I'm SOOO done with "plain" JSON config files. Json5 FTW:
* @VisualStudio coloring marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa...
* @dotnet configuration www.nuget.org/packages/Jso...

Scraping the web using CSS selectors and @dotnet XLinq is sooo 2020s!! 🤭

Ensure we preserve EndUser client option across chat/image by kzu · Pull Request #97 · devlooped/xAI We were previously only preserving it depending on which API was called to get the MS.E.AI interface. Now we're 100% consistent whether you do grokClient.GetChatClient().AsIChatClient() or dire...

Neither Opus 4.6 nor GPT-5.4 were remotely close to the surgical change required to fix this issue. Both resulted in bloated implementations that grew the API surface unnecessarily. I guess I still have a job, hehe: Ensure we preserve EndUser client option in chat/image github.com/devlooped/xA...

[API Proposal]: Chat class for streamlined history creation · Issue #7385 · dotnet/extensions Background and motivation Typical pyhon/javascript code for getting a chat response looks like the following: from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI() response = client.responses.create( model="...

Just a minor thing, but I find it nicer to read than "plain" C#, especially when compared with every sample in every doc that showcases AI APIs using python/javascript. We can do better in @dotnet: github.com/dotnet/exten...

Amazing how quickly we went from AI reviewing human PRs to humans reviewing AI PRs...

GitHub - devlooped/xAI: xAI .NET SDK based on the official gRPC API reference from xAI with integration for Microsoft.Extensions.AI and Microsoft.Agents.AI. xAI .NET SDK based on the official gRPC API reference from xAI with integration for Microsoft.Extensions.AI and Microsoft.Agents.AI. - devlooped/xAI

Seems like a great time to switch to the @xai gRPC-based API for @dotnet github.com/devlooped/xAI/ , which supports all agentic tools, unlike the REST responses API

Bitcent: The 10⁻¹⁰ Dollar Unit for AI Pricing I’ve been playing with the xAI API recently, and noticed something interesting about their pricing model. The API returns usage costs as integers, but the numbers didn’t immediately make sense. For…

Bitcent: The 10⁻¹⁰ Dollar Unit for AI Pricing
xAI APIs use a "curious" unit for pricing. Let's look at why this unit ($10^{-10}$) makes sense for the AI era and why we should call it the "bitcent".

git stash save + fetch + rebase + stash pop (with conflict detection) in a one-liner. The way interactive Fetch&Rebase in TortoiseGit spoiled me to expect, now powered by @dotnet #dnx:

> dnx runfile kzu/run@main:rebase.cs --alias rebase

You can now run w/branch even: > dnx runfile rebase main

TIL you can do:
> go run github.com/[OWNER]/[REPO]/[PATH]@[REF] [ARGS].

Would be great to have the same in @dotnet (kinda like what I do with dnx runfile). 🙏 @DamianEdwards @davidfowl

You could pipe it to JQ and get the content elements for example:

> dnx runfile windom 29640 | jq '.. | .Content? | select(. != null)'

Dumps an app's UIA tree as JSON Dumps an app's UIA tree as JSON. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

Fun segway into dumping a @Windows app's UI as JSON using UIAutomation (aka accessibility). Kinda like a DOM for Windows?

Learning about a source repo using @Google code wiki is pretty incredible. Here's @Microsoft @dotnet agent framework:

private credit booming after Milei destroys fiscal deficit

This is exactly what you would expect happens when the government stops sucking every penny of credit from the private sector due to massive deficits.

I'd like to see a Grok Heavy-powered coding agent from @xai that integrates seamlessly with this @code Unified Experience for all Coding Agents

So more @grokipedia fun: C# history. It added useful info missing on @wikipedia (Ximian then Xamarin entirely absent, white image), until I hit that "C# 13 is latest" (vs C# 14 original). Then I looked at the edits and my mind was fully blown. It wins hands down on accuracy!

Self-correcting Grokipedia on .NET past and present by Grok is fascinating to watch: grokipedia.com/page/.NET

two agents using openai and grok driven from config + tools

Driving the new #dotnet agent framework from TOML configuration is soooo satisfying!
All it takes is one line:

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
// add config sources
builder.AddAIAgents(); // 👈
