When Claude Opus 5.5 came out, I wrote about the price, the efficiency and the clearer writing (my launch take). Since then, I've used it for visual and creative work, and the results impressed me.
On 30 September, Google DeepMind announced Gemini 4 Argon, its new frontier model. Demis Hassabis called it "a huge step forward across key capabilities" on X. Koray Kavukcuoglu, who wrote the announcement, says it's already changing how Google works and builds internally.
On Sunday August 30, 2026, the OpenClaw Foundation released OpenClaw 2.0 (officially v2026.8.1). It's the largest OpenClaw release so far by a wide margin: the release notes count 16,977 pull requests, 698 direct commits and 987 contributors. That's roughly half of all the pull requests ever merged
On 16 September, Nate B. Jones posted a trick on X that got about 30K views. He says it saved him over $2K in API costs on a 68-agent build in the Codex harness, over one weekend. His recipe:
"You can now mod Claude Code." @ClaudeDevs posted that on 1 October. Claude Code Mods are out of early access, and they're on by default since v2.1.287.
Anthropic now runs a storefront: the Claude Marketplace, at claude.com/marketplace. The tagline is "Connect your apps, data and tools to Claude", and the page is split into Add, Buy and Scale:
A few days ago, I wrote about letting Claude Opus 5.5 edit one of my YouTube videos. Three posts from late September show a related pattern: people ask Claude Opus 5.5 for motion graphics, and what they get back is code that renders the video.
Anthropic published a post on getting the most out of Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude and Claude Code. It reached 229 points on Hacker News on 3 October. I found the comments more useful than the post: people tried the advice on real work and reported what broke.
It's tempting to treat the effort setting in Claude Code as a smartness knob: the task feels hard, so you turn it up. After reading Thariq Shihipar's guide and the community numbers, I think that's the wrong mental model, and an expensive one.
OWASP has a new project for anyone who connects AI agents to tools and data: the MCP Security Taxonomy. Tagline: "A common language for securing agentic AI connections, context, and capability." The repository was created in May 2026, the real content landed on August 27, and the last update is from
I published a new open source AI skill at the end of August and never announced it here. Time to fix that. It's called `technical-documentation`, and it teaches coding agents to write, rewrite and review technical documentation. It works with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, OpenCode and GitHub Copilot, h
On 2 October, @ClaudeDevs announced You Should Know, a new built-in plugin for Claude Code. The post passed 1.5 million views. It's a small feature, and it's the first built-in I'd turn on.
