My AI predictions for 2025. Let me know what you think!

What is old is new again - BlogRoll reborn for the AI era! Finally a turn back to what made twitter amazing to begin with - the following tab reborn! Love it!

@mweinbach On device depends on who. OS models like Apple Intelligence you are spot on. But if you are app developer using custom models you want existing ones to work better without interfering with other apps. Really wish Apple would let devs load outside models with a unified API

On TurboQuant, I see 2 possible outcomes 1. we reallocate memory towards larger models and larger context, so freed up memory goes to improving models 2. we keep everything as is and just shrink costs to generate tokens I'd wager we see the shift towards 1, not 2

@sundeep @eetimes “Sunny proposed [disaggregation with Nvidia GPUs] to me, and at first I was against it,” Ross said" LEGEND - Respect!

Warms me to read this in @eetimes eetimes.com/how-why-not-le… No one knows more about accelerators than us 😎

@mweinbach ha! Nice! Thanks! App Intents rumors have been out for a while now. Wonder if they open up Personal Context APIs

@arjunram dynamic island, which uses live activities

If everything thing here is accurate, and it likely is because I’m near certain Gurman lives in the walls of Apple Park… Apple is likely to have the most compelling AI platform of any lab or platform vendor. Parts of the UX described seem great as well as features. I’m excited.

@mweinbach "Live activity" ? was it in the article?

@arjunram Live activity, dedicated app, better model, app intents

@sergeisorokin Anytime! Speaking of which catch up overdue!

@arjunram Thank you Arjun for helping us shape this vision from early days!

@sergeisorokin is one to watch. Have enjoyed my discussions with him. Congratulations on the role/raise. They are lucky to have you!

@ryancarson Same here. If it works please post what you did. Can’t wait to junk Sonos software for S1. Lousy they don’t care.

@arjunram i think so - they're old

So I got sick and tired of the shitty Sonos app not being able to control my Sonos speakers in my house so we gave up using our Sonos speakers for a long time. Then I thought this morning, "Wait a second, I bet R2, my OpenClaw, can control the speakers and fix that." Sure enough, he can, so I recorded this little video for you all. @steipete @openclaw 👏

@sergeisorokin @tryhighlight @khoslaventures Thrilled for you Sergei, team is lucky to have you! 🚀

I spent 8 years scaling Discord and got burnt out cause modern work is broken. We’re overwhelmed with too much info across apps, teams, and agents. AI made it worse. We’re building the solve. I've joined @tryhighlight as CEO and we raised a $40M Series A led by @KhoslaVentures.

@dsp_ Wait what? Weren’t you doing this already with your search tool? Or is this something new or just the same stuff available across all 3 surfaces??

No more context bloat from unused MCP servers in your context. Claude, Cowork and Claude Code now load MCP tools on demand. Before and after:

@mutewinter @thdxr Time to relearn the lesson that software is more than just code.

@thdxr 10x engineer is more like 10x at the start of the day and 2x by the end of the day after review, bug fixes, regressions

when people estimate their calorie intake it's completely off unless they're writing it down after everything they eat this is the same with everyone self assessing productivity gains almost always wildly over stated

@StevenFulop Mayor, you might made an effort on a number of fronts but there were downsides to this being felt now. Classroom sizes at 35, path overloaded, city in lot of debt. So please put things in perspective. Leadership is hard I get it.

When I was mayor - I prioritized housing growth at all costs + Jersey City built at more than 3x the per-capita rate of the region - and it still took nearly a decade before rents stabilized but they eventually did

I’m sure the abundance crowd would agree - NYC rents keep rising and ppl act surprised as if it’s a mystery. It’s not. Reality is that even if everything went right tomorrow with construction, it’s a 10-year fix before it corrects - and ppl need to be honest about how to fix it for it to be meaningful: 1.Fast-track approvals 2.Upzone around transit (yes, despite NIMBY pushback) 3.Rework incentives that bake in ~30% higher costs by mandating union labor no matter what (Unions should have a last look but they have to be somewhat competitive with the market) 4. Freezing the rent WON’T work without property tax reform to address the cost side of housing - needs to happen simultaneously Until ppl are honest about supply + cost structure , nothing changes and the summer rental season will be worse

@jacobandreou @itsPaulAi @wildpinesai So do you just use their models and nothing else? When you say powered by Claude cowork what does it mean?

@itsPaulAi @wildpinesai Diff agent loop but we do use Claude models (and others) inside Copilot

Copilot Tasks is seriously good?! Even one of the best alternative to Claude Cowork Using a single prompt it was able to: → Use a cloud browser to find the right tool → Interact with the page to enter data → Interpret all the info given by the page → Generate a PowerPoint based on it → Draft an email containing the learnings Because it has access in real time to multiple Microsoft Office apps like Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc. but also Outlook. Everything was seamless. First try. And you can even ask it to schedule this task (or another one) to run it every Friday, once a month, you name it. As with OpenClaw, the use cases are basically infinite.

@coreyhainesco following up from the Discord to DM, can't DM unless verified. My DMs are open if you see this!

@charliermarsh Wow. Congratulations 🍾

We've entered into an agreement to join OpenAI as part of the Codex team. I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done so far, incredibly grateful to everyone that's supported us, and incredibly excited to keep building tools that make programming feel different.

@joshmohrer I see what you did there 😁 did you also launch a Mac app?

Don't settle for closed :)

@mweinbach @Volts_PC Using the same SDK or built your own harness?

@Volts_PC it's claude cowork but model agnostic + a little better with multi model subagents and deliberate no open router for now

Ok new Cowork agent update Full support for ChatGPT login for both models and web search, you can use GPT 5.4 and GPT 5.4 Mini with ChatGPT Plus and Pro Try it out! github.com/mweinbach/agen…

@brian_scanlan This is a fascinating thread. How are folks sharing skills within their teams? And are all of these non technical users on Claude Code? 👀

LOADS of incident/troubleshooting investigation skills. They're starting to converge, using progressive disclosure in a solid core skill that can figure out what to do for specific issues. We have a goal to make all runbooks follow-able by Claude in the next 6 weeks.

We've been building an internal Claude Code plugin system at Intercom with 13 plugins, 100+ skills, and hooks that turn Claude into a full-stack engineering platform. Lots done, more to do. Here's a thread of some highlights.
