Exploring the architecture of intelligence and agent orchestration.

Claude Code just took away the last job engineers had left..

An homage to slamming the return key

[Claude @claudeai]

New in Claude Code: auto mode.

Instead of approving every file write and bash command, or skipping permissions entirely, auto mode lets Claude make permission decisions on your behalf.

Safeguards check each action before it runs.

@bcherny Been doing this since Claude Code was in beta 😅

Was mind bending the first time I tried it…

[David Roberts @DavidJRoberts_]

Consuming any website as structured data just became a commodity.

Competitive intel. Lead enrichment. Price tracking. Training data pipelines. SEO monitoring.

Used to require a dedicated scraping stack. Now it's an API call and a rounding error on your Cloudflare bill.

[Cloudflare Developers @CloudflareDev]

Introducing the new /crawl endpoint - one API call and an entire site crawled.

No scripts. No browser management. Just the content in HTML, Markdown, or JSON.

@tengyanAI 100%. Used to coordinate humans. Now it’s an execution surface for agents

[David Roberts @DavidJRoberts_]

@daouzli @tengyanAI this 👆

[David Roberts @DavidJRoberts_]

@tengyanAI PRD as a 6-week ceremony artifact is dead. PRDs as compressed, high-precision intent docs that agents can execute against.. this is what survives.

[David Roberts @DavidJRoberts_]

@tengyanAI PRD is back more than ever..

From bureaucratic artifact to the actual product.

Harness quality: spec + constraints + evals

New research preview.

“<1% of review findings are marked incorrect by engineers”

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Code Review, a new feature for Claude Code.

When a PR opens, Claude dispatches a team of agents to hunt for bugs.

@chamath Agile was for a different era.

The industry spent decades arguing waterfall vs agile. AI changed the constraint both were designed for.

Execution got cheap.

@zarazhangrui Congrats! Smart refactor.

Same principles work really well with CLAUDE.md files

Absurd intelligence density.

Alibaba just distilled the competence of your senior engineer into fewer bytes than a lossless Taylor Swift album.

Both will make you question your life choices, for very different reasons.

🚀 Introducing the Qwen 3.5 Small Model Series
Qwen3.5-0.8B · Qwen3.5-2B · Qwen3.5-4B · Qwen3.5-9B

✨ More intelligence, less compute.
These small models are built on the same Qwen3.5 foundation — native multimodal, improved architecture, scaled RL:
• 0.8B / 2B → tiny, fast, great for edge device
• 4B → a surprisingly strong multimodal base for lightweight agents
• 9B → compact, but already closing the gap with much larger models
And yes — we’re also releasing the Base models as well.
We hope this better supports research, experimentation, and real-world industrial innovation.

@attio This isn't about CRMs. It's an "every SaaS data layer needs to be rebuilt for agents" post. Consistent semantic reads, schema as context, real write paths. Shipped via tools that agents can actually build on. Nice job Attio team.

[David Roberts @DavidJRoberts_]

One of my agents silently wiped other agents' uncommitted work while trying to prove it didn't do anything wrong..

Easy fix in CLAUDE.md
