Zed already has a “agentic layout” for a while. It shifts the ai and threads to be more prominent and moves code + sidebar to the right

What’s this $10 deal?

I agree. I subscribe to SuperGrok but never used the grok models a lot for coding. Now with 4.5, I’m gonna hit my weekly limit tomorrow and even considering trying SuperGrok Heavy

I really like the feel of Grok 4.5

Built the same thing a while back: https://pi.dev/packages/pi-supergrok

Install with

pi install npm:pi-supergrok

Happened to me too but my card didn’t actually get charged, maybe check yours. Also the card in the invoice wasn’t even the card I’m using with Anthropic

My card did get charged.

lol, are they doing stochastic invoicing?

Definitely not AI generated. I wrote this during a non-internet flight. :)

Haha sorry for the callout! Saw the M-dash and auto-assumed. Nice write up and thanks for sharing :)

> MCP has severe context bloat just by starting a thread

Hi, author here. The “MCP has severe context bloat” problem has already been solved with tool discovery. Modern harnesses don’t load every single tool + their descriptions into the context on load, but use tool search to discover the tools lazily when they’re needed. You can further limit this by telling the LLM exactly which tool to load, the rest will stay unloaded / invisible

> But a worse problem is that the output of MCP goes straight into the context of the agent, rather than being piped somewhere else

This is semi-solved as agents and harnesses get smarter. Claude Code for example does discovery in subagents. So it spawns a sub-agent with a cheaper model that explores your codebase / environment (also through MCP) and provides a summary to the parent process. So the parent won’t get hit with the raw output log

> Claude Code for example does discovery in subagents.

but this still burns tokens needlessly in the subagent. if the agent could filter the mcp output using a cli (often jq, but sometimes something else), it could be more economical

maybe anthropic wants you to burn those tokens though

I just released Configmesh this week. It's a macOS app (with CLI companion) for e2e encrypted syncing and backing up of dotfiles and application configurations. You can sync for example stuff from ~/.config/, Application Support, *.plists, and so on, and add config sync to apps that don't support it natively

Fresh off the press
