Grok 4.5 is built for real-world engineering. It excels in large codebases and handles long-running tasks that span multiple repositories, hundreds of skills, and a variety of tools.

🚨 Yarchi just published an awesome guide on building an AI "second brain" using Claude and Obsidian
Based on @karpathy's LLM Wiki concept, the idea is to stop starting from a blank chat window and start building a compounding knowledge graph.
Obsidian handles the local storage.
Claude acts as the brain.
I wrote down the condensed notes on how to wire them together:
The Stack:
→ Install Obsidian (your free, local text storage) and Claude Desktop Pro (the engine that reads and writes files).
The Bridge:
→ Install the "Local REST API" plugin in Obsidian, copy the key, and use Claude’s MCP framework to connect them (claude mcp add-json obsidian-vault...).
The Context:
→ Ask Claude to interview you. Have it ask about your goals, projects, and working style, then save it all to a CLAUDE.md file so it never forgets who you are.
The Structure:
→ Create specific project folders (Inputs, Process, Outputs, Feedback) and open them as isolated vaults so Claude stays focused on one job at a time.
The Automation:
→ Save repeated workflows as markdown "skills" and use Claude's schedule tab to trigger daily vault maintenance.
Voilà!
You end up with an AI that organizes your files, summarizes your notes, and remembers your entire context.

A CHINESE TRADER BUILT A SECOND BRAIN IN OBSIDIAN THAT GENERATES 3 TRADING IDEAS EVERY MORNING AT 6AM AND MADE $180,000 IN 6 MONTHS.
No Bloomberg terminal.
No analytics desk.
No team of analysts.
A Mac Mini by the wall.
An iPhone in his pocket.
One local Obsidian vault.
Six N8N pipelines running 24/7, pulling every article he reads, every podcast he listens to, and every voice note he drops into a Telegram bot—directly into the vault.
Every night, a neural network reads across 4,000 connected notes and finds the strongest connections between fresh information and old theses.
Every morning at 6AM, a brief lands in his inbox:
- 3 trading ideas with confidence scores
- The emerging thesis of the week
- Any note that contradicts an active position
The system only wakes him up when a fresh note contradicts his thesis, or when an idea breaks 90% confidence.
Everything else runs without him.
The monthly bill: $120 in API costs.
The monthly return: approximately $30,000 into the account.
Traditional quant funds pay teams of 8 people to produce the same flow of insights.
He pays $120 and a Mac Mini.
The full system breakdown is in the article below.

Google CEO, Sundar Pichai:
"If you don't teach your agents to debug themselves now, you will keep wasting hours every week."
In 30 minutes he explains why the best engineers stopped writing code and started building agents.
Most people think building an agent requires an engineering degree.
It doesn't. It requires one guide and one afternoon.

Local AI hardware = capacity × bandwidth × software stack
- Capacity tells you what fits
- Bandwidth tells you how hard the box can breathe
- The software stack tells you how much of the spec sheet you can actually cash out.
Hardware by Memory Bandwidth
- Mac Studio M3 Ultra: up to 512GB @ 819 GB/s
- RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell: 96GB @ 1792 GB/s
- RTX 5090: 32GB @ 1792 GB/s
- RTX 4090: 24GB @ 1008 GB/s
- RX 7900 XTX: 24GB @ 960 GB/s
- Radeon PRO W7900: 48GB @ 864 GB/s
- AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700: 32GB @ 640 GB/s
- Intel Arc Pro B65: 32GB @ ~608 GB/s
- Tenstorrent Wormhole n300: 24GB @ 576 GB/s
- Tenstorrent Blackhole p150: 32GB @ 512 GB/s + 800G
- MacBook Pro M5 Max: 460-614 GB/s
- MacBook Pro M5 Pro: 307 GB/s
- DGX Spark: 128GB @ 273 GB/s (coherent + CUDA)
- Mac mini M4 Pro: 273 GB/s
- Ryzen AI Max / Strix Halo: ~256 GB/s (~96GB usable GPU)
- MacBook Air M5: 153 GB/s
- Snapdragon X2 Elite: 152-228 GB/s
- Intel Lunar Lake: 136 GB/s
- Snapdragon X Elite: 135 GB/s
- Mac mini M4: 120 GB/s
- Arc Pro B60: 24GB @ ~456 GB/s
Verdict
- GPUs are still the bandwidth kings
- Apple wins: stupid amounts of memory, don’t want to shard across GPUs
- Apple loses: when raw tokens/sec & concurrency matter more
- DGX Spark: coherent memory + NVIDIA stack
- Strix Halo / Ryzen AI Max: first real x86 unified-memory contender
- Tenstorrent: fully OSS stack, excited to see this mature
Fitting ≠ serving
Even if it fits, you still pay for
- bandwidth during decode
- KV cache growth
- dequantization
- batching + concurrency
- scheduler quality
- framework overhead
The only mental model that matters:
1. What must fit?
2. What bandwidth tier do I need?
3. What software stack can actually deliver it?
In short:
- NVIDIA → fastest raw speed
- Apple Studio M3 Ultra → biggest one-box memory
- Strix Halo → first real x86 unified
- DGX Spark → coherent NVIDIA dev appliance
- AMD / Intel Arc → rising alternatives
- Tenstorrent → fully opensource stack
Do ask: “which bottleneck am I buying?”
Not: “which hardware is best?”
Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2 hour hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.
Met a guy making $1.6 million a year.
Three days ago he was at a Meta conference. Told me he saw the best AI talk of his life.
Boris Cherny was on stage. Showed how the Anthropic team actually uses Claude day to day.
Boris deleted his IDE eight months ago. Now he codes from his phone.
I watched it last night. Had to pause it twice.
Not because it was hard. Because I realized I've been using Claude like a toy.
He sent me the recording. It was never published.
Posting it below.
Anthropic engineers just showed how they build a full app from scratch, using a loop of agents
40 minutes from the team behind Claude Code
they used three agents: one to plan, one to build, one to judge, cycling until the app actually works
the winners won't have the smartest model, they'll have the best loop
watch it, then read the full guide on how to actually use loops below
I genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't using this yet
Andrej Karpathy, a co-founder of OpenAI, posted a simple idea that hit 16 million views: stop using AI to write code, use it to build a second brain.
You point Claude Code at a folder, drop in any source, an article, a transcript, a PDF, and Claude reads it, links it, and files it into a living wiki of everything you know. It compounds like interest, the more you feed it, the smarter it gets.
Here's the whole thing:
> Install Obsidian, create a vault, open it in Claude Code
> Paste Karpathy's wiki idea file and tell Claude to build it
> Claude makes three folders: raw for sources, wiki for its pages, a CLAUDE.md that runs it
> Drop any source into raw and say "ingest this"
> Ask questions across everything, forever
Five minutes to set up, and you never start from a blank chat again.
