That's what I want to know too. A smarter E4B that's happy in opencode would be a good selfhosted model for me

There's probably still going to be a box of hard drives in a datacenter somewhere, it does make sense to have a layer to manage the agent interface, rather than letting agents completely loose on all your storage.

One of them was returned to service after 40 years in the boneyard in Arizona, back in 2011, I would expect they'll look at the other airframes there to see if they're suitable sources for a rebuild. Wouldn't be surprised if this is the end of this one though, it was already doing pretty well for a design that first flew in 1949 (the English Electric Canberra design that was then built by Martin)
