@perplexity_ai How is the better than the 50 other projects with thousands of github stars that do memory?

Introducing Brain in Computer. Brain is a continuously learning memory system. Every task on Computer plugs into a context graph built by Brain. It makes Computer more stateful with every run. Available as a research preview for all Perplexity Max subscribers.

@nate_schnell_ @steipete @bcherny I already made my point... That it's a great way to get hacked. Was that not obvious? Success has nothing to do with security.

@AllTheTokens @steipete @bcherny What’s your point? Pete and many others are building wildly successful products using automated development.

What are the best use cases for loops? I’ve heard a ton of people like @bcherny and @steipete talking about how everything’s a loop, but I haven’t found a good use case for it beyond upgrading dependencies.

@LLMJunky If this happens (and it probably will) it's game over for humanity.

@LanaElys This is just proof that smart people can be dumb, too.

They’re claiming that you have a system, you can ask it any question, and without understanding the question, it can give you the correct answer. That’s absurd. You can’t answer a question unless you understand the question.

@nate_schnell_ @steipete @bcherny That's cool, but I can promise you that no one is manually reviewing the PR's either.

@AllTheTokens @steipete @bcherny @steipete said that anything done sits in a PR so it doesn’t automatically get to production

@AndyMasley Aren't jokes supposed to be funny?

(To be clear this is a joke and I don't know what this means for other models)

The White House imposes an indefinite pause on frontier AI deployment

@DonvitoAI How else would they keep this press cycle rolling? They'll keep it there for months.

can Anthropic just remove this Fable 5 not available message it's annoying when I see it every time I use Claude if you're not putting it back, might as well remove it in the chat box

@_arzhk @jonathan_wilke I use Linux and Codex.

@AllTheTokens @jonathan_wilke Take a look at Noml, I built it for this exact purpose noml.app

I don't get the hype around CLI coding tools like Claude Code. Human-computer interaction evolved past the terminal 30 years ago for a reason. UIs won. Why are we regressing?

@Presidentlin "The government is asking the impossible of Anthropic." We know, that's why it's funny. They dug themselves a hole, now they live in it.

You guys have no idea how happy it makes me that most people think this is anthropic fault. "Guys, give the government what it wants, god! Dario can be such an ass" The government is asking the impossible of Anthropic. The version of Fable that will be released will be even more locked down. Which will feed more into the narrative that Anthropic is at fault. There's a version where they can make a new tier for trusted fable users (Trump-approved), make it super expensive and require some clearance. That ticks the Claudesceps desire for this to be a win. Trump can make a few coins from the deal. Win win.

@steipete @nate_schnell_ @bcherny Sounds like a great way to get hacked.

@nate_schnell_ @bcherny If you make an issue on one of our open source projects, an agent will spin up and decide if it's a good idea and will implement it for you.

Is this a joke? Because I don't understand anymore

@ZackKorman Dario is such a wimp.

More of you need to read Dario's writing before you go to bat for Anthropic. The dude doesn't want you to have the best AI models.

@NoamShazeer Congrats Noam. Please be an advocate for open source!

I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining OpenAI and look forward to working with the exceptional team there. It was a difficult decision to move on. I’m incredibly proud of the amazing team at Google and everything we’ve built together. It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with all of you.

@jdegoes @tusharmath Agreed. I haven't manually edited code in like 6 months.

@tusharmath The IDE is dead.

# Desktop Apps Are the Wrong Interface for Coding Agents The new trend in coding agents is to build a desktop application. I think this will become obsolete faster than almost anything else in developer tooling. The reason is simple: a desktop app for a coding agent is almost always a worse IDE. Developers already live inside IDEs. IDEs have years of accumulated capability: code navigation, refactoring, debugging, terminals, search, source control, settings, keybindings, themes, language servers, and muscle memory. But perhaps the most important thing they have is the ecosystem of extensions. A new desktop app has to recreate all of this, and it almost never can. So the user is asked to leave a powerful environment and move into a weaker one, just to use an agent. That is a bad trade. The main reason this trade exists is because of TUIs. TUIs were always an imperfect interface for coding agents. In some ways, they are an ironic way to interact with a modern software system. They do not have native scrolling. Styling is limited. Rich layouts are hard. It is difficult to add visual detail without the whole thing becoming clumsy. But TUIs had one important advantage: they ran inside the IDE. That mattered more than almost everything else. As a developer, I could still see the code. I could see the files changing. I could use my editor, my shortcuts, my extensions, my terminal, my source control, and my existing mental model of the project. The agent was not asking me to move somewhere else. It was sitting inside the place where I already worked. Desktop apps break that workflow. They try to solve the limitations of TUIs by creating a richer interface, but in doing so they leave the IDE behind. The result is often a more polished surface-level product, but a worse developer experience overall. It feels better in a demo, but worse in the actual loop of coding. Most capabilities that make a coding agent useful can be added to the IDE itself. Maybe not perfectly. Maybe the integration is not first-class at the beginning. But even a rough integration inside the IDE is often better than a polished standalone app outside it, because it fits into the developer’s existing workflow. For agentic coding, I think the better interface is much simpler: a shell-based tool that runs inside the IDE terminal. Something like ForgeCode. It does not try to replace the IDE. It sits where developers already work. It can read the repository, make changes, run commands, open diffs, and stay close to the code without asking the user to switch contexts. That feels like the right abstraction. The IDE remains the place where code is understood and edited. The agent becomes a powerful process inside that environment, not a separate application competing with it. For everything else, the right interfaces are probably web and mobile. A web app is useful for reviewing work, managing tasks, looking at runs, sharing context, collaborating with teammates, and operating across machines. A mobile app is useful because agents change the relationship between developer and computer. If the agent can keep working asynchronously, the user should be able to review, approve, reject, redirect, or comment from anywhere. But the desktop app sits in an awkward middle. It is not as capable as the IDE, not as accessible as the web, and not as convenient as mobile. It tries to become the developer’s new home, but developers already have one. The future of coding agents is not a new desktop IDE-lite. It is agents embedded into the places developers already are: the IDE terminal for active work, the web for coordination, and mobile for supervision. The winning product will not ask developers to move into a worse environment. It will meet them where they already work.

Calling all Linux users of Codex. If you want Codex App to appear on Linux, you need to sign up for the waitlist here to show there is demand: openai.com/form/codex-app/ - Otherwise, we're going to be waiting until Christmas.

@thsottiaux Where do I see the resets? I use Codex CLI... I don't see anything about a reset token?

Dearest gentle codexer. We did a sneaky double reset. Not only do you get a full reset on us. But you are also getting one into the reset bank to use at your own leisure. Enjoy

@jdegoes @vercel Vercel seems like it's often an innovator. agent-browser is quite good too, and skills.sh is handy.

Whether they like it or not, every developer should be paying attention to OSS coming out of @vercel. I might quibble with a few choices here or there, but Eve looks like a strong entry to the opinionated agent framework space.

@BeauJohnson89 Because Claude is painful to use. It's slow as hell and tries to be too smart. I'd much rather use GPT 5.5 with a good pipeline.

@AllTheTokens why not?

mark my words claude FABLE is coming back it will be available to everyone worldwide it will be available on a new subscription tier ($1000/mo) MASSIVE volume on polymarket is a good indicator its not a matter of IF but WHEN you better be ready with this hits opus 4.8 is great but nothing like fable

@vonderleyen Leave the technology decisions to people who are technology literate.

Important G7 session on AI. AI is developing exponentially. It is the most important technology of our time. It comes with immense potential, but also risks for free, democratic societies. I believe Europe and the US should work together on AI. Together, we represent 70% of the world market. We have complementary strengths, shared security interests, and a common responsibility to lead. So we should deepen our cooperation. Invest together. Accelerate adoption everywhere, from industry to healthcare. And ensure that the most powerful models are trustworthy and safe.
