Introducing 𝟸𝚙𝚊𝚜𝚜𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚍

I can't overstate how excited I am about OptChat. It has been the best upgrade to my workflow since GPT 3. Second only to learning VIM. I exported all my past chats to it, and life has been amazing. The convenience of having a single unified log of my entire life, in a way the AI (and I) can navigate to find any information about me is indescriptible. Before, I had all these campaigns spread out across different Claude Code sessions, and even different harnesses. Each part of my life was on a different place, and Opus sucks at navigating these past memories because it is a huge mess. Now it is all just there, in one place. Any fact from my life is 3-4 zoom hops away. Any prompt I wrote, any algorithm I designed, is a few hops away. It feels like my life is now burned in the models weights, even though it is just a silly compression trick. "what is the state of that PR about λ-contraction again?" (3 zoom hops later...) "it was 2 weeks ago. you went to eat yogurt and forgot to reply" --- "remind me of that purely affine sort algorithm?" (5 zoom hops later...) "you wrote this 7 months ago: <code>. the trick is..." --- "find the top 3 pending topics in my life that need my attention" (several zoom hops later...) "here they are: ..." --- It just feels fantastic how well this just works. Also, the way the context is reseted on every turn clearly makes the AI perform better, it completely eliminates context rot, and I never have to /compact manually again. There is no need to. And yes, it is surprisingly cache efficient, because in-turn messages (where most of the cost is) are cached, and even cross-turn, most of the view is intact due to the way the binary compression works. I had to fix some silly bugs on OptMem to make it so, but now it just works. My costs DROPPED. Also the fact I can manually navigate the memory tree myself, starting from the root, and finding anything about my life. It is just so natural. Everything is there. Also, I realize I can take 90% of my AGENTS.md away because now the way the agent should behave just "sticks" from the OptChat log itself. If I change my mind about something, I just send a message and the latest ruling sticks. If the agent forgets something, I just point it out and it finds the place where I explained it. No need to re-explain. No need to manage AGENTS.md manually. It just... works. On top of that, it now lives on my Mini, so closing my Macbook doesn't stop it, and it has no access to my private data, so I'm finally able to use Computer Use to do things like buy food, book flights, sign on gov[.br] (THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!). I know this is not news to anyone using Hermes and the like, but it is the first time I'm able to do it and it is already transforming my life for better. Sorry for the over-excited tweet about something so mundane. It is just insane how incredibly transformative a simple idea can be. Context rot was the root of all evil and now it is gone. I feel free. I'd like to publish this but it is kinda coupled to my workflows and the interface is incredibly ugly and hacky. Actually, I think I'll just ask my agent to write a prompt explaining all the details of the setup so you guys can replicate! I'll post it below. It is essentially infinite context that just works. I really suggest that you guys try it!!! It may change your life too

I got GLM (which never refuses) to diff the firmware changes, pretty interesting

You can just RL a coding model to paint with javascript btw

Does anyone else find soldering weirdly therapeutic? Or is it just me
