Comet just open-sourced the Opik Agent Optimizer SDK, a new tool designed to automate and systematize prompt/agent optimization for LLM applications. If you’re tired of manual prompt tweaking, this SDK lets you run optimizer algorithms (Bayesian, evolutionary, meta-prompt, etc.) against your own datasets, regardless of framework or model provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, etc.).
100% but this is not the same thing, nor is this going to replace the agent SDK (or visa versa). Agents will always need some form of communication protocol, if we look at the world and agentic frameworks its a sea of logos and without some forms of open standards this would be hard.
I'm currently at Comet and I have personally worked on MCP implementations AND have made some contributions to Agent SDK in the form of a native integration and improvement to test suite.
I think the key to what OpenAI is pushing towards is simplicity for developers through very easy to use components. I won't comment on the strategy or pricing etc, but on first glance as a developer the simple modular approach and lack of bloat in their SDK is refreshing.
Kudos to the team and people working on the edge to innovate and think differently in an already crowded and shifting landscape.
Once you start adding Google, you'll inevitably be forced to support apple sign in and all the others.
In my past job, we couldn't be bothered with all these big tech politics, so we actually disabled all the third party signups. We would require phone numbers because our value proposition was validating that users were real and easier to ban. Apple was not happy with this and their Apple sign ups allowed more anonymity, just a pain overall. We couldn't enable the others on Android either, because they'd be able to sign up with FB on a Samsung then can't do it on an iPhone, and that was just messy.
An anti-aging pill for senior dogs is now in clinical trials — and if it works as hoped, it might not only extend your pet’s lifespan, but one day lead to treatments that extend yours as well.
Second brain, I have processes to trigger and re-surface notes. Raw notes i "recycle" on a regular basis into my second brain. Anki is great for things i need to constantly remember like key facts.
