Factory just shipped Missions, their take on long-horizon software agents. Rather than trying to stretch a single context window across a multi-day project, they use an orchestrator-worker model: a planner breaks the goal into milestones, then spins up fresh worker sessions per feature, each with a clean context and a specific scope.

It really bothers me that it doesn't have support for devcontainers.

Only a closed set of languages are supported and the hook for startup installation of additional software seems to be not fully functioning at the moment.

OpenAI has just announced the availability of a new model variant, chatgpt-4o-latest, through their API. This model is designed specifically to enhance chat use cases, offering developers the opportunity to leverage the latest advancements in chat-optimized AI.

According to the announcement on X by OpenAI Developers (@OpenAIDevs), while chatgpt-4o-latest will continuously track the latest improvements in the ChatGPT model, OpenAI recommends using gpt-4o-2024-08-06 for most API usage. This model from last week is optimized for function calling, instruction following, and other typical API operations, making it a more stable choice for those purposes.
