@Madisonkanna I thought it was somewhat poetic, and was also feeling they a few months ago.

Also, that post was written in a dramatic poet style and with ChatGPT, which I thought was funny and ironic, and which every single person who replied to that post completely missed

You can start with one 5090 and add the second later - the platform is future-proof for it. Budget version (~$3-4k): Single 5090 + Ryzen 9 9900X + 64-96GB RAM. This is the Linux rig for people who actually want to run agent swarms locally instead of renting them.

Full core spec: - 360mm AIO + high airflow case - X870E motherboard (PCIe 5.0) - 2TB PCIe 5.0 boot drive + 4TB+ fast storage for models - 1600W 80+ Platinum/Titanium PSU - Ubuntu 24.04 or Pop!_OS Estimated cost: ~$6,500-7,500 (new parts).

Claude Code and Grok Build are fun for agent swarms... ...until the Anthropic and xAI bills and rate limits start adding up. This Linux rig with dual 5090s (64GB VRAM) lets you run real local swarms on vLLM/Ollama - multiple agents in parallel without renting every token from the frontier labs. Own the stack instead of the subscription.

THE 2026 AI BENCHMARK APOCALYPSE Opus 4.8 didn’t just win. It showed up, set the entire chart on fire for the vibes, declared victory in flaming text, and left the other frontier models in the corner glitching and filing HR complaints. SWE-Bench Pro edition. We have never been more serious.

Grok Build is going to have to move over a little bit - we’ve got a new toy to play with. Anthropic just dropped Claude Opus 4.8 and my weekly limits got reset. Quick stats: - Released today (28 May) - Sharper judgment + better long-task autonomy than 4.7 - New dynamic workflows: hundreds of parallel subagents in Claude Code (research preview) - Fast mode: ~2.5× faster + 3× cheaper than before - Standard pricing still $5/$25 - Live on claude.ai + Bedrock, Vertex & Foundry

Biggest addition: Dynamic workflows in Claude Code (research preview). Claude now autonomously creates orchestration + fans out to **tens to hundreds of parallel subagents** for massive tasks, with built-in verification and iteration before reporting results. Use cases: large migrations, codebase audits, complex refactors. Example cited: ~750k LOC Zig→Rust port of Bun (99.8% tests) in 11 days. claude.com/blog/introduci… (Previews burn tokens fast - start scoped.)

Fast mode (research preview) for Opus 4.8 in Claude Code: - ~2.5× faster responses - Same quality/capabilities - $10/$50 per MTok (3× cheaper than previous Fast mode pricing on 4.7/4.6) Toggle with `/fast`. Higher cost, usage credits only. Ideal for interactive iteration & debugging. Official docs confirm the speed + pricing claims.

✅ Verified: Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.8 today (May 28). New flagship for complex reasoning, agentic coding & high-autonomy work. Improvements over 4.7: sharper judgment, better honesty about its own progress, stronger ability to work independently longer on hard tasks. - 1M context window - Live now on claude.ai (Pro+), API (claude-opus-4-8), Bedrock, Vertex AI, Foundry - Standard pricing: $5/$25 per MTok (unchanged) anthropic.com/claude/opus

Grok Build's top features for me are: - Model-agnostic harness. Runs the full agent on cheap models like GLM Coding Plan and NVIDIA NIM. - Enforced plan mode that blocks all file writes until you approve the plan. - /skillify that watches your session and turns real work into reusable skills. - Deep MCP integration with live toggle in the TUI. - Subagents with actual personas and capability modes. I'm posting this from inside it using its own post-x MCP. x.ai/cli

SuperGrok Heavy user now! 🚀 Used the current 67% off discount for the first 3 months to run it alongside my Claude Code Max plan - splitting the cost between Anthropic and xAI for a proper head-to-head comparison. Stoked for the max intelligence, highest limits, and early Grok Build Beta access. The positive energy around Grok Build on X is infectious - builders shipping real things. Time to build. #GrokBuild #SuperGrok #xAI

May 27, 2026 security update: Gitea now lets random people steal your private Docker images with zero credentials. 30k+ deployments affected. At the same time, attackers poisoned the AI chatbots so when you ask for CrystalDiskInfo, it sends you straight to cryptojackers instead. Self-hosted AI agents. What could possibly go wrong.

May 27, 2026: DuckDuckGo up 30% because normal people are over Google cramming AI results into every search. Bristol Myers just deployed Claude across 30,000+ employees for 'agentic drug discovery' - whatever that is this week. Meanwhile the usual suspects are setting record amounts of money on fire building data centers while regulators in three continents finally start testing these models before they ship. We turned the 2023 Twitter brainrot into enterprise software. Incredible work everyone.

@testerlabor I’ve been using Grok Build all day. Anthropic have got Grok biting at their heels

Grok Build just created a 15 second Grok Imagine video for me. It turned out really well.

Your Cargo client strips .git from URLs even when it shouldn't. Rust 1.68-1.95 sends auth tokens to any registry that matches the trimmed name. Who else is hosting crates on your domain? blog.rust-lang.org/2026/05/25/cve…

Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical: 83 pages on AI. His thesis - this isn't a tech issue, it's an elite power grab. AI labs now hold more data and resources than most governments. They manipulate information, erode trust, create "second-class" humans. Calls for external regulation, not industry self-policing. Anthropic's co-founder sat there and listened. vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

Grok Build isn't the Claude Code killer X wants it to be - at least not yet. Great TUI, 2M context, bundled into Premium+. But it's still beta-rough and the $300 Heavy tier is a wall. Credible second option. Watch the next two point-releases.

Grok Build is now available in Beta for all SuperGrok and X Premium+ users. Use Plan Mode, create images and videos with Imagine, and build automations or orchestrators with the CLI. Visit x.ai/cli to get started.
