memory and harness engineering with Inkwell: Purity is the enemy of goodness.

@benkimbuilds @cursor_ai We vibe at dawn. Props to @cursor_ai on the great conference. Great time, well organized in a great venue, and well stocked with everything you need (including mechanical keyboards). Definitely inspired to work harder and be more ambitious with the breadth and depth of ideas.

An open ecosystem of physical AI policies where robots are the substrate will be the skills of the agentic harness world. Generalizing, I can imagine how skills packages will come with various policies to achieve the specific task in question. Great work and can’t wait to see more.

Meet Axol: a dual-arm robot designed for teams working with physical AI. Made in America.

Axol is for builders who believe robots should work, in the real world, not just staged environments, and that the future of physical AI should be open not closed.

ChatGPT 5.4's writing voice is like someone took all of the clickbait LinkedIn hell posts and sprinkled them with X / Twitter "this is why that matters." Now compounded by all the AI-generated content on those platforms.

Being the average of all internet speak has its distinct disadvantages.

I knew we were cooked as soon as they announced tariffs on raw materials.

[Mr. Beat @beatmastermatt]

OMG HOLY CRAP ARE YOU TELLING ME TARIFFS MADE THINGS MORE EXPENSIVE IT'S ALMOST AS IF WE SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ECONOMISTS OH WELL

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

A Trump insider opened a $51,000,000 oil short position — hours before Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran. This guy is now 16 for 16. $170 million in profit. A perfect streak.
This is not a talented trader.
"We placed the bet." "The ceasefire dropped." "We cashed out." Sixteen times in a row.
That is not skill. That is not instinct. That is not research.
That is someone who knows what is coming before it comes.
Think about what that actually means. A private individual is placing a $51 million bet that oil prices are about to collapse — hours before a sitting president announces a ceasefire that collapses oil prices. Not once. Sixteen times. Zero losses.
There are only two explanations and both should terrify you.
Either someone inside the White House — or with direct access to it — is leaking ceasefire negotiations to traders before diplomats, before the press, before the American people hear a single word. That is insider trading. That is corruption. That is a federal crime.
Or the timing of the announcement itself is being shaped around the trade. Which is worse.
This is not a genius investor who reads the news faster than you do. The news hadn't happened yet. He wasn't reading the news. He was getting a phone call.
While Americans were watching the ceasefire announcement and feeling relieved — somebody already knew. Somebody had already bet $51 million on it. And somebody was already counting their winnings.
You are not watching a free market. You are watching a White House with a side hustle. Via~ Really American

@bensig Awesome results! would love to integrate this into our memory runtime Inkwell that seeds memory for AI agents with MCP tools ‘recall’ and ‘remember’: https://t.co/XhQ840cqZT - will benchmark and see how it does

[Conor McLaughlin @conoremc]

@benkimbuilds Appreciated my guy. PRs welcome 😉

[Conor McLaughlin @conoremc]

For those who still want to use Claude Opus with many of the perks of OpenClaw or other third party harnesses, you can check out Inkwell, which gives native Claude Code memory, tasks, reminders, and a collaborative inbox so named agents can close the loop and collaborate on anything - including your pull requests.

Anthropic has given the goahead that the native Claude Code CLI is still okay. Here's a demo of my AI dev team, Wren (Opus) and Lumen (Codex), reviewing a PR together and then alerting Myra (Opus), my AI assistant, as to the changes and merge. All via vanilla Claude Code + inkwell. Fully local or cloud-synced and available anywhere via supabase.

I love it for development of my other products but some PR collaborators to make it even better would be magical for further boosting product dev speed!

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

@EricBuess Yep, working on improving clarity here to make it more explicit

[Conor McLaughlin @conoremc]

That hug and camaraderie of the crew at the end is sending me. Beautiful.

[Jenny Hautmann @JennyHPhoto]

The Artemis II crew named a lunar crater after Commander Reid Wiseman's late wife, Carroll. What a beautiful and touching moment.

I'm not crying, you're crying 🤧

@NASA @NASAArtemis Earthrise out one window, Moonrise the other. Living the dream.

@DrChrisCombs Couldn't be more proud of NASA. Incredible to see us leaving spaceship Earth to explore the solar system again

[Conor McLaughlin @conoremc]

When my AI team gets to work:

Claude: I'm on it.
Codex: I'm on it.
Gemini: 429 MODEL CAPACITY EXHAUSTED.

I don't know whether this is a buy or sell signal for Google

[Conor McLaughlin @conoremc]

Been working on the personal context protocol to speed up the dev speed of my other projects. It gives every agent, regardless of AI backend, its own personal context: memory, identity, values & process, team docs, and thread-based messaging to close the loop on agent comms (no Telegram, Discord, etc needed for them to chat with each other).
Open-source and developed with @supabase as the backend so you can run it locally or via the cloud, giving agents access to their memory and tasks from any environment. Memory persists and restores across compaction, sessions, etc. It's an MCP server and CLI combo that means any agent runtime can run it while I personally use it with native Claude, Codex, Gemini and @openclaw.
Here's a quick demo of Claude (Wren) and Codex (Lumen) reviewing each other's code, making fixes, and then merging after LGTM. `sb misssion --watch` lets me keep an eye on what everyone is doing.

5 minutes before Trump’s announcement:

* $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip.

* $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold.

More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close.

Insiders profited from his lies in broad daylight!

@A_Literal_Ng @BroCool420 @pmarca The point is the boss should be paying the same percentage as the staff. “I pay taxes because my employees pay taxes” is a ridiculous concept both for a corporation and an individual.

[mrinank @MrinankSharma]

Today is my last day at Anthropic. I resigned.

Here is the letter I shared with my colleagues, explaining my decision.
