here's how i shipped 2,500 PRs last month to production this was originally supposed to be for Cursor Compile in London. i couldn't make it since i was livestreaming for Grok @Bot Galaxy so i'm making it available for free here on X! watch it on 2x speed, i talk slowly

SpaceXAI has just introduced Grok @Bot Creator Rewards! Rewards will go out every two weeks. Rewards are based on usage: • How many people use your Bots. Are your Bots useful and popular? • How often your Bots are used. Are your Bots providing consistent value over time? For your templates to be eligible for rewards, you must: • Post about your public Bots (and specifically link to them) on X ≥ 2x per pay period • Have X Money set up • Payouts will be sent as part of X’s Original Content Rewards for now.   In the last two weeks, I’ve earned $500 in rewards due to people using my Home Robots template 🔥 More info: legal.x.com/en/grok-bot-temp…

wanna see a Starship launch in person?

This is an extremely good watch. The things that felt novel/interesting to me: 1. Lock down your agents Humans tend to like 'sharp knife' abstractions - that are powerful, but you can cut yourself if your use them wrong. Lauren says agents perform much better in extremely locked-down environments. Abstractions are designed so they can't screw up, and lint rules enforce it. They built a whole internal framework (Dune) to keep the agent on track. That helps optimise agents that don't have a large context window to work productively in your codebase. 2. Create verification infrastructure To trust the results of any agent, you either need to sit and watch it OR have it provide evidence of its improvement. This has always made sense to me, but Lauren really pushes it hard here: - Invest in custom CLI's that let the agent drive the app and measure its performance - Make the app "factory ready" from the get-go - i.e. deployable to an environment where the agent can mess about with it 3. Feature Maps Lauren's software factory (what she calls an 'outer loop') often requires the agent to break down vague bug reports from users and to turn those into potential fixes. To aid that, they built a 'feature map' of all the main features in their application, which describe exactly how the app is supposed to function. This has become essential for helping the agent navigate the codebase, and figure out quickly how things are supposed to work. It's maintained along with the codebase, and kept in sync via automations. This is the kind of documentation I usually warn against. It goes stale quickly and can confuse agents if it's not kept up to date. But Lauren's team are using it as critical navigation infrastructure, and it makes it possible for agents to explore faster and better - even on a large codebase. So it sounds like navigation docs like this are worth it if they enable new behavior. Banger talk - watch the whole thing on 2x.

I optimized Cursor's agent harness. Check it out for nitty gritty and interesting details on where token spend comes from. This one was actually a tricky rollout because tokens are so important to our top line. But we care about keeping low prices thanks to efficiency.

guess what i got

We've reduced token costs in Cursor by 7% with no drop in agent quality. Savings came from tighter prompts, selective tool loading, better caching, and compressed file reads.
