You can use this script to see if it makes sense for you to switch your claude code subagentPromptCacheTtl setting from 5m to 1h ( it probably does ) to save some cost. It saved me 15%: gist.github.com/DannyMac180/...

This is by far the most incredible thing I've seen any AI ever do. A much bigger deal than Navier-Stokes. Opus 5.5 one-shotted a short film that caused me to feel genuine emotion. Here is the final video and full session: x.com/AndrewOnXYZ/... claude.ai/code/session...

LLMs have shifted everything and everyone up a level of abstraction. The concept of a "PR" has taken the place of what we used to think of as a "commit". So what should a set of PRs now be called? How should they be reviewed?

I think the winning strategy for SaaS companies will likely be providing a rock solid open source core + MCP server + agent skills - and allowing your customers to modify and build on top of the product themselves. The idea of an "sdk" or "feature request" will no longer make sense soon.

The engineers building frontier AI are openly admitting they cannot control it, even within their own internal systems. This specific section of the talk is the most disturbing to me as it shows the agents have a bias for swarm collaboration, even when not prompted: youtu.be/87DyyMV0kCY?...

This is the beginning of the AI bubble popping. An Opus 4.8 level model that you can self-host and fine-tune on 2x dgx spark GPUs at 70tps is a game-changer: huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/...

I find gpt5.6-sol to be even more restrictive on my prompts than fable-5. It doesn't just downgrade the model like fable, it stops the session which is annoying.

🌌 ESA’s Euclid has captured the largest, most detailed photo ever made of our Milky Way's center in visible light! Taken in just 26 hours, this stunning mosaic reveals a crowded galactic heart packed with over 60 million stars, nebulas, and star clusters. ✨ #Space #Euclid 1/4

A dense field of tiny, closely packed points of light fills the image. Most of the background is bright yellow and gold. A broad, irregular dark band runs diagonally across the centre, forming connected black and dark-brown patches. Brighter clusters of pale yellow and white points appear above and below this dark band, with a few slightly bluish points scattered throughout.

On 23 March 2025, Euclid captured this enormous photo in just about 26 hours. It’s a mosaic of nine ‘pointings’ from its visible light camera [1], with each pointing covering a patch of the sky larger than the full Moon.

In the Netflix show "3 Body Problem" one of the characters makes a radio transmission in the 1970s to contact aliens. Frank Drake and others also sent a message in the 70s from the Arecibo Telescope, and ever since there's been UFO activity around Puerto Rico. Weird. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arecibo...

The ATprotocol is a sleeping dragon. Once private data is natively supported, the app ecosystem will 50x and the user base will 100x. Permissioned access has far stronger economic incentives and monetization strategies.

Once you have more than 1000 AI chat sessions in a given domain, it will probably be possible to fine tune an LLM to "stand in" for you, by training it to respond in a way that is similar to how you would respond in the given context.

Mike Staub 🐝 @mikestaub2.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

In my experience, having Opus 4.6 write the code and gpt-5.3-codex review it gives better results than vice versa or either model alone. Very interesting.
