3/4 Privacy is critical for a product like HiveMind. You choose which sessions to share with colleagues. HiveMind can inherit GitHub permissions. Sessions are redacted, and you can delete them on demand.

At @PWVentures, we've been quietly building AgentCribs, a private community of founders and hackers building custom agentic coding/business/marketing/etc setups and sharing wins and losses. Now, we're opening up the community a bit with our first event on May 6 in San Francisco! I'll be sitting down for a fireside chat with Peter Levine (legendary @a16z investor who sat on our board at @GitHub for many years) to discuss the bleeding edge of AI ideas and realtime insights on where the market is headed. The evening will also include an update from the core AgentCribs team, demos and discussion from people building with agents, and an invitation to participate in ongoing collaboration. If you've been hacking on your own real-world agentic workflows, built your own harness, 10x-d Claude, or just want to know what the future looks like, you belong!

I got a little carried away asking questions about the electromagnetic spectrum and had Claude build me an interactive tool to help me wrap my mind around it 🤯 vanpelt.github.io/sparky/too…

1/4 🚀 Catnip is live on the App Store! It’s my first iOS app — and it lets you run Claude Code *everywhere*. Same agent. Real dev environment. In your pocket. 📱

4/4 Catnip is fully open source ❤️ GitHub: github.com/wandb/catnip App Store: apps.apple.com/us/app/w-b-ca… If you’re hacking with Claude or other coding agents, I’d love feedback.

3/4 Under the hood, Catnip spins up a GitHub Codespace and connects your phone to it securely. You get a full terminal when you want it — or a clean native iOS UI when you don’t. GitHub gives personal users 120 free hrs/mth, and we automatically shut down inactive instances.

2/4 I built Catnip because Claude Code is 🔥 and it really shines when it has a rich, persistent dev environment. With Catnip, your agent lives inside your *actual* dev environment — plugins, tools, and all.

This is SOO cool. I’ve dreamt of this since we started the company. Love seeing this new era of TUI’s 🤓
🤫 Something's been brewing in stealth. Our SDK team's side project, codenamed W&B LEET, is being unleashed. We are releasing a full Terminal UI (TUI) for live, interactive W&B monitoring right in your terminal. No browser, no internet, no problem.

Claude Code has been such a joy to use. I couldn't resist making a new tool. Introducing Catnip: github.com/wandb/catnip Catnip runs Claude in a container and makes running multiple agents a breeze. I'm ready for people to try it so I can use Catnip to improve Catnip 🤓

Our engineers have been elbows-deep with @wandb, and we cannot wait to show you what we’ve built together on day 2! 🫡
🐝 Day 1 at Fully Connected 2025 is buzzing! Workshops are packed as builders tune models, wire observability, and ship agentic AI applications live on the spot. The “wan-dee-bee” crew is fired up to be surrounded by so many bright, talented builders. 🫡

My o1-based AI programming agent is now state of the art on SWE-Bench Verified! It resolves 64.6% of issues. This is the first fully o1-driven agent we know of. And we learned a ton building it.

Just heard a reminder to check your carryon for a firearm before going through security by my gate at BNA. Who was that message for? There are enough people flying that didn’t bring their firearm this time, but might forget next time?!
