So I'll focus on the block's contribtution, which is goose: https://github.com/block/goose

Has it gotten better and good enough? I tried it a few months back and it was pretty crappy. And it's not because of bad models (I used it with the latest Claude at that time) but because of poor harness implementation and UI.

Is it worth trying the latest version to see how it compares with Claude Code? I want OSS, model agnostic implementation to win but I felt the odds are off then. I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

Tried Goose, couldn't do anything. OpenCode is better. Mistral's Vibe too.

I did tried as well few months and also uninstalled. Application didn't at least back then have update feature and for each new release you had to reinstall again. UI experience was also very poor comparing to many other open source projects - would expect they at least hire some designer

Forgive me for underestimating but I'd never heard of 'Block' before, and the title "Block, Anthropic, and OpenAI Launch the Agentic AI Foundation" reads a bit funny to me. Plus the bitcoin blurb on their site is also worth a chuckle -

"Bitcoin is about access, not speculation. It’s designed to be open, fast, low-cost, and free from centralized control. It’s meant to empower people"

This is the most amazing paragraph I think I have ever read, pure gold!
