OpenAI is getting Deepseek’d again.

@Convergence_ai_, a tiny London startup just built one of the most capable AI agents for the web.

Proxy is outperforming Operator on every benchmark handpicked by @OpenAI.



Let’s dive in! 🧵↓ proxy.convergence.aiImage
Let’s start with this, proof that funding isn’t everything.

@OpenAI raised $18 billion.

@Convergence_ai_? Just $12 million! That’s 0.067% of OpenAI’s budget.



And yet, Proxy is faster, smarter, fully autonomous.

Keep scrolling for comparison videos! ↓tech.eu/2024/09/27/con…
Task 1: Find chicken recipes.

❌ Operator gives up after 4 minutes.
✔️ Proxy completes it twice before Operator finishes.
✔️ Not only that, Proxy also delivers complete results.

3/
Task 2: Get the latest basketball news.

❌ Operator gets stuck on a CAPTCHA and needs human help.
✔️ Proxy bypasses it instantly with no manual input.
❌ Operator provides just a link with minimal info.
✔️ Proxy delivers full details in under a minute.

4/
Task 3: Find top-rated @Tripadvisor stays.

❌ Operator takes over 2 minutes and delivers less information.
✔️ Proxy finds 5 top-rated stays in 56 seconds with prices, ratings, and reviews.

5/
Task 4: Get the latest US economy news.

❌ Operator is slow and less informative.
✔️ Proxy provides a detailed, high-quality summary faster.

6/
What’s more, Proxy is ranked #1 globally via the WebVoyager benchmark which assesses agentic capabilities across 600 web based tasks.

7/ Image
.... and when it comes to cost, it’s not even a question.

→ Operator costs $200.
→ Proxy is Free, with a $20/month Pro option.

Check it out:

But wait… there’s more.

Proxy does stuff that Operator simply can’t.

→ Schedule automations to run on repeat - your own AI agent on autopilot. → Instantly share automations on X/Twitter so anyone can run them... with one click! 🤯

9/ Image
That’s a wrap!

Proxy beats Operator where it matters most: speed, autonomy, features, and cost.

Try it for free or go Pro for just $20/month.

If this was useful, a quick RT would go a long way in giving this London startup a voice and some more oomph against the industry giants! 💪

folks on X: "Clawdbot is an overnight success"

@steipete’s GitHub profile: Image
When you look at @steipete's previous projects, Clawdbot (now @moltbot btw!) is basically a wrapper that ties all of them together.

It finally clicks.

Everything finally came together.

NVIDIA just removed one of the biggest friction points in Voice AI.

PersonaPlex-7B is an open-source, full-duplex conversational model.

Free, open source (MIT), with open model weights on @huggingface 🤗

Links to repo and weights in 🧵↓

The traditional ASR → LLM → TTS pipeline forces rigid turn-taking.
It’s efficient, but it never feels natural.

PersonaPlex-7B changes that.

This @nvidia model can listen and speak at the same time.

It runs directly on continuous audio tokens with a dual-stream transformer, generating text and audio in parallel instead of passing control between components.

That unlocks:
→ instant back-channel responses
→ interruptions that feel human
→ real conversational rhythm

Persona control is fully zero-shot!

If you’re building low-latency assistants or support agents, this is a big step forward 🔥
1/ Link to the repo:
github.com/NVIDIA/persona…
2/ The model weights are available on @huggingface here:

Wow, such a great open-source drop!

Put Claude on steroids with 120+ scientific skills spanning maths, biology, chemistry, medicine, engineering, & more 🤯

If you’ve ever wanted Claude to act like a research assistant, this gets very close.

Free and open source.

MIT and Oxford released their $2,500 agentic AI curriculum on GitHub at no cost.

15,000 people already paid for it.

Now it's on GitHub!

It covers patterns, orchestration, memory, coordination, and deployment.
A strong roadmap to production ready systems.

Repo in 🧵 ↓ Image
10 chapters:

Part 1. What agents are and how they differ from plain generative AI.
Part 2. The four agent types and when to use each.
Part 3. How tools work and how to build them.
Part 4. RAG vs agentic RAG and key patterns.
Part 5. What MCP is and why it matters.
Part 6. How agents plan with reasoning models.
Part 7. Memory systems and architecture choices.
Part 8. Multi agent coordination and scaling.
Part 9. Real world production case studies.
Part 10. Industry trends and what is coming next.
