Oops accidentally deleted my x post about grok bot having no use case for me but I think this is something X data. No need for x apis anymore!
Grok Bot can now search, read, and monitor X.

claude code mods are so cool and useful! built one that shows every subagent while it runs. you never really know what model they're on, now it's right above the prompt: → agent type + task → model + effort → time elapsed → stop button if it's taking too long
A few of you asked what mods are, here's a quick walkthrough! They’re really just plugins with a few special functions that let your code run inside Claude Code, like middleware. (don't worry, you can just ask Claude to write them for you 😛)

v4 @ElevenLabs is really awesome! built this over the weekend. give it a try! with a simple harness around it, youd probably create Her . teapawt.net/thinkingtraces/status/…
Eleven v4 and Eleven v4 Turbo are now #1 and #2 on the Artificial Analysis text to speech leaderboard.

"Most people aren't looking to save time, they're looking for ways to spend their time." 9 of 15 consumer internet categories have zero AI products in the Top 100. These built some of the biggest companies of the last two eras: - Streaming - Social - Dating - Gaming - Travel - Retail - Finance - Real estate - Jobs More charts in our Top 100 Consumer AI Apps breakdown: a16z.news/p/top-100-consumer…
The seventh edition of our Top 100 Consumer AI Apps is here. New this time: a revenue leaderboard, alongside the usual web and mobile traffic rankings. Three years ago we published the first edition. ChatGPT was #1, Claude was unranked, and the entire category was chatbots, image generators, and not much else. In today's edition: - ChatGPT still holds the throne, now with 1B+ monthly actives on mobile - Claude has climbed to #3 on web with nearly 1B monthly visits - The category has expanded to vibe coding (Lovable, Cursor, Replit), music (Suno), design (Figma), voice (ElevenLabs), video (Higgsfield, Kling), agents (Manus), and even hardware (Plaud) Full breakdown from @omooretweets: a16z.news/p/top-100-consumer…

built my own push-to-talk voice assistant over the weekend to try elevenlabs v4! Scribe v2 → Sonnet 5.5 → ElevenLabs v4, on Cloudflare Workers, with a little harness for tools + memory. sure grok bot and dots are cool, but building your own hits different. video made by Opus 5.5 (also insane!) sound on

wow @Cloudflare birthday week announced this and i missed it. Vinext 1.0, Next.js-on-Vite, production-ready before any of you say, just use tanstack start, i think my main use case is trying to migrate all of my old builds from vercel to cloudflare!

Hmm dots will only be available to pro subscribers. Will be interesting to see if this is a success. Muse is free. I know it’s harder for openai to make it free.

The Pareto frontier is misleading ❌ for general users. Price it by subscription instead of API. With cache hits, Opus 5.5 with Claude Code 20x has already killed every other model.

is it really a matter of compute ? wasnt openai the one aggressively buying compute and not ant ?
🚨 Anthropic News Fable 5.5 in my short experience while grey testing <10 days ago> is weirdly intelligent you just have to do what task you want one line it just do that task as a expert of that niche ( to the minute details) no other model showed this even the new opus 5.5 ( claude max 20 feels unlimited now) no need to write prompt on how to do it no need to give reference for most of task , fable just do it < at this pace there new pre training they just started will be AGI in my humble opinion> so good luck with all this openai , gpt 6.1 astra will not launch soon as it was highly deceptive model , so now we are at this point where the best model of openai is on par with everyday model of anthropic

Say what you want about Gemini and their lacklustre performance, they’re still sota afaik on speech and tts in general!
Every frame was drawn in JavaScript. Narrated by Gemini Flash 3.8 TTS and built with Claude Opus 5.5. Inspired by @wustep's work.

yeah everyone at OpenAI is hyping Tuesday. It’s gonna be good I guess!

The confidence of OpenAI employees ahead of their Tuesday dev day has me worried about keeping two subs lol Thinking of cancelling my chagpt sub but who knows what Tuesday might bring I guess I just gotta earn more!
we’ve got a fun week coming

interesting to see the value in this ever since claude opus 5.5 got released
OPENAI 🔥: The upcoming ChatGPT Pro Max plan will cost $500. So far, this will be one of the most expensive AI subscriptions available on the market. I hope "it will be worth the wait" 👀

Will OpenAI be forced to reopen pro tier subscriptions since Claude opus 5.5 has been a huge success?
