curious your thoughts on my approach: https://docs.wingman.actor/extend/plugin-quickstart/

none are as great as https://wingman.actor!

jk its trash

reminds me of this blog post: https://campedersen.com/singularity

not as complete as Pi yet but ive been working on https://wingman.actor, a different take on a lot of this stuff, written in Go, minimal dependencies, etc...

well i could certainly be in the wrong; i'm just speaking from my personal and likely flawed experience but i feel like i've noticed silly mistakes in every (llm) model that has been released (and that i've sufficiently used) and it hasn't felt like 6 Sol was much of a regression from 6 Astra (more than reported in both model cards), both of which ive very extensively.

not saying this is the case here but it does feel a bit like wine tasting sometimes, everyone claims to be an expert that can taste a few tokens and tell you exactly what region and vineyard its from.

not quite dots related but I am surprised by some of the openai negativity in here.

to me they still are the only lab that ships fantastic models that are easily portable to different agentic harnesses. I use my codex subscription 24/7 within opencode and wingman and haven't had any complaints in a long time.

https://v2.opencode.ai https://wingman.actor

very surprised by the sentiment against GPT 6.0 Sol, I've been using it exclusively since release and it feels like a cheaper astra to me. admittedly I haven't tried any anthropic models in a while other than small tests since i can't use my anthropic subscription in other harnesses (like OpenAI has supported natively for a long time).

If OpenAI cuts alternative harness support it will be a weird day trying to figure out what to do next, it's been so clearly the best bang for your buck (imo) for a while. maybe id finally have to give smaller models a try.

anything to avoid using the dogwater codex & claude code tuis.

anyways this seems like a nice cost improvement over GPT 6 Sol and I expect this will be my new daily driver.

I've been using https://github.com/bensadeh/circumflex for a while now, I like it a lot.

happy to see more harnesses in the Go space, i've had a fun time building https://github.com/ChaseRensberger/wingman

i think the language primitives map well to the natural desire to use these tools across networks and in concurrent workloads.

another Go harness i keep up to date with is: https://github.com/boldsoftware/shelley (exe.dev team)

i think there is a larger incentive to automate away physical labor than you're giving credit

not sure ive ever seen a #1 post on HN with only 5 stars

its annoying that robots are going to take intellectual jobs before physical ones. it feels way more likely for my project manager to become an agent before the lady that makes me a burrito at chipotle.

i think you're right to call me out. being open source/self hostable is a big plus of this project. outside of that, exe.dev is a fantastic way to deploy pretty much anything; pay a subscription for total compute and distribute that among VMs however you would like, host your own stuff, as simple/as complex as you want it to be. just infinite versatility and a fantastic user experience imo.

how is this better than a skill that tells agents to write markdown in a folder on my laptop when it needs to remember things

i clicked the features link at the top and it doesnt even work

this readme is wayyyy too long

a similar project which i think is a lot better than this (in fact it's so good i'm jealous of its genius) is https://exe.dev. It feels like something that hasn't really hit the mainstream yet but I suspect everyone will be talking about soon.

when do i get to go to the moon

Been iterating on primitives as I build out the Wingman runtime. Always looking for feedback!

definitely a little bit of shameless self promotion but I write about a lot of common harness concepts in the docs of Wingman (https://wingman.actor) - a client agnostic agent harness I've been working on for a while:

https://docs.wingman.actor/concepts/sessions/

I think there is still plenty of innovation to be had in the space. Right now everything is still pretty bundled to the file system where getting skills and things to work inside of like a virtual worker requires simulating a virtual file system (usually). I believe even in the latest opencode v2 versions it still requires that a session be bundled to a working directory, I try to avoid (some of) that in Wingman.

I started working on a "modern finger alternative" called winger: https://github.com/ChaseRensberger/winger, and was planning to write an article just like this! Glad to see other people interested in this stuff.

I can't believe how well this works!

> It's going to produce proofs far more intricate than humans can understand, outdoing humans and opening new frontiers.

I agree.

> The age of humans comprehending things is coming to an end: our brains just won't have the capacity to make meaningful contributions to science, math, or technology.

I don't know if I see this being true for quite a while, if ever.

I think this is likely a very good idea. I've thought about the idea of channels a lot building https://wingman.actor and I've gone back in forth on if channel primitives are a good idea at a low level or if existing chat clients are just an already well defined utility you shouldn't rewrite.

I think your approach of a unified SDK/data structure around a chat that adapts to different clients is a really strong solution that probably just gives you the best of both worlds.

yea split + ortholinear would be peak

Not exactly what youre looking for but im working on a lot of these ideas with https://wingman.actor

Sorry if you get paywalled.

Not ready for production yet but ive been working on https://wingman.actor for quite a while. Its a golang based portable agent runtime with minimal dependencies.

seems to be an easy fix already up: https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode-anthropic-auth/pull/10

Wow, i sat down to do a little bit of late night coding and ended up running into this nightmare. Just canceled my anthropic subscription and started paying for opencode zen. Unfortunately opencode is enough of a better product i will indeed pay 10 times the price to use it.
