Vitalik kicking off @ETHChiangmai 2026 at @4seasDeSoc today. So many builders in CM right now, it’s getting busy!
Building from Chiang Mai, together. 🎥 Vitalik Buterin speaking at the launch of the Nimman Innovation Sandbox—a new space for Thai and international builders to develop and test ideas alongside local institutions. At 4Seas, we’re excited to see our community connect with Chiang Mai’s wider innovation ecosystem across three areas: AI & digital technology, healthy longevity, and smart cities. Launched by Thailand’s Digital Economy Promotion Agency (depa) and Zu Chiangmai, the initiative brought together representatives from the National Innovation Agency (NIA), NDEA, Block Mountain, and Chiang Mai University’s College of Arts, Media and Technology (CAMT). The sandbox connects builders with existing support channels through depa and NIA, while depa also coordinates investment and Smart Visa pathways with Thailand’s Board of Investment (BOI), subject to the relevant eligibility requirements. For us, this is an invitation to build lasting connections between international talent and local knowledge—and turn shared ideas into projects that matter here. #ChiangMai #ZuChiangmai #4Seas #HealthyLongevity

Road to V1, from this week's update. Our CLI, API and SDK V1 are ready. A big focus has been the developer experience, especially how agents work with Orbyte end to end. We're now focused on the dashboard, aiming for public access in mid-November.

Building a product that charges in credits? See which features drive consumption, compare usage across customers, and explore how it changes over time. Orbyte gives you the detail to understand how your product is being used.

I got a call with a solo founder today, and before I pitched he said: "I can't run the billing and the credits and all this kind of stuff. And I kind of put it on hold." A whole product on hold because of credit billing. That's why we're building @OrbyteLabs

If you're building an agentic product and using Vercel @aisdk this one is for you 👇
Give customers credits with their subscription and let them top up when they need more. Our @aisdk adapter charges agent usage against that same balance, so you can ship paid usage without wiring payments, metering, and a credit ledger together yourself. orbytelabs.com/

Our @aisdk adapter connects credit billing to an existing agent with just a few lines of code.
Building with Vercel @aisdk? Charge for model usage and successful tool calls with a credit model. Orbyte handles metering, customer balances, and charges. Our AI SDK adapter connects this to your existing agent with only a few code changes. Sign up → orbytelabs.com/

Are you sure you're billing correctly? Building an agentic product with credits? Mistakes will eat into your margins. We've dealt with this too. We fixed this with Orbyte. Familiar concepts, sensible defaults, a workspace that doesn't feel like a chore. orbytelabs.com/
