I just put up a new post on Medium called The Flat Curve Society, where I take a bunch of random guesses about where things are headed, assuming Mythos (or its successor) is the most powerful model class that most of us will ever have access to. Which it just might be.

@FreddyLA7 I'd make sure to hit West, TX as someone else pointed out and get Kolache's at CzechStop, then PantherCity BBQ in Fort Worth, then go to stockyards too.
Texas Monthly named these D-FW barbecue joints as the best-of-the-best - Panther City BBQ https://t.co/riE1UEvuT7

@pomi0423 This is a 2 for 1 - Panther City BBQ in Fort Worth is phenomenal for bbq, but also have a brisket smash burger which is awesome. Texas Monthly named these D-FW barbecue joints as the best-of-the-best - Panther City BBQ https://t.co/ahxC1R2SXT

contrary to the default reaction on this little website, this is absolutely incredible news for anthropic.

i mean obviously yes, the operational disruption is real. but public & world perception wise, this could not be a bigger home run. could be a grand slam type situation.

the fucking united states govt just looked at their model & effectively said.. yeah this shit is too powerful. you simply cannot buy that kind of aura. it elevates every other product by the company & it instantly reframes anthropic’s work as strategically significant, nationally relevant, & qualitatively different from the rest of the field.

there is not a single institution on the planet that can buy or orchestrate this type of significance.

absolutely ridiculous.

@bcherny @claudeai my personal account/org was banned for some reason and I can't get to the appeals page to ask for a review. there seems to be a redirect chain where /account-ban-appeals → /restricted → /new so that I am unable to enter my info. Can you please help?

We’ve automated every single thing we can @every with AI agents.

And yet there’s way more human work to do than ever. We’ve gone from 4 -> 30 human employees since GPT-3.

I wrote a report on the structural reasons: how AI makes expert competence cheap, why that drives up demand for experts, and why the dynamic only intensifies as we approach AGI.

On topic: there is a mistake I saw large companies make in late 2025/early 2026 which is they picked their coding model provider, chat tool, and harness and put the whole company on it. There was a big leap in model ability and folks felt confident.

I have been walking into these teams and they have no idea how good codex is or that notion AI is sick af, of what’s what in the agent world.

And now they’re sunk in a contract AND internal intertia while missing out on the best & most efficient tools of the moment.

Let me say it again for people in the back:
We are pre convergence on tools!!! Keep your organizational options open!!!

Consumer (well, enterprise) choice is a gift when everyone is competing for your business and capabilities jump every month.

Leverage it.

Awesome overview of firecracker

[Kyle Jeong @kylejeong]

Every AWS Lambda invocation runs in a full VM that boots in under 125ms.

Firecracker is the ~50,000 line Rust binary that makes that possible.

I wrote an interactive blog about it, with components you can play with.

[Thariq @trq212]

HTML is the new markdown.

I've stopped writing markdown files for almost everything and switched to using Claude Code to generate HTML for me. This is why.

[Swami Sivasubramanian @SwamiSivasubram]

When we open-sourced Strands Agents SDK last year, we wanted to bring builders an easier way to build and run AI agents with just a few lines of code. Since then, the Strands Python SDK has been downloaded more than 25 million times, with more developers building with it every day.

Now, TypeScript developers can enjoy the same experience, with full type safety, custom tools, and the ability to run agents in both Node.js and the browser.

Strands is an agent harness SDK that goes beyond the core agent loop. It gives developers the default tools and control layers they need to build agents that can execute code, work with files, manage their own context, and stay on task as they scale. TypeScript 1.0 ships these harness capabilities built into the SDK. Default tools for shell execution, file editing, HTTP access, and structured notes, alongside customizable hooks and plugins that give developers control at every point in the agent lifecycle.

All you need is a few lines of code to get started. We're building this in the open and contributions are welcome. Whether it's a bug fix, a new feature, or a cool example, we'd love to see what you build. Join us on GitHub and let us know what you think.

Claude Cowork is now available via Amazon Bedrock in public research preview.

Organizations can run @claudeai Cowork through their own AWS environment, keeping prompts, files, and model responses within their AWS account.

Introducing Claude Design by Anthropic Labs: make prototypes, slides, and one-pagers by talking to Claude.

Powered by Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable vision model. Available in research preview on the Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, rolling out throughout the day.

[cat @_catwu]

Opus 4.7 is live in Claude Code today!

The model performs best if you treat it like an engineer you're delegating to, not a pair programmer you're guiding line by line. Here are three workflow shifts we recommend for this model 🧵

Great tips here

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

Dogfooding Opus 4.7 the last few weeks, I've been feeling incredibly productive. Sharing a few tips to get more out of 4.7 🧵

@chadbailey59 @pipecat_ai Rizz Hauler is hilarious

[kwindla @kwindla]

Big day today. Pipecat version 1.0. Two years in the making. The most widely used framework for voice agents, but not just voice agents. Pipecat is a framework for realtime, multi-modal, multi-model AI applications. Contributions from NVIDIA, all the foundation labs, AWS, GCP, and Azure. Used by thousands of startups, scale-ups, and enterprises.

Pipecat Subagents v0.1.0. A new library for sub-agent orchestration. Which is just a fancy way of saying running lots of inference loops in parallel, with partially shared context. The basic architecture of Pipecat Subagents is an event bus that works locally, and over the network.

And Gradient Bang. The side project that broke containment. Built with Pipecat and Pipecat Subagents. Gradient Bang was actually the proving ground for the early Subagents work. But ... it's also a really fun game.

For two decades, S3 has been an object store, but today it's something broader. S3 Files lets you mount any bucket as a filesystem—no copies, no sync scripts, no choosing between file and object. @andywarfield tells the full story, including the "filerectories" that almost made the cut. https://t.co/zrkLOZS5Qe

I wanted to share a bunch of my favorite hidden and under-utilized features in Claude Code. I'll focus on the ones I use the most.

Here goes.
