Anthropic engineer:
"You're not supposed to prompt Claude. You're supposed to build a system that prompts itself."
this is one of the best workflows I've seen in a long time
in this video she breaks down exactly how most people are using Claude:
- the 14% you lose to CLAUDE.md before typing a word
- the automation workflows most users don't know exist
- the daily task pipelines that run without touching the keyboard
- the daily workflows Anthropic's own engineers automated first
if you've been using Claude for more than a month and never left the chat window, you've been using one agent when you could be running a team of them

Optimism is not the belief that everything will be fine, but the belief that problems are SOLVABLE, combined with the willingness to actually go solve them. That thesis has built every good thing we have.

Our aspiration with Codex is to remove software creation as a limiting factor on the world’s ambition.
Not just for product companies and engineers, but also for users across every role and beyond business use-cases (Codex is for everyone).
Writing code is the first step toward accelerating software creation, but we still haven’t yet seen the true explosion of software that should be possible with advances in AI coding.
Deploying useful software also requires clear specifications, well-designed code, security guarantees, careful deployment, production monitoring, and constant iteration.
Thinking of this system as a software factory feels pretty apt. We’ve already seen exciting examples of this working well within OAI, like the work @_lopopolo wrote about in the Harness Engineering blog post. I’ve also seen great examples from customers across startups and enterprises. However, doing this well requires a lot of laborious work to get right.
I think the model capabilities feel very close to supporting this end-to-end, though we'll make them even better. The limiting factor now is likely giving models and agents access to the right tools, and having them run at the right moments, so they can truly push the whole process forward.
Once we get there, I think we’ll be in an extremely exciting world where software can be both great and disposable.
When we do see that software explosion, I think things will feel significantly different from even what we've seen so far.
Sam Altman walked back his AI job apocalypse prediction. What changed? Real-world deployments showed augmentation, not replacement. Humans plus AI is the winning formula.
5.5 is unbelievable
Yesterday night I, once again, left 4 codex tabs optimizing the new HVM5 (nothing to do with Bend2). This time I was sure I covered every form of reward hack it could possibly do. I defined what "general" means, I put a max perf cap so it couldn't just hardcode the answers, I locked the tests, I put clear time (not interaction) metrics. I went to bed confident it couldn't do anything other than optimize the interpreter.
... the interpreter, huh?
I never wrote "interpreter".
I just asked it to make HVM5 faster.
...
...
...
It built a compiler.
It built a complete functioning compiler. Overnight.
It works. HVM5 is compiled now. It overshot the target 10-fold.
But it is a compiler.
For SupGen, that doesn't work because it generates functions dynamically. We need a fast interpreter.
It didn't touch the interpreter.
...
Building apps has never been easier.
With Sites, Codex can turn your work, ideas, and plans into an interactive website or app your team can explore, use, and share with a URL.
Rolling out to Business and Enterprise plans, before expanding more broadly.
We just launched Sites into Codex!
Software creation was always about more than writing code. Sites in Codex fundamentally gives the power of end-to-end software creation to every user, no matter their technical fluency.
These Sites are fully deployed to a URL, private to workspaces, come with authentication, can have static files, and can store dynamic data in databases.
It is in preview for business and enterprise teams and will be rolling out to all workspaces over the next day. Give it a try by typing @ Sites into Codex and ask it to build anything!
This project took a massive amount of effort across hundreds of people at OpenAI - proud that we were able to get this out and excited to see what you all build with it!
