Compact Before You Switch: My First Pi Extension
Pi lets you switch models mid-conversation. That’s the feature. You start a session on one model, then switch to another with /model or by cycling with Ctrl+P - whichever model fits the next stretch of work best. Most of the time it just works. Here’s the time it doesn’t. You’re deep in a session on MiniMax M3 and its roughly 1M-token context window. Your conversation has grown to 162,000 tokens - fine, plenty of headroom. Then you switch to GLM-5.1 because it’s the...
Batch API is terrible for one agent. It might be great for a fleet.
What does an agent harness feel like when every model turn goes through Anthropic’s Batch API instead of the synchronous endpoint? Batches are 50% off. For anyone burning real money on agents (eval suites, background subagents, anything that runs unattended), half-price tokens are the kind of number that makes you stop and squint. The trade is latency: batches are asynchronous, with up to a 24-hour processing window.
AI finding more bugs is a good thing
Anthropic’s Mythos announcement set off exactly the reaction you would expect: if models can now find serious bugs at scale, software security must be about to get much worse. I think that reaction mixes up two things. A bug is not automatically a vulnerability. And even a vulnerability is not automatically exploitable. That distinction matters even more in the agent era. AI is getting better at surfacing weird behavior in code. It can push edge cases, strange paths, and awkward combinations muc...
I Asked Codex to Reverse Engineer My Webcam
I have an Anker PowerConf C200 webcam. It is a solid little webcam, and one of the nice things about it is that it supports a few genuinely useful settings, especially Field of View. You can change how wide the camera frames you, which is great if you want a tighter shot or a wider view of the room. There was just one problem: I run Linux. Yes, really. And I have for a long time.
Your Agent Can Run printenv (and Your Runtime Can't Stop It)
Work-Bench’s post is one of the clearer attempts to name what’s happening: a new “agent runtime” layer built to execute, constrain, observe, and improve agent work at scale. I mostly agree with that framing. Where I think it stops short is inside their “Constrain” pillar. They explicitly define “Constrain” as “two things: identity and permissions.” That’s correct - but incomplete once you accept the premise of agents: they execute...
