morph: side quests
the pursuits around fast apply — the prior pivots, the plugins and integrations, the other models, and the community packages.
- 2023 — lingtual (tejas, ended): lingtual — the original s23 identity: a no-code platform for 'connected ai business software,' pitched as retool+zapier for ai applications with 50+ tool integrations. the domain registered mid-batch; the pitch lives on in the yc profile and directory listings. (sources: lingtual on the yc directory, yc s23 batch writeup incl. lingtual, lingtual on toolify, lingtual.com whois)
- 2024 — innkeeper (tejas, ended): innkeeper — hotel and motel software, listed among the entity's aka names on yc's lingtual profile and third-party trackers. the pivot that matches bhakta's upbringing: he grew up in his parents' motel and built their tech stack at 16. ordering against autoinfra is unverified. (sources: lingtual on the yc directory, morph on reforgers, tejas bhakta on beamstart)
- 2025–2026 — the essay side-channel (tejas, continuing): the non-product essays — 'how intelligence self organizes' and 'we're already post-agi,' submitted under bhaktatejas922 in the weeks around the launch. the founder's intellectual side-channel: company on the api, arguments on the front page. (sources: how intelligence self organizes, we're already post-agi)
- 2025– — the mcp server (company, continuing): the mcp server and openai-compatible api — shipped july 2025 as 'mcp for fast ai filesystem edits.' docs carry setup targets for cursor, claude code, windsurf, cline, vs code, and claude desktop — documented targets, not confirmed partnerships. (sources: mcp quickstart docs, mcp for fast ai filesystem edits)
- 2025– — the plugin shelf (company, active): the first-party plugin shelf — opencode-morph-plugin (mit; fast apply, warpgrep, flashcompact), morph-claude-code-plugin, a pi extension, and an openclaw integration under github.com/morphllm, alongside morph-demos and coding-agent-bench. ~24 public repos. (sources: the morphllm github org, opencode-morph-plugin)
- 2025– — self-hosting (company, continuing): the self-hosting offer — the models for private deployment, posted in may 2025. the enterprise-privacy answer to 'yet another endpoint' — if it converts. (sources: self hosting)
- 2025– — warpgrep (company, active): warpgrep — the rl code-search subagent, 14b at a claimed ~900 tok/s on b200. 'a 20x faster subagent to grep for code'; the twitter-algorithm demo; v2's swe-bench-pro retrieval claims. self-reported throughout. (sources: warpgrep product page, warpgrep show hn, launch yc: warpgrep v2)
- 2026– — compact (company, active): compact / flashcompact — verbatim context compaction at a claimed 33,000 tok/s with a 1m context and 50–70% reduction. the spec also appears as 3,300+ tok/s on another page — the inconsistency is documented. (sources: compact product page, compact sdk docs, flash compact launch)
- 2026– — glance (company, active): glance — ai testing your pr, videos embedded in github, powered by morph-computer-use-v0. launched on show hn february 2026 to 35 points — the best-received post-launch submission. (sources: glance launch: pr testing videos, browser verification)
- 2026– — reflexes (company, active): reflexes — multi-head classifiers running on agent traces, a claimed <30ms inference and 'four or 100 reflexes add less than 2ms.' bhakta's tesla data-sampling experience pointed at agent-trace signals. (sources: reflexes launch: multi-head trace classifiers, one backbone, many reflexes)
- 2025 — inline edit and the tab api (company, ended): the inline edit model and the tab api — announced at launch (a sub-500ms next-edit predictor in private beta) and never seen publicly again. no release evidence found; likely folded into the suite or quietly dropped. (sources: launch hn: apply ai code edits at 4,500 tokens/sec)
- 2025 — the prs that didn't land (company, ended): the integrations that didn't land — cline pr #3950 closed unmerged in july; roo code issue #7206 closed without implementation. some maintainers prefer built-in search/replace or an in-house apply; the founder-submitted pr doesn't always convert. (sources: proposed cline integration — closed unmerged, proposed roo integration — closed without implementation)
- 2025– — the community plugins (community, continuing): the community shelf — @f97/opencode-morph-fast-apply on npm and a grok-cli integration, both third-party and reported rather than verified. (sources: @f97/opencode-morph-fast-apply, grok cli morph integration)
