AWS transfers well to a local server.

I had to do a bit of custom work to make it authenticate with tailscale, sunshine, etc. right out of the box, and that all transfers super well to a local server.
