@lawrencecchen @cmuxdev Lets say I'm vibe coding and im bored, i want to say, use cmux cli open up my minecraft world and go gather some wood for me using cmux cli. then the ai will do that.

@benswerd @cmuxdev >chrome extensions soon >vscode extensions? you can kinda do it already (cmd shift p -> open folder in vscode inline) >Minecraft in a workspace? elaborate

When will @cmuxdev support chrome extensions? When will @cmuxdev support vscode extensions? When will @cmuxdev support running Minecraft in a workspace? These r the questions. @lawrencecchen

@dexhorthy Indeed

@benswerd Vaibhav Gupta? The type king of Seattle?

Bro: Stop slop Also bro: all variables should be strings don't bother with types

@dexhorthy Bro isn’t u bro is ur bro bro

@benswerd i never said that!

@vaibcode Agents are becoming more multi modal, the newest deep seek encodes image positions directly into context, as they become smarter I think specificity has more and more advantages because the smarter models can take advantage of it

@benswerd the purist in me completely agrees with you, but the main thing i'm thinking about is how agent <-> agent comms is best as a string. and as more software becomes agent, doesn't that say strings everything at the limit?

As models get smarter, the need for type safety goes away. String everything kind of scares me.

@epochster @rseroter Ftr I included the “bias much” note to make my bias clear, doesn’t make me wrong

@rseroter @benswerd Funny how every API design manifesto ends with the author's own product winning.

Designing APIs for Agents freestyle.sh/blog/opinion/d… < that human-friendly API with lots of default values, swallowed errors, and simple variable names? Build better/different APIs for agents, says @benswerd.

Does anyone I know use blackbox[ai]? I've seen there buses, billboards, and marketing of 100M users, but im confused what they do/why to use them.

@lawrencecchen this is incredible and very surprising

We made cmux's sidebar fast Previously, the sidebar would lag because of issues in our SwiftUI <> AppKit sidebar virtualization We completely refactored the sidebar from SwiftUI to AppKit, and now it's pretty fast! Out in v0.64.20

One more note on this: After initial Fable implementations I'll often run a Codex model with a prompt along the lines of "What are opportunities to replace our custom implementations with pre-existing packages". If I try this with Claude models they tend to say "our implementation is special and perfect there are no packages". I'm planning to experiment with adding Grok to this workflow as well, though I haven't let it touch the freestyle.sh primary repo yet because of data privacy concerns.

The Grok 4.5 model is clearly a bit behind Opus 4.8 at raw implementation power, but something I've felt using is is that its really good at integrating with other APIs/systems. A great small example I noticed recently, when I asked Opus to pull the google icon from simple icons it searches by "Google" and pulls [0]... which gets it the Google Classroom logo, which it doesn't notice or check. Today I noticed Grok do the same thing, except in its script it printed out the icon name, noticed its mistake and corrected it. I think you can feel how offline the RL environment is by the AI's relationship with 3rd party dependencies, Opus clearly was finetuned offline, Codex seems to have some offline tendencies but far fewer than Opus and Grok seems really good at working with them.

@CookieDuster_N Agree or disagree?

Designing APIs for Agents Good design for agents is not the same as good design for humans. freestyle.sh/blog/opinion/d… by @benswerd

October.dev builds a visual system for ur agents, check it

@anshnanda not 100% but solidly high percent

@benswerd Was this fully vibe coded?

Any brainless users out there? Send what you made and I'll retweet it

@rammcodes Aye I have a name

Bruh... someone recreated the UI of Claude Code, Codex & Grok as reusable ShadCN components. 🤯 This open-source library lets you drop beautifully recreated AI interface components straight into your own apps or CLI projects. You'll find components for: → prompts & chat messages → tool calls → code diffs → permission dialogs → todo lists → slash commands → and much more... Perfect if you're building AI apps, terminal UIs (TUIs), or CLI-based developer tools and don't want to build everything from scratch :) Source 🔗: github(DOT)com/theswerd/brainless Follow me for more amazing AI, Coding & Web Dev insights 💎

Read the Grok Build Codebase recently, the agent is called: MvpAgent They're just getting started

@ShubhamInTech Bro go back to that cut
