victormustar · x · 2026-07-31
A developer has released a crash course on tau (𝛕), a Python port of the pi framework. Designed as a terminal-based AI agent harness, tau retains the same event streams, tools, and system prompts as its predecessor.
The project aims to push the boundaries of terminal-based agent orchestration, allowing developers to leverage Python for automated workflows.
