I've been playing with the experimental GitHub Copilot agent mode in vscode. I've asked it to start from an empty directory and create an #ActivityPub server in C++, directed only by prompts (no human coding). So far, it has created a C++ project and implemented WebFinger, resource persistence, resource retrieval and a decent set of unit tests. At this point, Mastodon is able to discover our actors. The AI is currently implementing Follow processing. I'm curious to learn how far I can push this.

I've learned that Claude 3.7 Sonnet is a much better coding agent than OpenAI 4o. -

schrieb vor 2 Tagen zuletzt editiert von@steve interesting! Curious to see how this goes for you. And I have found Claude to be the best of the AIs I’ve poked at for coding, too.

schrieb vor 2 Tagen zuletzt editiert von@steve nothing that you mentioned so far is actually related to ActivityPub.
Personally I doubt there's a large enough corpus of ActivityPub server code out there for a code LLM to be able to generate anything workable. Please keep us updated if you actually get something.

schrieb vor 2 Tagen zuletzt editiert von@mariusor Sure it is, dereferencing AP objects is part of AP. WebFinger is not AP per se, but it's part of the actual Fediverse protocol that is commonly referred to as ActivityPub. However, I agree it's in the early stages. The Follow processing and content federation will be more interesting. Like I said in another post, there's very little, if any, C++ AP server code out there, so any LLM "knowledge" based on existing implementations will at least require prog language/idiom translation.

When will Claude join the Forum and Threaded Discussions Task force? Eagerly awaiting...
