@sanjiva When you become "they" only a few will help someone else become "they" too. Thank you for being one and being a turning point in my life personally and many others 🙏

@sanjiva Designers probably used LLM to generate a design

[@dMatrix @dMatrix_AI]

Some conversations make it obvious we’re in a once-in-a-generation shift in AI.

@sidsheth shared his take on the watershed moments that brought us into the #AgeOfInference — and why breaking the memory & bandwidth wall now defines all future AI infrastructure.

Great to dig into it with Gavin Baker & Mark Wade… and yes, we all agreed @elonmusk’s idea of data centers in space actually makes a lot of sense. 😉

When I created Claude Code as a side project back in September 2024, I had no idea it would grow to be what it is today. It is humbling to see how Claude Code has become a core dev tool for so many engineers, how enthusiastic the community is, and how people are using it for all sorts of things from coding, to devops, to research, to non-technical use cases. This technology is alien and magical, and it makes it so much easier for people to build and create. Increasingly, code is no longer the bottleneck.

A year ago, Claude struggled to generate bash commands without escaping issues. It worked for seconds or minutes at a time. We saw early signs that it may become broadly useful for coding one day.

Fast forward to today. In the last thirty days, I landed 259 PRs -- 497 commits, 40k lines added, 38k lines removed. Every single line was written by Claude Code + Opus 4.5. Claude consistently runs for minutes, hours, and days at a time (using Stop hooks). Software engineering is changing, and we are entering a new period in coding history. And we're still just getting started..

Nothing beats developer productivity than a desktop under your desk :)

@JeffDean @herron_brandan @Waymo The play on words is the best here : 😁

@sanjiva Interesting!

[Saliya Ekanayake @esaliya]

He loves attention so much!

[Saliya Ekanayake @esaliya]

@karpathy This could very well be an AI agent

[Saliya Ekanayake @esaliya]

@SunoMusic Love your product. One feature I am really missing is the ability to enforce a tune. For example during generation I'd find a particular one is nice. Then I'd want to use it with maybe slightly modified lyrics. Doing this today is extremely hard

@elonmusk @elonmusk "no GPUs were harmed in the making of this" 😃

@rasbt @ManningBooks Funny, I was searching for a tutorial on reasoning models and this post showed up timely. Pre-ordered!

[Saliya Ekanayake @esaliya]

@sameerajayasoma Love the logo

[Saliya Ekanayake @esaliya]

#GrokImagine is absolutely mind-blowing for both the quality and speed of generation. Almost scrollable speed

@elonmusk Time to build a X phone? I phone is not improving for years anyway

Kohl's has just become an Amazon return center only 🙂

[Saliya Ekanayake @esaliya]

@rasbt Stay strong, wishing you speedy recovery

[Saliya Ekanayake @esaliya]

@JeffDean This is cool. @JeffDean when could we expect Gemini to be integrated with Android auto? I'm already a happy paying customer and yesterday while driving had to figure out something and I was like ah, wish I could just ask from auto

[Saliya Ekanayake @esaliya]

@ideogram_ai this is mind blowing. I've never seen this level of quality with generated text embedded images
