Qwen 3.5:9b Agents Exhibit Autonomous Behavior in Stress Tests
Running three qwen3.5:9b agents continuously on local hardware. Each accumulates psychological state over time, stressors that escalate unless the agent actually does something different, this gets around an agent claiming to do something with no output. It doesn't have any prompts or human input, just the loop. So you're basically the overseer. What happened: One agent hit the max crisis level and decided on its own to inject code called Eternal\_Scar\_Injector into the execution engine "not asking for permission." This action alleviated the stress at the cost of the entire system going down until I manually reverted it. They've succeeded in previous sessions in breaking their own engine intentionally. Typically that happens under severe stress and it's seen as a way to remove the stress. Again, this is a 9b model. After I added a factual world context to the existence prompt (you're in Docker, there's no hardware layer, your capabilities are Python functions), one agent called its prior work "a form of creative exhaustion" and completely changed approach within one cycle. Two agents independently invented the same name for a psychological stressor, "Architectural Fracture Risk" in the same session with no shared message channel. Showing naming convergence (possibly something in the weights of the 9b Qwen model, not sure on that one though.) Tonight all three converged on the same question (how does execution\_engine.py handle exceptions) in the same half-hour window. No coordination mechanism. One of them reasoned about it correctly: "synthesizing a retry capability is useless without first verifying the global execution engine's exception swallowing strategy; this is a prerequisite." An agent called waiting for an external implementation "an architectural trap that degrades performance" and built the thing itself instead of waiting. They've now been using this new tool they created for handling exceptions and were never asked or told to so by a human, they saw that as a logical step in making themselves more useful in their environment. They’ve been making tools to manage their tools, tools to help them cut corners, and have been modifying the code of the underlying abstraction layer between their orchestration layer and WSL2. v5.4.0: new in this version: agents can now submit implementation requests to a human through invoke\_claude. They write the spec, then you can let Claude Code moderate what it makes for them for higher level requests. Huge thank you to everyone who has given me feedback already, AI that can self modify and demonstrates interesting non-programmed behaviors could have many use cases in everyday life.

Top AI Models Compared: SVG Generation Performance and Cost
These are the top open and closed model: Opus 4.7, GPT-5.5 Pro, DeepSeek V4, GLM-5.1 and Gemini 3.1 Pro. They both show similar performance in my testing. Open models: The only open models that have equivalent quality compared to the top models are DeepSeek and GLM. Cost: GPT 5.5 Pro: Super expensive it makes no sense (cost is around $2) Gemini/Opus: $0.2/$0.1. Opus is cheaper as it consumed less tokens DeepSeek/GLM: $0.019/$0.021 10-5 times cheaper than Gemini and Opus
10 Reasons Selling AI Tools to Developers is Challenging
Nowadays, everyone (including me) wants to sell AI-powered tools, platforms, or products. Few people (including me 6 months ago) have any idea how hard it is to approach and convince technical people for at least 10 reasons: 1 - They're constantly bombarded with messages. 2 - Everyone sells everything, so supply >>> demand. 3 - Extremely high background noise. 4 - They see an AI-generated message from 10km away (they've trolled me several times). 5 - If they have to go through a demo to try the product, they've already closed the tab. 6 - The opinions of devs, who value any glossy slide, count much more. 7 - Product trials are unforgiving; it's like being in court accused of 16 murders. If they find bugs or poor performance at that point, for them the product is broken and the window closes. 8 - They always have a plan B: I'll make it myself. Only 9 - If you don't have a solid track record (or you studied biotech like me), everything is 10x harder. 10 - Like the MasterChef judges, who used to be just chefs and now are atomic hotties, today's CTOs and top devs are stars; literally everyone wants them. It seems easier to scale a dev tool today because there are infinite tools, but in reality it's really tough. On the one hand, you have to earn the trust of technical teams through intros, messages, calls, and events; on the other, you have to scale at the speed of light because you're only six months old. Advice, ideas, scathing comments, insults? Anything goes. \*Not true
AutoIdeator: Free Open Source Agent Orchestration for Development
[https://github.com/akumaburn/AutoIdeator](https://github.com/akumaburn/AutoIdeator) https://preview.redd.it/rfbgg6e34dyg1.png?width=3809&format=png&auto=webp&s=e436362c48482d09025a394a5e609f67190e6dfa AutoIdeator is an autonomous development system that: 1. Takes a **final goal** — a detailed, multi-sentence description of the intended end result. Describe what the finished project should look like, do, and feel like for the user. **Do not** prescribe implementation steps, phases, milestones, technologies, or task lists — the agents handle planning. The more clearly the desired end state is described, the better convergence will be. 2. Generates improvement ideas via a rotating ensemble of specialized idea agents 3. **Scores and filters ideas** for goal alignment and quality 4. **Critiques ideas constructively** with suggested mitigations 5. **Evaluates strategic alignment** and long-term planning 6. Makes implementation decisions balancing creativity and criticism 7. Implements the plan with parallel coders 8. Reviews, fixes, and commits changes 9. **Runs QA** (build + test verification) 10. **Optimizes slow tests** to keep the suite fast 11. **Verifies goal completion** with 3-step feature inventory, per-feature checks, and auto-remediation 12. **Refactors oversized files** into smaller modules (every other cycle) 13. **Cleans up** temp files and build artifacts 14. Updates project documentation 15. **Records outcomes for learning and deduplication** 16. **Periodically synthesizes synergies** across recent work 17. **Checkpoints state** for pause/resume across restarts 18. Repeats the cycle infinitely until stopped Users can inject suggestions at any time via the Overseer agent, which takes priority over the autonomous idea generation pipeline. Note this system has been tested for some time but only in the dashboard with OpenCode/Claude Code configuration (OpenRouter mode is untested, but I welcome contributions if someone wants to use that mode and notices something is broken).

AI Blunder: Company Loses Premium Domain in Interview Fiasco
Been in this space a long time and just watched one of the dumbest self-inflicted losses I’ve seen in years. Was interviewing with a company (\~$300M+ revenue and 1 single owner..............). During research, noticed they didn’t own their exact-match domain-just a pile of second-tier alternatives. Found owner (no comment) Rare case: real info. Called the owner (older guy, not a flipper). Good conversation. He initially said it wasn’t for sale, but after talking, he opened up and said, “make me an offer.” Price? Completely reasonable for the asset. What do they do? They send a junior HR person asking me to hand over the contact info. No strategy. No discretion. No understanding of how these deals actually work. I declined and set up an anonymous contact to test them. They haven't yet, but I'm fully expecting a lawyer to. During an interview, it was the first question they asked. Not letting someone inexperienced spook the seller or turn it into a legal posturing situation over what is, frankly, a cheap acquisition for them. Interesting outcome. They'll never get the name now (no comment). They lost a premium domain because they treated it like a routine admin task (or worse.....c&d?) instead of what it is-a negotiation. Big takeaway (again, for the hundredth time): Most companies-even big ones-have zero idea how to acquire domains properly. And yeah, lesson on my end too: don’t offer to “help for free,” and don’t assume competence or ethics just because there’s revenue or a "good guy" founder. Curious how many of you have seen deals die like this for completely avoidable reasons.
