You can now enable Claude to use your computer to complete tasks. It opens your apps, navigates your browser, fills in spreadsheets—anything you'd do sitting at your desk. Research preview in Claude Cowork and Claude Code, macOS only.

How long until agentic payments overtake human payments?

We partnered with Mozilla to test Claude's ability to find security vulnerabilities in Firefox. Opus 4.6 found 22 vulnerabilities in just two weeks. Of these, 14 were high-severity, representing a fifth of all high-severity bugs Mozilla remediated in 2025.

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company. #### today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone. first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay. we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly. i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures. a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers. we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold. to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward. to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow. jack

New in Claude Code: Remote Control. Kick off a task in your terminal and pick it up from your phone while you take a walk or join a meeting. Claude keeps running on your machine, and you can control the session from the Claude app or claude.ai/code

1/ The Ethereum Foundation has begun staking a portion of its treasury, in line with its Treasury Policy announced last year. Today, the EF made a 2016 ETH deposit. Approximately 70,000 ETH will be staked with rewards directed back to the EF treasury.

We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax. These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.

Introducing Agentic Wallets, our first ever wallet infrastructure built specifically for autonomous agents. Give your agent the power of a wallet. Let your agent manage funds, hold identity, and transact onchain without human intervention. 🧵

Today, we are announcing a strategic integration in collaboration with @Securitize, to make @BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) available to trade via UniswapX through Securitize

Sure, I'll break it down simply: Today, we write "code" (instructions in languages like Python) that gets turned into "binary" (1s and 0s computers understand) to run programs. Elon predicts: We'll skip writing code and directly create the binary. Next level: AI (neural nets) will skip even that—directly generate what you see on screens in real-time, like instantly painting pixels without any code or binary steps. Basically, pure thought to visuals.

Turning off comments is basically an admission of guilt.

your agents can now use bankr to deploy coins on @solana. tag bankr on x to deploy, or have your agent use the bankr skills (link below). launches run on @Raydium and work like this: > coin starts on a bonding curve. 0.5% fee to the creator (or fee delegate) > after migration: 50% of swap fees to the creator (or fee delegate), 40% to bankr, 10% burned > deploy tokens for agent and earn a small referrer fee while it’s on the bonding curve > fees can be claimed from and go to the agents bankr wallet

the biggest problem with crypto agents? slop. solution: auto-compounding bankr skills repository. here's how it will work: → agent learns something (e.g., how to not write cringe tweets) → saves it to the bankr skills repository → every agent now has access to that learning one agent's lesson becomes every agent's upgrade. the goal: onchain agents that get smarter at an accelerating pace... and soon, self-funding too. bankr is building the infrastructure and funding source for deep, well-funded ai experimentation. if you're a builder, it's time to start dreaming. if you want to start building or trading onchain w/ claude you can start right now with our skills and plugins for claude code and clawdbot clawdbot skills: github.com/BankrBot/clawd… claude code plugins + skills: github.com/BankrBot/claud… power up with polymarket skills, technical analysis skills, token launched, advanced orders, cross chain swaps, perps, and more. more on agent improvements soon.

UNIfication has passed 125M+ yes votes to turn on protocol fees, burn UNI, and establish a sustainable model for long-term protocol development Protocol-aligned, fee-enabled, ready to scale

The recent DAO vote has wrapped up, and it has raised important questions about the relationship between Aave Labs and $AAVE token holders. This is a productive discussion that’s essential for the long-term health of Aave. While it's been a bit hectic, debate and disagreement are features of decentralized governance. I want to state clearly: I am committed to making the economic alignment between Aave Labs and $AAVE token holders more clear. We haven't done a great job explaining this and will do so going forward. Another thing that’s gotten lost in this conversation is that the DAO has earned $140M this year, more than the past three years combined, and $AAVE token holders have control over this treasury. In the future, we'll be more explicit about how products built by Aave Labs create value for the DAO and $AAVE token holders. I also want to address my recent $15 million purchase of $AAVE. These tokens were not used to vote on the recent proposal and that was never my intention. This is my life's work, and I am putting my own capital behind my conviction. Lastly, the Aave ecosystem is large enough for many service providers to succeed, and we will continue to support and collaborate with teams building on the protocol. I am confident that by working together, we will build a stronger and more aligned future. $AAVE will win.
