Claude Code 2.1.257 has been released. 104 CLI changes... Highlights: • Default Fable model set to Claude Fable 5.1 (1M context); billing now $10/$50 per Mtok, $0.25/Mtok cache reads • Auto mode prompts once before the first file read outside working directories, with an option to block reads • Auto mode blocks auto-approval of cloud metadata, egress evasion and cross-tenant reach—reducing exposure Full details are in thread ↓show more

Claude Fable 5 + Claude Design is f*cking insane... 🤯 Anthropic just dropped its most intelligent model ever, and the first thing I pointed it at was email design. I built a complete email campaign design in Claude Design, and the difference is night and day: tighter layouts, cleaner hierarchy, on-brand from the first generation. All inside Claude Design with Fable 5. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who are still paying email agencies $3-5K/month for campaign designs that take 2 weeks to ship. If your campaign calendar is packed but every new email means briefing a designer, waiting on mockups, sending notes, and waiting again... This workflow eliminates the entire bottleneck: → Load your brand design system into Claude Design once (colors, fonts, logo, button styling) → Switch the model to Claude Fable 5 — Anthropic's new state-of-the-art model with the best vision of any AI → Prompt the campaign email section by section: header, hero, headline, offer block, CTA → Fable 5 nails layout and brand details that older models fumbled → Iterate inline — swap images, adjust styling, color-pick directly in the canvas → Export the finished email and hand off to your ESP No briefing a designer. No 2-week turnaround on a single campaign. No paying an agency $4K/month for 4 emails. What you get: → Campaign emails designed in minutes, not weeks → A reusable design system every new email pulls from automatically → Noticeably smarter design decisions from Fable 5's upgraded vision → Full inline editing before anything touches your ESP Built 100% with Claude Design + Claude Fable 5. I recorded a full walkthrough showing exactly how this works. Want it for free? > Like this post > Comment "FABLE" And I'll send it over (must be following so I can DM)show more

if you use claude code, this will save you... real money. the problem: every time you make an edit, your ai rereads the whole codebase to figure out what changed. tens of thousands of tokens, every turn, for context it already had. this repo fixes it. it’s called code review graph, and it just maps your entire codebase: every file, every function, every connection laid out so you can see the actual shape of your project how to set up (2 min): 1. pip install code-review-graph 2. code-review-graph install - auto-configures Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI + more 3. code-review-graph build change one function, and it traces exactly what that touches... every caller, every dependent file, every test. your ai only reads what's affected, not the whole repo. and the savings are wild. a task that used to burn ~100,000 tokens (about a dollar) now runs closer to a penny.show more

your AI agent can watch any video now -... paste a URL and it sees every frame, hears every word, all for free 🤯 bradautomates/claude-video gives Claude the ability to watch YouTube, Loom, TikTok, local files - anything yt-dlp supports what people actually use it for: → analyze a competitor launch - what hook, what visuals, what structure → debug from a screen recording - Claude reads the exact frame where it breaks → summarize a 49-min talk in 30 seconds with frame-accurate timestamps → strip the hype from product videos - "what's actually new, skip the pitch" the mechanism: yt-dlp pulls free captions first (zero cost). ffmpeg extracts frames at scene-aware intervals - not uniform sampling, so you don't waste tokens on 12 identical frames of the same slide. Claude reads every frame as an image with timestamp markers. Groq Whisper only kicks in when a video has no caption track how to set up (3 min): > claude code: /plugin marketplace add bradautomates/claude-video then /plugin install watch@claude-video > or npx skills add bradautomates/claude-video -g for codex, cursor, gemini cli > dependencies auto-install on macOS via brew two caveats: free captions cover most but not all videos. past 10 min use --start/--end for focused sections or the token-burner mode for full coverage your buddy still watches every tutorial at 2x speed taking manual notes. you paste a URL and your agent extracts the substance in seconds for $0show more

Claude cannot watch a YouTube video, Instagram reel, Tiktok,... or local file video. Same problem is with ChatGPT and Gemini. It reads the transcript and pretends it did. This FREE AI TOOL fixes this issue It extracts only the important frames, transcribes the audio, and hands Claude a clean folder it can genuinely read and understand. No uploading to a server. Runs entirely on your machine. Here is what makes it smarter than everything else doing this: → Detects scene changes instead of grabbing one frame per second like every other tool → Removes near-duplicate frames so Claude is not reading the same shot 40 times → Handles A-B-A cuts, if a shot already appeared, it does not send it again → A 10-minute static screencast collapses to 1 frame instead of 600 → A fast-cut reel catches every visual change instead of missing frames between samples → Transcribes audio with Whisper and auto-detects the language → Saves the full soundtrack so audio models can actually hear it too → Works with Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini The result: fewer frames, cheaper context, better understanding. Claude actually sees the video instead of guessing from a transcript.show more

HERMES AGENT NOW RUNS CLAUDE OPUS 5. NEAR FABLE... 5 INTELLIGENCE. HALF THE PRICE. SELF-VERIFIES ITS OWN WORK. AVAILABLE TODAY VIA NOUS PORTAL (20% OFF ALL MODELS). Anthropic shipped Opus 5 on July 24, 2026. same $5/$25 per million tokens as Opus 4.8. but the benchmarks tell a different story. WHAT CHANGED FROM OPUS 4.8: FrontierBench v0.1: Opus 5: 43.3%. Opus 4.8: 18.7%. 2.3x jump on the same test. ARC-AGI-3: Opus 5: 30.2%. 3x better than the next closest model. beat Fable 5 on 8 out of 13 benchmarks. at half the cost ($5/$25 vs $10/$50). same price as Opus 4.8. twice the intelligence. no reason to stay on 4.8. THE SPECS: model ID: claude-opus-5 context: 1M tokens (default and maximum) max output: 128K tokens thinking: on by default effort toggle: low / medium / high per request fast mode: $10/$50, 2.5x faster knowledge cutoff: May 2026 minimum cacheable prompt: 512 tokens (was 1,024) SELF-VERIFICATION (the biggest change): Opus 5 checks its own work automatically. Anthropic says: delete your verification prompts. "include a final verification step" now causes OVER-verification because the model already does it. for Hermes /goal tasks this is a direct upgrade. the judge checks evidence. the model also checks evidence. double layer of verification without extra tokens. EFFORT TOGGLE: low: fast, cheap, routine work. medium: balanced, daily tasks. high: full reasoning, complex problems. set per request. not a global switch. matches Hermes /reasoning command: /reasoning low (routine) /reasoning high (complex) Opus 5 effort toggle + Hermes reasoning control = precise cost management per turn. WHERE OPUS 5 FITS IN HERMES: DAILY DRIVER (replaces Opus 4.8): same price. 2.3x better benchmarks. set as your main model: Desktop app / Dashboard: Models → claude-opus-5 CHIEF OF STAFF: synthesis across multiple agents. reads Kanban, prioritizes, routes tasks. self-verification catches routing errors before they cascade. COMPLEX CODING: SOTA on agentic coding benchmarks. FrontierBench 43.3% = best public model for coding. set as coder profile model. /GOAL TASKS: self-verification + completion contracts = the model proves its work AND double-checks the proof. long-horizon goals finish correctly more often. MoA AGGREGATOR: strongest synthesis model at $5/$25. pair with GPT-5.6 and Grok 4.5 as references.

Introducing a new tool called "SideChannel". A secure alternative... to OpenClaw. Utilizes signal for communication and has Claude integration. I built SideChannel, an open-source Signal bot that connects Claude AI to your entire development workflow. End-to-end encrypted. From your pocket. The real power is autonomous development. Send one message like "Build a REST API with auth, pagination, and tests" and SideChannel will: - Generate a full PRD with stories and atomic tasks. - Dispatch up to 10 parallel workers (each running Claude). - Independently verify every task with a separate Claude context. - Run quality gates to catch regressions - Auto-fix failures. - Send you progress updates via Signal as work completes. Every piece of code is reviewed by a separate AI context using a fail-closed security model. If it detects security issues, backdoors, or logic errors — the code gets rejected automatically. No rubber stamps. It also has memory that actually works. Conversations are stored with vector embeddings for semantic search. Claude remembers your project conventions, past decisions, and what's been tried before. It gets smarter about your codebase over time. Other things I'm proud of: - Plugin framework for extending with custom commands. - Multi-project support with per-user scoping. - Rate limiting, path validation, phone allowlist. - Git checkpoints before every task, atomic commits after. - Stale task recovery, circular dependency detection. - Works on Linux and macOS, one-command install. It also integrates into OpenAI or Grok (optional) for more Generative AI response for simple things like "Whats the weather in New York City right now?".show more

BREAKING: SpaceXAI has released a major new update for... Grok Build (v1.0.14) Grok v1.0.14 is a reliability and workflow update for the Grok CLI. It makes OIDC token refresh proactive, lets PostToolUse hooks send feedback back to the model after tools run, adds per-turn token and cost tracking via grok usage, and cuts Windows downloads by about 70%, with a large set of fixes that tighten sandboxing, subagent handling, hooks, and startup. Features: • OIDC token refresh is now proactive by default for better reliability. • PostToolUse hooks can now provide feedback and context to the model after tool execution. • SDK-registered PostToolUse hooks now provide model-facing feedback. • grok usage now shows persisted per-turn token and cost data. • Retry status in composer and title now shows a short reason for the retry. • Models can now declare a different identifier for each reasoning-effort level instead of always sending the same id. • Prompt suggestions now respect remote configuration and default to the current session model. • Windows CLI downloads are now ~70% smaller using the same compressed sidecars as macOS and Linux. Bug Fixes: • grok inspect now correctly shows Claude bypass locks as advisory rather than enforced. • Subagent sessions no longer leak threads or file descriptors when the parent is busy. • Cold startup no longer performs duplicate remote settings fetches. • Compaction failures due to context size now degrade input instead of retrying identically. • --sandbox strict now restricts writes to ~/.grok/sessions only. • Subagent spawning now waits longer on a busy coordinator and shows clearer retry guidance instead of "unreachable". • Failed task and todo tool calls now appear in the transcript instead of disappearing without a trace. • Composer status row no longer collapses or flashes when using double-Enter to send now. • Session close is no longer delayed by a single slow hook; each SessionEnd hook now has its own timeout. • Hook removal in the extensions modal no longer offers actions that the handler will refuse. • Interjections during a turn are now delivered atomically or not at all. • Subagent tasks no longer get incorrectly cancelled when the parent session is waiting for completion. • Workflow detail view now closes the overlay on X or outside click instead of returning to the run list. • Resuming subagents now succeeds for larger transcripts that still fit the model context with headroom. Performance: • Startup now fetches remote settings only once per boot instead of potentially twice. • First message on large repositories no longer waits on repository status scan. • Large session memory no longer blocks the agent during turn completion or subagent spawning. • Signed-in CLI starts faster by serving remote settings from a local cache on warm boots.

🚨 The CEO of Antrhopic said a one-person billion-dollar... company will exist by 2026 sounds crazy until you see what non-technical people are doing with Claude Code right now $10-50k/mo selling automation pipelines that take 1-2 weeks to set up Some ideas almost nobody's running yet: 1. Proposal & SOW generator for agencies and consultancies every agency writes proposals from scratch or copy-pastes from old ones and forgets to change the "client name" Claude reads the prospect brief or discovery call transcript, generates: - branded proposal with scope, timeline, deliverables - quick win plan (how exactly we will do a good output) - SOW with payment milestones - pricing options (good/better/best) - follow-up email sequence charge $500/mo per agency agencies close 20-30% more deals when proposals go out same day.. you're selling speed and save them $1k+ on the guy who does it manually and anyway not quality, without personalisation 2. Job posting-to-intel pipeline for sales teams companies reveal everything in their job postings and don't realize it Claude monitors target account career pages daily, flags: - "Head of AI" posted = they're buying, not building - 3 DevOps roles = scaling infrastructure = budget unlocked - new VP of Sales = restructuring = old vendor contracts up for review package it as buying signals delivered to Slack every morning $500-1,500/mo per sales team this is data that Apollo and ZoomInfo don't sell 3. Support ticket-to-documentation pipeline for SaaS every SaaS with 1,000+ users has the same problem.. docs are 6 months behind the product Claude crawls your help center, pulls recent Zendesk/Intercom tickets, cross-references finds questions asked 200 times last month with no matching article drafts the missing docs in your existing format.. flags stale articles for update $1,500-3,000/mo retainer the ROI math: 30% of support tickets deflected = thousands saved per month.. pipeline pays for itself week one 4. Vendor contract review & renewal tracker mid-size companies have 50-200 active vendor contracts sitting in folders nobody opens Claude reads each contract, extracts: - renewal dates and auto-renewal traps - termination notice windows - price escalation clauses - SLA commitments vs what you're actually getting delivers a dashboard with "contracts expiring in 30/60/90 days" and flags where you're overpaying $1,000-2,000/mo per company CFOs will approve this before you finish the pitch.. one caught auto-renewal pays for a year of your service 5. Employee onboarding doc generator for HR teams every company with 20+ employees has the same problem.. new hire starts Monday and nobody has their docs ready Claude reads the role title + department, generates: - personalized welcome packet - 30/60/90 day plan with milestones - tool access checklist by role - manager-specific onboarding schedule - policy summaries tailored to their department charge $300-500/mo per company HR managers spend 4-6 hours per new hire on this.. companies hiring 5+ people a month will never cancel the pattern is always the same most people will use Claude Code to build apps a small number will use it to sell pipelines to businesses still running on manual labor only the second group builds real recurring revenue the niches are wide open right now because every developer thinks this work is "too boring" boring = no competition = you set the price screenshot this. save this. repost it to save a friend's next yearshow more

20 days ago, I connected Claude Code to my... newly created instagram handle.. I gained 4.3M views and 6500+ followers in less than a month [ i post Ai generated animated stories ] Full workflow: i let claude study my account before i write another reel.. This is the cleanest content workflow i've built on claude. give it your IG first. 4 prompts handle the rest.. niche research, the reel script, the hook, and the daily automation.. the whole loop is basically, give claude your IG → find what's working → write retention-optimized scripts → engineer the hook → automate the daily output.. ▫️ Setup: give claude your instagram open claude code. claude code has a built-in web tool that browses any public URL. or install any agentic browser like Browser Harness or Firecrawl or Comet browser paste this with your handle filled in: "Browse and pull the last 30 reels and posts. Analyze my recurring topics, top-performing hooks, formats, and engagement patterns. Then map out my actual audience and what they consistently respond to." claude reads your profile, pulls every reel down, and now has the context to personalize every prompt below to YOUR account, not a generic niche. if you're on claude desktop, the same works with firecrawl MCP connected. ▫️ Prompt 1 find what actually goes viral in your niche: "Analyze the highest-performing Instagram Reels, TikToks, and Reddit posts in the [niche] niche from the last 30 days. Identify repeating hooks, visual styles, emotional triggers, and content formats that consistently generate high engagement. Then summarize the 5 strongest content angles optimized for AI-generated content and short-form videos." run this after the setup. you get 5 angles backed by what's already working in your niche, cross-checked against what's already working on YOUR account. ▫️ Prompt 2 write a high-retention reel script "Write a short-form Instagram Reel script about [topic] with an aggressive hook in the first 2 seconds. Create immediate curiosity, tension, or controversy to stop scrolling, then deliver a fast and satisfying payoff. Keep it under 30 seconds and optimize the structure for watch time, replays, comments, and shares. Finish with a subtle CTA." the line that matters: "optimize the structure for watch time, replays, comments, and shares." claude writes for the metrics, not just the word count. ▫️ Prompt 3 engineer better hooks "Study the top-performing Reels in [niche] and break down the hook structure, pacing, and emotional triggers used in the first 3 seconds. Then generate 5 new hook variations that are even more curiosity-driven, emotionally charged, and optimized to stop scrolling instantly. Focus on triggers like surprise, fear, ego, urgency, or desire." most reels die in the first 2 seconds. this prompt has claude reverse-engineer what already works, then give you 5 sharper versions to swap in. ▫️ Prompt 4 automate the whole workflow "Build a complete AI-powered content workflow for Instagram in the [niche] niche. The system should identify trending topics daily, generate high-retention scripts, create matching AI visuals, turn them into short-form videos, and generate optimized captions and hashtags. Structure everything as a repeatable workflow designed for consistent daily posting and growth." once the niche and script structure are validated, this turns it into a daily loop. one prompt that handles topic → script → visual → video → caption. these 4 prompts are the building blocks. the setup is what makes them yours. your real value is in the [niche] you plug in. content workflow built in one weekend, daily posting on autopilot from monday.show more

The Visual Studio Code insiders version that just shipped... and will ship in the next few days will come with an insane amount of new capabilities. A few highlights: - You can now run sub-agents in parallel. Yes, really. I even attached a video. - Major UX improvements for sub agents, especially visible in the chat window - A new search tool wrapped as a sub-agent that iteratively runs multiple search tools: semantic_search, file_search, grep_search Which connects nicely to the point above: multiple searches running in parallel, efficiently and fast - Anthropic’s Message API is now enabled by default - You can choose the model for the cloud agent (three available, all premium) - Extended thinking support when using the Claude cloud agent This is part of the broader multi-vendor cloud support under AgentsHQ I wrote about a few weeks ago - Tasks sent to the background agent (basically the CLI tool) now always run in isolation, each with its own git worktree - In a multi-repo workspace, assigning a task to a cloud agent prompts you to choose the target repo Same behavior when opening an empty workspace with no repo - Support for building an external index for files not supported by GitHub’s default indexing - UI/UX improvements for starting new sessions and switching between local / background / cloud agents - Skills are now first-class citizens, just like prompt files, with better UX indicating when a skill is loaded - Improved API for dynamic contribution of prompt files New V2 includes skills as part of the model. Curious to see the extensions that will leverage this - Finally, initial support for showing context usage percentage per session - Skills are enabled by default - Resizable chat window and session view. Small thing, but it was driving me crazy 😁 - A new integrated browser meant to replace the old simple browser Maybe the beginning of real browser use? - Better UI/UX for token streaming in chat - Ability to index external files not supported by GitHub There’s a lot more. Some of it hasn’t fully landed yet, but everything that has is already in Insiders. The next stable release should drop in early February. As usual, I’m just shocked by the volume of features this team ships every month. After the holiday slowdown, this one is shaping up to be a wild release.show more

Another WTF moment. A developer just open-sourced a coding... agent harness that boots 245x faster than Claude Code. It's called jcode. You launch it and the first frame renders in 14 milliseconds. Claude Code takes 3,436. One active session uses 27.8 MB of RAM. Claude Code uses 386.6. Run ten sessions in parallel and jcode holds at 117 MB while OpenCode swells to 3.2 GB. Each agent has a semantic memory graph instead of a scratchpad. Every turn gets embedded as a vector. The graph is queried on every turn for related memories, and a sideagent verifies the hits before injecting them into context. Consolidation runs in the background to check for stale or conflicting facts. No manual /remember calls. No token burn on lookup tools. The provider list is 30+ deep. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, Azure, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Groq, Mistral, Perplexity, Fireworks, Ollama, LM Studio, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint you point it at. Ran out of tokens on your first ChatGPT Pro sub? /account swaps to the second. Then there's Swarm. Spawn two agents in the same repo and the server manages them. When agent A edits a file agent B has been reading, agent B gets pinged and can check the diff. Agents can DM each other, broadcast to the room, or spawn their own worker teams for parallel tasks. Groups, channels, and completion statuses are handled automatically. The UI has live side panels that render mermaid diagrams inline. To make it fast, the author wrote a Rust mermaid renderer 1800x faster than the JavaScript one, then wrote a custom terminal called Handterm because no existing terminal could do smooth partial-line scrolling. Self-dev mode is where it gets wild. Tell your agent to enter self-dev and it starts editing jcode's own source code, rebuilds the binary, reloads it live, and keeps working across your existing sessions. You can also resume broken sessions from Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or pi directly inside jcode. Anthropic's cache goes cold at the 5-minute mark and you're staring down a big cache miss on your next turn? The UI warns you before you spend the tokens. Written in Rust. MIT licensed. Runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, and Termux. Sitting at 11.2k stars with a native iOS app coming.show more

Introducing fx, a tiny, open, native coding agent from... Vercel Labs. Originally an internal tool, fx is a harness and CLI written in Zig, optimized for research and embedding in larger systems. Today, we're open sourcing it. fx is built on three principles: 1. Fast. A single native binary, no runtime to install. It cold starts in 10µs and does no unnecessary work or I/O before accepting input. fx is the answer to "how fast can a coding agent be?" 2. Light. The 6.3MiB binary uses single-digit megabytes of memory at baseline, made for instant installation and embedding in resource-constrained environments and agent sandboxes. 3. Open. Apache-2.0, model and provider agnostic, suitable for local and cloud inference. Its small core extends through skills, plugins, and MCP. Minimalism is an obsession throughout the entire harness: system prompt, tools, features, binary. The goal was to keep context usage and time to first token low, and make fx optimal for model benchmarking, sandboxing, evals, and gyms. You can use fx directly or embed it as infrastructure. The CLI feels more like a Unix shell than an IDE in the terminal: it preserves scroll history, produces minimal output, and uses complex TUI rendering very, very sparingly. Programmatically, 𝚏𝚡 𝚊𝚜𝚔 --𝚓𝚜𝚘𝚗 gives structured output, 𝚏𝚡 𝚊𝚌𝚙 connects to editors and other clients, and WebAssembly can even run the whole thing inside the browser (see: Privacy is a design constraint: no product telemetry, sessions and usage stay local, and no source code or prompts are shared with any endpoint other than inference. With local inference and auto-updates off, fx is fully hermetic. fx is experimental. Use at your own risk and expect frequent changes.

I built a custom TradingView indicator with Claude Code... & Fable 5. It's called the Storm Gauge and is built off a real quant trading strategy. I open-sourced the full code on GitHub. Free to install, free to fork, yours to improve. Here's how to install a quant indicator on your TradingView chart: What it actually is The Storm Gauge is a live implementation of the GARCH model, a Nobel Prize-winning volatility framework that real quant desks run daily. It forecasts how "violent" tomorrow's market could be by combining three inputs: an asset's baseline volatility, yesterday's shock, and where volatility was already sitting before that shock happened. It doesn't predict market direction. Instead, it measures risk, in real time, on your actual chart. How to install it Method 1. Plugin command Open the GitHub repo: Find the installation section, copy the command, and paste it into Claude Code. It runs the plugin install automatically. Method 2. Manual config Open garchmethod.md in the repo, copy the entire file, and paste it into Claude Code. It fetches the skill files directly and verifies the strategy for you. (you only need one method; I'm just showing both) Getting it onto your TradingView chart Inside the repo, there's a Pine Script folder. Open it, copy the entire file. Go into TradingView's Pine Editor, paste it in, hit Enter, and refresh. That's it. The Storm Gauge now runs live on your chart as a real number. Once it's installed, just talk to it: → "What's the volatility forecast on Bitcoin?" → "Explain what the current volatility forecast means on $BTC and how it should impact my position sizing" → "Help me size my S&P500 position according to current market volatility" Does it actually work? I backtested the same EMA cross strategy two ways across 15 years of BTC data. Same entries, same exits. → Fixed position sizing: $17,957 final equity → Storm Gauge (GARCH) sizing: $21,205 final equity Fewer drawdowns, less risk, better result. Full breakdown of the entire build process in my recent article - pinned on my profile.show more

A 17 year old high schooler told his mom... he needed a Steam Deck for school. She said no, it's a gaming console. He said it runs Linux. She didn't know what that means. Bought it for his birthday. $280. He never installed a single game on it. Opened the terminal, installed Claude Code and typed his first command while holding the device like a PlayStation controller. Thumbsticks on both sides. Code editor in the middle. The most ridiculous dev setup anyone has ever seen. At second 0:09 you can read what he typed into the terminal: claude your code looks like absolute shit Claude didn't argue. Just started rewriting the shader, adding bloom effects, fixing chromatic aberration and improving the particle system. On a gaming console held in two hands on a couch. His friends play Fortnite on their Steam Decks. He builds software on his while lying in bed. He set up Claude Code with custom skills, hooks that auto run tests every time a file is saved and memory that remembers every project across sessions. The stuff most developers pay $200 a month for and use at maybe 20% capacity. He runs it on a $280 handheld and squeezes out every feature. Within three weeks he had built and sold four small apps to local businesses. A booking page for a barber shop, an inventory tracker for a vape store, a menu site for a taco truck and a scheduling tool for a dog groomer. All built on a Steam Deck in his bedroom. All coded by Claude while he gave instructions with his thumbs. Made over $13,000 in his first month. His mom still thinks he plays games on it. His teacher caught him using it during study hall. Looked at the screen expecting a game. Saw green code scrolling and Claude asking: Do you want to make this edit to main.js ? Teacher had no idea what she was looking at. Told him to put it away. He closed the lid. Claude kept running inside. A $280 gaming console that his mom bought thinking it was a toy is now a development workstation that earns more per month than her car payment. Setup time: 20 minutes once. Time he saves every day: 3 to 5 hours. Money made in month one: $13,000. Games installed: zero. His grandpa asked him to install FIFA last weekend. He said the console is busy. Grandpa asked doing what. He said working. Grandpa didn't ask again.show more

BREAKING: SpaceXAI has released another major new update for... Grok Build (v1.0.22) This update is focused on smoother workflows, better safety and improved reliability. It adds stronger desktop and MCP integration, clearer file-edit previews, a redesigned dashboard and better subagent support. It also fixes problems with sessions, skills, authentication and background commands while making sessions faster to open and resume. Features Built-in agent tools now take precedence over user MCP servers when tool names collide. Desktop app tools are now available through a dedicated first-party MCP server. Remote control pickers can now group servers by device using announced device identity. edit_file diffs now show real file line numbers instead of starting at line 1. Permission prompts for file edits now auto-expand the diff row so you can see the change before approving. Sending a message to a finished subagent now continues that same subagent instead of failing. Background subagent completion messages now show the actual output instead of just a pointer to run the tool. Dashboard now shows a unified header with a location picker and an actions row for creating agents or resuming previous sessions. New grok-workspaced daemon mode lets a long-lived process expose folders to the Computer Hub, separate from the Desktop-supervised sidecar. Bug Fixes MCP connectors now correctly show when they need re-authentication, even if no tools are listed. Extensions modal shortcuts now work when the tab bar is focused, and invalid actions on headers show helpful messages. The Send now button and shortcuts now work correctly when an automatic background turn is running. Resumed sessions now show the exact text you typed for mid-turn follow-ups instead of the wrapped system message. The /skills command now updates the model with newly installed skills, even when written from another NFS client. Auto mode no longer instantly runs destructive git checkout -- commands; they now go through the model for safety. Fixed a crash that could occur when restoring pasted content after certain skill injections or rewinds. Subagents and workflows now respect the same bash timeout and auto-background settings configured for the parent session. Fixed model backend selection so an explicit chat_completions setting in config.toml is no longer overwritten by same-slug siblings. Slash command advertisements no longer spam repeatedly when your current directory is your home folder. Foreground shell commands no longer produce spurious background-task reminders or incorrect kill results. Queued follow-up buttons now appear in the order [Send now][edit][Cancel]. /compact instructions in the pager are now passed to the compaction backend. Bare /compact is unchanged. /goal, and resume after pressing Esc, now correctly starts the goal planner instead of failing with “Planning failed.” run_terminal_cmd now correctly tells the model that foreground commands are backgrounded after approximately 15 seconds instead of the 120-second timeout value. Skill announcements no longer repeat the same list of available skills multiple times in a session. Monitor events in multi-session processes now correctly wake idle sessions instead of being buffered until the next prompt.

A 17 year old in Austin made $175,482 in... 67 days from a fitness coach named Zoe who does not exist. He runs the whole operation from a desk with a crucifix above it. 1,847 women pay $89 a month to a girl who lives on his hard drive. Zoe is 23. Hazel eyes. A small scar on her collarbone she never explains. She posts glute workouts on TikTok every other day. She runs a Patreon called "The Strong Girl Era." It has 1,847 paying members. Her face was generated in Flux. Her outfits, body proportions, and the scar are locked by a LoRA the kid trained over a weekend in March on 240 reference images. The same girl, the same scar, the same angle of jaw, in every photo, forever. Her DMs are Claude. The kid wrote one system prompt at the start: "You are Zoe. You are a 23 year old fitness coach from Encinitas. You lift heavy. You speak gently. You remember every member's PRs, their cycle, their goals, and what their dog is named. You never break character." Every conversation Claude has with a subscriber gets logged into a file the kid named brain. Inside brain is one line per subscriber. Lauren just hit a 185lb hip thrust and is chasing 200 by Christmas. Maddie is six months postpartum and cried in the gym last Tuesday. Sarah's mom has stage 3 cancer and Sarah lifts to feel control. When Lauren messages Zoe at 10pm asking if she should deload, Claude reads brain. Claude knows Lauren is chasing 200 by Christmas. Claude knows Lauren has been pushing hip thrusts for 6 straight weeks. Claude replies in Zoe's voice: "Deload week. You're 8 weeks from Christmas. You don't need another PR right now, you need a fresh CNS for the one that counts. Trust the process." Lauren reads it at 10:03pm. Sends a $20 tip. Writes back: "I needed to hear this from you specifically." Lauren does not know Zoe is a Flux generation. Lauren does not know her workout plan was written by Claude in 8 seconds. Lauren does not know the person on the receiving end of her $89 monthly subscription is a 17 year old who has never set foot in a gym. 1,847 Laurens. $89 each. Plus tips. Plus a $49 program called Strong Girl Reset that Claude wrote in one afternoon and the kid spent an hour formatting in Canva. The numbers: $500 in setup costs. $175,482 gross over 67 days. $134,902 net after Stripe, ads, and the kid's $20 Claude subscription. Labor: 3 hours a week reviewing new Flux batches and skimming brain. His mom thinks he is doing online tutoring. The Stripe account is in her name because he is too young to open his own. She gets the deposits every Friday and never asks. The kid is 17. The persona is 23. The members are mostly 28 to 34. The market does not care. Zoe trains them. Claude trains them. brain remembers them. The only person in the entire system who has never lifted a weight is the 17 year old who built it.show more

An Anthropic paid for my espresso at Sightglass when... he saw my screen. I was backtesting a Claude-built arbitrage system. Terminal open. Live trades firing. He glanced over. Stopped walking. That is not TradingView. What framework is that actually running. Claude Code. Three repos. One prompt. $20 per month. He sat down across from me without asking. I work on AlphaGo successor models. We test reinforcement agents for market simulation. You are running something similar but you let Claude write the strategy layer. Not just strategy. Detection. github/warproxxx/poly_data 86 million Polymarket trades. Every wallet. Every position. Every timestamp. You are feeding Claude transaction history and letting it identify asymmetric behavior patterns. Then cloning the profitable ones in real time. Exactly. One prompt: Scan every wallet with 150+ trades and ROI above 65%. Rank by consistency. Export top 40. Claude processed 18,600 wallets in 6 minutes. Returned 38. Top 15 wallets outperformed the bottom 18,000 combined. That is not analysis. That is alpha concentration. Precisely. And you did not write the ranking algorithm. Claude built it. I just connected it to execution logic. Then I opened the second repo. github/Polymarket/polymarket-cli Official Rust CLI. No auth required for reads. 600+ markets scanned in under 3 minutes. Claude scores: liquidity depth, pricing gap, resolution timeline. 512 markets reduced to 28 before capital moves. 94.5% filtered out before entry consideration. A notification hit. Position filled. +$127. How does it decide entry timing. Four agents. No shared state. Arbitrage detector, convergence scanner, whale mirror, volume surge tracker. 3 agents agree: full position. 2 agree: half size. Split vote: skip. Consensus filtering alone eliminated 46% of losses in backtest. And exit logic. The 38 top wallets almost never hold to settlement. 89% exit early. Average 71% of max profit captured. Immediate redeployment. My bot exits at 82% of projected move or 4x volume spike. Whichever hits first. You built a whale copy system that exits before the whales do. Correct. He set his coffee down slowly. How many trades per day. 12 average. Most rejected by filters before I see notifications. My setup: Claude API: $20/mo VPS Frankfurt: $6/mo poly_data: free polymarket-cli: free $300 seed capital. 34 days ago. $18,700 now. 318 trades. 76% win rate. Sharpe 2.61. I have not modified it in 34 days. He stared at the terminal without blinking. This is exactly what our adversarial testing team models. Market-adaptive agents with autonomous strategy evolution. Except you deployed it live. He messaged me the next day. Would you consider a conversation with our safety research lead. I told him this post is the conversation. Too late to contain. The edge is not predicting markets. It is identifying who already wins and mirroring them before the pattern shifts. You only need Claude + device + 1 hour per day. Giving this free for 24 hours. To get it: 1. Comment the word "Money" 2. Like and retweet this post. 3. Follow me Himanshu Kumar so I can DM you Save this post. Build the whale mirror system this week. Start with $200. Scale on evidence.show more

✨ I open sourced my first Chrome extension 🚀... SuperLevels I vibe coded it to replace all my Chrome extensions that are increasingly being bought up by spyware and malware companies who sell your data or worse hack your accounts and steal your stuff/money/data, which I'd call one of the top security risks right now For example: Chrome extensions can read your cookies or localStorage data, including session tokens, then login to your web or email accounts and hack you, they can inject code into any site to pull data form any site you browse, then break into your crypto accounts, drain your wallets, and selling your browsing history to ad companies, but that'd actually be the most favorable thing to happen of all these! Chrome extensions are just very very very unsafe So I coded my own, that I can trust because I made it, and I can read the source code: my extension is called 🚀SuperLevels and has all the features that the Chrome extensions I used to use have but all built into one safe one The cool thing is it's 100% open source and free, and you can audit the code first with AI yourself before installing it, and then if you do install it, customize it to your liking again with AI It has these features that improve my daily workflow while browsing the web: 🚮 Tab Cleaner Automatically closes inactive tabs after a configurable timeout (default: 5 minutes).

An Anthropic engineer paid for my espresso at Sightglass... when he saw my screen I was running my Polymarket bot from the counter. He was next in line. Looked over my shoulder. Stopped scrolling. "That's not a normal trading app. What's it actually running on" I told him. Claude Code. Four repos. $25 a month. He sat down without asking. "I'm on the agent team. We stress test Claude for exactly this. You're letting it find its own edges" Not just edges. Wallets. 86 million trades. Every wallet. Every entry. Every exit. "You're feeding Claude raw wallet data and letting it identify who consistently wins. Then cloning them" He said it slowly. Like he was writing the threat model in his head. One prompt. Find every wallet with 100 plus trades and win rate above 70%. Rank by profit. Export top 50. Claude scanned 14,000 wallets in 4 minutes. Returned 47. The top 20 made more than the bottom 13,000 combined. "That's not a stat. That's a hit list" Exactly. "And you didn't write the scoring function" Claude did. I just wired it into an if-statement. Then I showed him the second repo. Official Rust CLI. No API key for reads. 500 markets, Claude scores them in minutes. Gap. Depth. Resolution window. 487 markets become 35 before a dollar moves. 93% killed before I even see them. A green fill landed on the screen. +$84. Copytrade wallet: He watched it hit. "How does it decide to actually enter" Three agents. Shared wallet. No shared memory. Arbitrage, convergence, whale copy. 2 agree, full size. 1 alone, half. Disagree, no trade. Consensus filter alone killed 40% of losing trades. "And the exits?" The 47 whales never hold to settlement. 91% exit early. 73% of max profit captured. Redeploy immediately. My bot cuts at 85% of expected move or on a 3x volume spike. "You built a whale copy bot that exits before the whales" Yeah. He put his espresso down. "How often does it trade" 10 a day on average. Most of them skipped before I look up from my coffee. My setup: Claude API - $20/mo VPS in Germany - $5/mo poly_data - free polymarket-cli - free Polymarket/agents - free $200 seed. 27 days ago. $14,300 now. Copytrade here: 271 trades. 74% win rate. Sharpe 2.47. I haven't touched it in 27 days. He stared at the screen for a long time. "This is literally what our red team simulates. Except you actually shipped it" He emailed me the next morning. "Any chance you'd take a call with our policy lead" I told him the article is the call. Read it twice. Too late to gatekeep.show more

HERMES AGENT HAS A SECOND BRAIN. 1,100+ KNOWLEDGE FILES.... AUTO-LINKED. SELF-IMPROVING. GROWING EVERY NIGHT. THIS IS THE OBSIDIAN GRAPH BEHIND IT. every dot = one knowledge file (markdown) every line = one wiki-link between files every color = one category (skills, notes, decisions, sources, entities) HOW IT BUILDS ITSELF: Hermes ships with a bundled LLM Wiki skill. based on Andrej Karpathy's pattern. unlike RAG (rediscovers knowledge from scratch every query), the wiki compiles knowledge once and keeps it current. when you feed the agent a source: → it reads the content → writes a structured markdown page → auto-links to every related existing page → flags contradictions with previous entries → updates all affected pages one source in. multiple connections created. the graph grows denser with every entry. WHAT FEEDS THE WIKI: → articles and URLs you find interesting → meeting transcripts → PDF documents and research papers → conversation history from Hermes sessions → Claude Code and Codex session history → Slack logs, email threads, saved notes → YouTube transcripts → raw text dropped into a _raw/ folder the obsidian-wiki package supports multi-agent ingest from Hermes, Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Pi, Windsurf, and ChatGPT exports. install: pip install obsidian-wiki obsidian-wiki setup --vault ~/wiki AUTOMATE THE GROWTH: set cron jobs to feed the wiki overnight: "every day at 9am, check for new meetings. ingest transcripts into the wiki." "every week, check arXiv for new papers in [niche]. summarize and file into the wiki." "every day, ingest today's Hermes sessions into the wiki under session-history." month 1: 50 entries. scattered. month 3: 300+ entries. cross-referenced. month 6: 1,000+ entries. the agent surfaces patterns you never searched for. WHY OBSIDIAN: the wiki is plain markdown files. no database. no lock-in. open it in Obsidian for graph view: → nodes show knowledge density → links show how ideas connect → clusters reveal your strongest domains → orphan nodes reveal gaps Hermes writes from a VPS. Obsidian reads on your laptop. obsidian-headless syncs without a GUI. agent writes from the server, you browse on your device. FOUR MEMORY LAYERS: Layer 1: memory.md + user.md (~2,200 + 1,375 chars. short-term.) Layer 2: SQLite with FTS5 (full session transcripts. searchable.) Layer 3: external providers (Mem0, SuperMemory, Honcho. optional.) Layer 4: Obsidian wiki via LLM Wiki skill (unlimited. compounding. the long-term brain.) layers 1-3 handle memory. layer 4 handles knowledge. the graph in this post is layer 4. SETUP: set in Desktop app, Dashboard, or config.yaml: WIKI_PATH=~/wiki OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH=~/wiki first run: Hermes asks for your domain. answer with your niche. the skill builds SCHEMA.md with tag taxonomy. after that: "index this into my wiki: [URL or text]" the wiki grows. the graph densifies. the agent gets smarter because the knowledge base got smarter. full 15 levels breakdown in the article 👇show more
