Mon, Feb 20, 2023Replit x Weights & Biases Machine Learning Hackathon Winners
The Replit x Weights & Biases Machine Learning Hackathon was Replit’s very first machine learning-focused hackathon that took place on February 4-11, 2023 with participants selected from all over the world! After applying and being accepted into the hackathon, participants hacked for seven days on their projects, using both custom machine learning models and fine-tuning existing ones, all by combining the power of Weights & Biases and Replit. During the hackathon, builders collaborated and got help from mentors on our Discord (shout out to Morgan and Ayush!), worked through examples and demos from the opening ceremony and our list of resources, and even documented their journeys using W&B Reports. In the end, we gave away over 500,000 Cycles worth of prizes to the best projects created by combining the two technologies. Expert ML engineers from Weights & Biases judged each project to decide the ultimate winners: And the winners are...
Thu, Feb 16, 2023Celebrating 20 Million Replit Developers
Today, we celebrate 20 million developers on Replit. They've created 240M+ Repls, ranging from multiplayer games to production software with the power of real-time collaboration in the cloud and state-of-the-art AI tools. Developers build their businesses on Replit too, from indie hackers to YC-backed startups like Fig, AmpleMarket, and BerriAI to unicorns like Deel. The Replit Story In 2010, I was a young hacker in Amman, Jordan. I didn't have my own computer, but coding was my life. I’d go to internet cafés or borrow computers, and every time I switched machines, I needed to set up a new development environment from scratch. Worse, I couldn’t save my progress or collaborate with my friends. I’d email myself and others my code so we could work on different machines. Around that time, Google Docs came out, and it struck me that nothing like it existed for programming. I became obsessed with an idea: to create a world where I could open a browser tab, start coding, write a runnable program, collaborate with others, and access my work from any other device.
Tue, Feb 14, 2023Announcing Ghostwriter Chat: The first conversational AI programmer
Today, we are announcing the beta release of Ghostwriter Chat. Now with chat, a proactive debugger, and awareness of your project’s context, Ghostwriter becomes the best AI pair programmer in the world. Building Ghostwriter Last fall, we introduced Ghostwriter, Replit’s coding AI, with Complete, Generate, Transform, and Explain Code - coding assistant tools that work with you as you code. Together they made coding faster by automating repetitive tasks and removing the drudgery of writing boilerplate code. That was just the first step towards our master plan to create a fully autonomous pair programmer – one that feels like working with another teammate.

Wed, Jan 25, 2023It's Genuary!
You may have thought that we're in the month of January, but we're actually in the month of Genuary! Genuary "is an artificially generated month of time where we build code that makes beautiful things." If you've been a part of the Replit community for a little while, you may remember Replit Creates, our very own month-long celebration of creative coding that happened in August. We don't think making beautiful things should be confined to one month, so we've decided to host a celebration of Genuary on Replit. On the official Genuary website, there are prompts for each day of the month, so we're also celebrating on Replit! Our Replit staff have made it even easier for you to participate by creating templates for some of the prompts, which you can find below.
Mon, Jan 23, 2023PostgreSQL Database Preview Now Available On Replit
Databases and web apps go together like peanut butter and jelly. In a word, they're inseparable.

We want to make it completely seamless to develop applications that need databases on Replit. Starting today, you can create and instantly begin to use PostgreSQL databases from within the Replit workspace. Here's how you use it. First, click the PostgreSQL icon in the Tools pane on the lower left hand side of the workspace.

Making Repl Identity More Accessible
In August last year, we announced Repl Identity, a signed identity for every Repl that your code can use to authenticate other Repls when communicating with your APIs and services. For a quick refresher, you can try out the demo that decodes the identity token and outputs it to the shell. We have a Go package for this already (docs here), but there's a limited selection of bindings for other languages. To that end, we're rolling out a command-line tool in every Repl that allows you to use features like Repl Identity in any language that can run a subprocess. Here's a quick demo that you can try in our own Repls: Check out this example Python Repl that creates and verifies a Repl Identity token:
Tue, Jan 3, 2023The Fourth Age Of Programming
The technological singularity—or simply the singularity—is a hypothetical future point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization. According to the most popular version of the singularity hypothesis, I.J. Good's intelligence explosion model, an upgradable intelligent agent will eventually enter a "runaway reaction" of self-improvement cycles, each new and more intelligent generation appearing more and more rapidly, causing an "explosion" in intelligence and resulting in a powerful superintelligence that qualitatively far surpasses all human intelligence. — Wikipedia In normieland, where I still spend plenty of time both online and IRL, software’s newfound ability to write, draw, and speak like we humans is often taken as evidence that the machines are about to remake our entire society (again) and totally change the nature and value of labor (again). I don’t think the normies are wrong about this, but as flashy as Stable Diffusion and ChatGPT are, old heads know that the Robot Apocalypse has exactly one and only one horseman: computer programs that can write computer programs. Artificially intelligent machines can’t ascend to godhood via the long-prophesied runaway spiral of continuous self-improvement until we invent a machine learning model that can code a better version of itself. We’re not there yet, and it’s not clear how far away such a development is, but as of the mid-2021 release of OpenAI’s Codex model, we’re a lot closer than we were just a few years ago. Given that self-improving computer programs would likely be the most important human invention since writing, there is no other part of the AI content generation revolution that’s worthy of more study and careful scrutiny than generative models that output code. And of all the new ML-powered programming offerings in this growing ecosystem, Replit has the tools I’m watching most closely. No other programming platform is in a position to train models on a dataset that includes the following from legions of programmers and millions of projects: Real-time keystroke and clickstream data
