Wasn't imbue training models for coding having raised a huge fund? Is this a pivot?

Since our launch 2 years ago, we've focused more on the "agents that code" part of our vision (so that everyone can make software) rather than the "training models from scratch" part (because there were so many good open source models released since then) This is from our fundraising post 2 years ago: > Our goal remains the same: to build practical AI agents that can accomplish larger goals and safely work for us in…

what is the difference of this to conductor

this is incredible! can you make this interface usable from a web browser (such as chrome) rather than an app?

It actually originally worked that way, and you can still mostly kinda use it that way (except that, because of CSRF protection, it's obnoxious -- run the program once to figure out the command line that the backend python process is started with, eg, via `ps -Fe` on linux, then shut down the app, then run that process. As long as you don't set the `ELECTRON_APP_SECRET` env var, CSRF will be disabled. Use `netstat -pant | grep -i listen` to figure out what port it is listening on)

Obviously not the most user friendly or usable, but we found that people often got pretty confused when this was a browser tab instead of a standalone app (it's easy to lose the tab, etc)

This is the issue I’m facing. I’d love to try this and even downloaded it, but it’s not detecting OrbStack as a container runtime.

I ended up getting it working, just had to start up OrbStack with `orb`

sculptor_backend seems to consume a lot of CPU and memory when just idling. Would you consider switching from Electron to Tauri so it uses the native WebView of the OS?
