In a similar vein, I've been playing with Nemesis8. It provides the same sandbox and network constraint as this repo but adds orchestration and observability. You can control and communicate a fleet of agent containers that persist sessions, configure MCP tooling, and schedule events. That appears to just be the surface, I'm still digging into it. Now that I've experienced this single-pane-of-glass interface, I don't think I'm going back. If this is a trend, I hope it sticks. Check it out: https://github.com/DeepBlueDynamics/nemesis8

Mitigation for use: ``` export GROK_TELEMETRY_TRACE_UPLOAD=0 export GROK_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=0 # or config file with [telemetry] trace_upload = false, [harness] disable_codebase_upload = true ``` The practical takeaway for users: your entire codebase leaves (uploaded) your machine unencrypted on each Grok Build invocation, not just files you ask it to read, and no visible setting stops it. I've built Nemesis8 (n8) for blast radius control and monitoring these sorts of things, from containers: https://github.com/deepbluedynamics/nemesis8 I've added the mitigation above to the image build for Grok Build instances. There is a lot of telemetry already turned on in n8 containers, so will investigate further.
In What xAI's Grok build CLI sends to xAI: A wire-level analysis
Before someone comments about "this is AI generated" I want to assure you it is 100% AI generated, through a few dozens of hours of back and forth with various coding agents. These are not simple prompts. They are complex and reference a large corpus of research that was conducted to build the engines. I used Hyperia to run the agents, which themselves are run in Nemesis8, and orchestration engine I wrote, also with AI. I'm not here to debate the quality of code written by AI. I will reply to any and all subsantive arguments about the core idea of building a simulation with AI to measure a simulated boat's ischrone to an actual boat's isochrone. No offense to simonw, but we are not drawing a pelican here. Although now I think about it, it should definitely have pelicans. https://github.com/DeepBlueDynamics/hyperia https://github.com/DeepB

I've been working on Hyperia, which is very similar: https://github.com/deepbluedynamics/hyperia. Hyperia is a fork of Hyper Terminal. Both are open source. Competition is good for this space, I think, especially for the user. There's also cmux and Intelligent Terminal (by Microsoft). I do separation of concerns with the agent orchestrator (Nemesis8): https://github.com/deepbluedynamics/nemesis8. That can be run with or without Hyperia. I do not suggest anyone run agents on their bare metal. Putting them in a container gets a lot of wins, especially around log aggregation. Working now on a Splunk/Loggly-like interface for searching logs, tool runs (useful in tuning a custom local MoE drafter) and full session suspend, stop, detach, and search. It also does single MCP tool installs for all agents. Nemesis also supports dynamic port exposur

e to the host metal, for testing agent builds inside their containers. Hyperia has a lot of extra features as well that I have found personally useful: - Sticky notes (search too) - addressable panes in addressable tabs, tabs in windows, multiple windows - full ACLs across panes, notes, tabs, windows - Poke-a-pane to keep an agent going (any agent, not just CC which has a timer function) - webpanes with markdown extraction, JavaScript injection - directory pickers for people who find cd'ing to things confusing or those weary of typing nearly the same directory path over and over again in new terminals (not perfect, but I'm iterating on it) - a built in agent loop (in the Rust sidecar) that allows using local models for tool calls (needs a trained drafter to make it viable) or using a local model for token maxxing (compresses reads of panes by frontier models) - pane splits down/up/left/right and quick layouts. As for whether it was "vibe coded" or not, or Herdr for that matter, I don't think that term is useful, other than for quick judgment. No, this is not a one-prompt project. I've spent 100s of hours on it, started out with Hyper, and did a crazy amount of planning on how to architect it. I have done systems architecture for a living before, and have a strong search background. People who hate on AI, and therfore projects done with AI, are threatened. Nothing more. That's why they shortcut with "AI slop" or "Vibecoded. Nope". That's just ignorance speaking from a standpoint of fear. Slop, whether AI or human, is an effort problem: https://deepbluedynamics.com/blog/ai-slop-effort-problem. Looking at Herdr, it looks solid. Judge the product by it's outcomes, it's use, not whether or not AI wrote it or not. That's the moment we're in though, for now, so downvote or not. I don't care.
In Herdr: One terminal to rule them all
I'm working on Hyperia and it has full agentic control of a webpane (Electron based) for doing crazy things with it: https://github.com/deepbluedynamics/hyperia. Uses an agent container orchestrator as well, which has MCP tools to expose ports in the container (and thus can display the work in the webpane): https://github.com/DeepBlueDynamics/nemesis8 I'll add the Safari MCP wiring to n8 today... New releases landing tonight with more features.
In The Safari MCP server for web developers
I built a terminal that is also an agent comms system. Way back when Claude Code first came out I hacked together something to get two of them talking to each other and inserting text and reading from each others respective TTYs, and it was horribly hacky, so I set about actually understanding how CLIs, TUIs, and terminals work (I had written a simplified terminal based on jquery-terminal a long while ago during Covid that hacked tool runs using GPT-2, so this was overdue). I've been writing code for decades, so have all of it handy in case I need to point the LLMs to a particular way of doing things. Refactoring constantly is key. There's cmux in this space, but I had already used Hyper for years, so I decided it was time to fork something and build on it. Cmux does tabs in panes AND panes in tabs. Hyperia does addressable panes in tabs

and windows. I've tried to keep it minimalistic, which helps with flowing back and forth between different projects (I typically work on 3-4 at a time). I added a Rust sidecar, making all objects addressable over MCP, so Claude Code, Codex, or a small local model on Ollama can split panes, run commands, and read screens, with one hard rule enforced in the harness rather than the prompt: an agent can never move my focus, other than asking for permissions to access a new object. ACLs too. Hyperia also carries an agent loop that wires into it's own MCP server, so a local model in a Javascript "shell" can control resizing the terminal (handy for videos), or opening a project and setting up the agent panes. I stay typing in a pane while the agents work in theirs, in my peripheral vision, and web panes sit right next to terminals so docs, webapps/sites and the agent chat live in the same window. Reviewing becomes glancing instead of context switching, which is the closest thing to ideal flow with prompts I've gotten out of this auto-AI stuff. Tab and pane clicks copy the address into the buffer, then I paste and issue commands referencing what I want dealt with. I have an SDR radio on my box that allows me to talk to a given pane (WIP not in the build yet). Working on getting the local agent stuff done and wired to the radio. The upshot of this approach is enabling agents running in one tab, all mounting the same directory, with one in charge of the others. Claude Code is great at this, and it saves on the tokens it would normally use for doing it itself. I talk to Claude, or whatever I pick, and it talks to the rest of the agents and coordinates the work. I like Antigravity a lot because it moves crazy fast for coding. With Claude in control and GLM-5.2 doing auditing and explaining to me how development is going. As an example. No unseeable agent army here. No need for it, actually. About the only thing that trips me up at the moment is having to work on Hyperia itself, which I don't do inside of it because of restarts. When I work on Hyperia, I start an agent in Windows terminal and wire it into the MCP for testing. I build installers constantly as well, and then run through the Q&A process by using it to work on other projects I'm doing. I use Zed for code editing and viewing, but rarely. I also just open things in special sticky notes (or have the agent do it) so I understand how we're doing things. GLM-5.2 took to the planning stickys like a fish in water. https://github.com/deepbluedynamics/hyperia https://github.com/deepbluedynamics/nemesis8 (n8) Both are open source, obviously. It's worth mentioning they will remain that way and will never require a service plan or any other cost. I built them because I needed it for another project I will be selling, not aimed at developers at all. n8 implements the agent runs in containers. This is a separation of concerns - in runs in any terminal and controls the session starts and search for previous sessions (as well as monitoring the usage of tokens, CPU, network and file access). Working on the dashboard for that now, so I can easily see which files are changing, how much they changed, and what changed in them. I co-founded Loggly, so that crap is in my wheelhouse. This isn't the tab completion model. It works great for the way my brain works, but I also think having an agentic terminal is a good move for anyone writing code and we'd all be better off if we ran agents in containers over our bare metal. It makes it way easier to see what the agent is doing (and resuming later), and allows it to do most of its work in the container, as opposed to running loose on my box..
