Node agents get native image powers
335,000 GitHub stars in 60 days — and Steinberger still shipped three more tools this week.
This Week
Peter Steinberger released Rastermill, a 40-KB Node module that handles cropping, resizing, and format conversion without heavyweight C++ libraries. It piggybacks on photon, a WebAssembly image engine, so agents can ship one file instead of four external dependencies.
Most AI agent stacks choke when they need to edit screenshots; they punt work to external APIs. Rastermill lets any local or serverless agent process images offline, as easily as reading JSON. That removes a costly network hop and slashes cold-start times.
→ See if OpenAI or LangChain lists Rastermill in their starter templates before June ends.
By the Numbers
Signals
Peter Steinberger swapped OpenClaw's image stack to photon WebAssembly.
OpenClaw gained voice commands and automatic meeting notes.
Rastermill launched for lightweight image processing inside Node agents.
Steinberger shipped a user-facing GitHub activity dashboard.
Morpheus AI passed 10 B tokens routed on Inference Marketplace.
Solana pushed past $10 B market cap.
BagsApp now filters coin profiles to verified social links only.
Builder to Watch
If you're not following David Johnston yet, Morpheus AI just crossed 10 B routed tokens this week. Next, he wants third-party models bidding for traffic.
Week in Review
Steinberger hogged the repo headlines, swapping OpenClaw’s guts, adding voice, and still finding time to ship Rastermill and a dashboard. Morpheus AI quietly moved its ten-billionth token, while Solana ticked over the $10 B line and opened Bounty-6. BagsApp polished its coin profiles; Virtuals stands at 18,000 on-chain agents.
→ Watch for Solana's Bounty-6 results to drop, which could reveal the next upgrade chosen for mainnet.
