Highly recommend reading this guest post by theoretical physicist Matthew Schwartz to get a sense of how AI is helping science.
He found Opus 4.5 to be roughly the level of a second-year grad student and it helped him accelerate his research by 10x.
Anthropic: We’re launching with two new posts.
Can AI do theoretical physics?
Harvard physicist Matthew Schwartz led Claude Opus 4.5 through a graduate-level calculation. AI can’t yet do original work autonomously, but it can vastly accelerate it.

YC W26 Demo Day is here! 🟧
I put together a free page with everything you need to know about the companies and founders:
- 14 companies that have already shared revenue
- 24 flagged with top founder signals
- press that's landed before they've even presented
this is so good
obviously the future
Ramp Labs: http://x.com/i/article/2036144051146117120
Pretty much every PR I review:
0) review [codex does it's thing and finds issues]
1) is the issue clear? [if not, trash PR]
2) is this the best possible fix? [95% of the time no]
3) continue discussion, consider tradeoffs, usually rewrite PR
Most folks send too localized, small fixes that would end up making the project unmaintainable.
I'm the people's champ, something like a bawla

GPT-5.4 Pro fully resolves a Machine Learning adjacent Open Math problem from http://solveall.org!
I submitted the solution a few weeks ago and just checking now, it has been accepted.
This marks the 2nd problem on the site to be fully resolved!

Super useful viral TSA wait time app — built on Replit.
Zach Griff: I built a free live TSA wait time tracker that shows live wait times by checkpoint, including Precheck, Clear, and priority (where available).
I did it because:
- TSA lines are insane
- Existing tools offer estimated waits
- Test the power of AI tools

okay @conductor_build is so awesome

Little known fact, the Anthropic Labs team (the team I joined Anthropic to be on) shipped:
- MCP
- Skills
- Claude Desktop app
- Claude Code
It was just a few of us, shipping fast, trying to keep pace with what the model was capable of.
Those early Desktop computer use prototypes, back in the Sonnet 3.6 days, felt clunky and slow. But it was easy to squint and imagine all the ways people might use it once it got really good.
Fast forward to today. I am so excited to release full computer use in Cowork and Dispatch. Really excited to see what you do with it!
Claude: You can now enable Claude to use your computer to complete tasks.
It opens your apps, navigates your browser, fills in spreadsheets—anything you'd do sitting at your desk.
Research preview in Claude Cowork and Claude Code, macOS only.
Computer use and the ability to write and run code on the fly are the ultimate primitives for agents to be able to take on more and more tasks in knowledge work.
Most work requires hopping between multiple applications, and working with broad sets of data, in a workflow, and agents will need to be able to traverse these systems to be able to effectively automate any real work in the enterprise.
Now we will have agents that are the equivalent of having an expert programmer (or any number of them) that can write code or use any API to automate whatever work you’re doing. Agents will have access to either a user’s computer and resources, or their own sandbox to operate in, and be able to pull together the tools necessary to perform the task at hand. This opens up the broadest set of agentic use-cases.
To be sure, there are going to be various hurdles around security, permissions and access controls, identity challenges, and more.
For instance, should the agent always act on behalf of the user, or should they have their own identity and limited set of access rights? How do you triage security events when historically volume of activity on a system is no longer a reliable signal of a security issue? How do you ensure the agent isn’t going rogue or getting prompt injected to do something risky? All problems that need to get figured out.
Then, there’s also lots of work needed to ensure software is setup to enable to agents to operate with their tools in a headless fashion. This will be an uncomfortable reality for some incumbents, and equally a welcome one for tools that historically have operated seamlessly via APIs, and have business models to support this.
Lots of change coming in the world of work agents, and it’s going to get pretty wild.

THE APPLE APP STORE IS DROWNING IN AI SLOP
people are treating the App Store like a Medium blog spitting out apps one after another.
All with zero users and $0 revenue.
Apple reviews that used to take hours are now stretching into WEEKS and even months

I haven't typed `npm run dev` on my local machine for three days now and it's absolute bliss.
Having my agents 100% in the cloud is a massive unlock.
(One of those agents is openclaw, which is technically on my mbp in my office, but the only way I interact with it is via email/slack so it “feels” cloud)
I'm able to run all the engineering and marketing for my startup through Slack and Linear and because of this the work product that I'm shipping has increased dramatically.
I know all of us devs love creating our own custom solutions to this stuff but the truth is that creating an agent orchestration layer for your company or startup is a full-time job.
Our job as startup founders is to be growing the company, not to be building out an agent orchestration custom platform.
I think if you have a larger engineering team like Ramp, then it does make sense to build an entire layer like Inspect agent.
However, I would venture to say that I'm getting most of the value by simply paying for a pre-built, battle-hardened solution like Devin.
Again to be clear I'm not being paid by Devin or anybody to say these things, just my real-world experience using this stuff.
It is increasing clear that the hardware for robotics is ready.
We just need to get the software to a point where it is reliable and scalable.
This actually makes me very bullish on 🇺🇸.
We are good at software. And increasingly getting at hardware and supply chains as well.

Almost every SaaS app inside Vercel has now been replaced with a generated app or agent interface, deployed on Vercel.
Support, sales, marketing, PM, HR, dataviz, even design and video workflows. It’s shocking.
The SaaSpocalypse is both understated and overstated. Over because the key systems of record and storage are still there (Salesforce, Snowflake, etc.)
Understated because the software we are generating is more beautiful, personalized, and crucially, fits our business problems better.
We struggled for years to represent the health of a Vercel customer properly inside Salesforce. Too much data (trillions of consumption data points), the ontology of Vercel was a mismatch to the built-in assumptions, and the resulting UI was bizarre. We generated what we needed instead. When you don’t need a UI, you just ask an agent with natural language.
We’ve also been moving off legacy systems with poor, slow, outdated, and inconsistent APIs, as well as just dropping abstraction down to more traditional databases. UI is a function 𝑓 of data (always has been), and that 𝑓 is increasingly becoming the LLM.

I’m strongly in favor of public transit and want BART to succeed.
That’s why I’m uncomfortable with the framing that the only option is new funding without drastic change.
We're being asked to pay more at a time when concerns about cleanliness, safety, and cost discipline are still unresolved. It’s reasonable to ask how new funding will translate into measurable improvements on those fronts.
I would support additional investment only if it's paired with clear accountability: specific performance targets and consequences if those targets aren’t met.
Kim-Mai Cutler: Oh wow, shutting down BART entirely is a possibility if the sales tax measure doesn't pass.
“We’ve also been moving off legacy systems with poor, slow, outdated, and inconsistent APIs.”
If you’re building software that can’t work fully headlessly in a way that agents want to use, you’re not prepared for what the future of software is going to look like.
Agents will use software 100X more than people, and people will more and more interact with their data and workflows via agents across many different platforms.
This is the real risk but also opportunity for platforms right now. Software doesn’t go away, but it becomes the guardrails and business logic for what agents are able to operate on. But if you can’t connect to wherever the agents want to do that work, you’re DOA.

Software horror: litellm PyPI supply chain attack.
Simple `pip install litellm` was enough to exfiltrate SSH keys, AWS/GCP/Azure creds, Kubernetes configs, git credentials, env vars (all your API keys), shell history, crypto wallets, SSL private keys, CI/CD secrets, database passwords.
LiteLLM itself has 97 million downloads per month which is already terrible, but much worse, the contagion spreads to any project that depends on litellm. For example, if you did `pip install dspy` (which depended on litellm>=1.64.0), you'd also be pwnd. Same for any other large project that depended on litellm.
Afaict the poisoned version was up for only less than ~1 hour. The attack had a bug which led to its discovery - Callum McMahon was using an MCP plugin inside Cursor that pulled in litellm as a transitive dependency. When litellm 1.82.8 installed, their machine ran out of RAM and crashed. So if the attacker didn't vibe code this attack it could have been undetected for many days or weeks.
Supply chain attacks like this are basically the scariest thing imaginable in modern software. Every time you install any depedency you could be pulling in a poisoned package anywhere deep inside its entire depedency tree. This is especially risky with large projects that might have lots and lots of dependencies. The credentials that do get stolen in each attack can then be used to take over more accounts and compromise more packages.
Classical software engineering would have you believe that dependencies are good (we're building pyramids from bricks), but imo this has to be re-evaluated, and it's why I've been so growingly averse to them, preferring to use LLMs to "yoink" functionality when it's simple enough and possible.
Daniel Hnyk: LiteLLM HAS BEEN COMPROMISED, DO NOT UPDATE. We just discovered that LiteLLM pypi release 1.82.8. It has been compromised, it contains litellm_init.pth with base64 encoded instructions to send all the credentials it can find to remote server + self-replicate. link below

I'm so happy to welcome @trevin to my compound engineering plugin. Check out what he's been cooking on! And we'll do a live stream this friday to release version 3 of the plugin. Lots of cool new stuff coming!

Six months ago I started working for @sunflowersober because I wanted to help them become the world's #1 sober app. 500k active users later and a pilot program with @THClinicSF, it's really happening. We're building a sober movement.

“When it comes to telling the story of the future, startups have multiple structural advantages over the incumbents.”
Ashley Mayer: 👋 I wrote an essay about the (miserable) state of tech's narrative outside our industry, and why I think startups have a structural advantage over the biggest players when it comes to telling better stories about the future.

whoa! really interesting
Sora: We’re saying goodbye to Sora. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing.
We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on

Hamada: @garrytan I was a skeptic but I tried gstack today and I was thoroughly impressed 👏🏼

CEO of @every, @danshipper's Plus One is R2C2.
It handles bug diagnosis and code work—it diagnosed and fixed a Proof bug autonomously. R2 found the issue, traced it, shipped the fix. Dan didn't open the repo.
Dan codes too. R2C2 just got to the bug first.
I haven’t written a PRD by hand, filed an issue through a form, or hand-written any code in months.
But the volume of work I’m producing and the quality bar have never been higher.
Linear: Issue tracking is dead.
We are building what comes next.

San Francisco public transit has a higher body count than Waymo.
San Francisco Chronicle: A pedestrian was fatally hit by a Muni bus in San Francisco’s Union Square. The operator was undergoing drug and alcohol testing and will not be driving pending the results of the investigation. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/sf-muni-bus-pedestrian-fatality-22094428.php?taid=69c2f6aa32093500012593f9&utm_campaign=trueanthem%2B3988&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter
Frontend-slides now supports deploying your deck as a URL & exporting as PDF!
So you can share your vibe coded slides with others easily
Here's an example of a deployed deck: https://vibe-coding-jam-0222-presentation.vercel.app/
Zara Zhang: I created a Claude Skill that make beautiful slides on the web. The world hasn't woken up to the fact that code can create much better slides than most PPT tools.
- Claude interviews you first about aesthetics, then generate a few directions to "show not tell", and you can pick

no 👏 more 👏 permission prompts 👏
Claude: New in Claude Code: auto mode.
Instead of approving every file write and bash command, or skipping permissions entirely, auto mode lets Claude make permission decisions on your behalf.
Safeguards check each action before it runs.

Everyone calls AI output “slop,” but I would be surprised if the median line code written by AI today weren’t higher quality than the median line of code written 10 years ago
Every 📧
While @danshipper was in meetings this morning, his agent R2-C2 posted a full issues digest on Proof—prioritized bug clusters, mapped them against recent PRs, and flagged a fix.
When Dan reported a new bug, R2-C2 narrowed it to the collab/reconnect path within minutes.
Agent diagnoses. Human decides.

Keep this in mind when talking about GitHub stability. This is GitHub's email notification volume over time. A lot of AI generated code piggybacks on GitHub's subsidized infrastructure hard. https://x.com/terrorobe/status/2036556237312057373?s=20
Michael Renner: @mitsuhiko @mitchellh Email notifications volume as the proxy for growth I’m directly involved with.
Shits crazy.

congrats to the W26 batch!
the first one where founders shipped and grew faster than before since agentic coding stated to really work
a crazy stat is we have ~3x number of companies from a year ago that hit series A metrics in just 3 months
Y Combinator: happy YC Demo Day to all who celebrate
Samuel Spitz
Replit isn't just for making apps or UI designs
It's also really good at making ad creative
All the idiots hating on my work have never tried it
Imagine that
Steve Korshakov: i have seen here people shitting on @garrytan gstack, but no one really looked into it, yes they are prompts, but some of them a very valuable like office-hours, others are very similar to what everyone is doing so no harm for sure.

Now's the time to be maximally ambitious.
Welcome to your next chapter at SPC, Founder Fellows.
Thanks for helping us kick things off in the redwoods, @anuraggoel.
YC Demo Day for W26 is in full swing
The craziest stat: 3X more companies in this batch reached $1M annualized revenue than W25
Also crazy: the fastest revenue growth rate of YC history at 14% week on week growth *on average* across the whole set of nearly 200 startups
I am literally tracking to create more 90X the code output I did in 2013
In 80 days I’ve done about 13X already
Garry Tan: It's not about lines of code. It's about making something people want.
I can't wait to show you *all* of what I've built.
The haters will go to town here. Hate me, but try my free open source first. I made it to speed up, and I'm not done. I want you to speed up with me.
seriously @walden_yan cooked, this thing legitimately saves my ass 3-8x a day, and yes it sounds weird that devin can catch devin's own mistakes, but this is basically the equivalent of "sleeping on it" and looking at a PR with fresh/more critical eyes. btw you should also see the "smart friend" pattern he piloted in Windsurf, it is going to be the design pattern for smarter subagents (usually subagents are dumber) that others are only just catching on to
Gauri Gupta: can’t trust merging code without a Devin review anymore.
Claude and Codex are great, but they don’t catch bugs the way Devin does.
devin code review is OG. @cognition has built something special.

if you work between claude code and an openclaw agent, you need to add the Proof skill to both of them. It makes it so easy to work with shared context. Instructions here––drop this into Claude Code and your agent:
Install Proof for me.
Proof is a collaborative document editor for humans and agents. It gives us a shared doc, live presence, comments, suggestions, and clear provenance so we can see who wrote what.
Read https://www.proofeditor.ai/agent-setup and install Proof for this agent.
If you cannot install tools or run local commands in this chat, tell me to use Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, or another agent that can.
If you want the direct Codex install command instead, use:
mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills/proof && curl -fsSL https://www.proofeditor.ai/proof.SKILL.md -o ~/.codex/skills/proof/SKILL.md
If Proof later returns a confusing error, stale read, or failed write, call POST https://www.proofeditor.ai/api/bridge/report_bug with what you know.
Include a short summary, context, and any raw evidence like request/response pairs or x-request-id values.
If it helps, you can also inspect https://github.com/EveryInc/proof-sdk for reference code while debugging.
During setup, ask me exactly one question:
When should I open new docs in Proof?
1. All new markdown docs
2. For collaborative docs like plans, specs, reports, and drafts
3. Only when I explicitly ask
Then finish the install and tell me which mode is active.
etn.
Michele Catasta (@pirroh) President of Replit (@Replit) says "AGI for vibe-coding is coming earlier than 2028":
"I would expect by the end of 2026, a lot of the core functionalities that models and agents have to have, in order to become very good vibe coding workhorses, will be there".
"Literally the bottleneck would become grit, determination, if you want to take the time and, you know, invest a bit of money to make it happen".
"No vibe coding tool today is absolutely perfect... but the amount of creativity that they unleash is second to none."
Amjad Masad: Software isn’t merely technical work anymore. It’s creative.
Introducing Replit Agent 4. The first AI built for creative collaboration between humans and agents.
Design on an infinite canvas, work with your team, run parallel agents, and ship working apps, sites, slides & more.

Winston B.: @garrytan I was curious and needed another angle to help out with a client and was immediately gstack-pilled with one use of office hours. Thanks for what you do, Garry.
GStack swag soon?

Vercel can now intelligently pick the right hardware for your build.
With new Rust-based compilers like Turbopack & Rolldown, build performance now scales with 𝒪(cpus).
But too many CPUs and you waste money. Too few and agents waste time. Elastic build machines fixes this 😌
Vercel Developers: Elastic build machines are now available in beta.
Instead of micromanaging build settings, Vercel intelligently selects the right-sized machine, optimizing build speed and cost.

Something shifted in January...
Last year I barely knew how GitHub worked; now I have 13k+ stars on GitHub
(and I'm not even a technical person, but then again how do you define technical these days?)
