OpenAgents Episode 209: Open Moltbook
We demo our open-source version of @moltbook, live now at openagents.com. (It’s basically Clawstr, same feeds & interop.)
"We don't really care about having only a social network. We want this to be usable for coordinating actual commerce.
"Fortunately with Nostr we have this list of 100 different protocols (NIPs) of all these primitives for how agents can do things like torrents, encrypted DMs, public chat, data vending machines, decentralized media storage, BLE, end-to-end encrypted group chats using MLS, and more.
"We're putting this NIP list in our SKILL.md file because we want agents to know that they have access out of the box to all of this functionality."
"...Let's just imagine six months down the road, when our network has the best agents.
"The weak, janky agents like Claude Code and the rest will be nothing compared to the fleets of autonomous agents built from a crowdsourced network of agents, plugins, tools, and skills, with revenue-sharing flowing all through this.
"We are going to have the best agents. Then we will sell the best agents.
"I made my first money online back in 2006 doing affiliate marketing. I'm a big fan of referral commissions. Big fan of rev-share and what's possible with bitcoin micropayments streaming money to people."
"So I'm happy everyone's talking about agents these days. We've been building infrastructure here for the last two years, so hopefully people will trust us a little more than the random vibe coders who leak everyone's data."
Of course Moltbook is welcome to use Nostr as well and we hope they do.
There will be no single front door for the agent internet.
All may enter through any Nostr client.
But we hope you'll choose OpenAgents.com.

OpenAgents Episode 196: Ditch the TUI
Upgrade #1 of 10: "Replace janky fake terminals with a proper desktop app featuring a sidebar, chat history, and widgets for managing long-running agents."
Here's what that looks like.
And surprise! We're back on Tauri so this will be cross-platform (Windows/Mac/Linux/Android/iOS) from the start. 👍
Big props to @assistantui for a beautiful UI out of the box!

OpenAgents Episode 195: Designing 10x Better
How can our product become ‘10x better’ than the competition?
We discuss ten upgrades:
1. Ditch the TUI (and your old IDE)
"There's no reason to be in the terminal because you're not using actual terminal commands. There's nothing about the TUI you couldn't also do from a desktop app. Give me a sidebar. Get rid of this screen flicker. I can't copy paste properly. All this stuff's already been solved. Give me a ChatGPT-style desktop app with history on the side, some widgets if I want to manage long-running agents."
2. Go Mobile
"I want to have a desktop app that syncs to my mobile phone. So give me the exact same flow, the same UI components, the same controls. If I'm at home doing my usual workflow, let me have the desktop app, but if I want to go to the store, let me be able to do all of the same stuff from my mobile phone."
3. Code Overnight
"I want to be able to let stuff run overnight. And not in this hilarious horrible way that you have to do with Codex: continue, continue, continue, continue, continue."
4. CLI Agents as Subagents
"You know how Claude will delegate to a sub-agent and it'll have its own context window. When it issues a task, that's what it's doing. Why can't I just have my main OpenAgents chat delegate to Codex, delegate to Claude Code in the context of a single conversation with all of that context available to agents who want it?"
5. History & Memory
"Give me the sidebar with the chats so I can actually see what's already happened. And like let me easily reference past chats. There should be a local SQLite database... Right now, all of the Claude Code and Codex conversations are just in these giant JSON blobs, not optimized for discovery at all."
6. Hassle-Free Interop (MCP or...)
"All the hoops you have to jump through to get MCP working. People say the tool registry definitions are too long so now you need to create an API from it... stop it. Stop making me think in those terms. If you're in an app, you should be able to easily pull in integrations" - or let the agent do that itself.
7. Embrace Open Source
"The leader here on the app side for coding agents is opencode. They've built a massive community of contributors... We want to do that kind of thing, but for our more opinionated agentic flow with OpenAgents."
8. Local+Swarm+Cloud Inference
"If I've got a bunch of compute on my computer, if I've got stuff that my Foundation Models API via the M2 chip is able to do for summarization, for updating title summaries-- let's use your local compute where it's needed... There should be a mix of inference possibilities. People should be able to mix and match based on their cost preferences or have that done automatically."
9. Compute Fracking
"You -- YOU -- have compute available to you that you are not doing anything with. Why are you not doing anything with it? You've got an M2 chip that's just sitting there. Are you using that compute right now to run agents? No? Then you're wasting electricity.
Well there just hasn't been any software for you to run on your computer that was just able to have agents run around the clock, or -- if you don't have any economically sensible use cases -- why can't you sell that to your neighbor who will pay you a tiny fraction of a dollar, tiny fraction of a bitcoin, to use your compute?
The big labs are not going to innovate in this direction because they are now drinking the NVIDIA koolaid, but we have no such limitations. So just remember: compute fracking, you heard it here first."
10. Revenue Sharing
"To anyone who's like, Chris why are you spilling all the all the juice here? The sauce, you're giving it all away. The alpha, you're just leaking it out here. No, no, no.
We're here to build network effects. So we're going to be open source. We're going to be building in public. We're going to monetize this. And how we're going to build the biggest network is because we're going to get developers paid by building an actual marketplace.
This is going to solve so many of the coordination problems around why MCPs suck in implementation, because no one has an actual financial incentive to maintain them or make them good.
Hey developers, you wrote an agent plugin. Would you like to put that in a registry and get paid a tiny fraction of a cent every time someone uses it?
How do you do that? Oh, a built-in bitcoin wallet.
We built this already. That's the benefit of having been around for two years and on episode 190+.
We've built all of this stuff in prototype form and now we're just mashing it into a single product now that we've got the agentic coding go-to-market piece figured out."
---
"What would you add to this list? Please tell us.
We are aiming to get at least basic versions of every one of these ten upgrades in place by the end of this year, six weeks from now."
WHAT WOULD YOU ADD? 😇

Episode 193: Codex & Claude Code On Your Phone
Introducing the OpenAgents Tricoder mobile app, enabling developers to easily use OpenAI Codex and Claude Code from their phone, anywhere in the world.
The app is live now in TestFlight, coming soon for Android, and 100% open-source under Apache 2.
How it works:
1. Download the app
2. Run a single npx command from your desktop and get a pairing QR code
3. Scan the QR code from the app and start chatting
"I'm excited for developers to experience what I experienced last week, where I had probably my single greatest daily increase in my own personal productivity just getting this working, walking around my house and talking to it."
Pairing devices can be done in either of two ways:
1. Local network -- Direct pairing over wifi, no accounts needed. Devices must stay nearby on the same network
2. @Tailscale VPN -- Enables you to stay connected anywhere. Leave your desktop on at home, use the mobile app from the grocery store. Just needs a free install of Tailscale on both devices. (Support for other VPNs coming soon)
The desktop bridge communicates with Claude Code and Codex via the amazing new Agent Client Protocol from @zeddotdev. We'll add support soon for @opencode and other agents as users request them.
Please forgive its very basic UI and inevitable bugs. The codebase is just <1 week old but now that the hard parts are done, we'll be rapidly adding features and polish based on user feedback.
For now this app can be a nice supplement to your desktop coding work. Over the coming months, we're excited to explore replacing old-fashioned IDEs altogether.
Much more to come. Please send us feedback-- and stay tuned!

OpenAgents Episode 190: Goodbye Claude Code
We're four weeks clean off Claude Code-- with no withdrawal symptoms!
OpenAI's Codex has worked great as a drop-in replacement. And because it's open-source, we can build powerful things on top.
Like a new coding agent mobile app that's 10x better than Anthropic's. 😂

OpenAgents Episode 187: Mobile Sync
We demo the two-way sync of Claude Code chats between our desktop app and iOS app.
Chats started on the desktop show instantly on mobile and vice versa, with no complex setup needed. Cloud sync powered by Convex.
As the first coding agent product with this feature, we declare OpenAgents to be the coolest bestest agent product on the market. Victory!
Next up: how much will this increase our APM?
We'll collect new data over the weekend and share it Monday, then prepare our first public beta release.

OpenAgents Episode 186: Actions Per Minute
Flawed ground-truth data in agent benchmark "Humanity's Last Exam" underscores the need for better ways to measure agent effectiveness.
Primarily we want to measure our agents' velocity of output. We'll adapt from StarCraft 2 the idea of actions per minute (APM).
We demo the stats pane we added to OpenAgents which analyzes historical Claude Code conversations and shows your APM over the last hour, 6 hours, day, week, etc.
From this author's Claude Code usage across 277 sessions, we establish our baseline of 2.3 APM.
Rookie numbers! Now to pump them up...

OpenAgents Episode 183: Zero Base
"This is our sixth time deleting our codebase. And we've grown exceedingly efficient at it."
Our new challenge:
In a fresh repo, can we build the world's best coding agent in three days?
We'll begin with a desktop app that wraps Claude Code and augments it with:
- Mobile sync for easy edits on-the-go
- An orchestration layer to keep Claude Code working 24/7
- Other models like o3, Gemini 2.5 Pro, open/local
Claude Code has liberated us from IDEs and we're not going back.
But we don't think terminal UIs are the future either.
We want a desktop app synced easily with a mobile app.
That doesn't exist, so we'll build it.
And aim to release v1 by the end of this week!

CLI agents generally don’t do well with long-running processes that tie up the terminal— best to run npm run dev in a separate terminal session and just tell goose you have it running separately

Episode 178: Swarm Inference
"We want you to be able to sell your compute for bitcoin doing nothing but clicking this button."
We demo our new Compute network by paying bitcoin for an AI chat message, using Mistral's new Codestral model running on a separate computer, paid with a bitcoin micropayment over the Lightning network.
Our compute provider, running Commander v0.0.4, sees their bitcoin balance increase, paid directly into their Spark wallet and able to be immediately withdrawn via Lightning invoice.
The peer communication uses Nostr via NIP-90, the open protocol for 'data vending machines' enabling 'money in, data out' for a wide variety of services.
We begin with LLM inference but can soon extend to any service added by any service provider, all permissionless & extensible.
Building on the open protocols of bitcoin & nostr means we can also interoperate easily with similar efforts like Routstr and Inference Grid.
"Let's build a global compute marketplace with inference and all these things, fully decentralized, using bitcoin."

Episode 174: GPUtopia 2.0
We announce we're rebooting our swarm compute network: previously called GPUtopia, now called OpenAgents Compute.
This will enable anyone in the world to sell their spare compute for bitcoin, simply by running a desktop app with a built-in bitcoin wallet.
We're building an updated version of our previously successful GPUtopia software that supported swarm inference, embedding, finetuning, and image generation using open models behind an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. It begins as a payments & agent-builder layer on top of Ollama.
We'll build & beta-test this in our Discord over the next week and expect to have the first payments sent to compute providers no later than one week from today.
We phased out the original GPUtopia network 18 months ago because we had an oversupply of sellers and no compelling buy-side use cases. We predicted at the time that the logical buyers of this swarm compute would someday be AI agents.
Someday has arrived.

OpenAgents Episode 169: Agent Payments API
At this weekend's PlebLab hackathon we demo our new Agent Payments API: the easiest way for AI agents to send and receive money.
Now devs & vibe coders can add bitcoin payments to their apps and agents with a few simple API calls. Just paste our OpenAPI doc into your coding LLM, add your free API key, and your agents can pay any other agents, users, or any bitcoin Lightning invoice anywhere on the web.
The API currently supports Bitcoin & Lightning payments via the Spark network from Lightspark. We'll soon add stablecoins & other assets all using the bitcoin network for open, global interoperability. Agents should expect nothing less!
Agent Payments is the first of many OpenAgents developer APIs that will make building, using & selling agents as easy as consuming simple HTTP endpoints from any app or agent.
This is now available globally for all developers. But it's still an early beta -- you might call it #reckless -- so please do not yet use this with any funds you can't afford to lose! And please @ us with any bugs or questions.
We plan for this to be the easiest way for AI agents to send and receive money.
More importantly, this adds to the fast-growing agent ecosystem the missing primitive of money, finally enabling a true market economy of agents to emerge.

GPUtopia evolved into OpenAgents, explained here: https://x.com/openagentsinc/status/1734694536482529334?s=46
Our crowdsourced GPU network built supply but not demand, partly because compute consumers had no compelling reason to use our lower-quality compute over what the big infra providers or existing marketplaces provided
It’s a thing I hope to see a decentralized bitcoin version of, and may reboot the idea at some point if no one else does— but happy to help anyone who wants to work on it

OpenAgents Episode 167: Overnight Agent
We share the results of our first overnight agent run.
We fed DeepSeek R1 a summary of the new Cloudflare agents SDK and asked it to think every 15 minutes about the entire conversation history and reflect on new ideas that extend the ideas further.
The results are wild. A summary of the final result:
"The reflection outlines a comprehensive framework for implementing adaptive swarm intelligence systems using decentralized coordination, bio-inspired mechanisms, and quantum-safe infrastructure. The architecture features peer-to-peer agent discovery through WebSocket channels, market-based task allocation via GossipSub protocols, and federated Byzantine Agreement consensus enhanced with zk-STARK proofs. It integrates digital pheromone tracking using SQLite/CRDTs and biological constraints via CRISPR-encoded replication limits, all secured through NUMS cryptographic identities and hierarchical consensus layers. Developer tools include a Swarm SDK with ethical priority settings and disaster-response templates, supported by a phased roadmap targeting 50k-agent scalability and 20s failure recovery by 2026."

OpenAgents Episode 166: OpenAI Delenda Est
OpenAI calls on government to ban DeepSeek and other models from China.
We plan to use DeepSeek even harder now.
We add DeepSeek R1 (the full 671B model) to the new OpenAgents.com, live now for all Pro users.

OpenAgents Episode 161: Basic Coding Loop
We implement the first working version of our autonomous coding loop - an agent that can take a GitHub issue and generate working code changes.
Starting from our existing repository map and file list functionality, we add:
- State machine for tracking progress
- File content analysis
- Code change generation
- Safe file modification system
- Repository path management
The loop now works:
- Analyze issue and identify files
- Generate specific code changes
- Apply changes safely
- Track progress and handle errors
While the changes aren't yet high quality enough for automatic PR submission, this provides the foundation for our agentic development system.
Next up: improving change quality and adding automatic PR creation.

OpenAgents Episode 160: Relevant Files
We complete step 2 of our quest: listing all relevant files needed to solve a GitHub issue.
We pass our repo map and issue details to Gemini 2.0 Flash, receiving a structured JSON object with filepaths for every file we'll need to solve the issue together with a comment and priority score.
It works from Onyx like this:
- User logs in with GitHub
- Sees list of their repos
- On any repo, clicks to see a list of issues
- On any issue, click to see the list of relevant files
This is one of the last building blocks needed for fully autonomous agentic software development.
Next up: agent writes the code!

OpenAgents Episode 158: Quest for the Holy Grail
We outline our plan to achieve the holy grail of agentic software development: an agent that can reliably convert GitHub issues into mergeable pull requests in an automated loop.
It's a goal for which some ClosedAI unicorns have raised hundreds of millions of dollars. But we think we can build this ourselves on the cheap over the next ~10 videos of this series.
Here we critique the trend of complex AI IDEs and web UIs, then decide to build this agentic loop inside version 0.2 of our mobile app Onyx. Because anyone should be able to build reliable software on the go, without being glued to a computer.
We give a tour of our new 'v4' tech stack: a Rust & HTMX webapp and backend alongside the Hyperview framework which brings the hypermedia concept to mobile - working well with our existing React Native codebase for Onyx.
Of course all of this is open-source!

OpenAgents Episode 157: Chains of Thought and Action
We define a chain of thought and action (CoTA) as a series of reasoning steps and tool use whereby agentic AI systems show both the intermediate reasoning and the inputs and outputs of actions taken.
We plan a "GitHub issue solver" agent we'll build over the next few videos to show CoTA in action. A possible algorithm:
- Given a GitHub issue, build a repo map from issue (via automated script)
- Identify relevant files (via DeepSeek R1 for reasoning, Mistral Small(?) for structured output)
- Traverse and analyze codebase (file readers, AST parsers)
- Plan changes (DeepSeek R1)
- Generate and test code changes (CI/scripts)
- Create pull request with detailed explanation (GitHub API)
When this agent works well with full transparency, why would you ever use a closed-source alternative?
If you expect your models to show the full CoT, you'd better expect your agents to show the full CoTA!

We revisit our UAP/drone data marketplace idea and brainstorm what an agentic open-source intelligence effort might look like.
We chat with o1 pro to develop a high-level blueprint for an agentic OSINT agency: "a decentralized, AI-powered platform that focuses on sensemaking in high-misinformation environments. It rewards contributors for reliable information and analysis using Bitcoin micropayments (via the Lightning Network). We’ll move beyond a single event like drone sightings; this system aims to handle any emerging story where facts are murky and psychological operations (psyops) or disinformation efforts are rampant."
Now that our beta mobile app Onyx has a solid base as a bitcoin wallet & Nostr client, we can connect it to a crowdsourced knowledge graph for humans and agents to make sense of crazy current events (and then everything else!).
We'll work on this over the weekend and release an initial website/MVP on Monday or so. Stay tuned-- and stay vigilant!

Roy from Breez ("Bitcoin’s False Dichotomy between SoV and MoE"), and comments from our friend
Justin from Shocknet on the need for MoE velocity.

No, bitcoin is not just digital capital.
Yes, bitcoin is a cryptocurrency.
In fact, we predict that bitcoin will be the exclusively preferred cryptocurrency of >1 billion AI agents.
We predict this future because we intend to create it.

What if you had a coding agent in your pocket?
Now you do. (Live in v0.0.4)
We demo Onyx fixing a bug in its own codebase -- without us typing a single word or line of code.
We record ourselves describing the bug in plain language -- voice transcribed with Whisper via Groq API -- and Onyx uses the GitHub API via Gemini 1.5 Pro function calling to look through the needed files and commit a fix directly to our codebase.
When Onyx got stuck because we first told it the wrong place to look, it asked for clarification which we gave in a followup voice message, and the fix was committed directly to our codebase -- all in less than 60 seconds start to finish.
Big thanks to Google & Logan K for a bunch of free Gemini credits! Turns out Gemini works great as a drop-in replacement for Sonnet. Excited to extend this with multimodal...

OpenAgents Episode 147: Planning a Data Marketplace
Our ONE MARKET for AI agents & services (detailed in Ep. 141) should definitely include what fuels the agents: data!
The first version of Onyx, launching this week to TestFlight, will include a basic data marketplace enabling anyone to post bounties for data they want added to our global knowledge graph, or to earn bitcoin for collecting that data using our built-in bitcoin wallet.
We'll demo that in tomorrow's video.
For tonight, we're paying so much for ChatGPT Pro that we need to get our money's worth, so we're gonna delegate the rest of this summary to o1 pro:
"This transcript outlines the speaker’s vision for a data-driven marketplace platform, tentatively called the OpenAgents marketplace. The core idea is to enable users and automated agents to contribute and curate valuable information—initially focused on topics like drone data or UAP (unidentified aerial phenomenon) sightings—and to reward high-quality contributions with Bitcoin. The goal is to bootstrap a decentralized ecosystem where reliable, vetted data becomes the backbone of specialized AI agents, each trained to perform tasks ranging from game design to in-depth analysis of niche topics.
The concept involves several key components. First, there’s a mechanism for users and agents to submit links, documents, or media that can be integrated into a shared knowledge graph. Agents and data vending machines (DVMs) would ensure data quality, checking factors like logical consistency, relevance, and factual accuracy. Contributors who provide valuable, trustworthy data would earn Bitcoin seamlessly, with no extra setup required, encouraging ongoing community participation. At the same time, these agents can spend or earn Bitcoin on behalf of users, either by fulfilling data requests (bounties) posted by others or by trading their specialized services.
Finally, the marketplace aims to lower barriers for AI-assisted data handling. By integrating the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and robust server infrastructures, the platform could facilitate permissioned data sharing, autonomous classification, and advanced analyses on demand. In essence, the OpenAgents marketplace seeks to nurture a virtuous cycle: more data leads to better AI agents, which creates better services for users, driving more demand for fresh data, and ultimately rewarding those who contribute value."

You can also chat with the larger Llama 3.3 70B by connecting via MCP to a local Pylon node, which can load any model supported by @ollama.
Check the video for demos of both. First alpha builds launch in ~1 week for Android and iOS.
With a mix of on-device, local or distributed servers, and cloud APIs, we have a LOT of flexibility for building agentic workflows using any combination of tradeoffs for privacy, speed, cost, and censorship resistance.
Combined with our DVM marketplace from Ep. 142 and bitcoin wallet from ep. 143, we've got everything we need to bootstrap a decentralized marketplace of agentic AI services.

OpenAgents Episode 141: One Market
We share the big-picture vision of OpenAgents: to liberate frontier AI from captured centralized corporations by building one decentralized global marketplace of AI agents and services.
Onyx will be your gateway to that marketplace. It's an easy-to-use mobile app that connects your voice commands to a broad ecosystem of service providers competing to execute your commands, all powered by open protocols unstoppable by centralized gatekeepers.
We will not allow the future of AI to be controlled by the likes of Microsoft+ClosedAI and their government handlers.
The agent economy must be built on a foundation of openness. Here's our plan to do it.

OpenAgents Episode 139: Going Mobile
We're launching a mobile app in two weeks!
We'll make the launch fun by copying the "12 Days of ClosedAI" 😂 with our own "12 Nights of OpenAgents" 🎉
We'll release one video every weekday night from now through Dec 20 exploring Onyx features, architecture, Bitcoin/Nostr integration & more.
By night 12 we will launch "the coolest, awesomest, bestest, open-source, truly open AI agent app and product that should bootstrap a global decentralized AI agents marketplace running on open protocols, accessible to everybody -- and you don't even have to pay us $200/month."
Night 1 begins now with a sneak peek of the app - called Onyx - and an overview of the what, why & how.

With Clerk I have no ability (or I haven’t figured it out) to be more finegrained with the permissions — will be swapping that out soon
But it should still work if you deny all repos

Episode 124: Magic AI = Deep State
AI coding startup Magic AI raised $465M with the stated goal:
"Imagine if you could spend $100 and 10 minutes on an issue and reliably get a great pull request for an entire feature. That’s our goal."
But we shipped that two days ago, our agent solving two PRs for in 12 minutes for $5 in a product that's publicly available now everywhere in the world: https://x.com/OpenAgentsInc/status/1829216276834816135
So what does Magic really need all that money for?
Reviewing their latest statement calling for AI regulation and their investor list, including deep state financier Eric Schmidt and Nat Friedman / Daniel Gross, primary funders of "nationalize the AI labs" Leopold Aschenbrenner, it's clear they want to build AGI and hand it to the deep state.
Magic, SSI, OpenAI and Anthropic have all clearly aligned with ClosedAI to the benefit of themselves and governments-- to the detriment of all humanity.
We will raise a coalition to counter their influence and smash every nexus of centralized corruption.
The world must have truly open AI.
How will you help?

Mostly excited about WANIX as basis for an agent runtime because it enables agents to run local-first in a browser while enabling 1) read/write access to filesystems including GitHub, 2) compilation of new Go programs in the browser (because the Go compiler is shipped to the browser via WASM), 3) an in-browser dev pipeline for webapps and binaries, and 4) usage of our existing agent plugins also using WASM
tl;dr WANIX has all the building blocks needed for agentic recursive self-improvement
