@chhddavid is that hyperframes?

[Oleg Melnikov @olegrows]

Opus 5 on the max thinking is DUMBER and COSTS more than previous level of thinking strength...

LOL

[Oleg Melnikov @olegrows]

Every few weeks we get noticeably better AI for the same cost. What a world we live in...

[Oleg Melnikov @olegrows]

Anthropic accidentally faked their benchmarks for Opus 5.

In agentic coding Fable 5 is better, but the table highlights Opus 5 as a winner 😁

Happy IPO guys!!

P.S. I know it's a minor thing, and hype is hype. Still a huge fan of Claude Code.

[Oleg Melnikov @olegrows]

Opus 5 out... It's funny how much Anthropic and other AI labs INFLATE the perceived improvement to BUY THE HYPE.

From the chart, the gap between Opus 5 and 5.6-Sol is insane.

But as we all know, the gains marginal and hard to notice on the majority of tasks.

Happy IPO!!

Saw @bcherny tweet about 4 levels of AI adoption:

Level 0: using zero AI agents, just Claude chat

...all the way to...

Level 4: using 1000+ AI agents at once

I really loved the concept, and simplified his explanation into an easy tutorial. Enjoy.

See you at Level 4 😁

[Oleg Melnikov @olegrows]

In 2026 I wrote 7,377 prompts for AI.

All via voice through WisprFlow.

633,225 words dictated.

Sometimes using Russian curse words like "tuporiliy pid***s" or "b***t" 😁

It's crazy how much my life is different now compared to 6 months ago.
No more typing, no more micromanaging AI agents.

Just 10 minutes of dumping raw ideas and context inside a prompt via voice.
And then just let Opus 4.8 or Fable 5 (on the days when I'm rich) do it's thing for 1 hour while I'm busy doing other things.

I can do team communication, clients delivery, sales calls or YouTube videos recording.

All while hundreds of agents (thanks to /goal and ultracode commands inside CC) do software heavy lifting.

This is a huge reason why we were able to improve the service at https://t.co/CyUc85VYSC with rapid speed.

We live in a super accelerated AI world.
To be fair though, it's not evenly distributed and a major piece of population is still lagging.

Anyways, huge fan of dictating and shouting at my agents.

IDK how people who work in open spaces do that. Do you even chat with AI via voice? I think WisprFlow made something to make whispering enough. But I'm still not sure how comfortable that is.

Sending a ton of love to @WisprFlow 's team 🖤

@mattpocockuk i have kinda unrelated question. do you have some sort of a super brain that is an entrance to all tasks? like one main folder with main claude.md

i'm asking because if there is no such a thing, then your actual brain has to be that storage

and i'm curious if that's optimal

[Oleg Melnikov @olegrows]

@korolevastasiaa We have to find a way to screen for "AI enthusiasm". Basically to check that a candidate actually loves learning the latest AI.

[Oleg Melnikov @olegrows]

@mikekamo I agree about "fully custom tailored", I just built a Chrome extension for myself to block the social media the way I want to.

[Oleg Melnikov @olegrows]

I landed in Paris knowing almost nobody, so I used Claude Code to find cool people to meet.

I was traveling and wanted to meet interesting, like-minded people. People running businesses with something to do with content or marketing. But I didn't know almost anybody there.

So I did what any normal person would do.

I found one creator I was following on Instagram. Half a million audience, based in Paris. I knew that much about him. Then I gave that to Claude Code and said: scrape who this guy is following, and find creators who also live in Paris. Paris in the bio, French name, decent following, seemed interesting.

It scraped and surfaced people.

I cold DM-ed them, and ended up meeting 2 like-minded entrepreneurs of the back of it.

Most of you use CC for dashboards and automations and productivity systems. And yeah, I use it for that too.

But sometimes it's just: I'm in a new city, I want to meet real people, and I have 30 minutes to figure it out. Claude Code solves that as well.

@rom1trs was it one-shot prompt?

In the age of AI, be as human as humanly possible.

[Oleg Melnikov @olegrows]

@HeyGen is that open source?

[Oleg Melnikov @olegrows]

@geoheaton is this a good one for gaining mass?
I think that's a good one to just feel good 😁

[Oleg Melnikov @olegrows]

@bcherny do you have one entry point to any work?
like on super brain project that controls everything
or is it still inside your own brain, while on your computer you still have multiple projects?

[Oleg Melnikov @olegrows]

@geoheaton will be working out with Thunderstruck in my headphones today
