Sounds like we need a new language 🤔 Boundaryml.com

Had a great time at DevGuild this morning and then Next Gen Agent after party doing product demos & sharing knowledge together with some incredible builders thanks for hosting @benswerd @freestyle_dev @ foundations

founder demo night with @freestyle_dev new connection > conflicts check > engagement letter populated and signed > MSA emailed for legal review > VectorAI begins drafting redline for our lawyers to review. 3m 35s too slow must strip process Thx for hosting @benswerd

Our craziest escape yet: The @Accomplish_ai research team was able to exploit a vulnerability in Cloudflare Containers that let a sandbox read other customers' files - SQLite DBs, Chromium profiles, .env files etc, Cloudflare Sandboxes and Browser Run run on the same disk implementation and were affected too. We reported this to @Cloudflare, who super quickly fixed it. Read @CloudflareDev post in collaboration with Accomplish researcher @orenyomtov on their official blog: blog.cloudflare.com/containe…

ben and I played a little game of who will get drunk enough first to reveal his p99s turns out there was nothing outrageous on each side but hey at least we got drunk enough to exchange unhinged sandbox takes

This is going to be fun! luma.com/freestyle-26a2

“I don't believe Claude Code will exist in its current form in six months” @benswerd, CEO & Co-Founder @freestyle_dev, thinks coding agents are moving from local machines to the cloud, where a single task could get the attention of 20+ agents at once. Each gets a complete copy of your stack, production environment included. Each can spend a week testing and refining its approach. You compare the results and take the best one forward. The economics aren’t there yet. Ben expects cost per task to fall another 99% over the next four years, making that level of parallel work practical. Freestyle builds the computers for it: full Linux VMs for tasks that run for hours, days, or weeks. Clone a running machine, memory included, and let agents pursue different approaches from the same starting point. Pause and resume with their state intact. Inside Freestyle, Ben already gives agents a week to find improvements to its VM technology. Roughly 700 tests and 90 metrics help the team judge whether the work made things better. He calls this goal engineering: define the outcome clearly, give agents time to work toward it, and measure whether they’re making progress. "Full Linux VMs for AI Agents" Built for complex tasks that run for hours, days, or weeks 🎙️ @benswerd, CEO & Co-Founder, @freestyle_dev on @Fondocom @thestartpod 00:57 Why coding agents could move from local to the cloud 02:22 From harness engineering to goal engineering 03:08 Giving agents a week to improve measurable results 04:13 Why defining the problem becomes the bottleneck 04:48 How early access to o1 changed Freestyle’s direction 05:51 Why frustrated sandbox users revealed a bigger opportunity 07:28 Giving agents a computer instead of building custom tools 08:12 Getting into YC  11:17 Snapshotting VMs and running agents in parallel 12:24 The economics of letting multiple agents attempt every task 13:26 How GPU supply could drive down agent costs 15:09 Try Freestyle and follow Ben

Every company whose moat was making cloud infrastructure easier to use for humans is in a tough spot rn.

DigitalOcean Managed Agents is now in public preview. Run Claude Code, Codex, or your own LangGraph agent in a runtime environment that pauses when idle. Put its tools behind one governed endpoint, and pick from 75+ open and proprietary models. One cloud, one bill. Prompts to get started available in the blog: do.co/4ysh3it

Today, we’re launching an ambitious new school called The Horowitz Andreessen Academy. Based in San Francisco, The Academy serves the most promising young high school graduates. We think this can be an elite institution that attracts top tier talent. One that prepares students for the future rather than remaining stuck in the past. The #1 goal is to help students learn to build, which is the most important skill in the AI era. They'll learn primarily by pursuing their own projects, either individually or in groups. There are classes and guest lectures, too, from some truly amazing people who have built modern-day Silicon Valley. The Academy is designed as a network, since that’s the reason students go to school in the first place. Core to that network are our 10 Founding Partners: Anduril, Anthropic, Coinbase, Google, Meta, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Palantir, Replit, and Stripe. The network includes over 50 hiring partners and over 200 speakers and mentors. To join as a hiring partner or faculty member, you can apply on our website. We raised $42M in funding led by @a16z. I'll be CEO and @pmarca and @eriktorenberg will join me on the board. Applications are open for our Founding Class Fellowship, which will be one year and tuition-free. Eventually, pending regulatory approval, we plan to offer a two-year program that charges tuition, similar in cost to an elite private university. We're looking for the most unusually ambitious young builders on the planet. Come join us in San Francisco: theacademysf.com/

Last week I launched Brood War Bench. TLDR; - Agents have a long way to go before they can annihilate the Terrans - Codex plays cheese and confuses the opponents - @Grok is still too dumb to play 🧵 [Below Clip is Opus killing Fable who spent too much on tech]

Is Jev racist? For identical resumes, Jev shows slight preference for black sounding names and against asian sounding names. Very small diff but seemingly statistically significant.

I’m looking forward to speaking here all about agent communication & learning from other next gen agent builders come join us! Link to sign up in comments💅
