Welcome to the inaugural edition of Plastic Labs' "Extrusions," a monthly prose-form synthesis of what we've been chewing on. No one needs another curation newsletter, so expect these to be densely linked glimpses into the thought-space of our organization. And if you like, [you can engage with the ideas directly](https://github.com/plastic-labs/blog).

- Next we'll drop a fresh paradigm for constructing agent cognitive architectures with users at the center, replete with cookbooks, integrations, and examples
- After that, we've got some dev viz tooling in the works that allows anyone to quickly grok all the inferences and context at play in a conversation, compare sessions, and visualize and manipulate entire architectures--as well as swap and compare the performance of custom architectures across the landscape of models
