Introducing Agent Mode: Agentic AI is now measured in the Arena. Agent Mode can do deep research, create reports, generate images, build websites, debug code, and more. It completes more complex tasks by using tools like web search, bash in a sandbox environment, image generation, file writing, and asking follow-up questions. Frontier models are waiting for you in Agent Mode to take on real-world tasks. GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.7, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and top open models. Test them yourself.

Trigger.dev lets developers add AI agents to their products with a simple SDK, handling execution, long-running workflows, and reliability so they don't have to. Over 90% of their usage now comes from agent workflows, and they recently announced their $16M Series A led by Standard Capital. In this episode of Founder Firesides, co-founders @mattaitken and @maverickdotdev sat down with YC's @koomen to talk about three versions of the product before finding product market fit, how building async infrastructure for two years accidentally put them in the perfect position for the agent era, and why they think the future of computing is programmatic checkpoint and restore — freezing and resuming compute on demand.

Switching from Node to @bunjavascript gave us a 5x speed boost (28x better max latency) but there was a gotcha… Pending response promises don't resolve on client disconnect. @nodejs handles this automatically. Fix: resolve disconnects with 499. trigger.dev/blog/firebun

We're launching RunClaw to kill OpenClaw. OpenClaw costs $700 to set up. RunClaw costs $1 no setup. > OpenClaw can’t build you a website > Can’t generate a video > Can’t make a slide deck > Has 9 security CVEs RunClaw does all of it. Better agents. More secure. Always in your DMs. Try it now for $1.
Community note
This post states that OpenClaw costs $700 to set up. However, it is free and open source, and can run on most modern computers. Conversely, Runable charges $25/month, the "$1" number is only a sign-up discount. Runnable paywalls actions, so you have to upgrade. Source: runable.com/pricing, github.com/openclaw/openc…
