Breaking news + politics before the algorithms. Software engineer shipping OpenClaw AI agents. Claude | Node | What actually works. ✌🏼

Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2 hour hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.

🚨 Deploy Hermes On The Abacus AI Super Computer You can now choose Claw or Hermes and deploy it on our cloud super computer - Bring you own Claude or Codex keys - Build on secure and scalable AI - Deploy in seconds Always on AI agents that you can simply message from Telegram or Whatsapp to do things

🚨 Anthropic just showed a 27-minute workshop on how to actually do prompts for Claude. Taught by the people who built it. Free. No registration. No paywall. I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes. Watch it and bookmark it now.

25,600 DEVELOPERS JUST STARRED A GITHUB REPO THAT LETS YOU RUN CLAUDE CODE COMPLETELY FREE THROUGH 10 DIFFERENT PROVIDERS. DeepSeek. Kimi. And 8 others. 5 minutes to set up. Already running on 20,000 machines. Here is what this actually does. Every Claude Code session you run normally hits Anthropic's API directly. Every token costs money. Every long autonomous run adds up. Every overnight agent session feels expensive before you even start it. This repo routes that same traffic through 10 free providers simultaneously. Same Claude Code interface. Same autonomous capabilities. Same multi-step builds. Zero API bill. Auto-fallback built in so if one provider rate limits the router switches to the next one automatically. You never hit a wall. You never watch a usage meter. You just build. The developers who have been throttling their Claude Code usage because of cost just had that constraint removed permanently. The solo builders who wanted to run overnight agent sessions but could not justify the inference cost just got their answer. The teams paying hundreds per month in API costs just found their alternative. 5 minutes to set up. 25,600 stars in days. 20,000 developers already running it. The gap between builders with API budgets and builders without one just closed. Star it. Fork it. Set it up before your next session. Bookmark this before you pay another API bill. Follow @cyrilXBT for every open source build that removes a cost barrier between builders and shipping.

Andrej Karpathy built a wiki to think with AI. I built something that thinks back. Claude Code + Obsidian equals an AI that actually knows you. Your goals. Your context. Your history. Not a chatbot you explain yourself to every session. A second brain that remembers everything permanently. Build it once. It compounds forever. Bookmark it for later and start this weekend.

GEMINI INSIDE HIGGSFIELD SUPERCOMPUTER JUST CHANGED WHAT ONE PERSON CAN DO IN MOTION DESIGN. One prompt. Finished motion piece out. No studio. No team. No workflow management. Here is what actually got me. Most AI video tools produce outputs that drift between shots. Frames that lose coherence. Visual identity that slips halfway through. Content that looks like three different teams made three different pieces stitched together. Higgsfield Supercomputer with Gemini inside holds frame-level coherence across the entire piece. No drift. No slip. No inconsistency. And the memory layer is what separates this from everything else. Your brand voice locks in on the first run. Your visual identity carries forward on every subsequent run. Every piece produced reads like one studio made the entire body of work. Not one prompt in isolation. Your entire content operation with consistent identity across every asset. 10 plus frontier models running under one agent simultaneously. GPT-5.5 Pro. Claude Opus. Gemini. Veo. Kling. Seedance. Each sub-task gets automatically routed to the best model for that specific job. You do not choose the workflow. You do not manage the models. You do not coordinate the outputs. You type what you want and the finished asset lands in the right folder. This is what Gemini-native motion design at scale actually looks like. Bookmark this before your next content project. Follow @cyrilXBT for every AI creative tool that changes what one person can produce.

more and more work is moving into coding agents, I don't live in my editor anymore but you gotta keep an eye on these little goblins, they write bad code. so we built a diff viewer in opencode! available now

With the Cursor SDK, you can build your own agents with Composer 2.5. It's now available in Python and TypeScript. This long weekend, Composer usage is 90% off in the SDK. We're excited to see what you build!

Kimi K2.6 = replaced an entire dev team. Works while you sleep. One person. Parallel agents. 90% profit margin. Zero employees. $80,000 a month solo. Most agency owners spend their first $80K on salaries, benefits, and management overhead before they make a single dollar of profit. This builder spent it on API costs and kept the rest. The math is not complicated. A dev team costs $30,000 to $60,000 a month in salaries. Parallel AI agents cost a few hundred dollars a month in inference. Same output. Fraction of the cost. Zero management overhead. Zero HR. Zero office politics. 4 to 6 hours saved every single day. The people still building agencies the old way are not losing to better agencies. They are losing to one person with the right AI stack who can undercut their pricing by 60% and still run at 90% margin. That is not a productivity upgrade. That is a structural economic advantage that compounds every month. The builders who figure this out in 2026 will be the ones everyone else is trying to reverse engineer in 2027.

🚨 Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code at Anthropic, just explained why most people aren't getting real results from Claude in this podcast he breaks down exactly how most people never actually set up Claude: - the 14% you lose to CLAUDE.md before typing a word - the features that change how Claude thinks before you type a word - the settings 95% of users have never opened - the workflows hiding behind one toggle if you've been using Claude for more than a month and never left the chat window, you have at least 30 untouched features. probably 38 instead of another show tonight, watch this make sure to bookmark it before it gets lost in your feed

INSTEAD OF WATCHING NETFLIX TONIGHT. Spend 2 hour with this. Claude AI FULL COURSE that teaches you how to BUILD and AUTOMATE anything. The people who watch this tonight will wake up tomorrow with a new skill. Watch it and Bookmark it now.

ANDREJ KARPATHY SPENT 4 MINUTES IN AN INTERVIEW AND ACCIDENTALLY EXPOSED HOW ALMOST NOBODY IS ACTUALLY USING CLAUDE. Not using it wrong. Not using it inefficiently. Not using it at all. His exact point: paying $20 a month for a subscription is not using Claude. Typing questions into a chat window is not using Claude. The real skill is building with Claude. And most people have never even started learning how to do that. He identified 4 behaviors that break Claude Code in almost every developer's setup. A developer took those 4 behaviors, expanded them into 21 configuration rules, and published them in one file. 82,000 GitHub stars. Number 1 on GitHub Trending. Coding accuracy jumped from 65% to 94%. Here are the 21 rules and why most developers have never configured them. Most Claude Code sessions fail not because Claude is incapable but because it operates without constraints. No rules about when to stop and ask versus when to proceed. No rules about how to handle uncertainty. No rules about file modification scope. No rules about when to run tests. No rules about how to communicate blockers. Without these rules Claude makes reasonable assumptions. Reasonable assumptions compound into unreasonable outcomes across a 200-turn session. The 21 rules eliminate the assumption layer entirely. Claude no longer guesses what you want when you have not specified. It follows rules you wrote once and never has to write again. The jump from 65% to 94% accuracy is not a model improvement. It is what happens when you stop asking Claude to guess and start telling it exactly how to operate. Karpathy understood this in 4 minutes. The file took one afternoon to configure. 82,000 developers have already starred it. Most of the people paying $20 a month still have not. Bookmark this. Follow @cyrilXBT for the exact configuration file that takes Claude Code from 65% to 94% accuracy.

2️⃣ Appshots bring context from your screen straight into the Codex app.

3️⃣ Goal mode is now available in the Codex app, IDE extension, and CLI. Goal mode makes Codex more hands-off, letting you set a goal that it can work towards for hours or even days.

4️⃣ Advanced annotation mode lets you directly adjust the way web pages look while leaving feedback, making it even easier to work together with Codex.

ANTHROPIC JUST DROPPED A FREE 33-PAGE GUIDE ON CLAUDE SKILLS. This is the cheat code nobody is talking about. Not a blog post. Not a tutorial video. 33 pages from the team that built Claude explaining exactly how to build Skills that automate any workflow permanently. Write it once. Call it forever. The people who read this guide this weekend will stop prompting from scratch by next week. The people who skip it will keep rewriting the same complex prompts every single session for the rest of the year. If this existed a year ago the way most people use Claude would look completely different today. It exists now. Bookmark this before it gets buried in your feed. Follow @cyrilXBT for every Anthropic resource that compounds your skills the moment it drops.

ANTHROPIC JUST SOLVED THE PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN HOLDING BACK EVERY CLAUDE CODE USER WHO IS NOT A SENIOR ENGINEER. One free plugin. It scans your project. It configures everything. Done. Here is the problem most people do not talk about with Claude Code. The tool is extraordinarily powerful when configured correctly. The configuration is extraordinarily painful to get right. Which MCP servers does your project actually need. Which hooks should fire for your specific workflow. Which subagents are relevant for your tech stack. Which slash commands would save you the most time. Answering those four questions correctly requires reading your entire project structure, understanding your dependencies, analyzing your code patterns, and cross-referencing all of that with what each available server and subagent actually does. Most developers skip this entirely. They install Claude Code with default settings. They get default results. They conclude Claude Code is good but not transformative. They are wrong about why. The official Anthropic plugin removes the manual configuration layer entirely. Point it at your project. It reads your structure. Your dependencies. Your code patterns. It installs the right MCP servers for your specific stack. It configures the right hooks for your specific workflow. It sets up the right subagents for your specific use cases. It creates the right slash commands for your specific repeating tasks. One scan. Perfect configuration. Free. The developer who has been running Claude Code at 40% capacity because setup was too painful just had every configuration problem solved automatically. The developer starting a new project today skips the entire painful configuration phase entirely. 100% free. Official Anthropic release. Install it before you open your next project. Bookmark this. Follow @cyrilXBT for every Claude Code release that changes what one person can build.
