ciao blacksmith
we just made a CI runner so cheap & fast you can scale your CI by 20x on the same budget
introducing CI on boat.dev's cloud VMs
1. install boat & run:
$ boat ci connect
2. change your runner:
- runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+ runs-on: boat

t+20m: we got @Cloudflare on call
t+40m: we got our problem solved
we were not even their clients, but this is the best customer service i have ever seen.
the guys are very skilled. they understood in seconds what was the problem, and helped us
@rushs1ck and the team 🫡
I urgently need someone at @cloudflare to get us on the enterprise plan in the next few hours, we need higher limits, budget is not a problem, time is!
thanks

Today we are relaunching @Boski
Here is the no bullshit summary:
- We launched Boski in September as a long running agent that helps you reach your goals
- It didn’t work that well. We tried to keep our costs low and couldn’t create a great experience that we get from other agents like Instinct or Muse
- Today we are killing that version and launching a generalized personal agent that is as good as Instinct, has a free plan and is dead simple to use.
- We are also launching our mobile app (TestFlight for now, still waiting for the app review)
- We have a ton of launches prepared for next weeks so stay tuned, super excited to bring them to life
Try it for free, no invite code at boski.com
once again, pirates are trying to get our network fucked from every direction, coz they don't like the boat!
there is literally no point doing what they do except trying to get us down or unreachable
don't worry we're on it with all the power and community support you give us!

introducing boat
the best cloud VMs for agent swarms, CI, hillclimbing, software factories, personal assistants, artefacts hosting oh and rendering very cool 3D I guess?
boat.dev
introducing boat, the best sandbox infra for agents
> full VMs, up to 2k concurrent self-serve
> desktop + browser included
> super low prices
claude designed & rendered this video on a cluster of boat VMs
try it: boat.dev

I've been claudemaxxing a bit too hard lately. I needed more compute, more accounts, more guardrails, and now I just need more sleep.
This video is a chaotic spiral into hill climbing. Consider it the start of a series. Only gets weirder from here.
first 24hrs of boat CI:
- 121 accounts, 229 repos
- 19,172 jobs ran, 0 our infra couldn't provision
- 7s median wait push -> running
- 266 broken runners recovered automatically
- 0 overloaded host due to CI users
about 10% of our VM time spent last 24hrs was CI!
