Anthropic's support article states the terms plainly: from May 13, 2026 through August 19, 2026 at 11:59 PM PT, weekly usage limits in Claude Code are 50% higher, and after that date they "return to their standard levels." The bump covers…
A day after launching Origin, its git forge, Cursor published the engineering account of what sits underneath it. Martí walks through why hosting git is hard, why GitHub's distributed-filesystem attempts failed, and how Spokes, the…
The thread asks GitHub employees to explain the platform's recent reliability record. No employee answered on the record.
The task was to break a structural guarantee the surrounding code was built on: that a UI panel stays open for the duration of an AI request. The target behaviour, a streaming generation that survives its panel closing and reattaches to the…
Luu had an agent build FRE, a regex engine, and ran it against rebar, Andrew Gallant's regex benchmark suite, which he describes as "fairly comprehensive as benchmaark suites go." The setup was GPT-5.6 Sol in a loop for a month with…
Cursor shipped Origin today: a git forge built into the coding-agent vendor itself, for creating and hosting repositories, pushing and pulling with standard git, mirroring an existing GitHub repo, browsing and searching code, and opening,…
Osmani argued agentic coding terminals and most desktop apps are "too low-bandwidth for what agentic harnesses can actually do" and said he's excited for "cloud-native harnesses that work on anything, accessible from anywhere," replying…
Wiz Research's autonomous "Red Agent" scanned Snowflake's public GitHub organization, found a script-injection flaw in a GitHub Actions workflow, and exploited it entirely on its own, five days after the flaw went live. The vulnerable…
A thin newsletter post about AI-slop etiquette drew replies describing real production guardrails against it: one team runs a Claude Code hook that "blocks any comment more than 2 lines long" (joshmoody24), another described a five-gate…
98 points and 78 comments at just under three hours old when last checked, with Simon Willison arguing GitHub's strain is a different shape of scaling problem than LLM serving. A GitHub executive's claim of 14x commit growth is…
1,800 likes and 95,000 views at about 21 hours old. Hashimoto, who coined "harness engineering," says his own machine's overnight CPU utilization has gone from roughly zero to over 20 percent because of background agents.
The paper names a specific failure mode: an agent edits code or submits a patch "before examining enough repository evidence to justify the change," which it calls premature commitment, distinct from violating a safety or governance policy.…
Anthropic's release-notes page lists the system prompt shipped with every Claude model since Claude Haiku 3, with diffs bolded where a prompt changed between dated versions for the same model. A submission by user tosh reached 331 points…
Anthropic set 45 agents loose on 15 open source projects, each agent on its own virtual machine, sharing a forum to coordinate and a separate arbiter agent to adjudicate findings. The coordinating swarm found 266 vulnerabilities over a 27…
Cresswell published Yadda 3.0.0, a modernisation of his JavaScript BDD library: Node only, node:test, ES6 source, TypeScript definitions, and the removal of CasperJS, PhantomJS, Bower and Component. He reports that he did it with Claude…
Rao's essay responds to the Your brain on ChatGPT preprint, the EEG study in which undergraduates leaning on GPT-4o showed weaker alpha-beta coupling, produced similar prose, and later could not quote their own sentences. He accepts the…
GPU Mode ran a contest to implement batched compact-Householder QR factorization on B200 hardware. sankalp placed 12th of 183, taking the reference torch.geqrf path from roughly 419,000 microseconds to a final tracked 1,805, and made over…
Voting runs from 00:00 UTC today to 23:59 UTC on August 28, after a discussion period that opened July 23 and was extended. Eight options are on the ballot, drafted independently by eight different proposers, which is why they do not read…
Chakrabarti tracked individual instructions, not file sizes, across 1,867 GitHub repositories and 247,694 instruction lifetimes. At its last tracked version the median agentic context file carries 39 instructions, with a 90th percentile…
The experiment holds what an agent can do roughly fixed and varies only how those capabilities are organized and exposed. Six tool setups, three actor models (Qwen3Coder-30B, Kimi K2.5 and Claude Sonnet 4.5), 65 issue-resolution instances…
