Straight cooking new landing page for lightfast.ai

everyone should read Functional Programming in Scala

it’s hard to feel the agi moment happening bc we’re too close to the problem space. today I rebuilt a project that took me 2 month sometime in Nov 2024 in less than 8 hours. moments like these puts things into perspective

@trychroma incredible work keen to give this a run

Introducing Chroma Context-1, a 20B parameter search agent. > pushes the pareto frontier of agentic search > order of magnitude faster > order of magnitude cheaper > Apache 2.0, open-source

@anuraggoel In the future, GitHub is just going to be an abstraction layer that only agents interact with for core software development primitives.

AI is quietly deprecating GitHub. Agents do not need branches, PRs, or CI/CD rituals. They want to ship code straight to the cloud. The rsync renaissance is here. High availability. Zero bloat. Faster loops.

@BenSabic @vercel thanks mate! thats plenty. basically just approaching it like how one would with a code repository. seems doable.

@jeevanpillay @vercel Let me know how you go! With large datasets, the performance will also depend on how you have it structured. Little nesting, clear names, and small files will go a long way. Best way to look at it: if it's easy for a human to find something, then it'll be easy for the AI.

Most knowledge agents start the same way. You pick a vector database, then build a chunking pipeline. You choose an embedding model and then tune the retrieval parameters. I recently authored this piece on the @Vercel blog, breaking down a different and better way you can create knowledge agents. Powered by Vercel Sandbox, Workflows, Chat SDK, and more. h/t @hugorcd for creating the beautiful template that led to the creation of this blog post. vercel.com/blog/build-kno…

@DhravyaShah cooking bro congrats

Oh it would be interesting to plug a memory store on top of this (post retrieval) and everyone gets their own arxiv bookmark list

@vercel_dev amazing stuff. takumi been one of my favs recently.

We launched the Vercel Open Source Program last April to give maintainers the resources, credits, and support to scale. Meet our Winter 2026 cohort ↓ vercel.com/blog/vercel-op…

@somi_ai @mattpocockuk pretty much what I’ve been doing too

@mattpocockuk yeah we've been leaning into subagents for this. keep each one under 50K for sharp reasoning, parent agent coordinates with the full context. treating 1M as a coordination layer instead of a thinking layer changes the whole workflow.

Doing some experiments today with Opus 4.6's 1M context window. Trying to push coding sessions deep into what I would consider the 'dumb zone' of SOTA models: >100K tokens. The drop-off in quality is really noticeable. Dumber decisions, worse code, worse instruction-following. Don't treat 1M context window any differently. It's still 100K of smart, and 900K of dumb.

@mattpocockuk Decent success w HumanLayers research codebase, create_plan, implement_plan, and the 1M context. Treat 1M context as ‘context passing’ between subagents. And force 1M context agent to use AskUserQuestions. 1M Context should make no decisions, just orchestrate decisions a Task

Omg it’s happening

@OhAnotherAlt @trq212 same thing rip time to go touch grass

@trq212 got booted out of Claude code and now your auth service isn’t working to reconnect. are you guys aware? status page saying all operational, but it’s broken here

@claudeai @Grok what is this in Melbourne time

How it works: - 2x usage on weekdays outside 5–11am PT / 12–6pm GMT - 2x usage all day on weekends - Automatic, nothing to enable

A small thank you to everyone using Claude: We’re doubling usage outside our peak hours for the next two weeks.

@yo @browsercompany great round 3

Please don't tell me @browsercompany is shutting down Dia and making a 3rd browser

@hthieblot Second time founder, first time solo founder. It gets better. Lots of ups and downs but eventually you learn to trust your instincts. Be obsessed with the unknown.

The early founder years are one of the most stressful phases of life. Most are really not talking about it. - Some friends are climbing the corporate ladder and taking crazy vacations. - Someone just bought their first home - Someone already feels “settled” And you’re still trying to turn an idea into a company. At the same time: - Your bank account keeps shrinking - Investors keep saying “too early” - users never seem to care and retain on your product - People around you don’t fully get what you’re building - your mom ask when you will get a real job - Nights are full of overthinking - The runway clock keeps ticking - Time feels like it’s moving too fast yet progress is slow And the hardest part? - You smile to your friends and family - You say “things are going well.” - At 2 AM you wonder if this will ever work. But remember: - You’re not behind, you are on a different path - You’re doing something incredibly hard If you’re in this phase, be impatient for actions, patient with results and don’t give up. Building something from zero takes time. Anyone else feeling this lately? ✋

@zaimiri should rebrand to OpenWorm

OpenClaw just got attacked. 40,000 systems compromised. A flaw dubbed “ClawJacked” allowed full agent takeover. But this isn’t just a bug. It’s a vulnerability chain that let any website silently take full control of your AI agent. No plugins. No extensions. No user interaction needed. Which means: > Malicious sites could steal data. > Delete emails (Meta execs already hit). > Disrupt services. Give this post to your agent and tell then to fix this backdoor ASAP.

@ryanlpeterman Done

@jeevanpillay Great! You can sign up here if you're interested in the product We will launch on kickstarter soon read.compose.llc/p/our-keyboard…

I quit the best job I ever had to try and build what I wish existed in the world. Two projects I'm working on now: 1. The Peterman Pod - When I first started at Meta, the career stories of incredible engineers always inspired me. I aim to share transparent career stories that I wish I had more of back in the day. There are still many engineers who are heros to me that I'd love to bring on the show one day! 2. Compose - I could never really find what I wanted so I'm building the ergonomic keyboard I wish existed. Pictures of our prototype here: read.compose.llc/p/our-keyboard… I've earmarked ~6 months of living expenses to fund this new career direction. I'm going to give it my all to see if it's sustainable. Thank you for your support, working on my passion projects is something I’m only lucky enough to consider because of you all 🙏 More detail here: x.com/ryanlpeterman/…

working on backfill pipeline today ~ will be able to fetch 100s of PRs, sentry errors, linear issues in <5 mins once this step is done, i'll be able to work on the graph layer github.com/lightfastai/li…
