What's new in GPT-5.5:
- Stronger coding + debugging
- Better computer use (operating software autonomously)
- Deep research + doc/spreadsheet generation
- Greg Brockman: "It can look at an unclear problem and figure out just what needs to happen next"

Rolling out now to Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise in ChatGPT + Codex.

The AI model war is compressing release cycles down to weeks. Wild time to be building.

GPT-5.5 just dropped. Less than 2 months after GPT-5.4.

OpenAI's release cadence is getting insane. Better coding, computer use, deep research with "less guidance needed."

Meanwhile Anthropic's Claude Mythos has Wall Street talking.

Is OpenAI shipping fast to stay relevant, or are they genuinely pulling ahead?

What happened (April 18, 2026):
- Kelp's LayerZero V2 bridge exploited
- 116,500 rsETH minted out of thin air
- Deposited into Aave V3 on ETH + Arbitrum as collateral
- ~$190M in wETH/wstETH borrowed and gone
- Aave now sitting on up to $230M bad debt

Root issue: Aave accepted bridged assets as collateral with no oracle safeguard for bridge integrity.

Biggest DeFi exploit of 2026 so far.

[Neo in Tech @NeoInTech_]

The Kelp DAO bridge exploit just created $123M-$230M bad debt on Aave. $9B in outflows followed.

Attacker minted 116,500 rsETH, dumped it as collateral, borrowed ~$190M ETH. Aave didn't get hacked. It got used as the exit.

Is DeFi collateral risk still unsolved?

Telling AI "you are an expert" doesn't make it smarter.
It just makes it sound more confident.

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable Opus model yet.

It handles long-running tasks with more rigor, follows instructions more precisely, and verifies its own outputs before reporting back.

You can hand off your hardest work with less supervision.

[Logan Kilpatrick @OfficialLoganK]

Introducing Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS 🗣️, our latest text to speech model with scene direction, speaker level specificity, audio tags, more natural + expressive voices, and support for 70 different languages.

Available via our new audio playground in AI Studio and in the Gemini API!

[Claude @claudeai]

We've redesigned Claude Code on desktop.

You can now run multiple Claude sessions side by side from one window, with a new sidebar to manage them all.

If you want to go deeper on Canton, follow these:

@digitalasset (the team building it)
@CantonNetwork (official network handle)
@YuvalRooz (Digital Asset CEO, very candid on the value gap debate)

@HSBC @GoldmanSachs @BNYglobal @DTCC are the institutions actually using it.

/ultraplan is the move I have been waiting for. Plan on the web, execute on local CLI, kill the back and forth of pasting plans into terminal.

Web plus CLI hybrid is the real Claude Code unlock for 2026.

[Thariq @trq212]

New in Claude Code: /ultraplan

Claude builds an implementation plan for you on the web. You can read it and edit it, then run the plan on the web or back in your terminal.

Available now in preview for all users with CC on the web enabled.

@coinbase true story

[Neo in Tech @NeoInTech_]

@leftonredtweets @figma Use this plugin, it's free and better than the offical MCP

[Neo in Tech @NeoInTech_]

@heyadjoining @figma Graphic design is a key component of the design process. Nothing bullshit here.

[Figma @figma]

Say hello (again) to Figma Weave. Build workflows to create and edit images, video, 3D, and more.

As we work on bringing Weave to the Figma canvas, what are some things you want to see?

[Neo in Tech @NeoInTech_]

So next time you're building an AI agent, ask yourself: do I need creativity or consistency?

The answer changes everything about how you configure your model.

What Temperature do you run your production AI at?

[Neo in Tech @NeoInTech_]

Most devs think setting Temperature=0 makes their AI deterministic. It doesn't. Here's what actually controls whether your LLM gives the same answer twice. 🧵

[Neo in Tech @NeoInTech_]

The irony? Neural networks are just matrix multiplication underneath. Pure deterministic math.

But LLMs deliberately inject randomness at the sampling layer to make language sound natural. We made them stochastic on purpose.
