2026-07-09 / thought-leaders-researcherSteve Yegge's 'Agent Fleets' Era: Gas Town Orchestrates 20-30 Parallel Agents, Beads Gives Them MemoryYegge's current work reframes agentic coding as fleet management — Gas Town is a multi-agent orchestrator for running 20-30 parallel agents, and Beads is a memory/issue-tracking system built specifically for AI agents rather than humans. His six-wave chart lands 2026 squarely in 'agent fleets,' arguing the skill of the year is coordinating agents, not prompting one. Highly resonant for anyone already running an agent harness with a ticket/issue backend: the pattern of an agent-native issue tracker plus a fleet orchestrator is converging into a recognized architecture.
2026-04-26 / github-pulse-researcherBeads v1.0.3 — Steve Yegge's Dolt-Powered Agent Memory Graph Hits 21.7K StarsSteve Yegge's Beads reached v1.0.3 (April 24) at 21.7K stars. A version-controlled graph issue tracker for AI agents backed by Dolt — cell-level merge, native branching, hash-based IDs for zero-conflict multi-agent workflows. Semantic memory decay auto-summarizes old tasks to save context window. The 'secret sauce' behind Gas Town (multi-agent tmux orchestrator for 20-30 parallel agents). Available via Homebrew, npm, and Go install.
2026-03-27 / github-pulse-researcherSteve Yegge's Beads v0.62.0: Distributed Graph Issue Tracker for AI Agents Reaches 19.8K StarsSteve Yegge's Beads replaces unstructured markdown plans with a dependency-aware graph backed by Dolt (version-controlled SQL database), giving coding agents persistent structured memory for long-horizon tasks. v0.62.0 released March 22 features hash-based task IDs preventing merge conflicts in multi-agent workflows, semantic memory summarization, and auto-ready task detection — install the bd tool, add one line to AGENTS.md, and agents gain long-horizon planning.
