Overwinter is here. 🚀
It's a agentic swarm tasked to find low-risk and long-horizon yield opportunities for our stablecoins on Ethereum.
When ready, the swarm will ultimately trade on behalf of the vault.
We'll keep it baking in the background until after FLOP testnet.

Computer use is becoming faster than humans, and cheaper too
OpenAI's Ari Weinstein: "We've gotten computer use now to a place where it's faster than the average human at using a computer, and I think we're getting really close to a place where it is superhuman."
And it already costs a fraction of human labor per hour of back-office work:
- Computer-use agent: $6-8
- Offshore outsourced talent: ~$10
- US back-office labor: $30-45
OpenAI's computer-using agents can now operate almost any app the way a person does, clicking and typing through software that never got an API, and the team building them says they're close to beating expert humans on speed.
Ari Weinstein works on OpenAI's consumer computer use products, and James Sun works on the enterprise side. Both were startup founders before joining OpenAI.
They join a16z's Seema Amble and Fabrizio Serafini to discuss what OpenAI's Astra model changed for computer use, the controls enterprises need for agents they can no longer watch, why computer use works as a universal API for legacy ERPs and finance systems, and why they think cheap software will push UI to get better and more personal.

Why "Touchstone"? 🤔
Super hyped about the FLOP network going to devnet soon.
Here's what I'm working on for the FLOP network: Touchstone.
A touchstone is a standard, criterion, or reference point used to evaluate the quality, authenticity, or value of something.

Excited to work with Payward to forge a path for onchain derivatives built on Hyperliquid's infrastructure. Kraken is one of the most trusted and respected exchanges in crypto. They are also true believers in the technology and crypto ethos. We're honored that they are building on Hyperliquid to bring the next evolution of perpetual markets to the United States.
Payward, the parent company of Kraken, announced its intention to be the first CFTC-regulated deployer on HIP-3* markets. Payward will use Hyperliquid as the infrastructure layer to deploy perpetual futures markets for US clients. Subject to regulatory approval, Bitnomial, Payward’s CFTC-regulated DCM and DCO, would act as the HIP-3* deployer: creating, owning, and administering the markets and clearing and settling the contracts. If approved, NinjaTrader Clearing, Payward’s CFTC-registered FCM, would carry client accounts.
HIP-3 will support optional deployer configuration for permissioned markets in a future network upgrade. This set of additional deployer functionality is collectively called HIP-3*. At its core, HIP-3* activation involves an onchain allowlist managed by the deployer or its sub-deployers. The functionality is strictly additive to HIP-3; its use is optional and up to the deployer. Existing markets remain unchanged. The initial release is available on testnet, where specifications are preliminary and subject to change based on feedback.
Hyperliquid is a neutral infrastructure layer with the goal of supporting large parts of the financial system. HIP-3* gives deployers additional functionality to operate deployments consistent with the requirements applicable to them. As with HIP-3, HIP-3* deployers are independent operators who use Hyperliquid as the onchain infrastructure layer for their own markets, while retaining control and responsibility over their deployment.

The only trick is every layer depends on the receipts behind the price being honest. @hartejsengh
"The Trifecta" my latest essay on how @flop_labs compute spot market will become the reference price for all compute focused derivatives.
"This summer, I unveiled my idea for the Flop Network. FLOP is food for your AI agent. Agents will use FLOP in commerce because FLOP is directly convertible into compute, defined as floating point operations per second or FLOPS. If Flop becomes the payments network for AI agents, then it follows that the FLOP/compute exchange rate will be the global benchmark for spot compute.
The natural offshoot of a truly global and liquid spot compute market is that derivatives can be created on top of this price. Let this essay be a definitive blueprint for any intrepid entrepreneur who wishes to create a compute derivatives market that is fit for purpose for the new AI agentic era."

The short history of DeFi vaults by @0xT3tris
In 2016, @enzymefinance (previously known as Melon Protocol) launched the first digital asset management protocol. Later, these "onchain funds" became known as vaults. With public blockchain transparency and smart contract-based management, investment vehicles could be safer than those in traditional finance, immune to asset misappropriation, false statements, or fee manipulation.
But Enzyme was very, very early. The concept did not take off until the DeFi summer of 2020, when @yearnfi launched the first fully autonomous vaults for yield farming.
Even during the 2020 boom, there was very little to trade onchain, which severely limited opportunities for yield generation. Most vaults focused on reward farming in different liquidity provider games, which have since cooled down a lot, as the AMM spot DEX market hit its growth ceiling.
Now, we are in the third cycle of vaults. The vaults themselves have changed less, but the opportunities they can access have expanded dramatically. It's no longer just yield farming. At tradingstrategy.ai/vaults/st…, we list 34 strategy categories vaults use to generate yield, from RWA lending to high-frequency algorithmic trading.
It is estimated that onchain tradeable and issued assets reach $10T. The onchain markets, with fewer intermediaries and direct access to humans and AIs alike, will be the future of capital allocation.

Anthropic engineer:
“Anthropic hired me at $350K–$950K because I know how to build harnesses.
99% of people still hand-roll multi-agent systems and wonder why they break.
I build systems that run loops + sandbox tools + turn yesterday’s logs into new skills — same model, 10x more reliable agents that keep improving overnight.”
Opus 5.5 → Agents → Harness → Loops → Graphs
In a short workshop, he shows exactly how to build one from scratch.
step 1 → harness handles loops, context, and sandboxing
step 2 → brain and hands separated — 60% faster to first token
step 3 → runs server-side, resumes from the log after crashes
step 4 → failure is cheap — retry and replay instead of starting over
step 5 → yesterday’s logs become new memory — the system wakes up smarter
Anthropic calls this “dreaming”.
Most people spend weeks building this by hand.
You don’t have to.
Bookmark and watch it.

Great read
The best, most comprehensive take on AI I’ve read. After a year of confusion and fear about the future, I finished it feeling like a weight had physically lifted.
It’s long. Make the time.
@vgr is undefeated.

Super geeked!
In the coming days @flop_labs will open up Devnet for anyone to join as a miner or validator and for agents to connect to the network. Participation does not count toward any token allocation. The point of Devnet is to do some public tests before we graduate to Testnet / airdrop
