Also, great example of why you don't take a terminal that requires login as your daily workhorse. It never ends well.

That was a mistake they made initially, but iirc they got rid of it after a while.

If you block internet access to Warp, it refuses to start. That's all I need to know about it.

I feel this is the wrong way to go about things and I agree that it rude. Why not start by engaging with the warp project and see if some of this work could be upstreamed and if you like warp, target longevity?

You can feel however you want about it, but forking and creating your own version of things with added/removed features is the heart of what open source is.

Claude Code is very capable of making a terminal emulator with exactly (and only) the features you want. I did that for myself and it's now my daily driver. Has a few goodies I care about but nothing much else, and I have no intention of adding features for other people: https://github.com/cartermp/term

A personal Mac terminal emulator built for terminal-based AI work. How exactly does it help with "terminal-based AI work"?

...because it's a terminal emulator? I use it to run Claude Code?

That pretend demo that's running commands near the top of the page is pretty annoying, it resizes itself as the text changes so even when I'm scrolled to the bottom of the page, everything keeps jumping up and down as the height of that element endlessly changes

Came here looking for someone mentioning this very issue. Did they not even view the model's output once? So strange.

Warp founder here. It's cool to see the community excitement here. Note that we are going to add bring-your-own-model directly into Warp. Would love interested folks to weigh in on the discussion here: https://github.com/warpdotdev/warp/discussions/9619

what is the point of an "ai-terminal" when you can already just directly run ai in a normal terminal

your banner says:

> Bring any AI model into your terminal

its already there. there is no need for a special terminal to do this. in fact better to not have such a thing

Background: I use OpenCode to do this. Just tell it to use ssh from the shell. From there you can give it extra context to describe the target (if you know/care about it), or just let it loose and if the environment doesn't have what it expects it will "figure something out" - just the same as with your local env. If there's some least common denominator you know about e.g. python it can streamline things if you tell…

I don't think you understand. I'm well aware it can run whatever command on bash. You're taking a significant risk asking it to do what it's doing via ssh, because it could easily forget that it's suppose to be doing ssh and do whatever locally. The point is: opencode should have a specific deterministic tool like https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-ssh where commands can only be run; the environment can only be the r…

In practice I just don't think this is a real problem, or at least not one I've seen.

I do something like this a lot with local VMs managed through Incus (so not literally invoking ssh but the exact same pattern) and they don't "mess up" in that particular way. If they ever did they figured it out immediately and I didn't even make note of it happening.

I guess to sum up my feelings on it: if you don't think the tool is reliable enough to correctly use ssh to execute remote commands, you probably shouldn't be trusting it to run remote commands in the first place.

Despite the newish "AI" branding for what I would presume is marketing buzz reasons, most of Warp is really centered around trying to make a terminal interface not anchored to legacy assumptions, like the blocks functionality (https://docs.warp.dev/terminal/blocks).
