This week: Axle 0.31, 0.32

I haven’t posted an update in a while because I took a vacation and had to work for money! That said, Axle shipped a few minor versions:

  • Axle 0.31.0 shipped a major CLI revamp. This update took everything I’ve learned building apps with Axle and put it into a modern, usable TUI. In addition to the new UI, Axle CLI now supports follow up interactions and resumable sessions, as well as more sensible configuration and setup.
  • Axle 0.32.0 reworked the thinking Turn and stream objects. It’s a minor but breaking change to the format. The implementation of thinking has always been a little janky, and the recent release of Muse Spark 1.3 gave me a chance to revisit it so that it’s a little cleaner.

I’m personally pretty pleased with the CLI updates. This resolved a few longstanding issues I had with the previous implementation, including the fact that it was just really ugly. With the open weight models being quite cheap and good these days – I’m really liking GLM 5.3 Flash – I’m harboring a few automation fantasies on my life. Not quite there yet, a few more gaps to close, but I’m hoping to have some updates soon.
