[Peter Steinberger 🦞 @steipete]

With GPT 5.5, /goal, autoreview and crabbox my prompts moved from ~30-60min to often 4-10h tasks and my confidence that it’s ready is much much higher.

Yielding agents is a skill.

[Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 @pmarca]

Interesting.

[cat @_catwu]

Excited to share our most powerful new Claude Code feature: dynamic workflows!

Mention "workflow" in a prompt and Claude will dynamically create an orchestration plan that it strictly follows, allowing you to confidently trust that every stage happens in the right order even across 100s of agents.

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors.

Available today at the same price.

[ClaudeDevs @ClaudeDevs]

We’ve shipped a security-guidance plugin for Claude Code that helps identify and fix vulnerabilities as you’re writing code.

Available for all Claude Code users. Install from the plugin marketplace (/plugins).

[Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 @pmarca]

Interesting.

🎙 Join DeepStation for "From Prompt to Production: Mastering Google AI Studio" featuring Krishna N Mehta, GDG Cloud Organizer Bengaluru & Software Engineer at Visa!

💥 Tomorrow, go from blank prompt to deployed AI prototype in just 60 minutes. Krishna will show you how to harness the full power of Google AI Studio and the Gemini API — no boilerplate, no guesswork.

🔸 The Workshop Promise
Walk in with an idea, walk out with a tuned, production-ready AI prototype built on Gemini Pro and Flash.

🔸 What You'll Build
Hands-on exploration of system instructions, safety configurations, multimodal inputs, and the Data Prompt feature to spin up specialized agents — zero code required.

🔸 From UI to Live App

💡 What you'll learn:
🔹 Compare Gemini Pro vs Flash for real reasoning tasks
🔹 Configure system instructions and safety filters with precision
🔹 Export prototypes into production-ready code instantly

🎙 DeepStation Academy launches "Vibe Code Course: Zero to Launch with Codex & Claude Code", a 4-week hands-on course taught by Grant Kurz, Founder & CEO of DeepStation, and Michael Friedberg, Senior Software Engineer at Oracle, at The DOCK!

💥 The gap between "idea" and "shipped product" has never been smaller, but most people are barely scratching the surface of what AI coding assistants can actually do. By Week 4, you'll walk out with a live, deployed product you built yourself.

🔸 Who This Is For
This course is built for anyone who wants to learn how to vibe code real apps. You don't need to be a developer. If you understand basic technical concepts and have an idea you've been wanting to build, you're ready. Founders, operators, PMs, and curious builders all welcome.

💡 What you'll learn:
🔹 Week 1 (May 9): Setup, Git, Codex & Claude Code, deploy your first app to a live URL
🔹 Week 2 (May 16): Build real frontends with AI and add user authentication
🔹 Week 3 (May 23): Connect databases, build APIs end-to-end, integrate Stripe payments
🔹 Week 4 (May 30): Launch Day. Deploy to production, polish, and demo your product live

👤 Instructors:
Grant Kurz is Founder & CEO of DeepStation AI, a 5,000+ member global AI community that has hosted 100+ workshops with speakers like Sergey Brin, Founder of Google. He has built RAG systems for Coca-Cola and Stanley Black & Decker, and a crypto analytics platform acquired by https://t.co/2RHw0n4wm6. Featured in Forbes, Coindesk, and OpenAI's blog.

Michael Friedberg is a Senior Software Engineer at Oracle focused on agentic AI systems, automation, and event-driven architectures. He independently prototypes and ships side projects exploring how autonomous AI agents can solve real human problems at scale.

📅 Dates: May 9, 16, 23, 30 (4 Saturdays)
⏰ Time: 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM ET
📍 Location: The DOCK, 400 NW 26th St, Miami, FL
💬 Office Hours: Wednesdays 6–7 PM ET, every week of the course
