- [Run Paperclip on a Sprite](https://fly.io/sprites-blog/paperclip-on-a-sprite.md): You don't need a Mac Mini to run your AI company. You need a Sprite.
- [Put a (smol) Brain in Your Sprite](https://fly.io/sprites-blog/local-llm-on-a-sprite.md): A 2.4 billion parameter language model, quantized to 1.58 bits, running on a Sprite at 50 tokens per second, serving its own Python client to any Sprite that asks.
- [Context Engineering Is Just Writing Things Down](https://fly.io/sprites-blog/context-engineering-is-just-writing-things-down.md): Context engineering is the biggest lever you have over AI agent quality — here's what it looks like when you invest in it over a few weeks of real work.
- [Agent Swarms on Sprites](https://fly.io/sprites-blog/agent-swarms-on-sprites.md): Give every agent its own computer, its own network policy, and the ability to roll back mistakes without taking down the swarm.
- [Closing the Loop: The Missing Ingredient in Agentic Development](https://fly.io/sprites-blog/closing-the-loop.md): An AI that can see the results of its own actions behaves fundamentally differently than one generating code into a void.
- [I Build Everything In Sprites Now](https://fly.io/sprites-blog/i-build-everything-in-sprites-now.md): Stop context-switching. Give each project its own environment, its own AI context, and its own checkpoint history.
- [Run Any Code Fearlessly](https://fly.io/sprites-blog/running-untrusted-code.md): AI generates code faster than you can review it. You need somewhere safe to run it.
- [Make Computers Make Computers](https://fly.io/sprites-blog/make-computers-make-computers.md): Sprites can spin up and control other Sprites, which turns out to be useful for a surprising number of things.
- [Slack Bots on Sprites: OAuth is Easy Now](https://fly.io/sprites-blog/slack-bots-on-sprites.md): Slack bots are handy, but they typically require OAuth, which means you need a server with a public URL to handle callbacks. Sprites make this trivial.
- [Run Moltbot (Clawdbot) in a Sprite](https://fly.io/sprites-blog/moltbot-in-a-sprite.md): If you really want to see what a project like Moltbot can do, the agent needs generous permissions and access to the system it is running in.
- [How Sprites Accidentally Solved Mobile Development](https://fly.io/sprites-blog/how-sprites-accidentally-solved-mobile-development.md): Code from your phone without managing servers, VPNs, or complex setups. Sprites and sprite-mobile make mobile coding surprisingly simple.
