Woah

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: Claude Code can now autonomously message users’ other Claude Code sessions while they work in parallel.

[Jacques Viviers @JVivz]

Happy Friday. A reminder that we're living in a modern day gold rush and that if you don't back your shovel (AI) then you won't be able to dig. Easiest time ever to start your own business.

[Termius @TermiusHQ]

Termius + Tailscale + tmux

You don't need your laptop to build with Claude Code, Codex, or any other AI coding agent:

→ Run your agent inside tmux to keep the session alive
→ Use @Tailscale for secure access to your laptop
→ Connect with Termius over SSH from iPhone, iPad, or Android

Start coding at your desk. Continue on the go.

major price cuts today:

*80% drop for GPT-5.6 Luna, now $0.20 per million input tokens and $1.20 per million output
*20% drop for GPT-5.6 Terra, to $2/$12
*GPT-5.6 Sol gets Fast mode in the API, up to 2.5x the speed for 2x the price, same intelligence

You should take 90 seconds to watch this launch video.

This is the single most impressive demo I've seen in the last year, and is probably the result i've seen that has most shifted forward my AGI timelines.

Biggest takeaways from @JensenHuang CEO @nvidia at the @ycombinator startup school!!

> You don’t have to change your personality or behavior when you become CEO.
> You are building an F1 racer that you are going to drive so you need to build it the way you want to drive it.
> Systems understanding, awareness, and design is crucial (most of the low level things are going to be automated)!!
> Understand agent as AGENT is the new software!!
> AI automates task and dose not necessary eliminates jobs as the job of a person has a purpose hence why AI will create more jobs than taking jobs!
> The ChatGPT movement of robots happened already! Robots walking around, reinforcement learning happened years ago and it helped us open our thinking!!
> DONT BE INTROVERTED “took me until 2026 to have my first post on X”

Message he would send to his 18-20 year old self:
> Everyday day the world is changing and this is the best time to start a company!
> Don’t imagine how hard it can be just get going on working at it!!
> Believe in your ability to LEARN.
> It is going to be hard just have the believe that you can overcome TODAY.

RESILIENCE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.

Truly grateful for this opportunity thanks @ycombinator!!

If you enjoyed this be sure to like and follow as I will make sure to do write all takeaways from the speakers today.

Opus 5 is a shocking step up from Fable 5 and 5.6 Sol for spreadsheets

Almost couldn’t believe our evals at first

A step function increase in intelligence, while as efficient as Sol

Feels like another Opus 4.5 moment for knowledge work

[Jacques Viviers @JVivz]

It isn't stressed enough how great AI is for alleviating your admin burden and opening up capacity for more. This last year I've felt more like a CEO/CTO than anything else, purely due to an agentic workforce. I love AI and am VERY bullish on it

Claude Code on desktop now works with the iOS simulator.

Build and run your iOS app, and the simulator opens in a panel right next to your conversation. Available today in public beta.

Markdown files are universal and will survive millennia

Unsurprisingly they are a fantastic data format when the intelligence stack is in flux at this extreme pace

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

The point of a startup is to make usable technology for others. When you make software, you have to watch at least 10 people use it. Sit next to them and say absolutely nothing. Force yourself to marinate in the failure of your product design.

Every version 1 of any software will be absolutely destroyed by first interaction with users. You need to watch your new creation be absolutely misunderstood by users to reform version 1 into the one that actually works.

There is only one path: figuring out where the sharp edges, the places people get caught, the assumptions you make as a builder that turn out to be wrong, and then relentlessly sanding it down so that anyone can use it.

That is good design. That is the key to a good product. There is no shortcut for this.

WATCH USERS AND CRINGE AND THEN FIX IT.

SAND DOWN THE EDGES.

Thank you

This was due to a heroic effort by many people at Anthropic working sometimes literally around the clock

It was not at all clear that we'd be able to do this in time, and so proud of everyone who made it happen.

Enjoy Fable.

[Jacques Viviers @JVivz]

Not everyone is keen on AI like this. I personally also see it as an enabler and can recommend trusting and using it way more than most people are still willing to. A new era

[Thom van Lieshout @thomvlieshout]

life when you succesfully use AI

> live and work from anywhere
> scale and serve thousands of customers without taking up more of your time
> have more time to build products and ideas
> pursure more interests outside of work

BREAKING: Anthropic announces permanent access for Fable 5 on Max & Team Premium plans, at 50% of usage limits.

[Min Choi @minchoi]

Grok 4.5 is only 1.5T parameters.

Kimi K3 is 2.8T... and costs 3× more per task.

SpaceXAI cracked intelligence efficiency.

Now imagine Grok at 3T.
