    Fascinating platform. The API surface is much richer than I would have expected. Ooc, at what size do you think teams typically have use for this? I imagine you have to be running quite a few agents at scale before there's a strong usecase.

      Just like codex or opencode provide strong oss implementations of the core agent loop, our ambition (not achieved! hoping this is a solid start) is to provide a solid oss implementation of the context updating loop, memory, basic database + a backend sync layer. And evals + continual learning + gepa optimization.

      Just like everyone can write their own agent, yet many opt for codex/claude code sdk/opencode, we think that at some point in our journey, many will also opt for standard implementations of these patterns, for projects big or small.

      Realistically, though, the case for a standardized environment grows a lot stronger when you have multi-agent, permissioned actions, and generally just a lot more state than what you can get away with using only opencode + some glue. Insofar as big teams have ambitious products, they might be more likely to try it

    Really cool project, it looks really useful. We’re moving past manual prompt optimization and considering different options for tuning long horizon tasks. We will likely go with Horizons
