If you have been following me you have seen me talk about shiitake, but I haven't explained much. Shiitake is an agent harness that runs in a DO not a container. Most companies running agents at scale could save millions. But its not just a small agent. It's an entire agent ecosystem. Oyster is a distributed OS with Shiitake at the core. You can tie a network of computers to platform or custom apps, define workflows, set schedules, scrape the web. Whatever you would do with Grok Bot, Dots, Hermes, Ect. It has a TUI for you CLI nerds. It has a web dashboard. You can set up an agent and turn him into your sites chatbot, connect it to telegram, whatever. It's yours and all the code is open. You can run the whole system easily on the $5 paid workers plan, or throw it on a Hetzner VPS on CellD. You might also know that I hate VC funding. To retain full ownership of the project I am hoping to find support from the crypto community and have set up a community coin to further development. 412ECWXN3jGbd1kn8ck7eeupWttkmrFkNm9JqfAzpump

GM solana:412ECWXN3jGbd1kn8ck7eeupWttkmrFkNm9JqfAzpump heads. Another day in the lab working on releases. Each day fungi gets better faster and more reliable. Check out 0.5.0 and tell me what you think.

The 0.5.0 release of fungi just went out. It includes: Prints (making your anime) - Each model's real prompt limit is shown, and Generate turns off when you're over it. - Saved styles (like your golden prompt) are added to every generation. - Several reference images per model, up to that model's limit. - Saved Characters: type @name to add one to your prompt. - Open any print to see how it was made, then Reuse, Remix or Animate it. - Widescreen sizes: 16:9 and 21:9. - For video: pick a first frame and a last frame, plus audio where the model supports it. - The simpler composer you approved. TUI - Every pop-up window has been redesigned. - A new approval card with "Deny and say why". Fixes - Goals no longer stall while sub-agents work. - Upgrades just work. The first run after an upgrade stops the old service, sets aside data the new version can't read, and tells you what changed. - Grove now says "model didn't respond" and offers Retry. Oyster - The AI Gateway needs no setup. - Flux 2 images and image-to-video now work through it. - Security fix: keys you gave to other people could read and prompt your agents (versions 0.3.2 to 0.4.1, only if you'd made such keys). Two changelog warnings for users - Keys given to other people now need permission for each agent. - Prints images made before 0.5.0 lose their Image info.

Thanks to @nullresearchart for testing oyster. I just released 0.4.1 after his feedback - Oyster installs cleanly: all starter Apps, every time - Approvals default to "Approve once", and "Always allow" now remembers your choice - Clear next steps when no model is set up.
