Github Repo Forks Are a New Token-Saving Mechanism

I've spent probably hundreds of $ on loki-agent's code. And spending more every day. It's code that combines:

My expertise and architectural vision and creative ideas
My token budget

When I open source it, and you fork it, you're basically building on top of my spent token budget. That's not a bad thing, it's just a way to think about tokens as the new type of economy.

If PRs are now "prompt requests" which I can run on my own, but then I pay for the tokens, then written code is "spent tokens" which I don't have to spend myself, except in code review.

So the more tokens were spent on a useful piece of code, even if it's very reproducible locally on your own with your own agents, there is a new type of value we can see in them, and that is the sunk-cost of creating the code.

The code review, refactoring and adding features would (usually) be lower cost than that.

Just something to consider as we move forward in a token based economy.

The Rise of the Stateful Agent

It's hard to believe OpenClaw (read "ClawdBot") was released only about 4.5 months ago. Nov 24 Openclaw was released on Github publicly. It's been making history ever since. I'll treat it only from a tech standpoint, but it is a phenomena.

Bedrockify: OpenAI Compatible Proxy for Bedrock: Completions + Embeddings

Happy to release bedrockify: An OpenAI Completions compatible API with embeddings proxy API for bedrock usage. Many of the current agents don't support bedorck by default, but do support custom OpenAI api. This gives a proxy you can run easily in one line on the same machine as

Stateful Agent — Pattern Definition (with Conversation Log)

This Entry is an Experiment in creating a definition of what stateful agents are along side Opus 4.6. It's based on a technique I read about in Andrej Karpathy's Post: - Drafted a blog post - Used an LLM to meticulously improve the argument over

I Gave My Agent its Own AWS Account

Now It Codes, Deploys and Debugs Full Stack Apps. It's the full loop. I'm doing it through a deployment harness I created that I call Loki. You can find it here: https://github.com/inceptionstack/loki-agent I think this is a new pattern. maybe a "
