A new project from GitHub Next!
Chopin is a real-time, multiplayer agentic planning environment. Designed to get your whole team aligned on the plan before you hand it off to agents.
We find our current agent planning tools feel cumbersome, static, lonely, and drown us in walls of text. We're exploring how we can make planning more interactive, shared, and visual 🖌️
It's currently an early prototype but we'll be developing it more over the coming months – and it's open source!

Had a wonderful chat with @GergelyOrosz - always nice to go deep on ideas in a proper long chat. Got to show off some notebook sketches and design jigs with agents too.
What can us, engineers else learn from designers and design engineers? Turns out there’s lots, based on talking with one of the best design engineers in the industry, @Mappletons.

Not everyone on the team has access to Jev yet. Spent a morning cobbling together a poor man's Jev on top of omlx for local use. Benchmarked and eval'ed a variety of models including diffusiongemma and a variety of autoregressive models (Qwen MoE, Gemma 4 MoE, and Gemma 4 e4b/e2b.) Benchmark report is in the repo.
This is 100% promptcoding but hey the evals look okay, speeds are pretty good on local machine (m5 max 64gb), and the LocalJev server exposes an API that can be used with the normal Jev API wrapper libraries.

If you can define a bounded, semantically meaningful property space, you can project a natural language expression into that space in one generation step

From our friends on the Applied Science team, great stuff!
We're finally starting to see the multimodel future with an intelligent routing layer. As time goes on, we _should_ care less about the models, because A) they're all "good enough" and B) AI should be optimizing routing.
Plus, imagine a world where we do some inference on local hardware. Coding is certainly sensitive to parameter count, but a lot of the coding workload is not about code generation, but reasoning about English/NL. That part of the agentic workload doesn't necessarily need the flagship models, or even the cheaper cloud models. Those subagents don't necessarily require long context windows (which in turn requires massive amounts of RAM and memory bandwidth). Companies are buying powerful machines for their engineers — machines that can do some of this work, but only if there's a routing layer that can route to them. Excited to see the first steps in this direction!
4.9 percentage points higher verified task quality. 67% lower estimated cost.
Project HydraFusion delivered those results against Claude Opus 5 on Terminal-Bench 2.1 in controlled offline evaluations.
HydraFusion orchestrates the models and workflow for each coding task. You select it like any other model. ⬇️

hot take: code has been commoditised but access to do code hasn’t yet
ai transformation at software companies is mainly about removing gate keepering and enablement of anyone from anywhere to contribute ideas (even if they get thrown away. it’s better than a slack message!)

You can check out the repo here.
Use at your own risk. But also feel free to contribute ideas and discussions via issues.
We've got lots we want to explore in this space and will be developing it in public.

✨ New post! "Knowledge compressor"
We're all writing more specs. Pretty soon they add up to real tokens! How can we get rigorous about compacting that context in a way that doesn't impact model understanding?

Software Factories, Continuous AI and GitHub Agentic Workflows!
GitHub's Don Syme joins Tessl's Guy Podjarny on The AI Native Dev to explore agentic repository automation.
A lot of the subjective work we do around software: triage, documentation, performance, accessibility, wants to run continuously and in context, the same way CI/CD does. Not inside your CI. Beside it.

The aim of agentic workflows is to make the repo and PDLC a living organism. Think a garden. Alive, evolving, and always improving.
We have a wide catalog available and we will continue to expand them.

This is huge!
We’ve been partnering with @GitHubNext team and this is a real thing!
I know we talk a lot about coworks and Hermes etc but real engineering happens in pipelines and taking advantage of GitHub actions as pipeline runtime plus having the ability to run @GitHubCopilot CLI agent harness there, in a secure manner !!!, is the way to scale where engineering goes to die - endless manual tasks can be agentified
And don’t get me wrong - as much as I say it is good it has been a struggle to run it in corporate constrained environment and there is work that can be done e there to improve
Also cost management is hard and there are no clear controls to stop spend and u need to build your own
But in good timing they also released this nitter.net/ghchangelog/status/206… and believe me that this is a game changer cause the previous way on minting tokens was impossible

Agentic workflows can now use the built-in GITHUB_TOKEN instead of personal access tokens, reducing security risks and simplifying automation.
