Nebula v0.0.14: Code Agent & Real-time Streaming
We're excited to announce a major upgrade to Nebula that introduces powerful new capabilities through the implementation of a code generation agent and real-time response streaming.
These changes are live now at nebula.thirdweb.com!
Overview
This release transforms Nebula with the integration of an agent that can generate code, enabling significantly more complex reasoning and multi-stage task processing. We've also added word-by-word streaming for a more responsive user experience, alongside numerous tool enhancements to support these new capabilities.
Powerful Multi-stage Processing
Replacing Nebula's main agent with a code-generation agent brings a revolutionary approach to how Nebula processes blockchain requests:
- Code-first approach allows Nebula to write and execute Python code snippets for complex tasks
- Enhanced reasoning capabilities for multi-stage blockchain operations
- 30% more efficient processing compared to traditional tool-calling approaches
- Improved problem decomposition for handling complex user requests
Now Nebula can automatically break down multi-stage operations like "Deploy a new ERC-721 contract, mint an NFT, and send it to cjber.eth" into logical steps with appropriate parameter validation at each stage.
Improved Thought Process Visibility
With Code Agent, Nebula now exposes more of its thinking process:
- Watch as Nebula reasons through complex blockchain operations
- See the logical steps it takes to solve multi-part problems
- Better understand why specific approaches or parameters are used
This transparency helps users learn from Nebula's analytical approach while providing greater confidence in the recommended actions.
Word-by-word Response Generation
One of the most visible improvements in this release is the addition of real-time, word-by-word streaming:
- Responses begin appearing immediately, eliminating long wait times
- Thoughts and reasoning are streamed as they're generated
- See Nebula work through complex problems in real-time
This creates a much more interactive experience, similar to watching an expert think through blockchain challenges.
Comprehensive Tool Enhancements
To support the new Code Agent architecture, we've made extensive improvements to Nebula's tool system:
Standardized Framework
- Unified output formatting across all blockchain tools
- Consistent validation patterns for blockchain parameters
- Improved error handling with more descriptive messages
Enhanced Blockchain Operations
- Consolidated related tools for more intuitive interactions
- Better validation for blockchain addresses, amounts, and parameters
- Improved handling of token standards and contract interactions
Performance Optimizations
- More efficient tool execution for faster responses
- Better handling of blockchain data pagination
- Optimized resource usage for complex operations
What This Means For Users
These improvements deliver several key benefits:
- More Complex Tasks: Nebula can now handle significantly more complex, multi-stage blockchain operations
- Faster Responses: Start seeing results immediately with word-by-word streaming, and more efficient tool calling through code means overall response times are reduced
3. Better Reasoning Transparency: More visible reasoning helps users understand blockchain operations
- More Reliable Interactions: Enhanced validation ensures operations are checked thoroughly before execution
We're excited for you to experience the power of Code Agent and real-time streaming in Nebula. These improvements represent a significant leap forward in making blockchain interactions more intuitive, responsive, and powerful.
