gavmor: I should probably try cmux+worktrunk again, but agent-of-empires works pretty good so far.
hungryhobbit: I don't understand how random thoughts on X are front-page news on Hacker News.If some tech CEO makes a major announcement on X, it's newsworthy and belongs here. Anything else that's actual news is also fair game ... but all other X posts do not belong here!
mhitza: It easily reaches the front-page for people with a following. I don't think many votes are necessary to get to the front page. And when there's some critical insight or leak.Aside from that I've seen few posts on X that didn't follow the pattern, and were short lived at the top.
radial_symmetry: The VSCode forks all do too much, Nimbalyst is built from scratch to be a proper agent manager. https://nimbalyst.com/
oceanwaves: I've been working on re-imagining the useful parts of Antigravity (Agent Manager) into an orchestrator that is tightly coupled with an LLM-optimized spec: https://thinkwright.ai/plexusEarly days and would appreciate any feedback
tmp10423288442: Karpathy is a notable researcher and broader AI leader. Among many, many other things, he invented the term "vibecoding". He also recently posted his autoresearcher project, which is using a swarm of agents to optimize the LLM training and recently produced a training process that is the fastest to achieve GPT-2-level performance using a very small model.
theodorewiles: Yeah I vibe coded a simple app that takes an org-mode file, renders it as a kanban board, and lets me spin up agents for each task with the prompt in the body in a named tmux session. The frontend gets updated via Claude code hooks when an agent is idle.I think the key is to combine human and agent task tracking in one pane of glass.
keithnz: Intent from augmentcode is trying to be this https://www.augmentcode.com/product/intent
dominotw: who the hell made that demo video. i want to quickly see how it works not unskippable video of some person blabbering.they had my attention. now they lost it.
hungryhobbit: That's great, he sounds like a great guy ... when he say something newsworthy (on X or anywhere else), it might deserve to be here.But his random thoughts on X do not.
verial-lab: I appreciate Karpathy for thinking out loud like this. We all feel the shift toward orchestration — it's on every builder's mind right now. We just haven't seen a UI that fits yet.I love seeing people experiment with RTS game UIs as agent orchestration interfaces — the metaphor fits (multiple units, fog of war, resource management). Mostly demos so far, but the creative potential is huge.The biggest challenge is that as LLM costs drop dramatically each year, the number of agents able to be orchestrated grows orders of magnitude. So the UI needs to be able to compress this growing information into something meaningful for effective human steerability. A constant moving target.What's interesting is that the tooling seems to be moving closer to the metal (CLI, APIs, infrastructure) rather than up toward better visual interfaces.My bet is that the orchestration infrastructure underneath is more durable than any UI layer. I've been building an orchestration system focused on reusable workflows, observability, and feedback loops — and I think that foundation holds even as the interface keeps changing.
