We (mostly) like Claude Opus 4.8

Opus 4.8 + a ton of new stuff in Claude Code dropped this week, and we actually kinda like it. There's also a new benchmark that's actually good, and we have a lot of thoughts about the future of these AI labs...

Google is Not a Serious Company

Not only did Google accidentally ban Railway's account, but their new flagship model Gemini 3.5 Flash is absurdly bad. Oh and apparently Theo's building his own cloud...

How the OpenClaw creator uses $1.3 million of tokens

Peter, the creator of openclaw is apparently going through $1,300,000 worth of tokens every month. Seems like we're not using nearly enough tokens. Oh and the security psychosis is getting worse.

Anthropic solved their compute problem by buying it from Elon?

Anthropic seems to have finally solved their compute problems (kinda) by buying it from Elon, the security problem is getting so much worse, and apparently Bun's getting re-written in rust?
