Today we're standing up XBOX LABS (https://t.co/dJSufI1vni). Here is the note that I sent to the team:

Team,
The first video games emerged some 75 years ago. In the time since, there have been booms and busts, but every year there are more great games to play, more devices to play them, and best of all, more people than ever playing. That growth helped make XBOX what it is today, and we've helped shape the industry in return, from bringing hard drives to consoles and online gaming through Xbox Live to Game Pass and cloud gaming, alongside franchises that have brought millions of people together.
In recent weeks, we've seen games rapidly decompiled and rebuilt to run on hardware they were never originally designed to support. Windows PC builds have been translated to run on Apple Silicon or ported to run inside a browser through WebAssembly and WebGPU, the latter now approaching 90% global browser support. Perhaps more surprisingly, we've seen many of the biggest games in the world have been remixed into the source code of another.
These experiments challenge long-held assumptions about our industry: the tether between software and hardware, the boundary between creation and play, and how people discover and experience games. While it is hard to predict the future of gaming, it is easy to see the possibilities in making great games easier to access, giving old games new life and allowing more players to become creators and co-creators. These are unmistakably good outcomes for players, even when (and sometimes because) they challenge our existing business models.
To explore these possibilities, I’ve asked Scott to stand-up XBOX LABS, a small group of game makers, engineers and scientists whose job is to turn emerging ideas into things our players and developers can experience. We'll build in the open, learn from what people do, and measure success by whether more people are playing and creating.
I think XBOX has an important role to play here. Coding became the first major workload for agents because they can write, run, and test software. Games share many of those same properties, and people spend more than 72 billion hours a year playing XBOX games, roughly five times the estimated time spent writing code worldwide. We've spent 25 years learning how to make great games, and I want our game makers to help shape what these new technologies make possible. As we learn, we’ll share the tools we build with developers across the industry, just as we always have.
Our priorities aren't changing. We remain committed to the 4Cs, to making great games, to our hardware and to being responsible stewards of IP and the communities built around it. LABS gives us a way to explore new technology that is game design led without abandoning the work already underway.

great talks so far from Anthropic and other groups talking about various topics in AI in Finance

You can now mod Claude Code:

- Change how it behaves
- Customize the UI
- Swap in your own features

Write one with a few lines of TypeScript, or have Claude build it for you. Mods ship inside plugins, so you install them with /plugin in the CLI or desktop app.

A few examples:

A little tough to narrow down, really thinking about the games that reached me across my whole life of playing games and these are the big ones

[Jabree @_jabreeflor]

love the claude code mods feature, definitely opening the door for extensibility

i built an example for being able to have github prs/issues accessible through just typing #github

[Claude @claudeai]

Claude Cowork and chat are merging into one Claude.

Ask a quick question or hand over a report, and Claude takes it from there, even after you close your laptop. If something's unclear, Claude asks—you keep the final say.

Rolling out to Pro and Max over the next few weeks.

It’s crazy what happens when the UX for the tool just works and works well

I’m not doing anything different in Grok Bot than I am with Hermes agent, but the “it just works” and being easy to interact with has been a game changer

[Jabree @_jabreeflor]

Poteto poteto poteto - It would be pretty neat functionality to connect the apps on my phone would be even greater so I can setup bots to yell at me to get my steps

Like what the Claude app has here

A few episodes into wholecake and kaidos introduction still has a hold on me

Dentist did a 3D X-ray of my jaw before a root canal and said I wouldn't be able to open the raw data, it needs specialized software. It's 800 DICOM files. Asked Claude Code to make me a viewer. Two prompts later... this is nicer than what he showed me on his screen.

@whirlysanji if you aren't obsessed with the arcs by at least arlong park, its not for you

I hate how busy this gym is

Claude Opus 5 is way better than people give it credit for.

If you're using it like previous Claude models, it's going to suck.

Two things make a huge difference:
- Delete ALL your skills/MCPs/Claude.md/etc. Start fresh.
- Stop telling it how to do the thing. Just say what you want done.

These two small changes make a massive difference.
