I’ve spoken to over 50 people 1:1 over the last several months to better understand how they code with AI.
It’s an absolute mess.
Here are the top 8 mistakes I see.

Introducing Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in our new Claude 5.5 family.
It performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 for most tasks, and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5.
May Allah forgive Sheikh Ibrahim Al-Madani, shower him with His boundless mercy, illuminate his grave, and raise his ranks in Jannat al-Firdaws. May Allah accept his lifelong service to Masjid Al-Haram and make every Adhan he called a continuing source of reward for him.

Greg Brockman says OpenAI pointed Astra at its own systems until it ran out of vulnerabilities to find:
"We took 25% of our production engineers and said, 'Sorry, all your projects are on hold. You are now defending. You are now up-leveling our security architecture. You're going to use the models to find all the holes.' And we found a number of serious issues, and we fixed them."
"We found some new problems, but eventually it saturated. We basically have found, to our knowledge, all of the P0s, all of the critical problems that Astra is smart enough to find. And of course, there will be a new model, there will be a new round."
"You want to be in this tight loop of new cyber capability drops, you deploy it against your systems, you find the new holes, and ideally, you've managed to automate this, what we call defense factory. That's what we're building internally."
"There are ideas, for example, formally verifying all of software, that are possible with AI."

Introducing Merge’s Universal Context Layer.
It substantially decreases token cost while increasing accuracy.
Every company uses AI wrong:
Say your designer makes a deck using Claude. They teach Claude your design systems and typography.
Now a Marketing hire makes a deck. None of the information your designer taught Claude gets passed over… why?
Merge fixes this:
All knowledge and memory across your entire company gets stored inside our context layer.
When someone on the org teaches Al, that skill lives across the entire organization instead of staying locked in their session.
Your AI runs faster, cheaper, and with more accuracy. You don’t have to switch systems, incur more costs, or retrain anyone on your team, Merge runs invisibly in the background.
