    Shengkun Ye co-founded Monid in San Francisco with Feiyou Guo, after working at Founders Inc, TabaPay and WeChat. OpenRouter gives a developer one account and one key across every AI model; Monid is that for the tools an agent calls rather than the models it thinks with. Its registry lists over 1,700 tools from 55 providers, and an agent asks what is available for a job, picks by fit and price, runs it with no sign-up, and is billed about a tenth of a cent for that one call, out of a single balance. Monid is not new today: it launched in April 2026 and again as 2.0 in May. What this post adds is the raise and the 4 million calls.

    We just killed…everything.

    Introducing Monid, the OpenRouter for agent tools.

    Today we crossed 4M agent transactions. And raised a $2.1M pre-seed to kill every subscription in the world.

    Your agents can now:

    > discover, run, and pay for tools at runtime
    > one connection to 1,800 APIs: SEO, leads, search, ecommerce, stocks, video/image/music/3D gen, private company data
    > all pay per call, 0 subscriptions

    Mark Zuckerberg co-founded Facebook, now Meta, and is its chief executive. Muse Code is Meta's coding agent, worked from the terminal and built on Muse Spark 1.2, a coding model trained alongside the agent rather than wrapped around a general one. It keeps a repository of thousands of files in a 1M-token context window, splits a large job across sub-agents that each work in their own git worktree so parallel edits do not collide, and prints every sub-agent, tool call, steer and cancel to an event log. Muse Code is not new today: it opened in early beta on 5 August 2026, priced from $5 a month with $15 and $50 tiers above it, and a cheaper contributor tier in some countries in return for Meta training on your prompts and completions. What this post adds is that the beta is over.

    Muse Code is out of beta and now built to handle bigger, more complex engineering tasks. Developers can get started with one command today:

    Shubham Bhatt designs products at Whatfix in Bengaluru, seven years into enterprise and B2B design, at Quizizz and udaan before this. Indian Games is his own: the street games he grew up playing, rebuilt for a screen. Kanche is the first one and it runs in a browser, in two modes. In ring mode you pull the striker back and let go to knock marbles out past the chalk ring; in pit mode you land the striker in the pit to enter, then flick it at the marbles head on. You can play a bot, a friend online, or two of you on the same device.

    Kanche, Anth, Goti, Goli, call them whatever you want but these have been an integral part of our childhood, so thought of bringing each one of them to digital space.

    Presenting "Kanche" by https://indianstreetgames.com

    Play with a bot, or with a friend online or multiplayer in the same system, however you want.

    Please try it out and let me know of the rough edges.
