super stoked to announce that HumanLayer is joining forces with factory

incredibly grateful to all our customers, investors, friends and family who cheered us on this crazy journey in the past 3 years

so do we need one giant monorepo for the all the code in the world?

compaction is much better now so for certain things you may not need to explicitly clear or externalize context to for the sake of model intelligence/focus. (still useful for collab w/ humans or handoff between agents / machines though!)

"dumb zone" a little more flexible for 1m frontier models. I usually my autocompact to 400k and tend to do a manual compact between 200-400k depending on model/harness. less so clearing now

3-tier subagent architectures make this a little better too. You can have a top level orchestrator that runs the process, and can launch subagents that can themselves launch subagents. So instead of human steering two levels, top level can.

i don't think there's any good reason to go beyond 3-levels of subagent nesting today for majority of tasks.

YMMV, as always these are guidelines / training wheels. your intuition as to whether model is on track or getting dumb is always the best source!

(this will not fix it)

i was thinking about getting an alt but instead i just type out the tweet i can't send and then send the screenshot to @0xblacklight and lemme tell ya that man is sitting on a mountain of golden dms
