I’m truly honored to be joining the design crew at @GoogleDeepMind. After a bit of rest and time with family, I can’t wait to get to work on the Gemini app team.

I’ve decided to leave Meta. Today is my last day after a total of almost 10 years and two stints here. I’ve grown and learned so much from everyone I’ve crossed paths with. Thank you for everything, you know who you are 💙.

And some final outputs of the model. Fun little project, and done with @antigravity + @GoogleColab in ~5 hours. The creative applications of modern coding agents are so exciting.

[Steven Schafer @stevenschafer]

Inspired by Robbie Barrat's work (@videodrome) I forked their repo to adapt it to run on a modern GPU using Pytorch. I trained a new model on an abstract painting data set and made a fun iOS app + home screen widget that auto updates using the model on-device. 🧵👇🏻

The original repo: https://t.co/k8GUnaKiXx and some training iterations I thought were interesting.

Who is working on Xcode's Coding Assistance (the agent chat)? It's insane to me that the chat panel is on the same side as the Navigator. If I prompt the agent about file structure, I have to leave the chat tab to check it, forcing me to switch back and forth. Make it make sense.

[Steven Schafer @stevenschafer]

This is one of those things that seem so obvious in hindsight. Imagine this for software building — Rich contextual feedback for coding agents. Can't wait to try this.

We’re reimagining a 50-year-old interface - the mouse pointer - with AI. 🖱️

These experimental demos show how people can intuitively direct Gemini on their screens using motion, speech, and natural shorthand to get things done 🧵

@henrytdowling Just checking it out for now. I've seen some tweets saying its really good for iOS development / Swift. Not sure I agree yet... Takes a lot more steers than my setup on Claude Code.

[Steven Schafer @stevenschafer]

Its interesting how I feel kinda bad switching over from Claude Code to Codex, even if for a bit. Emotional equity with your agent(s) is probably a thing. Says a lot about how good the models are getting.

if elon can't take down openai, he's going to give gpus to all its competitors via spacex (cursor, and today: anthropic)

[Steven Schafer @stevenschafer]

My feed on X rips, ngl. Really thought Elon was gonna kill this thing. Guess I was wrong.

Could leave anytime, still here.
