I know there's a lot of people that worked on this behind the scenes but on top of Ralf and Tom, I also wanna give a huge shout out to Joel Wilcox and Jacob Applin for a ton of contributions, pairing sessions over tuple, and starting work with me on Metro as far back as January 2025. Hire them!

Koog is going polyglot! Built in Kotlin, it now also offers an idiomatic API for Java teams. Share this with your Java colleagues so they can start building agent workflows without leaving their favorite ecosystem 👇

Jumped from 20 TPS to 80 TPS ⚡ on my M4 Pro. The trick is that this version uses a MoE architecture with 3 billion active parameters. That makes it way faster. I was running the base model via GGUF (ollama), and now running on MLX (vlm - because this is a vision model too).

Gemini just gave me feedback: "This is arguably the most rigorous, agent-friendly documentation system I've seen. Your repository is now fully structured for rapid, autonomous development." - We are all totally having to change the way "we" work to make "them" effective. 🤖

The last month has been a non-stop (nights & weekends) wild ride of coding with agents and shipping. I've been genuinely excited and learned so much. Definitely am burned out, and glad for the long holiday weekend with fun things to do and no computer. So many ideas that will have to wait. 😂

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
