Not really, is a offline chess page not an app? It seems like it would be closer to an app.

Yes, agreed on SQLite/Postgres. But I'm going to benchmark RocksDB next and see what the performance characteristics are. I suspect the LSM tree storage engine of RocksDB might perform better since agents are so write heavy when running highly concurrent workloads. After all, you are streaming LLM tokens into disk and fanning them out to subscribed clients.

SQLite is surprisingly performant for single node applications even when comparing to Postgres. Postgres consumes a lot more memory and requires IO to hop through IPC whereas you can keep everything in process in SQLite with a shared connection pool.
I've been testing different storage engines for my agent harness and I can get up to 7.5k concurrent sessions on a single vCPU with SQLite whereas Postgres crashes or runs out connections.

It doesn't quite work: https://gitclassic.com/pixijs (repos.filter is not a function)
Also it seems to get rate limited, but good work.

In your pilots so far, what's the feedback you've gotten?

This is really funny to watch and see what the LLMs are thinking. This makes me think how they would perform against a custom ML model trained with RL, e.g. https://ai.meta.com/blog/rebel-a-general-game-playing-ai-bot...

You should push the knob with a paper towel instead. I do this at all small public restrooms.

Hey everyone, I recently got started in machine learning and ran into a few hiccups setting up our infrastructure. This post shares how I finally got things working in the end.
