Codex cooked for 12 hours 19 minutes last night... using a /goal 🎉 It added: - Stopwatch (count up) - Clock (with seconds) - Pomodoro - Tabata - Autocomplete Everything worked except the UI interactions around auto-complete (Codex GPT-5.5 is still not great at UI, but even Claude Opus 4.8 Ultracode struggled here). Overall, I'm really happy with the results. These are features that I've wanted for a while, and getting them close to release is awesome.show more

BREAKING: Anthropic just dropped Opus 4.8—and it is a... MONSTER We've been testing for about a week Every 📧 and our verdict is they could've just called it Opus 5, it's that good. Here's our vibe check: - Beats GPT-5.5 on Senior Engineer bench. On our toughest benchmark Opus 4.8 scores a 63—a hair higher than GPT-5.5's score of 62, and a full 30 points higher than Opus 4.7. It tackled a ground-up rewrite of a production codebase, and actually built something that works. HOWEVER: Coding performance varied a lot at different reasoning levels. We recommend using it on xhigh for best results. - Incredibly good writer. Opus 4.8 scored a 79.6 on our writing benchmark—measuring models on real-world writing tasks we do all of the time like essay writing, promo email writing, and more. It beats GPT-5.5 by 6 points. It produces well-written prose with fewer "AI-isms". It's also very good at writing in your voice given the right context. HOWEVER: Writing performance also varied with reasoning levels. Medium reasoning had higher incidence of AI-isms—we found best results with high. - Beast at knowledge work. Opus 4.8 is very good at general knowledge work tasks like report creation, research and more. It produced the best PowerPoint one-shot we've ever seen on our deck generation benchmark. - Emotionally intelligent, willing to question the frame. I've also found it to be quite good at talking through psychological or interpersonal issues. It has a high EQ, and it's also good at not glazing and helping to expand your perspective. Its thought process feels extremely rich and dynamic. THE BAD: These days a model is only as good as its harness, and Codex is still a far superior harness to the Claude Desktop app. This has kept me using Codex + GPT-5.5 as my daily driver, but I am flipping back and forth a lot more between Codex and Claude. Anthropic is back baby! Read the rest on Every 📧:show more

🚨 do you understand what OpenAI just announced.. ChatGPT... Pro is now $100/month. 10x more Codex usage. and Codex isn't autocomplete - it writes, debugs, builds entire apps. autonomously. if you've used Claude Opus for coding you know the feeling. Codex hits the same way. except Claude Opus limits burn through in hours. you blink and you're out. Codex just got a $100 tier built to run 24/7. no cooldowns. no "you've reached your limit" at 2am mid-build. they're not selling you a chatbot. they're selling you a software engineer that never sleeps and never asks for equity. and they're doing it quietly while everyone argues about tariffs.show more

In the past week, I was able to build... the following games: - An endless runner - A tower defense - A Mario Party-like mini-game - An arena-based shooter The key unlock here was the ThreeJS skill With Opus 4.5 & GPT 5.2 - Claude Code / Codex CLI have much better end results now. With each game, I continued to update the skill based on bugs and issues faced - so it progressively got better and better at building the gameplay I was looking for. I've been doing this for a while now - and I can say that the leap in building games with vibe coding is real.show more

I’m joining OpenAI Codex to work on the future... of agentic development! At Cursor, I got to see the shift from autocomplete to agents. The next step isn’t a better IDE. It’s an Agent Development Environment (ADE): systems and tools for orchestrating agents, reasoning over their outputs, and making them autonomous enough to reliably complete ambitious work. After chatting with Alexander Embiricos and Tibo, it was clear that Codex is the best place to realize this vision. The team has consistently shipped SOTA models for agentic coding (check out gpt-5.3-codex) and I’m pumped for the future that the new Codex App points to. What I’m most excited about is the broader mission: accelerating the knowledge work economy. All agents are coding agents, and we’re already seeing Codex used across every job function within organizations. I’m extremely grateful for my time at Cursor, working with the incredible team, and I’m proud of what we built together. I’m excited to take an even bigger swing with Codex. If you’re curious to get a glimpse of where we are headed, download the Codex App! If you want to work on this mission, please apply or reach out - we are hiring across all functions! You can just build things.show more

GPT-5.5 is MUCH more reliable on longer running tasks... - for the first time with any model. As we speak I have a migration running for over 7+ hours - this literally never happened before, the models would maybe run for 30 mins or of you really shout at them for 2-3 hours. Last night I went to sleep, set a long running task, then queued up 10 prompts to 'keep it going'. It did not stop after the first prompt and kept going for 8+ hours and I woke up to all the same prompts still queued up. The ability to run for a long time, in combination with ability to validate with computer use & other tools, makes it much more useful for building real applications.show more

I can't believe this is real I have GLM... 5.2 running 100% locally on my Mac Studio. 2 bit quant. The results I'm getting are better than Opus 4.8 It's now powering my Hermes Agent and Codex. 100% free, local, private super intelligence on my desk I also have it in a loop coding for me 24/7 now I thought we were at least a year away from this type of event. It happened today. The model takes up about 250gb of memory. So you can technically run it on a Mac Studio with 256gb, but you probably want the 512gb memory version (please tell me you listened to me 5 months ago when these were sitting on store shelves) With Fable gone, I now have Opus 4.8 level intelligence on my desk for free. This is the future. Local, private, secure, personal super intelligence. If you're still writing off local AI as a fad or engagement bait, you are officially delusionalshow more

I've been using apps that I built myself with... Claude AI I recorded 10+ hours of video with a video editor I made. I'm turning all my designs to code with a Figma plugin I made. With Cursor, I don't think twice before starting to build for macOS, iOS, web apis, backend, video... These felt unreachable before. Not anymore. There's never been a better time to learn code. AI will fill the gap. If you ever feel the need to build your own apps or code your own designs, it's a good day to start. Many tools and courses are on discount today, include my courses on We have 20+ hours of video for SwiftUI apps, React apps and React Native using Cursor. Feel free to drop tools and resources that are on discount 👇 I'll start: (I use 2 of their apps for professional AI upscaling) has a 54% discount Windsurf (Cursor alternative) has a free trial until Dec 11 has a 40% discount! has a lot of great ui kits on sale Last but not least, has a ton of great discounts. The MacBook is the best investment for coding. 🖤show more

6 months at Rise! 6 months of me getting... to do what I love, with a team full of superstars. Over the last few months, I've been tweaking and experimenting with some poster styles for Hisa (formerly Chaka) Invest with Hisa, and I really love where I'm headed. Having free rein over the direction of these posters is a privilege I grabbed with both hands. And there's still more where this came from. I promise. Honestly feels like I'm just getting started. I really love it here, mehn.show more

excited to announce that I'm officially partnering with the... folks over at Essential Mod ! The Essential team is starting up a new program aimed at supporting mod creators specifically. I've been working with them behind the scenes for a while now to make this program a reality, so I'm very happy to see it come to fruition. I'd really like to see modding become a viable career option for more people, and I think creator programs like this are a step in the right direction. also we'll be collaborating on some cool content in the future so stay tuned!show more

I've been missing your company. I came really close... to checking into a mental hospital. I haven't needed that kind of saving since the late 90's. I'm so frustrated with my health, and feeling that I'm not in control, that I didn't trust myself. I got the lower back MRI results today. It shows bulging discs, arthritis, and stenosis. I feel defeated and broken. There's no lower rung for me. Tonight I'm trying to turn things around with the one thing that has helped me- my stream. My heartbeat. I'm going live now. Not sure how long I'll last but I know this is my only hope. Join me here:show more

⚔️ Kingdom Come Deliverance first impressions ⚔️ Loving it... so far, basically a medieval detective simulator that really doesn't care that you are the main character. And I'm all here for it. ▪️The WORLD is the real star of the show here and even though it's got plenty of jank and lots of copy and paste NPC faces, it just feels so IMMERSIVE. Even the UI just transports me to the times with a bright colourful medieval art style. ▪️The MUSIC I love, absolutely sells the world and basically ASMR as you trot around on your horse through the world. ▪️THE Combat is a real interesting one, it's got quite the learning curve which I actually LIKE, it definitely has some jank to it as well but I really appreciate the attempt at an original and nuanced combat system. (Having to stop your bleeding with bandages is really cool) ▪️The Story has gripped me (19 hours in so far) And while it seems a simple revenge story on the face of it, I think the story is more about Henry making his way through the world after the horrors of Skallitz. The writing quality is top notch as well as the quest design also. ▪️The CHARACTERS are amazing and the humour is top notch. I'm not sure the last time I laughed so much at a game. Henry is great and so well voiced by Tom McKay This really feels like Warhorse Studios have put a lot of love and work into making an authentic medieval world and as a bit of a medieval nerd I can't get enough of this game. A True RPG as well by all accounts, the game really makes me think hard about how to approach situations. Also I can't wait to get to KCD2.show more

I'm still playing with 3D storyboards for Seedance 2.0.... Even when I ask for a 2D video, using a 3D storyboard often pushes the model toward a 3D look. I haven't tested it extensively yet but there definitely seems to be a bias. So 2D storyboards work better for 2D videos, while 3D storyboards are better suited for 3D or photorealistic outputs. Another thing I found is that my video prompt is already very detailed. If I remove the storyboard section and generate the video without attaching a storyboard, the model still follows the same beats. The main difference is the environment. With a storyboard, it tends to recreate an environment that closely matches the storyboard. I also think storyboards help with certain poses and compositions. If you're curious about the prompts, I've included them below.show more

I've been testing out Windows 11's new Haptic Signals... feature on compatible hardware, and I think I love it. I'm someone who yearns for small UX details like this, and I'm so happy to see Microsoft leaning into subtle but quality UX implementations like haptics across the Windows Shell. These new Haptic Signals provide a subtle bump when interacting with certain UI elements and actions, such as snapping app windows or dragging files in File Explorer. The feedback response feels great and intentional, and makes using the OS feel more satisfying. There's still room for improvement, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't impressed with this first implementation. It's only supported on a handful of devices for now, but that should change over time. I've always loved the haptic feedback layered throughout Google Pixel phones, and now Windows is getting its own version of it. More UX niceties like this, please!show more

AUTOMATE POLYMARKET BOT WITH CLAUDE! Now, since Claude can... control your computer, things are changing fast, so I decided to try a few strategies I said, Claude: "Research for the best options to profit through Polymarket using my PC" He said that simple trading is basically gambling, you can also build a bot that arbitrages, trades, etc., but it takes ~months Then he said, "Copytrading." So I asked him to fetch wallets that I can copytrade and how I can copytrade them, what is the strategy Couple of hours and I had a running monitoring bot that fetched wallets and filtered them by: - PnL - Markets they are trading - Trades a day - Position size - Portfolio size - Strategy of trading Based on that, I asked him to consider options of copytrading, fixed amount, % of portfolio, or same risk management, what slippage He gave me 2 wallets that traded 5-15 min markets and said: "These wallets will be profitable for copytrading using: 5% slippage, one of them with a fixed amount, another with RM 1x ratio copytrading" Since these wallets didn't have a large portfolio, it really worked and it started copytrading using this TG bot Bot: It's ~1 hour since copytrading started and so far I have not made much profit, but testing looks great and Claude decided to test only for 20 trades/per day, firstly Make sure to follow me and turn notifs on, will share with you the rest of the journey here and continue finding new strategiesshow more

Gaurav-Akansha Divorce: Husband Wants Kids, Wife Makes Him The... Problem? Akansha says, “He agreed before, but now he wants kids.” So now a man wanting his own children and his own family is wrong? A husband wanting fatherhood is not a crime. A man dreaming of a complete family after marriage is not toxicity. But openly mocking him as a “green flag,” laughing at the situation, and then being seen getting badly close and over-comfortable with other men while still married — is that supposed to be normal? If a husband behaves like this with other women, the same society will call it disrespect, betrayal and emotional cruelty. But when a wife does it, suddenly everyone becomes silent. Marriage is not a joke. Boundaries are not old-fashioned. Loyalty is not insecurity. If she did not want kids, she had the right to say it clearly. But do not shame the man for wanting the family he thought marriage was meant to build. A man wanting children is not a red flag. A husband expecting dignity is not controlling. A wife mocking him publicly while crossing boundaries is not “modern” — it is disrespect.show more

I'm very impressed with the Streaming quality of the... #PSPORTAL , From button press to game loads in about 10 seconds. I never used it before because I was always running this via Remote-play, but now that I've been playing this way for a few hours.... I'm at a Loss for words, this feels just like I'm playing it on my PS5, I even tried Fighting Games and the input lag was almost non-existent, I've tried streaming services in the past (Stadia, GE Force Now, X cloud) But none of them felt this good, this is crazy, if the PS6 Handheld has this feature I'm definitely going to be using it more often, this save me a lot of memory/storage and download times. #PSportal 👑 #Playstation 💙show more

This isn't a Mouse - it's a Portal. I... remain in my conviction that people in the City are semi-comatose, not noticing things around them. Hell, they don't even look at the sky. This seems crazy as we are hard-wired to notice things around us, to perceive and interpret clues and signals - this necessary for our hunter-gatherer ancestors to survive. The City is a great place for the reason that when you go to or view things 'off the beaten track' things reveal themselves - nature, secrets, and stories. Many of these things are actually in the open but under the radar of the city person. I realised years ago that when I'm down in the London Underground, if I look at the far track for a few minutes, a mouse going about its business is likely to appear. The far track means it is hidden from the people on the crowded platform. Just-wait-long-enough. Sure enough, I filmed for a few seconds and a furry critter appeared to order, like magic. When you open your eyes portals reveal themselves. They take you to another world. It seems even more magical when it's just you viewing it. A world within a world, for your privilege. For a few seconds, in this case, the people on the platform faded into the background and the wild and the oceanic appeared. These portals are the Perfect Moments I talk about.show more

Some updates on the multiview vistadream pipeline with Rerun!... Rerun came in extremely useful here, as being able to visualize depths at each stage of the pipeline allowed me to debug some nasty bugs. Since the last time, I was only working with a single image input. I've added in VGGT as my multiview pose + depth estimator. It works REALLY well for getting camera poses, but the depths are not that great. To try and fix that, I estimated depth maps from MoGeV2 for each of the views, and scale+shift aligned them so that they would match up to the confident sections of VGGT's depth predictions. You can see in the video just how much sharper the visualized 2d depth maps are! The biggest issue continues to be the multiview consistency 🫠 That's up next, along with actually training the Gaussian splat. Lots of work went into actually understanding inputs+outputs for VGGT. I had some funky bugs where the confidence values would all collapse to true I'm also really excited for this pipeline to use Difix3D+ Nvidia instead of Flux Inpainting, it seems like a better suited for a multiview pipeline.show more

🚨 ANOTHER CLAIM I DON'T AGREE WITH... 🤔 One... thing I keep hearing is that Malawians are "cheap labour." From my own experience, that hasn't been the case. I've hired a Malawian domestic worker before, and the daily rate was around R300, about what I'd expect to pay a South African for the same work. Go to JHB Malawian tailor are super excellent at their job and they not cheap as Jacinta says... The same goes for gardening. Around R300 a day is not what I'd call "cheap labour." For skilled jobs like plumbing, electrical work, painting or construction, prices are usually negotiated based on the job and experience, regardless of nationality. What many people I've worked with have been known for is reliability, a strong work ethic, humility and consistency. Those qualities are often why employers hire them. To be clear, I'm not promoting undocumented immigration. Immigration laws should be respected and enforced. I'm simply saying we should be accurate when discussing the labour market. If we're going to debate immigration, let's do it based on facts rather than assumptions.show more
