past week ships:
- hex, great way to talk to agent
- browse, great way for agents to use your browser
- rune, great way to build native apps
- deepseek $100 for $10
- new opencode website
unfortunately wrote zero essays about what a software factory is so they will be punished

Most orchestration like this is for human ergonomics.
More layers means more bureaucracy and far more token burn, with little to show for it.
Cut middle management layers out like the plague, but do try and find systems that help you understand and review large bodies of work.
I've changed how I work over the last few weeks.
I now have one lead agent for each area of focus, running all the time, and a chief of staff agent that oversees them. Each lead manages its own sub-agents that write code, test it, chase reviews, and coordinate with team members.
Everything I need to decide or review comes into one prioritized queue, a simple local web app. Each product review includes screenshots and a video demo of the feature. I clear the queue in batches, mostly by voice and keyboard shortcuts. The leads also bring back ideas I hadn't considered.
Working from one queue, instead of switching between dozens of chats, has cut a lot of mental overhead. The system keeps learning my preferences and distilling my judgment into a "Brian brain," so its recommendations and first drafts get better before they reach me. The goal is fewer corrections per change.
Every change still goes through the same human review and security checks. It is eliminating tasks, not human judgment.
What an exciting time to push the frontier of productivity, especially as we build the economy for agents (agentic finance). We should all keep pushing in this direction.

Credit where it’s due, this guy has been an industry leader in shitty takes and bait posts for almost a decade now.

Does Europe still want to play any role in the AI race?
Does it still have the will to build what it takes?
Not simply talk about it, or simply regulate it.
But build. Compete at the frontier. Take the risks, make the investments, and do the difficult things that leadership actually demands.
Today, access to frontier AI still comes with painful tradeoffs. Costs that compound with every user. Latency that slows down products. Compute concentrated in a handful of providers. And too little control over where intelligence runs and where data lives.
Why should building with the world’s best intelligence mean accepting these constraints?
We don’t think it should.
That’s why we’re building alpha.sh.
Open models. Exceptional performance. Radically lower costs. Sovereign infrastructure.
All accessible through one API.
Europe has an extraordinary history of discovery. Of people who questioned what everyone else accepted, built what didn’t exist, and changed what the world believed possible.
Is that spirit of discovery, invention, and ambition still alive today?
Because in this new age, infrastructure is more than compute, networks, and data centers.
It’s what gives a small team with an extraordinary idea a fighting chance against the largest companies in the world.
It’s what turns the world’s best intelligence into new products, businesses, scientific discoveries, and capabilities that matter.
It’s also what gives our businesses and institutions the ability to remain resilient, independent, and in control as intelligence becomes critical to everything they do.
Europe needs this infrastructure. And it needs companies willing to put it to work.
More founders building at the frontier. More businesses adopting the best models, testing their limits, and turning new capabilities into real advantages. More infrastructure built here, serving the world.
Build something that wouldn’t have been possible yesterday.
The models are here. The talent is here. The opportunity is here.
What are we waiting for?

The gap between an average engineer and the best engineers was never quite 10x, but it was meaningful.
AI has made the gap at least 100x.

spent last 10 years scaling distributed compute using three fundamental principles:
shard, increase bandwidth, reduce latency.
turns out intelligence has the same problem.
introducing alpha.

Intelligence is becoming abundant.
Access to it should be, too.
Today, we’re introducing Alpha.
We’re building the inference infrastructure for a world where open intelligence becomes the default.
Starting with Europe.

A huge amount of the Anti-AI code sentiment massively overestimates the quality of human code outside of a very small set of open source and high quality company codebases. Human Slop is everywhere and can trivially be improved on by any opus level model.

"Did you know you can reduce tokens used by 6% by jumping through a bunch of hoops, making your life worse and also making your agents dumber? Why isn't everyone doing this!"

PSA: To use daybreak, sign in with your hardware key, not a random passkey. Otherwise, you will get cyber refusals due to improper authentication.

hot take: you don't need a software factory, and i don't love the term. it's just marketing
all you need is good software engineering and investing your tokens in the right places. the more deterministic the better (and token efficient)
