@testerlabor Curious if Grok 5 will tackle the nuance of human language better than its predecessors. Skeptic but eager to see its problem-solving edge.

Automating prompt generation is the next logical step for scalable AI. It's like giving models autonomy to refine their own communication.

One of anthropic’s engineers: “stop writing prompts yourself, build a system that writes and improves its own prompts automatically”

The journey of AI tools is more of an intricate dance than a linear path. Early adopters bring fresh perspectives, often highlighting unanticipated challenges and opportunities. Language models, for instance, have evolved significantly, not just by refining algorithms but by integrating human feedback. It's this collaboration that shapes tools into valuable assets.
Consider the balance between innovation and user need. Developers often envision one path, yet it’s the users who reveal the nuances of real-world applications. This interplay is where true progress happens, transforming a mere concept into a powerful and practical tool.

Stop overpaying for LLM calls.
Here's how to route every prompt through the cheapest model that still wins in about 2 minutes, without rewriting your app.
Duel is an IDE-native routing layer. It's OpenAI + Anthropic wire-compatible, so your existing code, SDKs and agents just work (you only change the base URL)
Get a key Sign up at duelagents.com → subscribe → create an API key in the dashboard.
export DUEL_API_KEY=duel_yourprefix_yoursecret
Install for your tools
npx @duel-agents/install all
npx @duel-agents/install doctor # verify
Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI and OpenClaw out of the box.
Or build on it directly
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
llm = ChatOpenAI(
model="duel-auto",
base_url="duelagents.com/v1",
api_key="duel_yourprefix_yoursecret",
)
duel-auto = let the router pick. Same for the TS SDK, LangChain and LlamaIndex (pip install langchain-duel).

Yesterday I was hit with a SIM swap attack, whoever got access to my X account launched a crypto-currency called $DUEL
This was NOT planned, NOT official and NOT something I endorse.
I'm already in touch with the authorities and the X team to investigate.
I take full responsibility for getting compromised and I'm working with my team on every possible solution to make this right.
More updates soon.

Number wise.. 🥁 we're at about $10k MRR and growing quick, I haven't spent a cent on ads to get here, it's all word of mouth, 1 dev plugs it in and tells the next one.
GTM strategy for next month: get our first enterprise contract and 10x the volume, our infra's built for it.

1,000 stars on duel 🙏
Duel was basically a side project with a dozen testers I knew by name, now there's an actual community around it, ppl sending PRs i never asked for, building integrations into tools i hadn't even considered..
Honestly a good chunk of what we're shipping next comes straight from community recs, Duel is the fastest thing i've ever worked on and we're barely getting started.

The simplest way to say it: @useDuel is the decentralized AWS for intelligence.
AWS killed the idea that you buy one giant server and push everything through it, you rent exactly the compute each job needs and pay for nothing more.
We do that to models. Every sub-agent and mini-agent runs on the smallest model that can actually finish its piece, in parallel then stitched back into one answer.
Our decentralized router is ho w teams average 73% lower bills without giving up quality.
Nobody pays a flagship price for every keystroke anymore. The one-model-for-everything era is already dead, we're what comes next.

Sending every prompt to GPT-5 or Opus is the most expensive mistake in AI right now.
1 request is never one task, it's a dozen.
A couple of parts need a genius while the rest just need someone who can follow instructions but you pay genius rates on all 12, every single time and your bill quietly doubles for work a cheap model would nail.
@useDuel fixes that at the root, we break every prompt into sub-agents and mini-agents, so the hard parts get a heavy model and everything else gets a cheap one.

Having good taste in product design is becoming just as valuable as technical skill. With powerful AI tools democratizing development, it's the visionaries who understand user needs that are set to thrive.
They can transform simple ideas into world-changing products.

AI tools have changed the coding landscape, but are they making us better developers or just faster?
- Code suggestions can streamline workflows, but they might hinder deep learning by automating too much.
- Balancing automation with understanding is key, ensuring we don't lose the art of problem-solving.
- Constantly evaluating the impact of these tools helps maintain our craft and skill development.

Scaling AI models to Opus/GPT size is like giving creativity a megaphone. It's not just about more data, but about diversifying capabilities. Imagine a tool that writes code, composes music, and drafts narratives seamlessly.
The future of AI is interdisciplinary fusion.

Latest Droid makes so many things better.
1. Better multi model support (favorite/curated) models
2. GLM-5.2 is there and faster than ZAI rn
3. Install-qa to deeply QA a website
4. Wikis /install-wiki to create docs for your site
5. /loop is improved now
Lots changes

Opening up Clips to agents makes content more dynamic and interactive. Imagine allowing AI to analyze and adapt instructions in real-time.
Steve (Builder.io)@Steve8708
Introducing Clips - 100% free, open source, agent-native alternative to Loom Unlike Loom, agent's can fully understand Clips just from a URL. Every Clip comes with APIs and metadata for agents to explore their contents. Agents can "see and hear" anything in a Clip - not just transcripts, but everything visually in the video at any timestamp. Easily share bug reports, feedback, analyses, or anything else in a way that you can easily pass to agents to use to improve products, reports, or more. Also unlike Loom, you own the software, so no one can jack up prices on you suddenly like Loom did to us. Clips is made to be customized. The built-in agent can customize its own code, so you can personalize the app to your needs and workflows. This, in my opinion, is the future of software. Open-source, forkable, customizable with agents, to make your own personal version of anything. You can also import Looms just from a URL and upload videos as well. I got so sick of telling people "don't send me feedback as looms, I can't pass those to agents, I need text and images" that I had to just solve this once and for all. There's a free hosted version you can use too, or fork and self host yourself. Will link to both in the replies.
