Loops are apparently the new hotness with AI but I'm curious to hear from folks on how their experience. Namely: - Whats your daily/monthly running costs? Is it cost prohibitive for a normie? - Do you self host or run externally? - What model do you typically use? - Any other big takeaways / gotchas? I do think loops are the logical next step, but just trying better understand them and figured others would probably benefit as well. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48572937 Poin

For a decade, Vercel has shaped how the web gets built. Now, we’re doing the same for agents. The companies that win the next decade will build on infrastructure designed for agents from the start, and over 2,500 people gathered in London this week to do just that at Vercel Ship 2026. Agentic infrastructure Guillermo kicked off Ship by sharing his vision for Vercel: a true full-stack platform where you can deploy anything, including software that can think. Agentic infrastructure has three parts

Alternate title: Which AI subscription are you paying for right now, and why? Currently I'm not really paying for any AI subscription. I'm largely reliant on the company's Claude offering but I'd like to separate my personal stuff from work. I've checked out the following ~20$/month plans and have some thoughts: * Claude seems to be the most capable, but the app was pretty terrible when I tried it a couple of months ago, I rant into frequent rate limits, crashes, etc. It was just not that reliab

We’re launching Cohort 2 of our 2-day intensive, cohort-based course, Build with Claude Code, taught by John Kim, who has trained hundreds of engineers at Meta to use Claude Code in real production workflows.

Today we're introducing new capabilities on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, the platform to build, connect, and optimize agents. In this post, we cover how these capabilities close each gap: connecting agents to organizational, web, and paid knowledge; helping teams find and fix what's going wrong in production; and enforcing controls that scale as agents grow more capable. Together, they help you build more capable agents faster, govern them with controls that scale, and improve them continuously.

Musicians are accustomed to getting paid each time their creative work is used. Across vinyl/CD sales, streams, radio, cover versions, and those numerous niches like karaoke, there are agreements in place about what “use” means. Underlying this is a simple economic principle: The more something is used, the more money it makes. Generative AI has complicated the definition of use . On the one hand, you could argue that the use of a piece of musical training data happens just once, at the point of

AWS introduces Web Search on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, a fully managed tool that enables agents to ground responses in current, cited web knowledge with zero data egress from customer's secured AWS environment. You can focus on building agents instead of manually adding web search to agents on Bedrock AgentCore and managing its infrastructure.

Trust is the biggest barrier to AI adoption, says AI chief, claiming that new features in Bedrock AgentCore will prevent bad outcomes
