garrytan · x · 2026-09-29

Garry Tan boosted a batch of updates to the coding assistant @AsideAI: its compaction and "dreaming" mechanisms now use 7-14x fewer tokens and 60-93% less memory/CPU, stuck-task bugs while waiting on subagents are fixed, agents no longer steal focus, /feedback auto-fixes are live, and tab naming has shipped. Upcoming: a faster, more token-efficient harness, custom keyboard shortcuts, and per-profile background colors.
