In Cowork, you give Claude access to a folder on your computer. Claude can then read, edit, or create files in that folder. Try it to create a spreadsheet from a pile of screenshots, or produce a first draft from scattered notes.

Introducing Cowork: Claude Code for the rest of your work. Cowork lets you complete non-technical tasks much like how developers use Claude Code.

Sooo excited for this

Honestly, Ben Affleck actually knowing AI and the landscape caught me off guard, but as a writer, makes sense. Great takes across the board.

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit. My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently. So, here goes.

Um… the Claude Chrome Extension that controls my browser is insane.

Gemini 3 has really changed the AI game. People are coming up with wild use cases. There's a major shift. 10 examples: 1. Dashboard with live hand tracking controls

Opus 4.5 puts the world roughly back on track for the red line 😬 Every ~4 months, the length of coding tasks AI agents can perform (compared to human professionals) *doubles* More context on this finding in @METR_Evals thread x.com/METR_Evals/sta…

Don't think of LLMs as entities but as simulators. For example, when exploring a topic, don't ask: "What do you think about xyz"? There is no "you". Next time try: "What would be a good group of people to explore xyz? What would they say?" The LLM can channel/simulate many perspectives but it hasn't "thought about" xyz for a while and over time and formed its own opinions in the way we're used to. If you force it via the use of "you", it will give you something by adopting a personality embedding vector implied by the statistics of its finetuning data and then simulate that. It's fine to do, but there is a lot less mystique to it than I find people naively attribute to "asking an AI".

Users can now build and edit new assets like slides, sheets, and docs across all search modes in Perplexity. Currently available on the web Perplexity Pro and Max subscribers.

I mostly buy stuff from ChatGPT now, so I am excited for this new feature!

My new favorite model list Coding - Sonnet-4, Grok code Reasoning - GPT-5 high Writing - GPT-5 medium Video - Wan 2.5, Kling 2.5 Image - SeaDance, NanoBanana News - Grok 4 OCR - Gemini Flash Classification -GPT-4 mini Voice - OpenAI, ElevenLabs Best for fine-tunes - Qwen, Llama Released this month - Wan 2.5, Kling 2.5, NanoBanana

By popular request: you can now branch conversations in ChatGPT, letting you more easily explore different directions without losing your original thread. Available now to logged-in users on web.

Writing transforms thoughts into power

Don't sleep on small models! Anemoi is the latest multi-agent system that proves small models pack a punch when combined effectively. GPT-4.1-mini (for planning) and GPT-4o (for worker agents) surpass the strongest open-source baseline on GAIA. A must-read for devs:

@pmddomingos The real question isn’t whether we’re hallucinating—it’s which version of the hallucination we’ve collapsed into.

We live in a hallucination.
