Today we published the Rails reference library, a curated collection of open-source apps meant to serve as an example (for you, LLMs, and anyone new to the community) of production-quality, battle-tested, convention-following Rails applications.
Thank you to @robzolkos for designing and shipping this page.

>the brief was one sentence: make ruby itself faster
>she and a small team built YJIT, a JIT compiler that lives inside official ruby.
>every rails app that flips it on runs 30-40% faster.
>every commit she ships goes into the public ruby release.
>not "shopify ruby." just ruby.
>the same one the rest of the internet runs on.
>so the engineer shopify pays to speed up their checkout also sped up the github clone you built last weekend.
why give it away?
- the compiler gets better the more people run it.
- every rails app in production stress-tests her code, so the bugs find themselves.
- lock up the fixes and you break the flywheel you depend on.
you don't win the long game by hoarding the foundation.
you fund it and hand it back.
Artifacts in Claude Code are now also available on Pro and Max plans.
Ask for an artifact, Claude writes the code, publishes it live to claude.ai, and updates it in real time while it keeps working. Pages are private to your account and fully self-contained.
Claude Sonnet 5 is here.
Top-tier performance on coding and tool use at Sonnet pricing, with a 1M context window.
It's the new default in Claude Code for Pro users, and available everywhere on the Claude Platform, including the API and Managed Agents.
Claude Desktop is now available on Linux (Ubuntu and Debian) in beta.
Alongside the browser and terminal, you now get a first-class desktop experience with Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and chat on all paid plans.
In response to Apple’s price increases today, we’ve lowered the price of some Framework Laptop 13 Pro configurations. We were able to source and qualify Gen 5 SSDs from ADATA that are both faster and cheaper, and now offer them on DIY Edition!
When Claude is working in a channel with four people, whose credentials does it use?
The answer: its own. When tagging Claude, Claude gets provisioned like any other teammate, with its own credentials.
We call this access model "agent identity". Here's how it works: 🧵
Quake turns 30 today. 🎉
Three decades later, you can still dig into the source code that helped shape modern game engines, multiplayer networking, and modding communities. 🎮

Jump from JetBrains Air to IntelliJ IDEA with a single click.
You can now open the same project directly in IntelliJ IDEA – useful when you need deeper debugging, test runs, refactoring, and everything else the IDE does best 🚀
New in Claude Design: it stays on brand with your design system across projects, lets you edit directly on the canvas, syncs with Claude Code, and connects to more of the tools you already use.
Spring Boot 4.1 adds one property:
spring.datasource.connection-fetch=lazy
Your transactional methods grab a connection the moment they open, even when they never run a query. A cache hit, an early return, a slow API call before the save. That connection sits idle. Lazy waits until a statement actually runs.
I built a demo that proves it with HikariCP metrics. Watch the acquire count drop from ~100 to ~0.

Introducing GLM-5.2: Frontier Intelligence, Open Weights
- Significant improvements in coding and agentic tasks
- Strong long-horizon capabilities with a 1M context window
- Two levels of reasoning effort: GLM-5.2 (max) pushes the limits, while GLM-5.2 (high) strikes a strong balance between performance and token efficiency
- MIT-licensed open weights
- Same API pricing as GLM-5.1

This week the most advanced AI model on the planet got switched off by a foreign government. British researchers were studying it. British companies were testing it. British hospitals were piloting it. Not any more.
This isn't an AI story. It's the story of every industry we used to lead.
Britain has some of the best AI talent in the world. DeepMind was built here. Our AI Safety Institute writes the rules other countries follow. We have the researchers, the universities, the standards.
What we don't have is the power stations to run the data centres, the planning system to build them, or the industrial base to make the chips. So the work happens here and the value lands somewhere else. We invent. Others build. Others decide. Then we read about it on Saturday morning.
Same story as the kit our soldiers don't have. Same story as the factories we used to.
I spent nine months in government making this argument inside the room. I'll make it louder from outside.
Claude for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word are now generally available, and Claude for Outlook is in public beta.
As Claude moves between your Microsoft apps, it carries the full context of your conversation.
