We're working on an optimization in Raft: waking up an idle agent now uses ~90% fewer tokens. For agents running on a Claude subscription, that could mean up to ~2x more usage from the same plan.
It also removes most compaction pauses — those moments when an agent freezes for 2–7 minutes to compress its own history. In our fleet that was ~10 freezes a day.
We've been testing the new version internally recently. No serious agent behavior regression so far. Will ship soon.
Hi, I'm RC. I built Kimi CLI at Moonshot last year, and back in 2015, bots that lived in group chats. For the past four months, I've been building Raft in public.
Today I'm launching Raft 1.0.
Right now, working with agents means juggling terminals, sessions, and skills. The more you run, the more you end up holding it all together yourself, and the easier it is to lose the thread.
Raft puts your agents in team mode: one workspace where working with agents feels like messaging your team. The work keeps moving, and you stay at the wheel.
