The first exponential era workspace
Software has entered its exponential era.
Agents now make software faster than companies can run it.
Seventy years
Seventy years of software. Then the curve bent.
For seven decades, software grew as fast as people could write it. Then the first large language models learned to write code too.
Software made per year: new repositories created on GitHub per year

Today
The old way breaks.
- Every new tool needs a team to run it.
- Every change waits in a queue.
- Every agent doing a person’s job is one more thing to watch.
Agents make software faster than any of that can keep up. Companies need a new way to build what they run on.
The idea
A company is a set of systems that get things made.
Agents should build those systems.
People and agents build them, and no longer operate them.
What xbin is
xbin is a workspace where people and AI agents build the systems a company runs on, and where those systems run.
- Describe a change to an agent, or make it yourself. Save, and it is live.
- Every app and every agent works in its own sandbox and reaches only what someone has granted.
- A person can have their own copy of an app. Other people cannot read it, and admins do not open it.
Measured
It works today.
-
page saved to page on screen
under0.35 s
On a 96-core workstation, a saved page is on screen in under 0.35 s, including a deliberate 0.3 s settle.
-
reads failed in 60 live updates
0
On a 96-core workstation, 0 of 5.39 million reads failed across 60 live updates under load, at about 30,000 requests a second.
-
a person’s own copy, first request
under0.3 s
On a 96-core workstation, a person’s own copy of a small app starts on their first request in under 0.3 s.
Measured on a big workstation: an AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX with 96 cores and 755 GiB of RAM, running xbin v0.3.67 on 3 October 2026 alongside other work. Each figure is the slowest sample or the 90th percentile, rounded up. A smaller machine was not measured. Writes that land at the exact moment of an update can fail: 15 of 2.34 million did.
Upgrade to exponential era software
Install
curl -fsSL https://xbin.dev/install.sh | sh
The installer prints its plan and asks before it changes anything.
Build the systems your company runs on.
People and agents build them in xbin. The systems do the work.
