Last month, I completed my Postgraduate Diploma in AI and Machine Learning at the Asian Institute of Management. 🎓 @aim_edu But here's the part I sat with before posting: I enrolled as a Director of Product Management. I graduated as a Staff Applied AI Engineer. When I started, I just wanted to understand how AI models actually work under the hood, instead of treating them as a black box I built products around. And there's a funny irony in that. When I enrolled, Sonnet 4 was the frontier. By the time I graduated, we were on Fable and Mythos. The field jumped a full generation and more while I was studying it. But that's exactly why the internals mattered more than any single model. Learn how the engine works, and you stop panicking every time they ship a faster car. I walked into rooms with engineers as a "product person who gets AI" quietly wondering if I belonged. Building Daily and Understanding what's actually happening inside these models is what closed that gap. Not the credential. The comprehension. And the compounding was real. My confidence changed. My income changed. I started building ChalkAgents.com, I joined @CopilotKit as a Staff Applied AI Engineer. None of that is a straight line from a diploma, but it's where I stopped doubting I could do the work, and started just doing it. To anyone stuck between "I understand the product" and "I can engineer the product": Close the gap on purpose. It changes more than your résumé. On to what's next. 🚀

We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent. It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf.

Why did Codex Astra suddenly become dumb? I was so good when it launched, made me switch from codex to claude, then Demo day came and it feels like it just got fucked up.

INTRODUCING: CopilotKit CLiF A platform for Continual Learning from Full-stack Trajectories. Teach your agents how work gets done by turning the work users & employees do into: → Exportable datasets (of trajectories) → Evals (bring into platform of choice) → Skills → Fine-tuned models Your users already do the exact tasks you're trying to teach your agent, every day. Yet months of evals and engineering leave out your most important dataset... Product trajectories. AG-UI already sees every step your agent takes. Now it can also securely capture what your users do: what was on their screen, the buttons they clicked, the server requests they triggered. Together that's a full-stack trajectory. Your people already do the work. Now agents can learn it from them. Compatible with your existing observability and evals stack. Fully self-hostable. @CopilotKit CLiF is in private alpha. Book a demo / Get early access: go.copilotkit.ai/get-clif More below 👇

What about the Pro 500? Can we please do better at communicating AI Capacity? This is just absurd trust me bro numbers.
Tibo
@thsottiauxSep 29
I’ll explain the new Pro 200 plan differently, before I start live tweeting from DevDay on things that are going out! Today we are going to ship a number of things that increase what you can do across the Plus and Pro plans. A lot of compute is online for this increase. As we increase the floor, we are changing the relative difference between plans to be Plus = 1X Pro 100 = 5X Pro 200 = 10X and we are reopening subscriptions for Pro 200 (we had paused it). If you have an existing plan you will keep the 20X multiplier for a bit and also receive a lot of additional credits because we know changes are hard even if it means that everyone will get more in the end.
