First 🫡Honcho Release Week Drop! Introducing the Peer Paradigm We've re-architected Honcho to move away from the User-Assistant Paradigm to onewhere any entity, human, AI, NPC, or API, is represented as a Peer with equal standing in the system. The User-Assistant Paradigm created conceptual boundaries that encouraged generic single-player applications and agents without persistent identity. Peers enable: - Honcho to support group chats and multi-agent systems as first-class citizens - Peers can communicate directly instead of being mediated by a coordinator agent - Peer representations can be locally or globally scoped, depending on the use case - Peers can form dynamic relationships including alliances, trust networks, and adversarial dynamics - The shift from User-Assistant to Peer-to-Peer fundamentally expands what's possible—from single-player chatbots to truly multiplayer AI experiences where agents have agency, memory, and the ability to form complex social dynamics.
