Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors. Available today at the same price.

Built out a Starship V3 appreciation page using Grok Build to test out Grok's frontend and design taste, and congrats to the @SpaceX team!! Keep in mind Grok Build is still in beta, but here are my thoughts testing for this webapp: Pros: - Grok's design taste: didn't spend that much time getting the design cleaned up, but I think it's pretty decent compared to other agents. - access to X: X is one of best sources of latest news, and grok build has X tools built into it, which I think will be a huge advantage for any current event related agents, or agent needing the most up to date info. (all tweets, videos, images on the page were fetched by Grok through X). - ability to figure out appropriate tool use - tui exp and parity on /commands - context window seemed efficient Feedback: - long running tasks: I tried telling the agent to implement -> spin up review subagents -> fix -> review and repeat until no findings, but often the agent stopped even though it knew there were new findings and told me to just say "go" to continue. - /goal is missing but likely in the works, and I think it'll help dramatically with ^ - self verification: I built in a /self-test skill into all of my agent work, but Grok would say something is done though it wasn't done or verified. Do think other agents do this still, but Grok mischaracterizes "done" more right now - browser use and plugin, that's likely in the works - nit: some keybindings and normal tui exps I come to expect with agents is different, will have to test more to see if I like these changes.

5 stars, works great on iPad and android, has codex with linux, themes, backgrounds... and a wild update on the way you don't need to wait for the codex mobile app, kitty is totally free

Codex 0.128.0 is released. Highlights: - Persisted /goal workflows with TUI controls to create, pause, resume, and clear - Permission profiles expanded with built-in defaults; --full-auto deprecated - Plugin workflows: marketplace install, remote bundle caching, remote uninstall Complete details in thread ↓

Codex 0.128.0 is huge, even better than a @thsottiaux reset.
Codex is moving more goal oriented with a new /goal command, think Ralph loop on steroids:
- /goal

Getting a retweet from @gdb is a good time to take a pause and say thanks to all of you! Really proud and appreciate of hitting 1k followers, and an OSS project with 300 ⭐️, crazy. This is my promise to continue to share my best practical tips as we learn and improve together.
