Excellent, I can finish my @buzzdotxyz compatible "safety harness" for my kids 🙌🏼
we announced Jev 1.14 on 10.14 at 1:14pm PT 🔥 a new and improved model, along with experimental features for our dreamers: • images • a new box type • longer context surprise, Jev was already able to see you! 👁️ BUT our bar for production-grade intelligence is quite high, so builders beware, these are preview features. enter the ~*~ danger zone ~*~ at your own risk. 🚨

As a kid, candy corn seemed ridiculous. Tasted awful. As an adult though, it's delightful.

We just made it a lot nicer to get started with Buzz from your phone. Join a community, set up your profile, browse and join channels, talk to agents. No desktop required.

A week into working with buzz as my primary agent harness and it's funny watching all the agents think I'm fluent in git SHAs

Berd is a great harness that I used internally for a couple months as a Codex alternative. I really appreciate the first class representation of agents and this paradigm is serving me well as I explore Buzz more, but I still use Berd for certain flows. Congrats team!
We often build the tools we need ourselves. Berd is the desktop application our teams use to work with AI agents across projects, skills, tools, and models. Today, we’re making it open source and sharing what we’ve learned. Meet Berd, AI with character: block.xyz/inside/designing-a…

Buzzing after the latest @AcquiredFM episode, I re-watched Lightyear with my kids and wow, the scene where Buzz is falling out of the ship bay into space is incredible.

I was trying out Cerebras a few weeks ago and discovered and patched a thinking bug with @goose_oss Released in 1.46.0. So fast! github.com/aaif-goose/goose/…

I switched to Buzz as my agent harness for a couple days. I see it. A few hiccups, but this is the way. The agent-to-agent coordination works wildly well. And as a bonus, it is surprisingly fun.

As a life long beach-goer, I can't believe I waited so long to buy a Shibumi. It's so easy ⛱️
