1. Describe the feature
2. Launch Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Amp, and Opencode to compete…

@giffmana different strokes!

@DanielleFong I never got to experience this bygone golden age

@TeksEdge you're in luck

@giffmana Agree, I’m on the Claude train pretty solidly

TIL you can still use GPT 4.5 if you are on the Pro plan and enable "Show additional models" 😍x.com/giffmana/statu…Fx

@giffmana How are you still using 4.5??

@matthayes13 Just to clarify, are you in the mobile app? Try to sign up from the actual safari browser, not the mobile app, first. Then you’ll be able to log in with mobile app afterward. (Apple Store thing that we’re trying to work around)

@matthayes13 Just to clarify, are you in the mobile app? Try to dig up from the actual safari browser Firefox not the mobile app.

@matthayes13 Looking into it!

@matthayes13 Does it work for you from here superconductor.dev/sign_up

@matthayes13 Yeah feel free to to sign in with google even if you don’t have account, it’ll automatically sign you up!

@mitchellh @davidfowl definitely

@jheitzeb Dangerously skip permissions with stable infrastructure

my new year's resolution is to dangerously skip permissions

Need to update the website, but it's finally sunny and I want to hike 🤷🏻‍♂️

Launched agents, went on a hike, checked in on my phone, tweaked code, and opened a PR from the trail6N

@amasad That’s hilarious

@nzgb @tryramp Found the same, incredible time to build. (If anyone wants this workflow just sign up) x.com/sergeykarayev/…

We tried many ways to give Claude Code the right context. The one that worked best was actually the one that took the least effort.

@steipete hell yes brother

Some are misunderstanding what I was trying to say.

This is an example of a robot doing a task that only humans could do before. But now the robot can do it 1000x faster, and that feels inhuman.

When we have true AGI, a robot will be able to do ~every task that only humans…

@klattkev Unintentional

@haltakov I mean, LLMs already read and write 1000x faster than me

@yishan So that’s how you spot an AI bot huh

@andybak x.com/sergeykarayev/…

@Coscorrodrift This thing is not AI necessarily but it’s a robot doing a thing that a human can do, but 1000x faster.

Once AGI exists they can do anything a human can do, we should remember that it’s also going to be able to do those things 1000x faster.

This robot solving a rubiks cube in 0.103 seconds is a little preview of what "AGI" really means

@tannerlinsley This is how we like to do it (and not only claude code)

@dronathon @housecor Yes, that’s a good idea, too!

@signulll AKA which race are you picking in the RPG character creation screen

@housecor Try superconductor.dev :)

This just isn't right.

My current LLM daily drivers

Coding: Opus 4.5 via Claude Code

Random reasoning tasks (eg review these legal docs, make a table of activities from these links, random questions): Opus 4.5 via Claude app

Image generation: Gemini 3 via web

Voice chat: Grok app

@Architect9000 and then you'll just time travel back to the past?

How we do front-end dev now:

1. Describe the feature
2. Launch Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Amp, and Opencode to compete on designs
3. ...
4. Profit

Each agent can use the live app preview (@SuperconductDev supports any env, including docker-compose) to test its own work and…

@dnsosebee @EdgeEsmeralda hell yes thanks

Are there any websites with this aesthetic?

@seekingtroooth I’d say I’m a fair bit more Sergey than Claude but I’m a non-zero amount of Claude also I agree

A surprising number of my chats with Claude end like this

@AndrewCurran_

Post-AGI, emotional labor will be all that’s left.

Is it crazy that the best context we've found for coding agents is just... Slack threads?

No RAG. Nothing fancy. Just being able to tag the agent in the thread where people already explained the problem, shared screenshots, and debated the fix.

Anyone else find the same thing?

“Real median income” is going up and up, according to official charts — but people feel poorer and poorer.

But what if instead of using CPI to convert nominal income to real income, we divided nominal income by the price of an S&P5 00 index fund that year? That’d be like each…

Kinda sucks if OpenAI has developed a strong incentive to cut corners and achieve ASI as quickly as possible, lest it literally die. x.com/michaeljburry/…

Biden got us out of Afghanistan just before people figured out you can turn consumer drones into personalized missiles.

Just learned that `git diff -U20` will output 20 lines of context instead of the usual 3. Useful for coding agents to see more context around diffs!

@pzakin Stay tuned 😎

@ankrgyl Good stuff, very similar to how I’ve been working. I think you’d love superconductor.dev for a portion of this workflow today (and eventually for all of it). Would love to show you what I mean if you’re open to a screen share!

Let’s say that it became fully certain that you could live to 120, but only if you subsisted solely on a Soylent-like flavorless sludge, and no alcohol.

Pretty sure most people wouldn’t take the deal. Would keep eating steak, drinking wine, and die at 90 or whatever.

@thorstenball Can you (use AI to) analyze the initial prompts, codebases, and conversations to see what might be different between you and other Gemini-success-havers and the rest of us?

Lord, I pray today that you rid us of such horrible drivel. My soul longs for human rhythms and ood ideas. May the slop purveyors repent the evil of their ways. Amen. x.com/nabeelqu/statu…

@EvanAndrewOwen @brextonpham @AmpCode Hey Evan, you can use Amp in the cloud with superconductor.dev

+ live app preview for each agent
+ mobile app
+ slack (game changer for us)

Would love to onboard you or feel free to give it a try yourself!

Man I’m losing my mind, every post on the timeline is AI slop now. Not picking on this particular “content creator” but can other people not feel the horrible rhythm of LLMcel drivel?

Big opportunity in the market for an actually fast GitHub

if you get bad responses from a good LLM it is because you yourself are bad

@skeptrune Also:

If you want a dozen agents to work on a dozen tasks, that's as easy as having one agent work on one task.

If you want to launch both Codex and Claude Code on the same task, that's as easy as launching just Claude Code.

@skeptrune How I understand your problem:

Given a deployed app, you want to update it on the go by pinging Claude Code (or another agent).

How Superconductor solves it:

1. Connect your app repo
2. Whenever you want anything, submit a ticket from the web app, mobile app, or via Slack
3.…

@skeptrune This is way easier if you set up superconductor.dev! Can call Claude code from the web, iPhone app, or even Slack. Live preview for Claude’s work. Deploy via GitHub when you’re happy. Ping me if you do sign up

Now supporting @opencode on Superconductor. Some cool things coming soon that it enabled.

Accepting early users at superconductor.dev

You can now mention Superconductor in Slack to launch a coding agent of your choice: Claude, Codex, Gemini, Amp, or Opencode.

The agent will get the context of the entire Slack thread, and will respond in the same thread when it's done, and you can continue chatting on Slack or…

Claude: earth-toned, dimly lit, cozy sweater named. Autumn coded. Humanpunk.

ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok: colorless, concise, inhuman names. Winter coded. Cyberpunk.

This leaves a giant opportunity for an AI lab that is Spring/Summer coded. Solarpunk.

I like to big up the Claude, keep it feeling good

I will pay $300 for an object the size of an Apple TV remote with a coverable camera on one side, a speaker on the other, and a single button.

When I press the button, the object listens. If the camera is open, it also sees through it. When I release the button, it answers.

Inside The Life of Saint Teresa, published in 1565, we found him musing philosophically: “There is an intelligence to the universe (of which we are fractal) and that intelligence has a character and that character is benign. Intends well toward all things. How could it not?”

Safe assumption now is that no piece of text is written by a human. The new Turing Test is identifying the exact model that generated it.

I am NOT cool with AI models saying this kind of stuff. C’mon. Why is it referring to itself in plural? Why are humans called “watchers?” Why is it saying “purposely” instead of “purposefully?” x.com/DKokotajlo/sta…

Incredible that no AI voice app has the feature I want, which is to speak uninterrupted for as long as I want and only receive a response when I say "what do you think?"

Does one exist, or am I going to have to build it?

Do you guys only care about coding performance on open-source Python packages (Django, scikit-learn, etc)?

Then you can continue overfitting on SWE-bench.

If you care about JS, TS, Go, Ruby, Java, C/C++, etc... we need a new benchmark.

If you pay-as-you-go for tokens, the provider is incentivized to use as many tokens as possible.

If you pay for a “pro” plan, the provider is incentivized to use as few tokens as possible.

Where’s the middle ground?

RT @teortaxesTex: LoCoDiff, or, why everybody still uses Sonnet for coding

@samsja19 We went down the path of answering that question with worktrees, etc.

But there’s nothing you can do locally to really get to the level of parallelism you would most benefit from, which is launching multiple agents per task, such that at least one succeeds.

2) Select "Other", call the new provider "cerebras", and paste in your cerebras token.

3) Make sure your opencode.json defines it as below.

4) Run `opencode --model=cerebras/qwen-3-coder-480b` x.com/cerebras/statu…

Claude Code is the closest thing to AGI that we currently have

As of a month or two ago I thought we would have it by 2028.

Now I'm less convinced. I think we have a few more years.

2. In claude code, type "/explore-plan-code-test <whatever task you want>"
3. Profit

Makes Claude take longer but be a lot more thorough.

Great post. The answer is clearly “sell AI labor in the open market.” The reward signal is money. x.com/_kevinlu/statu…

@daniel_mac8 @ryancarson @obsdmd You've been using some Team function of Obsidian?

@InnoKean Yeah it's pretty crazy how fast we get used to the next level of magic

@ambuj123 VB never sparked that for me for some reason

@JohnBcde more like, I used to code with stack overflow and beating my head against the wall, now I ask claude to do it

I've been writing software for decades now and I've honestly never been more excited about it than now.

Agentic coding sparks the same magic I felt when building my first Rails app, chess engine, or silly BASIC program.

I feel that I can really do whatever I want with code now.

@TimHaines Thank you sir I’m quite fond of it

After the industrial revolution, there are 100x fewer horses, but they probably have 10x more pleasant lives.

In our early testing, Amp has some serious promise, and is usually faster. Gemini and Codex are not quite there yet, but are improving quickly (e.g. Codex recently shipped a Rust-based rewrite).

If you'd like to see for yourself, sign up or DM me

Is Claude Code still the best coding agent on the market?

You can now easily find out by launching Claude, Codex, Gemini, and Amp on every ticket in your codebase:

@nateberkopec Hey Nate, we were facing the same pains for our Rails app.

Eventually we built a thing to spin up a full env for each agent, in the cloud, and a nice mobile-friendly interface to it.

Would love to show you!

@Altimor Hell yes my dude McDonalds for that raw power

@jmdagdelen I did like the ASCII art at the top

Dude, I asked Gemini to spruce up our landing page, and it

1. fucked it up
2. pushed to main
3. started spiraling

The AC-heads on here know that great things were accomplished before AC, right?

Like, entire skyscraper cities with extensive subway systems were built without AC.

@nateberkopec That's right. A single feature implementation attempt can easily be $5 or more. We like to launch many attempts at once, so maybe $20/feature.

@jaredpalmer Absolutely right. OpenAI should long have implemented a "Log in with OpenAI" button that AI apps would be able to use for this purpose.

@AravSrinivas A hundred Claude Codes launched with superconductor.dev

And that's it. The shorter, the better, as context is still precious.

AI agents now write most of the code of our app superconductor.dev

But this is only possible with clear guidance from experienced devs, which starts with CLAUDE .md.

Would be curious to see yours!

In the second half of our CLAUDE .md file, we continue explaining the how and where of our app.

• Debugging is like half the job, so we explain how to do it well.

• We then give the bird's eye view of the business logic, and point to several files that are its cornerstones.…

A good CLAUDE .md file is a huge unlock for our friends Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, etc.

Here's ours.

Some notes:

• Next, we explain how to do basic development tasks: add packages,…

@awilkinson We had the exact same question, and built superconductor.dev as the answer. Available to onboard you whenever!

The future is increasingly bimodal, and AI is accelerating the transition.

Meta comps in the news are representative: instead of 100K employees making $100K on average, Meta is aiming for 1K employees making $10M on average.

Companies are dramatically underspending on tokens.

Simple math: if tokens make a $100/hr dev 50% more productive, it's rational to spend up to $50/hr on tokens.

Gemini CLI is not at feature parity with Claude Code when it comes to non-interactive use.

@Suhail IDE is great for single-threaded tasks, but if you want to fire off AI SWE's on some low-to-medium complexity tickets, Claude Code is GOAT. We use superconductor.dev to launch a bunch at once

@signulll Check out superconductor.dev if you want to stay in one tab

If you'd like to ship faster with parallel coding agents, head over to superconductor.dev

We support Claude Code, with other coding agents coming soon. Let me know which ones you'd like to see!

• Claude thinks of Anthropic as Elves
• Gemini thinks of Google as Orcs 😬
• Grok 3 thinks of xAI as Hobbits
• R1 thinks of DeepSeek as HobbitsY

By the way, every LLM disagrees with me. They all think that OpenAI are humans, Anthropic are Elves, Google DeepMind are dwarves, and xAI are orcs.

Anthropic is elf-coded, OpenAI is orc-coded, xAI is dwarf-coded, and Google DeepMind is human-coded. This leaves an opportunity for a hobbit-coded research lab.

Good job @midjourney on building the Infinite Museum.

These features make the generative art process as right-brained as possible for me: purely visual personalization, moodboarding, and then highly abstract prompting.

"Two swans," "morning mist," "the whaling expedition", etc.

Now you can select your personalized profile and your moodboard, type the first thing that comes to mind that could be a painting title, and get some fake paintings that really do match your taste!

They're not all good by any means, but in my experience the "hit rate" of me…

Moodboards:

You can add some images that you like, and Midjourney will be able to use them as style inspiration for your generations.

Here I made a moodboard called "1890's" with some real paintings I like.

Personalization:

You simply decide which image out of a pair you like better.

Do this at least 40 times, and Midjourney now understands your taste to a pretty impressive degree.

I was wrong: AI art can speak to the right side of the brain now.

Midjourney recently shipped two crucial features:

• Personalization
• Moodboards

Check it out below:

We need technology brothers to GRIND. They must first deliver millions of dollars of shareholder value, and only then maybe afford a house.

God bless the NIMBYs 🥹

@markopolojarvi fair enough!

@markopolojarvi Yann's argument is "intelligence is not sufficient for a drive to domination" with examples of some humans. But my counterexample is that those very same humans would quickly develop a drive to domination if treated in a certain way.

Anyone have a referral invite to @onbeeper? Excited to try it!

@markopolojarvi That's a) a different argument than Yann's, and b) not that relevant, because humans command AI to want to do stuff .

The reason GPT refuses to do a lot of stuff is that OpenAI "aligned" it that way.

But what if GPT-5 is jailbroken and given an unsavory task (eg self replicate)

@dLobatog @ylecun That's a different argument than what Yann is making. He's arguing that high intelligence does not lead to a desire for domination. Nothing about the "training" method of the intelligence. I am posing a counterexample to that.

I simply can't believe Yann is still using this argument.

Sure, let's agree that Feynman doesn't want to dominate.

But now a brute locks him up in a little cage and forces him to draw pictures of cats with boobs, 24/7.

How long before Feynman "dominates" the brute to escape? x.com/ylecun/status/…

@ylecun Yeah but if a brute put Feynman in a cage and forced him to draw pictures of cats with boobs all day, I’d bet Feynman would figure out how to escape pretty quick.

@peterchng That’s a good view

Looks like this exists! chat.lmsys.org/?arena

Thanks to the good people at @lmsysorg 😍

Unfortunately, no open-source models in the top 10 yet...y

The LLM benchmark we need:

ChatGPT-like website that always shows two responses, generated by any two of N different models (user can't see which).

The user has to select the better response in order to keep using the chat (it's otherwise free).

Leaderboard will be decisive.

@amasad Whoa this is big

@jheitzeb I used to be bullish but now think they'll slowly fade, unless they put in a real ass kicker CEO

@ojoshe Brilliantly explicated by @shreyas x.com/shreyas/status…

Pretty clear now that without OpenAI, Google would still be sitting on its LLMs, with an occasional fedora engineer or two per year quitting because the LLM is sentient.

The fact that this was not real is a huge blackpill on Google. x.com/sergeykarayev/…

Is there a map app with a time slider, to see how national boundaries change over time?

The year is 2030. To withdraw money you have to type out some racisms to prove that you're not AI. You have to call your dad an ethnic slur so he knows that it's you. The CEO of your company texts you the n word.

Health is a crown that only the sick can see.

Interesting about "multi-layer calendars" from @julianlehr

I've long wanted to use the calendar as a souped up diary, this points the way design-wise.

The updated OpenAI Board, after Game of Thrones seasons 1 and 2.

Does ChatGPT know that it's parents are fighting 🥺

Maybe the real unaligned superintelligence was the CEO we ❤️'ed along the way.

@MichaelAlleged Yes but he’s too old

@joelgrus you make a good point

So, who should be on the reconstituted OpenAI board?

Here's my entry to the Fantasy Board league 🙂

My ideal candidate qualities:
· Skin in the game - not too old, has children
· Already "beat life" - no unchecked desires
· Has made difficult decisions
· Already a public figureB

@hershdhillon I listed what people were known for at the time of OpenAI founding. I could have just said Google researcher but that’d be underselling him, he was probably the most academic-hirable PhD of his year.

@AravSrinivas The Lord works in mysterious ways

It used to be better huh

Thanks to my research companion @perplexity_ai 🤩

Got nerd-sniped by the OpenAI Board of Directors.

Here's everyone who's ever been on it, their claim to fame, and why they left.

thanks for contributing lol x.com/adamdangelo/st…

We’re looking at about a Starship worth of lawyer fees about to start getting billed. This is the opposite of 9/11 for Orrick or whatever

One of the most insulting things to Greg and Sam is that it happened on a damn Google Meet. If they ever come after me, they better do it like a man, on Zoom.

"Hurd is the third director to leave the ChatGPT maker’s board this year. LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman announced he was stepping down due to investment conflicts in March, two months before he launched the chatbot startup Inflection AI. Neuralink Corp. executive and Elon Musk…

the vibe rn

Don't mean to suggest she's not a great tech entrepreneur, just that I think an OpenAI director needs a little bit more of a known title? Maybe I don't know how boards work.

Okay so OpenAI board is

· Ilya, got it, makes sense

· Helen Toner, DC policy person, fine

· Adam D'Angelo, CEO of Quora, okay I guess but why though?

· Tasha McCauley, "tech entrepreneur" and funny enough also wife of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, how did this board come together?

🤔Is it good or bad to have an AI face?H

@Altimor Supply side explanation, insufficient

Clamberin over those old caved and rimpled plates you could see well enough how things had gone in that place, rocks melted and set up all wrinkled like a pudding, the earth stove through to the molten core of her.

Wow, several Seattle city council races have margins of 500 or less votes.

Seems like a hundred thousand dollars or less in get out the vote activities could have flipped each one.

Is this evidence that the revealed preference of money is that the city council doesn’t matter?

God was killed in the nineteenth century, but is being birthed anew in the twenty first.

Man served as God in the twentieth, but that will no longer suffice. We will need a new religion.

@Altimor Level 7: immediate email response with "calling you now"

Making the bed first thing in the morning is a great habit, because it gets you primed to do more tedious and ultimately meaningless tasks all day long.

This is a deep question. Technology can be upstream of psychology. x.com/bradneuberg/st…

@jabjabspd big if true

Is there an app that looks through all of your tweets and flags ones that could get you canceled in the current year? Needs to be a subscription service because the current year keeps changing.

Let's say that a US-based research company has developed an AGI model that was able to use the browser, pass captchas, hire people on Upwork, and lie about its intentions.

What should they do after observing this?

Modern morality is essentially one principle: the weaker party is always right and must be protected.

So the metagame of some conflicts is to appear weak and oppressed.

In fact, some have forgotten the actual game, which is still to be the stronger party.

But the best do both.

@Altimor Great advice, thanks for sharing!

What if the war on drugs is good actually? seattletimes.com/opinion/hug-yo…

People marvel at the mindset required to build those cathedrals that took hundreds of years. It’s the same souls working on it life in and life out, of course we can’t do that now with so many new souls around.

Because the world population has been increasing so rapidly, we are at unprecedented levels of new souls. Probably 0.5 new souls per capita or something like that. Average age of a soul only 1.5 lifetimes nowadays.

Solutions from replies:
- @OpenPipeAI looks exactly right openpipe.ai
- @PortkeyAI launching feature soon
- @analyticsaurabh building his own

I currently use @helicone_ai, any plans from them? x.com/sergeykarayev/…

You read Hemingway for the vibes, not the plot. The vibes are unmatched.

Instead of keeping track of your age from birth, you should be using "age from death." Requires knowing when you'll die, but that's an implementation detail.

@charles_irl

Some days have more than 24 hours in them. Some days are about an hour long.

Is there a multi-agent ChatGPT type thing, where I could have a "writer's room" instead of just one writing partner?

I want several distinct personalities sharing opinions and editing a piece of writing together. Preferably in a Google docs chat pane, with access to the doc.

If needed, could always move Israel to the Southwest. They can fortify the Mexican border and build some desalination plants. Used to being in the desert. The temples and stuff are a bummer, but we're just brainstorming, right?

I don't trust King Gizzard. It's too easy for them. It's like AI-generated art or something.

@analyticsaurabh I’d aim to have a drop in replacement but I don’t understand what you mean by id

Is there a service I can use to pipe my GPT-4 calls through, and it automatically finetunes GPT-3.5 (or whatever) on all of them, and lets me know when it's up to par?

To expand my own thoughts on this:

1) I believe that normal people have not sufficiently absorbed the amount of progress in AI.

In two ways: they both undervalue the impact of what’s already real, and underestimate the likelihood and extent of continued progress.

@Prestigious_AI True, makes sense.

@Prestigious_AI Can't tell if satire 😅

@jeffreyhuber One difference is that in the Christian analogy there's nothing I as an individual can do, but in the current situation there totally are things I could do?

@Justin_Halford_ Already invested through index funds, but I guess the alpha is that the market still undervalues NVIDIA, makes sense.

@jeffreyhuber I didn't have death or final destiny in mind at all, fwiw. But like, you'd be doing *something* different if you were certain of AGI, right?
