CloudWatch Logs bills uncompressed bytes. Transit Gateway and PrivateLink bill wire bytes. With OTLP + zstd at ~5x, moving a GB of logs over TGW costs about $0.004 vs $0.67 to ingest it in Sydney. Price the network on compressed bytes, then stop worrying about it. #aws

Probably stating the obvious here but something I've been thinking about lately is that agents should be given sandboxes, not tools. What do you think?

So MiniMax 3.1 Flash kinda sucks. Seems to just churn away doing god knows what.

Bye Amazon Prime. Should have cancelled when ads were introduced on the streaming service. Now with a 30% price increase I'm done. See ya!

Platypus v3.23.0 is out. Adjacent tool calls in a chat now collapse into one Tool call group. A turn with a dozen web searches and file reads takes one row instead of twelve, and each call is still a click away. Link in the comments! 👇 #AIAgents #OpenSource

Given Anthropic buying bun and now CloudFlare buying Deno I'm glad I chose boring old Node.js for Platypus 🙂

Platypus v3.19.0 is out! Skills are now file bundles, not a single SKILL file. Import and export them as zips, agents can read bundled files with the new readSkillFile tool, and the bundle is copied into the Sandbox when the skill loads. github.com/willdady/platypus

Design question for Platypus: should a remote A2A agent be a tool your agent calls, or a first-class agent you can pick anywhere a native one appears, with a badge so nobody mistakes it? #ai #a2a

Platypus agents now speak A2A 1.0. Create an endpoint for an agent, point Hermes or any other A2A client at it, and you can chat with the agent from there. Each conversation also shows up as a normal chat you can carry on in the web UI. #ai #opensource github.com/willdady/platypus

So there is both a new GTA and Guitar Hero-like game coming out soon. What year is it again?

Who's building an agent-first messaging app for mobile. I'm thinking Telegram but with better UX, less noise. Something open, which works with personal agents like Hermes.

Platypus 3.14 is out. The version number is irrational, but the changes aren't. There's a new one-line installer and if an MCP server can't be reached, a turn now uses its last-known tools. Plus 26 bug fixes. 🐞 #ai #aiagents #opensource #selfhosting github.com/willdady/platypus

Running team AI agents shouldn’t mean handing your data to another SaaS. Platypus is an open-source, self-hosted full-stack application for teams building AI agents on their own infrastructure and models. It helps you assemble agents that can reason, call tools, and run on schedules by bundling agent configuration, reusable skills, sandboxed execution, and workspace controls in one application. Key features: • Agents, skills & sub-agents – define an agent’s model, instructions, and tools, then add reusable skills and delegated sub-agents • MCP support – connect agents to local and remote data sources through Model Context Protocol • Isolated sandbox – provide shell and filesystem access in a per-workspace environment, with Docker and SSH reference backends • Schedules & webhooks – run agents on cron or one-off schedules and receive HMAC-signed callbacks with filtering and retries • Provider choice – use hosted, proxied, or local models through providers including OpenAI-compatible endpoints It’s open-source (MIT license).
