AI Agents
Check my personal site, i promise i will update 😉

I definitely believe cloud agents are the next problem that needs to be solved, since they will also define what the next generation of cloud infrastructure looks like. I’ve spent the last few months getting started on this with Tetral, which is fully open-source: https://t.co/EJZuHUs9XP

I think that in this era, open-sourcing the code isn’t enough anymore. Or I should say, letting people know how every decision is made has become more important than ever. So I strongly recommend reading this blog post: https://t.co/7FjjRv8FSv

I’m grateful to the authors of every blog post I mentioned in the piece. This wouldn’t have been possible without your work.

I want to keep exploring the next generation of cloud agents. If you’re interested in this project, please don’t be shy about joining me on GitHub!

for everyone who wanna to try Gemini 4, Droid is the one! i'm pretty exciting to try Droid again

[Ben Tossell @bentossell]

i got the job!

first thing i stole was this $200 credits link https://t.co/kykIpSKYNv

Introducing Gemini 4 Argon – our new frontier model.

It’s built for complex workflows across coding, enterprise knowledge work, and cybersecurity defense – rolling out today to a set of trusted testers through our Fairwind Program.

We are terminating Chris Degnan for unethical conduct involving Cognition.

The last few months have seen incredible progress in AI capabilities. San Francisco has flourished as new companies that solve new, more ambitious problems are finding great success. Generally, it is a wonderful time to be building.

We at @FactoryAI have seen overwhelming interest in our model-agnostic coding agents and our software factory product. Our team has 10x’d in size, while our revenue has 100x’d year over year. This momentum has been unprecedented.

A much larger competitor, Cognition (makers of Devin) has fallen behind us on the capabilities that matter most to customers: cost, quality, and security. Instead of competing in the market, Cognition engineers feigned interviews with us to pry information about our product. Not finding what they were looking for, Cognition has decided to throw their weight and money at people with direct knowledge of our most confidential plans.

It feels as though ethics is being thrown out of the window in the AI era. People are willing to do anything, including exploiting privileged information and violating ethical boundaries. I think this is unique to our time, and I don’t think it’s right. Integrity still matters.

Yesterday, I made the decision to immediately terminate Christopher Degnan’s roles as a Board Observer and Advisor to Factory, after over a year of service.

Prior to this decision, Chris told me he had a casual conversation with an executive at Cognition AI. When I questioned his intentions, he reassured me that ethics aside, he had “made too much money” and was “too lazy to go work for Cognition,” which I trusted and believed.

On Monday, Chris spent time advising the Factory team on a handful of confidential board-level matters. That evening, he called me to say that the conversation that was initially described as casual and one-off was actually formal and recurring. For weeks, while he sat in our board meetings and advised our leadership team, he was also confiding with executives of our largest competitor. Chris was subject to confidentiality obligations in connection with his work with Factory. We do not know the extent of the information he shared, but it puts his timely questions about our product roadmap and what the parity gap involves into a new light.

It is sad to sever a relationship with someone who has been a trusted advisor - and even a close friend - for over a year. But Chris’s conduct is unacceptable to me. Trust in Board Membership is one of the sacred bonds in the Silicon Valley, one that helps the startup ecosystem thrive. With it comes an enormous responsibility. That trust was violated.

Competition is good. I respect and in many cases admire our competitors. San Francisco is a beautiful, singular place where the bold and ambitious go to defy the norms and precedents of the past. But certain principles that must remain. Violating ethics to seek advantage turns what should be positive-sum into zero-sum.

We all love technology. And we all love to compete. But we must hold ourselves to a higher standard. The future of software engineering comes with abundance that will impact every person on Earth. Building that future comes with immense responsibility. We must build and compete with integrity.

I also have a little announcement for DevDay. I asked Tibo to include it in the presentation but he didn't read my slack DM 😭

My first onboarding project is merged. I fixed this issue once and forever! I reduced amount of disk writes by 50% and the size of stored files by 4x

[Leo @YangLi_leo]

@Yuchenj_UW so that's why oai's dev day is trying so desperately to cut developers' usage and burn some more money to normal users, at the end of the day, they wanna to be a giant more than coding agent

[Leo @YangLi_leo]

@nichochar i just wonder what's your take on space, which is a potential competitor with Notion

[Leo @YangLi_leo]

@fiapp_pro 6.1 sol和astra相比有啥优缺点？

[Leo @YangLi_leo]

@flrande 这要追的话其实最早的是A\的managed agent sdk，这也是我的项目选择用它作为interface的原因，设计的时候考虑得很周到，版本控制，vault等等

[Leo @YangLi_leo]

所以确实只要做的足够慢，就不用加花里胡哨的东西了🤣

当时做自己的harness的时候就已经发现模型虽然有时用todo list，除了ui上一目了然之外，对最后结果已经没啥影响了，当机立断选择没做lol

[yetone @yetone]

是的，现在还有 todo list 的 harness 基本上都是上一代产品

[Leo @YangLi_leo]

@arkuy99 acp希望定义行业标准，可能看到mcp的成功感觉自己行了，没想到各个原厂看都不看，最后变成了追着别人修自己的接口，这个loop就循环下去了

[Leo @YangLi_leo]

Why? I think they don’t want to be remembered just as a chatbot forever. They want to be deeply integrated into users’ daily lives, which means both the product form and their marketing strategies have to evolve. As a developer, I hate seeing my Codex credits burn faster than ever, but honestly, it’s the right move.

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Launching a new Codex Cloud, much improved from last year. With configurable cloud environments, it’s impossible to go back to building on your laptop once you’ve taken the time to configure it.

Agents API, the same tech powering all our cloud agents, including dots, is also now in preview and supports computer use. It allows you to build the same incredible products we are making available today.

[Leo @YangLi_leo]

没啥说的了，精准预测，OpenAI dots也是完全基于自家的Agent API构建的，cloud agent api一定会替代传统的各类精细控制的api打包出售

从Managed Agents SDK出来的第一天，它设计的全面性，几乎覆盖了所有痛点，几乎对我来说是一个完美的解，A\今年最大的前瞻是在三月就能做出开这么完备的体系，同时这也是claude code之后的另一个爆点

当然tetral会持续适配和优化Managed Agents SDK compatible端口，在目前包括codex在内的开源的agent也开始把很多工具迁移到云端，agent之间加密通讯，保持一个开源的路径给大家探索还是很重要的

[Leo @YangLi_leo]

I think when Anthropic released Managed Agents, most people dismissed it as no big deal. But trust me: as all kinds of local workflows migrate to the cloud, scaling agent teams in a stable environment is definitely going to be a huge deal

[Leo @YangLi_leo]

看来OpenAI是把最近市面上火的东西全部做了一遍，jev也没能幸免

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

Decisions API, for lightning fast constrained decision making powered by Luna. Supports visual inputs, and tuned to be able to make decisions in less than a few hundreds of milliseconds end to end.

[Leo @YangLi_leo]

@Zen_with_AI omg，这和我的想法可以说是一模一样了，已经在往这个方向做了，有兴趣的话可以看看： https://t.co/Vkr6KdZhkM，我是几乎完全基于这个理念写了一套自己的cloud agent runtime

[dax @thdxr]

for arguments sake let's accept that spending a lot of tokens is truly more productive

we're in a weird stage where early stage startups are disadvantaged. they cannot afford to do this

it's reverting back to the days when you had to raise money to buy servers to even launch

[Leo @YangLi_leo]

@truerickc137 我是合成数据门外汉，只是当时有过一点想法，但真的就停留在想法阶段lol因为从来参与过training infra的搭建
看到DSec之后还挺意外的，他们把agent loop放进了sandbox，就是为了保证数据在sandbox里，我的理解是

[Leo @YangLi_leo]

@KakaluoteW45042 兜兜转转agent只要还是一个软件，那就不可能超越之前的设计哲学，说多了都是泪😂
