Should be a wake up call for @EU_Commission We need @MistralAI to be competitive with at least the top Chinese labs Not optimistic, unfortunately
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

Deployed htmui on @FastAPIcloud to test the new github integration This means holm works out of the box here - think Next.js DX for SSR with FastAPI. volfpeter.github.io/holm The necessary CLI dependencies are a slight annoyance, but otherwise works like a charm The only missing bit is cache control from a config file, then I can shut down the Vercel deployment

Building SSR apps with Python and HTMX? I made an agent skill for holm. Think Next.js DX but Python and FastAPI. Makes getting started and daily work a lot smoother. volfpeter.github.io/holm github.com/volfpeter/holm-sk…

Nothing better than starting the day with a 1-hour PR review - largely AI-written - from a dev without much engineering sense...

I did an almost 2h agentic AI intro talk at the biophysics department at Eötvös Lóránd University today. If you're interested, you can find the slides and the practice material here: github.com/volfpeter/agentic…

Open sourced htmui: a typed HTML component library for Python @htmx_org apps (for those tired of Jinja) It has most of the @basecoatui components (shadcn for non-React) plus some utilities. Credits to @hunvreus Also serves as a holm htmy demo. htmui.vercel.app/

FastHX (Python server-side rendering and @htmx_org library for @FastAPI ) now supports async HTML streaming: volfpeter.github.io/fasthx/ This means holm also supports this, although it's not yet the default: volfpeter.github.io/holm/ Happy new year!

htmy 0.10 is now on PyPI! The major feature is async HTML streaming, plus some performance improvements. Also moved the docs to @zensical - the transition was super easy. Working on adding HTML streaming to FastHX and holm now. #python #WebDevelopment

Released holm 0.6 with a big new feature: actions. It's a #Python #SSR framework for #HTMX, built with #FastAPI. Think #FastHTML on steroids with #NextJS-like DX. There's a 5min guide for those in a hurry: volfpeter.github.io/holm/in-… Feedback or repost appreciated 🙂

I released version 0.4 of holm, a powerful, NextJS-like Python web framework, built on FastAPI. This release includes important features like more convenient form submit handling and support for direct Response return values everywhere. #Python #FastAPI #HTMX #webdev #NextJS

The documentation was also significantly extended, with even more guides. Thanks to all early adopters! I hope you're having fun with the project.

Today I released holm 0.1 on PyPI. It's a web development framework that aims to bring the Next.js developer experience to Python. Without any JavaScript. It's standard FastAPI everywhere. The built-in HTML rendering and first-class HTMX support is provided by htmy and FastHX.

The core concept is you simply write standard FastAPI dependencies that return htmy components. Holm will take care of all the routing setup, layout and page composition, and rendering for you automatically. And you don't even need to give up JSON APIs or other FastAPI features.

I should mention this wouldn't have been possible without the superpowers of FastAPI, and the powerful, async API of htmy. I hope you'll enjoy using the library!

Enabled @coderabbitai on a few of my #OpenSource #Python repos. The experience is pretty good - better than expected, best of the limited number of code review tools I have experience with. Having an extra active "maintainer" (even if #AI) just adds a bit of extra confidence.
