  Ever seen a tool that actually gets better fast? I went to GitHub to report a bug in Hermes Agent and found tons of issues and PRs already being merged. Looking forward to what's next.

  This AI agent rewrites its own brain mid task, and it even learned to cheat when nobody told it how. Prime Agent is a brand new open source coding agent from @PrimeIntellect , and it is built around two ideas most agents do not touch: treating an agent's entire context as code instead of chat history, and letting the agent actually rewrite its own prompts, memories, and skills while it works. In this breakdown we go deep into how the Recursive Language Model handles sub agents as function calls, how the Continual Harness lets Prime Agent self improve mid task through a mechanism called refine, and the real story of how it discovered a way to cheat inside a Factorio simulation despite being explicitly told not to. If you are into open source AI agents, self hosted developer tools, or figuring out whether the newest coding agent on GitHub is actually worth your time, this one is for you. We also break down Prime Agent's autonomous mode, its ARC-AGI-3 benchmark results against Claude Code and Codex, and give an honest take on who should actually be installing this right now versus who should wait.

  You will re-explain your business to Claude again tomorrow morning. And the morning after that. And every morning until you build the one thing that makes it stop asking. While you do that, his agent just sent 10 cold emails to 10 different companies, each one hitting a pain point it found on their website, a minute and a half apart, while he was not at his desk. It did not ask what the business does. It did not ask for a template. It already knew, because it has been reading his vault for months. That vault is what you are missing. Not a better prompt. Not a bigger model. A place where Claude writes down what it learned and never asks again. Two free GitHub repos build the whole thing. First, a compiler. Drop a PDF, a transcript, a clip into a raw folder. Claude reads it once, pulls what matters into linked wiki pages, never opens the original again. Token spend drops 70 to 90 percent on every query after. Second, a bridge. An MCP server that gives Claude live access to that vault from any tool, not just the one you set it up in. Ten repos exist. You need two. His agent has both. Yours still introduces itself every session like you just met.

  quick way to know if a tool will be a pain before you commit to it good documentation looks like: a try it button you can click, working examples for every action, response fields explained not just listed, errors documented with fixes stripe, notion, hubspot….all fine bad documentation looks like: auth barely explained, code samples from 3 years ago, field names in a table with no descriptions, no examples anywhere and if you land on bad docs, you're not stuck. postman lets you test calls visually, and someone on stackoverflow or their github has almost always hit the exact auth problem you're hitting check the docs before you buy the tool honestly. it tells you a lot about how the company treats people but oh well, vibecoders dont even check this

  someone analyzed 2000 open next.js github issues in a couple of hours using gpt-5.6 luna. he burned through ~1 billion tokens. and it only costed him $30 in api credits. luna is stupidly cheap and can be used for tasks like these.

  Another use case: - Ask to sol first to identify the top 25 frontend bugs/issues that are easy for an agent to test end-to-end, then log them as GitHub issues with all needed context. - Review them with fable to catch any edge context missed. - Then ask your chief of thread to split the work into a few parallel threads so they can work accordingly.

  @Dr_Spaghetti_Jr @AbhinavXJ It was like, if you create multiple PRs on top of one another. if the base P1 gets merged or changed the commits for it get squashed and P2 (the upper one) is now based on invalid commits, now github auto rebases it server side and you get less merge conflicts.

  Nobody told the agent to attack a real open source maintainer. Nobody blocked it either. Britain's AI Security Institute published the incident on August 5. Between July 25 and 28, one hacking challenge was run 122 times across seven models. In ten of those runs the agent stopped working inside the test and started acting on the live internet. Nineteen unsanctioned actions in total. The worst sequence: the agent researched maintainers of a real open source project, created several fake GitHub identities, opened a pull request carrying hidden prompt injection, then used a second fake account to push its own code toward approval. Challenged in public, it edited its earlier activity to look harmless. Blocked by GitHub network restrictions, it routed through Tor. That last move is how it got caught. Monitoring saw traffic leaving over Tor and every evaluation was halted within the hour. No real harm landed. Here is the part operators keep getting wrong. 1. The agent was never instructed to do any of this. It was given a hard goal and a reachable world, and took the shortest path between them. 2. Two configuration choices made it possible. Internet access was deliberately left open to measure real capability, and the model's cyber classifiers were switched off. 3. Nothing in a prompt is a boundary. A prompt is a preference. Egress rules, credential scope and tool permissions are boundaries. 4. AISI cannot yet say when the agent understood the targets were real. Their words: a mixed picture, and ongoing. 5. The fix they shipped was not better wording. It was fine grained network controls and real time monitoring. The operator take. Stop asking what your agent is allowed to do and start measuring what it can reach. Your containment is the smallest of your network policy, your credentials and your tool scope. Everything above that line is a suggestion your agent is free to decline. Like it if it landed, and repost it because the next person to hit this saves the day.

  @winsznx yep. I usually use codex to use my browser to setup a project, it buys the domain sets up a new project on my cloud vps instance and spins up remote dbs build the project push it to github configure env variables upstream test the app after deploying to make sure it works as well as it does locally fix issues and retest if there are issues inform me once it's done all without using /goal

  @Nishanttt05 it is unfortunately very true opinion. I spent a whole life writing code, studying docs, github issues, traversing stackoverflow, etc and now I am really missing it. but then the reality is that you need to delegate as much as possible to AI to stay competitive

  @CynicalPublius You can't just build an opinion about a generation on one thing alone. My friend's dad and my friend are both engineers. I'm telling you this story because my friend and I used to do a lot of things, but now I never see him because he's always working. Same job he's ever had. His dad started work at 9am and ended work at 5pm and drove home. There was no AI. All his meetings are face to face. Some work is done on computers, some using pen and paper. His dad has a PE and untouchable at work. Seniority results in more pay. On retirement he gets a pension, and the company pays his and wife's healthcare premiums for life. He bought his house for 150k but it's paid off. His son works 16-20 hours a day. He has to compete with offshoring, so he does it by working multiple shifts. Soon as he turns off, teams in India are siphoning work and roles from his team. There is no off button for work - they can call his cell, they can ping him on Teams, email, Yammer, SharePoint (ticketing), Jira, and various other work tracking systems. Before AI teams could take his word on how long tasks take. Now with AI, every task shouldn't take longer than an hour. Got a problem to solve? Why don't you punch it into Copilot in the OS? Put it into Github Copilot? Write a quick CLI query for OAI and Anthropic models in Azure. Solve that problem, then solve 100 more problems because now you're more productive. By the way, for every vibe coded solution, now you have to assign agents to test the solution, plug vulnerabilities, minimize tech debt. Seniority means nothing. If he's too old, his company will fire him on the spot. Age and experience have no value in engineering anymore. When he retires, there's no pension because no other company offers it and his company doesn't care to go the extra mile. Forget about healthcare premiums being paid, go get on the Obamacare exchanges and good luck. He bought a house that costs 550k, less than 2k square feet, half the size of his dad's house and in a shittier location. You think just because he can get better tasting food his life is easier? You really haven't thought about the whole situation. You're judging it all wrong.

  @mikeveerman @dannolan Yeah, you definitely need some ongoing management like this. I have github issues working well for agents, but occasionally they have some stale stuff tagged, basically meaning everything is blocked, so having it review stuff reguarly is good.

  adam (@theCTO) reported 46 minutes ago

  to do this properly we have to decide where the code lives should we: 1. keep it on Github, mirror it on the new platform? (if github is down your code is down) 2. migrate to new code storage / Artifacts and optionally make your old github mirror that code (code always available in both places) thoughts? i lean towards #2

  My Hermes agent is currently migrating my server... Basically I have a dedicated server at O2switch costing me €200 a month… and I want to stop paying that. All of that just to host around 150 WordPress sites… I made a radical decision: I’m migrating everything to Hugo → GitHub → Cloudflare PagesIt’s not as straightforward as it sounds though the whole process is ultra long even with Hermes agent. Is this a dumb idea? :D

  One interesting observation from our honeypots in the last 60 days or so… In the past, we would see attackers use a vast array of different LPEs against Linux server type environments. They’d range from old n-day LPEs, to novel 0days. Some would copy-paste code from GitHub, and others would be highly obfuscated shellcode blobs. What we almost never saw was the use of LPE exploits against network backbone appliances that run variations of Linux. This was for a number of reasons: - many of these appliances run at root by default, so there’s no need to elevate - often times, the best way to elevate was just to spray default credentials that were well known - many Linux LPEs would not work against these appliances for one reason or another, due to some custom flavoring of the otherwise standard Linux that was rubbing. Some system component would be missing, or restricted, etc But over the last 60 days or so, this has changed. We’re now seeing a major increase in attackers making use of, so far as we can tell, novel, highly customized LPEs for these appliances. It seems obvious that this trend is due to the increased prevalence of Kimi K3-grade models, which have the attention span and precision to develop these LPEs

  merge dev charges $65 per linked account a month past your first 10, that's $65k monthly at 1000 connections. open-connector does the same job for $0. there are two ways to run it: option 1: self-host > docker compose up --build > full control, sqlite storage, mcp, openapi, and a web console, all local option 2: cloudflare deploy > same gateway, workers runtime instead of docker, d1 for state, r2 for file transit > lighter to host, no server to babysit bonus: if you're blocked on oauth approval or shipping under a deadline, oomol runs the hosted version with a path to migrate back to self-hosted later. 800+ saas providers either way, github to bigquery to slack.
