I had to ask the @FactoryAI Team if this was a typo 0.06x?! How can that be? You can basically use this model all day in @droid and never hit a sub limit GLM-5.3-Flash is the real deal - try it This is not a typo - it’s a gift 🎁

Building apps with Grok @Bot and want to share them? Here’s a Bot for that Bot Rocket deploys your app to your own VM on Exe Dev & runs the hosting for you The whole thing was built by @Droid w/ Grok @Bot running the prompts 🤝
what did you get done with grok @bot last week?

First cut: Dedicated VPS for AI. GrokBot is using the Droid CLI perfectly well. I picked up some tips from an article by @GitMaxd. If you use Droid and GrokBot, it’s worth a read.
I’d like to get your opinion on this. Currently, my AI-related costs are: Factory Plus ($100) X Premium+ ($30) Claude Pro ($20) ChatGPT Plus ($20) Opencode Go ($40) VPS ($45) I’m considering keeping Factory and canceling everything else to upgrade to X Super. Factory already provides access to frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as open-source (OSS) models with generous quotas, so I wouldn’t need Claude, Codex, or Opencode. A VPS would also be entirely unnecessary, given that GrokBot runs on its own cloud-based infrastructure. So, I’d essentially narrow it down to keeping Factory ($100) and X Super ($100). Cursor might actually meet my needs, but I find Factory’s "Harness" feature far too good to give up. How are you all handling this? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Polishing that @Google Map BillBoard graphic display that @FactoryAI’s @samwilhoit_ created for the epic Billboard demo 🔥 @bot driving screen caps Droid doing @droid things
Replying to @samwilhoit_
to understand the placement of the panels in 3d space for the more complex multi-panel layouts, I created a custom 3d visualizer tool to map the billboard video panels onto 3d buildings in google maps. this was a game changer compared to trying to digest 2d spec sheets for each location and adapt each panel design. I fed the billboard spec sheets containing the exact panel sizes, placement, locations etc into @FactoryAI and enabled Google Maps 3d tiles API, and the coding agents were able to place the artwork onto the buildings in the exact configuration and adapt each creative to spec.

Droid works wherever you need it.
Remote Control lets @Droid work there - Your Dev machine - A Cloud VM - your on-prem box Your workspace - Droids hands 🙌

This is .. wtf?! 😳 @elonmusk 🏁🇺🇸
JUST IN: Elon Musk unveils the Tesla Roadster by launching it off a ramp before the car flipped in midair and safely landed on the ground. The car is a collaboration between Tesla and SpaceX. One of the most insane things I've ever seen.

I've been seeing an increase in companies talk about how they have <coding agent> write all their evals automatically based on production traces while i think this is a good start, it's very important to note that if you only ever create evals based on traces generated from your users, you'll only ever have "regression test evals". sure, you should have some of these. but if you're doing eval dev, imo >50% of your time should be in identifying what your agent can in theory handle, and writing evals for that. this will have overlap with what your users are asking of your agent in prod, but it'll also catch issues before your users can you cant just turn prod traces into evals. you need a system which can also identify net-new or potentially lacking areas of your agent, and build evals there

This was an incredible demo! The genius idea by @samwilhoit_ using Google Maps to superimpose a @FactoryAI video on a 3D real-world example Billboards rly hit 🔥 We do need to be more imaginative Spent the day recreating a clone of what I saw - hope to share soon!
how I scaled my design workflow for a global billboard campaign that is live in NYC, Tokyo, London, and cities around the globe using coding agents in @FactoryAI 🧵🧵🧵 this thread is focused on using coding agents to reformat design assets for dozens of billboard panels that are often grouped, cropped, and placed in unexpected ways and less about designing the original motion graphics concept (which was created using a combination of generative AI video footage, and overlay graphics created with code / figma). Before coding agents, formatting all of these panels to spec would take hours / days of non-creative work...

Remote Control lets @Droid work there - Your Dev machine - A Cloud VM - your on-prem box Your workspace - Droids hands 🙌
Today we are introducing Remote Control. Your Droids run on a persistent self-managed remote machine, scoped to an individual user or service.

We all had a great time - It’s so much fun to meet the people you’ve been following and learning from! This @LangChain Interrupt was the first, last year in SF Many memories and friends created that week! 🫶

Had so much fun ending the day with this gang @lgesuelli_p @GitMaxd Shiv, Chaeyoon and Lucas!!!

Watching @FactoryAI rip for the past 2 years has been amazing From a web based app to touching all surfaces of development in just over a year - with a lot more in the pipeline 🚀

Got early access to Factory Environments and it clicked right away define the sandbox once (repos + setup scripts), Factory prebuilds it and it’s always ready for work, from anywhere Nice one @FactoryAI 🔥
This week we're shipping our vision for the best cloud agent experience. We’re starting with an often-overlooked but critical foundation for any agent: the sandbox where it runs. Today, we’re introducing Environments, now generally available.
