Should we bring this back?
We had a fun idea with @zhygis for doing ad auctions over @mpp a while ago, which would allow any app to subsidize its users' costs via the ad providers - didn't ship it tho but was a fun hack

Get paid to wait
The Claude Code spinner might be the most watched line on Earth.
So I turned it into an ad marketplace.
Advertisers bid on it. You keep 50% of the money.
Install the extension → get cash from ads.

Monday: Darkbloom goes live on OpenRouter.
Every OpenRouter user gets a free trial of private inference, powered by idle Macs around the world.
And for providers -- next week we're launching an Alpha Rewards Program: earn up to $40 guaranteed just for running a node. Limited time while we're in alpha. Breakdown in the replies.
The network is ready for it. Since our Public Alpha two weeks ago: Gemma 4 is now multimodal, SSD caching has made time-to-first-token much faster, and load tests show we can sustain millions of tokens per second -- with more upgrades landing before launch.
If you run a node: turn it on. Demand arrives Monday.
If you have a Mac: darkbloom(.)dev → one install command and you're earning.
The world's sleeping compute is waking up.

as always, avoid lock-in, abstract the provider and self-host as much as possible

Even if you dont have an ethical/moral stance on the limitations of Anthropic models, there's a practical business one:
I will avoid Anthropic models because they keep imposing more limits on the products I can build. I'm not going to build on a completely walled off ecosystem.

i feel for the startups that are locked in on giga enterprise contracts and will feel big pains in a year or two

our stack is CF and bare metal for two different types of software - nothing inbetween
Jun 10
was interviewing a new grad & i didn't blink an eye when he used cloudflare instead of aws for his system design
cf's engineering, product, design, & marketing have been completely reoriented around building things agents want & leading indicators show they were correct to have done so
it's not impossible to think that cf could flip aws in market cap within the next 5 years. we are still very early in the ai cycle
many things have yet to really start changing

both have its place, but CF has been pretty incredible to work w/ (other than the fact that AWS's account management solution is a bit more flexible)

We moved 300TB of Solana archive data from ClickHouse to RocksDB
Everyone's first reaction: "Why would you ever do that?"
Because it halved our storage and made our slowest queries ~10x faster
Solana has outgrown its initial read layer
So, we rebuilt it

Web search and extract (fetch) in Centaur is now free by default, powered by Parallel in collaboration with @paradigm. No API key or account needed.
Try it with your agents @ centaur.run

new age product management
We're hacking in person @tempo today, so what more fun than chat-native stablecoin micropayments on Slack and X?
Tag your friend, tip them for their hard work!
Works with a tenth of a cent, or any dollar amount you want!
Demo in reply :)

the problem with being really productive in big bursts as you figure out unknown-unknowns is that you have to bring the stone tablets back down from mt. sinai and explain to the team why the branch is 20kloc

bullish on owning your own sandboxes
Forking this and rewriting in Rust.
We are going to try and separate agent controllers from agent execution and thread in a way that each request gets its own isolate within k8s CRDs (so long as each req is unique).
i.e. Each conversation can get its own instant k8s sandbox.

seeing people adopt Centaur Workflows internally has been super fun - it's been used on all teams from engineering to marketing
one good example is our "monitorink" workflow that watches our Kubernetes clusters for any regressions / drifts, things that we wouldn't be looking for

our marketing team shipped a SEO analysis workflow that checks all of our public content for easy SEO issues nightly and suggests fixes that we can apply ourselves

the Tempo events team runs a workflow that syncs our events calendar with Linear projects.
the fun thing about this one is that Centaur already has access to most of our systems, but doesn't require an agent turn in its' workflows – meaning we can replace tools like Zapier
