For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

In the next version of Claude Code: subagents run in the background by default, so you can keep talking to Claude while your subagents work

If you want your agent to run in the foreground, just tell Claude

On first time using @RepoPrompt (now free and open source) generated some quality documentation following the Diataxis framework for one of our mission critical APIs. Impressed.

Today WorkOS is launching auth.md

An open protocol for agents to register for services on the web.

We're partnering with @Cloudflare and @Firecrawl as some of the first providers.

Why did we build this? And why now? 🧵

Introducing Roughdraft!

A new open source project designed to make collaboration with agents better.

The idea is to bring commenting and suggested changes to markdown (e.g. plan docs) in a nice interface.

Free, local, etc.

plans vs outlines vs design docs:

I think the value of a plan-for-the-model is take intent + codebase research and build like a "guide to building this feature for idiots" - at least 80-90% correct, close enough that you have high success chance to spray out the diffs and fix anything that was missed during typecheck/testing

The

1) "where are we going / what is the correct architecture"

and

2) "how do we split up the work to optimize for verifiability/backpressure"

are still things that humans excel at so much that its just not worth the wasted effort to try to figure out how to get models to do them well in a hands-off way. because when its wrong you're spelunking thousands of LOC and that's a lot less leverage

I'm in Australia this week, and we're releasing a new country report from the Anthropic Economic Index. Here's what we found about how Australians use Claude. 🧵

New blog post: "A sufficiently detailed spec is code"

I wrote this because I was tired of people claiming that the future of agentic coding is thoughtful specification work. As I show in the post, the reality devolves into slop pseudocode
