x402 will eventually free us from the pain of API Key Management. I only am not sure yet how long it will take me to get comfortable with my agents having their own wallet and paying for their own needs like inference costs and what not. But agentic commerce is coming.

Good morning, day, evening or night, wherever you are. I finally want to push my own decoupling from Big Tech. A thing harder to do than I thought. I got another SSD and now going to dual-boot my PC with (still my safe heaven, so to say) Windows 11 and Debian 13. Whish me luck.

This paper about Meta Prompting [MP] and Recursive Meta Prompting [RMP] is very interesting. I like the concept of defining the steps to solve the problem, instead of doing few-shotting with exemplars. Also having self improving prompts sounds intriguing. arxiv.org/abs/2311.11482

Weekend is coming up, so might take some time to share some agentic coding stuff on a video or blog post. Anything you're curious about in particular?

Some interesting new opensource models released by IBM. Granite 4 in different shapes. Granite-4.0-H-Small, a hybrid mixture of experts (MoE) model with 32B total parameters (9B active) could be the one I am looking for to run locally as my agent orchestrator. www.ibm.com/new/announce...

Hey agentic AI people. If you did not already have a look at DeepCode, you might want to check it out. Sure, it works best with the expensive models, but I am trying to find some opensource variants that work well. Looks good and it is opensource. github.com/HKUDS/DeepCode

Hello Developers. Just a refresher post since I was inactive here for too long. I would like to connect with people that are interested in and active in Software Development. I am currently diving into agentic systems. Looking at @cloudflare.social Agent SDK and Cloud Workers sandbox. Cool stuff. 😍

Well, I guess the move of Microsoft to hire Sam and Greg change the game quite a bit. Sam's vision and the already paved way to a chip production startup he brings in combined with Microsoft's money and computing power is a huge thing imho. Sam finally gets his will to push commercialization hard.
