🆕: @Meta and @stripe are partnering to make it easy for businesses to accept agentic payments using the @Muse Connector Platform. Learn more: • https://t.co/kGsKMULe3m • https://t.co/Fn5U2QRaaz • Email jweinstein@ / @jeff_weinstein Quoting @finkd Opening access for developers to build Muse connectors. You bring the API -- Muse brings the agent, the browser, and the context of what the person actually wants. People reach your service just by asking for it, and their agent takes it from there. New connectors are live today. Come build with us. Related

Bluesky Still really enjoying Muse. I use Things.app for all of my todos, and though it has cloud sync they (still) haven’t added an official API. I told muse to build it and a minute or two later I have ongoing todo sync from my LLM across all my Apple devices. Wild. LLMs Related

🌶️Codex can do a anything Muse, Bot etc can do quite easily I get the appeal in the form factor “less is more” but if you are already a codex desktop and are a power user (computer use, remote access, thread management, voice control etc), YAGNI I still like playing with the other things for educational purposes but also need to avoid tool sprawl unless there is a real benefit Related

Former L8 engineer at Meta, Microsoft and Atlassian, now writing and building solo on agentic engineering. Writes Kun's Field Notes and posts a lot about AI coding agents on X.
every model provider should learn from meta's pricing model for muse spark, with fully transparent subsidization labeled for the contributor tier stop doing "in order to use our model at a good price, you must use our harness which secretly collects your data and/or upload your codebase" meta clearly proved there's a way to collect training data without relying on a harness. just be transparent about when you collect data vs not, clearly communicate how much the data is worth, and give the choice to the user and i really don't need your harness. i already have SO MANY state of the art harness… Related

there's a lot of product magic in agents like muse or instinct in making auth into websites work. however, there still seems to be some ways to go given the various login systems you run into (passkeys, OTP via text or email, 2fa, "auth on other device"). Related

OpenAI solving one of the most famous math problems is extremely impressive, and of little impact to most people's lives; Meta's Muse agent launch has the potential to be the exact opposite.

AI research engineer working on large language models. He writes the Ahead of AI newsletter and is the author of Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch).
Whoa, Meta released a new open-weight LLM yesterday, something that hasn't happened since the good old Llama days. Their Meta Muse Glimmer model is a 30B multimodal reasoning model with a Gemma-like architecture design. (“Glimmer” is probably a wordplay on “Spark,” the more likely capable model from which Glimmer was distilled. Muse Spark is only available through Meta’s Model API, though.) Architecture-wise, here are some of the main points: 1. "Only" a 131k context window, compared to Qwen3.6 and Gemma 4, which support 2x that natively; it's reasonable, but maybe on the shorter end in the a… LLMs Related

Their words
Hit Man (US) 3.5 Highly entertaining due to its killer plot. So why not a higher rating? I was disappointed that Linklater did so little with the plot—much of the execution (not all) is fairly bland. Where’s the style? As a comedy, it’s only OK. As film noir, it’s nowhere near as intense as Body Heat. It’s sort of Soderbergh-lite. And yet more people will like this one than any other film on my list, because of the great plot.

Their words
Mind candy horror/mystery, stalking and being stalked by the somewhat-supernatural serial killer, with extensive local color for contemporary South Africa. There are rough patches, but it's a perfectly enjoyable specimen of this type of novel. It's obviously the set-up for a series, and I'm not sure I need to follow these characters, but I would be happy to read more by Snyman.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
