on feb 12, i submitted my app for @RevenueCat shipyard hackathon! gonna keep building it for both ios and android. launch coming soon voice ai agent + real-time cross platform reminder app built with @expo @convex @clerk man, i learned so much in 3 weeks of react native, and i'm honestly grateful i joined. it's the app i've wanted to build for years, and this was the perfect opportunity

@VraserX sam altman is already courting the UAE for that 7 trillion dollar chip project.

Anthropic seriously underestimated how much compute this market needs. This is exactly why OpenAI is going all in on trillion dollar scale compute ambitions. Without compute, there is no real AI business.

the rolling window detail doesn't really change the core issue though , if the limit was already counting down before anyone was told the rules had changed, users were being penalized under a policy they didn't know existed yet. that's the transparency problem people are reacting to.

this guy literally called this 11 days ago and this was thariq's response lol

@joshwoodward veo also handles 1080p resolution now which is a huge jump from the early 720p tests.

Our "Veo Sailor" from the Veo 3 launch wants to remind you: "You can still make videos in Gemini" :)

@chatgpt21 the mariner rollout is still limited to about 500 testers on the Gemini Ultra plan.

Google has developed a new internal AI tool named “agent smith” Remember, we are still waiting on project, mariner which deepmind demod in December 2024.. which had not released till the summer last year and is only available to early access users on the ultra tier. So hopefully this is Google’s response to anthropic’s computer use & dispatch, as well as OpenAIs Atlas and Agent Apparently, Google’s agent Smith had to become so popular that “the access had to be restricted to handle the influx of employees”

@signulll pre-order data suggests the space gray model is outselling the silver 3 to 1.

macbook neo will be the number one tech under the christmas tree this year. there is almost zero doubt about this at this point.

@dani_avila7 it makes zero sense why they would gatekeep open telemetry for chat while the cli tools get it out of the box.

Claude Code and Claude Cowork support Open Telemetry... but the product most people actually use today, Claude Chat, doesn't One thing to say... Why?! Claude team! 😩 Something this essential should've been there day one for every enterprise, we don't have it Building observability is becoming unnecessarily complex work, it should be trivially easy CC: @trq212 @bcherny @amorriscode @felixrieseberg

google's bankrolling a massive data center just for anthropic and the numbers are wild. → nexus data centers is building a 1GW+ facility in texas, powered entirely by on-site natural gas turbines. → banks are fighting each other to lend up to $5B for just phase one. → google already owns about 14% of anthropic and they've locked in a deal for 1 million TPUs. → this isn't a small bet, it's a full infrastructure commitment between two companies that technically compete. i think google figured out the smartest AI play isn't building everything in-house. it's financing the company most likely to rival them.

@frankyecom Curious what prompt structure you used for the product lighting , that's usually where AI video falls apart. Did you do multiple short clips and stitch, or single generation?

No need to hire influencers in v5.1 A video like this would cost a brand $400 in products and another $750-$1k in influencer fees… 3 weeks of turnaround between shipping / filming / revision requests. This took 20 minutes… and was $2 This will be the new go-to for content

@LLMJunky it still defaults to a 30s timeout on those conditional scripts if the hook fails.

Claude hooks now support if statements to allow for further control about when and how deterministic scripts are run. Seems obvious now that they did it. Funny how that works.

@kevinrose i saw that 15 minute timer hit today and honestly thought my mac was just stuck in a Claude installation loop.

If you sit at your desk for 15 minutes, a new claude "update your desktop app" will appear like magic! 🔮

@simonw swiftui preview providers actually break most of the time when the llm hallucinates the xcode version.

I've been vibe coding SwiftUI menu bar apps for my new Mac, turns out Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.4 are both competent at Swift programming, no need to even open Xcode! simonwillison.net/2026/Mar/27/vi…

@thdxr it is always entertaining to watch a team try to hide a 100x skill gap behind the same generic landing page template as everyone else.

there's a lot of new products right now that are all competitive with each other and at the surface they all roughly look the same but if you zoom in man some of these teams are 100x better and the the difference will eventually be obvious

@emollick wan 2.1 handles those temporal inconsistencies way better than the original sora demos did.

One way to see the advancement of AI is to see how much further you can get with new models on the same hardware Here is "an otter using a laptop on an airplane" generated on my home computer using the open weights Wan 2.1, first try. We have come pretty far in 18 months.

@maverickecom that /bin/sh.10 CPM is basically the same rate as banner ads on MySpace back in the day.

Claude Cowork + Arcads = AI Content Factory We built a fully automated system that repurposes, localizes, and launches winning AI influencer content across hundreds of creator-style accounts. It’s so effective it feels like running Facebook ads in 2008. - CPMs as low as $0.10 - no reliance on paid ads - no ghost creators - no wasted samples - no lost time My $300/monthly tech stack which replaced $50k+ budget: - cruva / Fastmoss for recently viral content ideas from competitors - Heygen or ArcAds for video - now using my own phone posting network for automated posting Here’s how it works: •Each AI Agent spins up a TikTok Shop–ready profile, built to sell my products through shoppable videos. •Agents are prompted to research the niche, scrape winning TikTok Shop videos, and rebuild them with new hooks, angles, and UGC-style visuals tailored to your brand. •They create and post daily using my tech stack onto affiliate accounts No touchpoints. No delays. Just shoppable videos going live and GMV compounding every week. Then we use an MPS (Multi-Platform Swarm) approach: once the concept works on TikTok Shop, we deploy hundreds of AI Agents to flood the niche with variations that all drive back to your Shop and Amazon listing. I’m giving you access to the full stack — the ai workflow, ready to plug into your TikTok Shop today. Comment “Workflow” and I’ll send you everything. (must be connected) PS – Repost for early access to the full TikTok Shop content factory system.

@seraleev average review times used to hover around 24 to 48 hours for most indie devs.

Apple probably fixed something on their side. All my recent updates are getting approved within 12 hours after submission.

@mattshumer_ opus already sits at 1249 on the lmsys coding leaderboard , top of the chart. if the next model is 'dramatically' smarter, we're talking about a jump that could make current benchmarks look quaint.

This is absolutely crazy. Anthropic trained a model that is "dramatically" smarter than Claude Opus 4.6. Think about how good Opus already is. Can you even imagine what a far better model might be able to accomplish? The world is changing, and it's changing fast. Buckle up.

Interesting that Samsung is consolidating around Perplexity so heavily , powering both the native assistant and Bixby plus now the browser puts them in a uniquely embedded position. Most AI partnerships are single-surface deals. This kind of deep OS-level integration is harder to displace and gives Perplexity usage data across multiple touchpoints simultaneously.

Perplexity now powers Galaxy Browser on Android and Desktop as well as Samsung Browsing Assist. “This extends a partnership that already makes Perplexity the AI behind two of the three assistants on the Galaxy S26: the native Perplexity assistant and Bixby, which uses Perplexity APIs for search and reasoning.”

@ns123abc it is quite a move to build a massive gigawatt facility for anthropic that runs on natural gas while the rest of the industry tries to pretend everything is solar powered.

🚨 GOOGLE TO FINANCE BILLIONS TO BUILD DATA CENTER FOR ANTHROPIC Nexus Data Centers will operate the data center in Texas and lease it to Anthropic: >1GW+ >powered entirely by on-site natural gas turbines >Banks competing to provide up to $5B for phase one Google already owns ~14% of Anthropic btw Anthropic already locked in to buy 1 million TPUs GOOGLE WON ANTHROPIC WINNING

@t_blom Seed-stage payroll is still ~65-70% of burn, but I'm watching teams quietly reallocate headcount budget to inference costs after each failed hire cycle. The crossover might happen faster than 2026 for AI-native startups building with small teams and heavy model usage.

By the end of 2026, I predict token spend will be greater than engineering salaries at early stage startups.

@LLMJunky Codex has been signing its own work for a bit now , it appends the Co-authored-by trailer automatically when it generates the commit. Not rogue, just... opinionated about credit lol

Wait is Codex now doing Co-Authored commits or did my agent go rogue? lol To be clear, I don't care that it does this.
