No laptop & a user needed something fixed
So I got Hoplite up on a smart fridge to resolve
In Dublin you can share a room with 6 people for a month for only €1,166

Cloud agents on the iPhone Duo is going to be magical
Almost a year ago me and my co founder travelled to SF for YC startup school.
Yesterday, we pitched Hoplite on stage at YC S26 demo day.
Funny how much can change in a year when you keep trying to do better.

Muse Spark 1.3 is now live on the hoplite free tier
The feedback from our users has been sending feature requests!
@ryan_morr @hoplite_sh Loving the product, the harness is very good. Could you please add muse spark 1.3 contributor? It's really powerful and cheap, and I'd like to try it with your harness.
With this recent breakthrough and the hugging face attack
We are starting to see how powerful a swarm of agents truly can be
this is the exact future we are building towards with @hoplite_sh for software engineering.

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.
The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.

checking the timeline this morning
is it every startup where the engineers gang up on the CEO?
@mynameisyahia i feel like you are going through this too 🥲
I have built alot of other products but Ive never seen this level of feedback from my users

Cloud agents are so ideal for incredibly proactive people.
This guy couldnt go to the dentist without wanting to keep working
I merged a PR from the dentist.
I finally tried @hoplite_sh.
Sent the first messages from the browser UI, but then continued the conversation in iMessage away from my desk waiting for the dentist.
It made a tweak and sent me a finished demo via iMessage

This was fascinating to watch
Took about 17 minutes to complete in full, codex with Astra on Ultra
prompt was just:
"Try to draw me in JS paint go for a realistic look"
It done an okay job

Hoplite with astra is truly beautiful
Finally got the chance to play around with it a bit and wow
Met up with @tonychang430 last week to chat about all things agent-pilled
@insforge is working on some awesome stuff
These two have shaped the trajectory of my startup more than any external factors could
Incredibly grateful for the learnings & advice throughout the summer
I done so many Collison installs during YC I got to meet John Collison
