Huge thanks to @jeremyphoward and @HamelHusain for creating ghapi, which proved that auto-generated SDKs can be better than hand-written ones. FastStripe is our proof that this works beyond just GitHub. Stay stuned for more interesting release around this idea 😏

FastStripe is part of @answerdotai's mission to use AI to benefit humanity. Like GE with electricity, we're creating thousands of AI apps to discover what AI is truly useful for. To do that, we need to eliminate friction in app development, which is why I created FastStripe.

We version FastStripe to match Stripe's official API versions. Version `2025.05.28.0` = Stripe's May 28th API + our convenience methods. We increment the last part whenever we add new convenience methods. Your code stays stable, you control upgrades. No surprise breaking changes.

The real magic happens in your editor. Every method knows its parameters and can tell your IDE about them. Documentation flows directly from Stripe's specification into your development environment.

Here's what makes it special about these convenience methods: when you call something like `sapi.one_time_payment()`, FastStripe handles the product/price creation automatically. But it uses the same auto-generated methods you have access to.

FastStripe gives you two things:
1) Every Stripe endpoint with perfect IDE integration
2) High-level methods for common patterns.
Want full control? Use the complete API.
Want simplicity? Use the convenience methods.

I learned this approach from @jeremyphoward and @HamelHusain's awesome ghapi library for GitHub. Same principle: let the API document itself. If it works for GitHub's massive API, why not Stripe?

The key insight: Stripe publishes a comprehensive OpenAPI spec describing their entire API 🤓 . Instead of manually writing wrapper functions, we generate the perfect SDK automatically from Stripe's own specification. Always current, always complete.

FastStripe eliminates the friction between you and Stripe's excellent API. When you type `sapi.customers.post(` your IDE shows every parameter with descriptions. No more diving through documentation. Here's the full story:

With @bclavie.bsky.social and @ncoop57.bsky.social, we tried to answer two questions:
- Can an instruction-tuned ModernBERT zero-shot tasks using the MLM-head?
- Could we then fine-tune instruction-tuned ModernBERT to complete any task?
