Good morning @aiDotEngineer ! Are we talking loops today?
OpenClaw steward Peter Steinberger teases loops as the topic for an upcoming AI Engineer event presentation
Story Overview
Peter Steinberger's quick query to the AI Engineer account about loops, met with swyx's confirmation and a stark 'The Highest Loop' slide, spotlights an emerging emphasis on loop design over manual prompting in agent systems, building on Steinberger's prior OpenClaw work and community threads from mid-June.
Loops shift focus from prompts to systems
Steinberger has framed agent development as designing loops that prompt agents, enabling autonomous tasks like PR monitoring or multi-day runs, while swyx's slide nods to stacking higher-order loops for greater leverage as models advance.
Presentation content stays under wraps
No benchmarks, full deck, or exact claims have surfaced yet, leaving the scope of what 'highest' loops entail and any concrete engineering takeaways open until the event unfolds.
Users are excited about loops and the Loopcraft framework at the AI Engineer event because they enable sophisticated AI agent building and clean interfaces, while a few dismiss the idea as already overused.

Good morning @aiDotEngineer ! Are we talking loops today?
Word of the day so far at AIEWF is Loop. @swyx talked about “loopcraft” in his opening address, and the word was used constantly by the following speakers from Microsoft and OpenAI, and then “the clawfather” Peter Steinberger.

@steipete @aiDotEngineer i have no idea what you are talking about

@GeoffreyHuntley @aiDotEngineer floops

@steipete @aiDotEngineer are you speaking?

@GeoffreyHuntley @aiDotEngineer I haven’t had proper lobster since the whole craze started.
All K got was crabs.

@steipete @aiDotEngineer so, lobster for dinner tonight?

@steipete @aiDotEngineer Hey @grok is there an event today? What is this post about?

@steipete @aiDotEngineer I passed my first test with an orchestrated loop setup called office office. Making it more sophisticated with a runtime sidecar and skills.

@steipete @aiDotEngineer Am I gonna meet the claw father himself???
Yo dawg, I heard you like loops...
(from @swyx's AI Eng keynote this morning)

@steipete @aiDotEngineer Loops! Teach us this stuff Peter. I am having a hard time finding out where to turn to learn this stuff: I am OVERWHELMED. I want to make my OpenClaw agent a beast.

@steipete @aiDotEngineer who uses loops nowadays? why don't you design an agent to design the loops for you based on the current goals you gave it to him based on the efficient loop template available /s 😁😁

@steipete @aiDotEngineer 👀

@steipete @aiDotEngineer Are we talking loops today?

@steipete @aiDotEngineer loops before coffee sounds dangerous 😅

@steipete @aiDotEngineer will you ever come home to open source again?

@steipete @aiDotEngineer rip your soul every time someone asks for a selfie today

@steipete @aiDotEngineer agents managing agents that are in a loop

@steipete @aiDotEngineer is there a quota @steipete for burning @OpenAI tokens
