[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Tag, a new way for teams to work with Claude.

In Slack, Claude joins as a team member with access to the channels and tools you choose. Tag Claude in and delegate tasks to it while you focus on other work.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

We’re launching Claude Corps, a national fellowship program matching people early in their careers with US nonprofits.

We'll teach 1,000 people to use Claude, and pay them to use AI to advance their hosts’ missions.

small thing in pausebar that i like: it won't fire a break while your mic is live.

the way it does it is almost funny. it just asks macos "is the mic on?", a plain yes/no. it never touches the audio.

"don't interrupt my call" and "respect your privacy" turned out to be the same feature.

[Y Combinator @ycombinator]

Over the past year, we've been building our own internal agent infrastructure at YC: over 350 tools, self-improving skill loops, and a shared organizational brain that gets smarter overnight.

In this episode of the @LightconePod, we sat down with YC General Partner Pete @koomen to talk about how he led the effort from the ground up.

We cover how giving agents unrestricted access to one database was the key unlock, the self-improving skill loops that get smarter overnight, and why he thinks we've arrived at the personal computer moment for AI.

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.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Highlights from today’s Codex Thursday launches:

1️⃣ Codex can now securely use apps on your Mac from your phone, even when your Mac is locked and the screen is off.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Another reason to switch to Codex.

[Tyler @rezoundous]

Opus 4.7 legit feels like pre-nerfed 4.6.

[Akriti @akriti_sec]

@rezoundous I am still thinking if it’s worth to keep paying $100 every month just to rerunning out of token limits

@frostwire @claudeai @AnthropicAI True could seem bit expensive as per average price marks, but worst parts are limits

@NASAhistory The destination was the Moon,
but one of the greatest discoveries was perspective.

Space exploration didn’t just expand where humanity could go.
It changed how humanity could see home.
