Sounds interesting, but can't find pricing information anywhere ?

Only: > We offer a subscription model per team. Token costs for AI models (Claude, etc.) are paid directly via your own Claude subscription or API keys. Reach out for specific pricing based on your team size.

Is it "free" for single developer workflows ?

The biggest increase is LiveCodeBench Pro: 2887. The rest are in line with Opus 4.6 or slightly better or slightly worse.

but is it still terrible at tool calls in actual agentic flows?

But I will loose it all, that's why you should bookmark everything, have terminal bookmarks of paths, use git worktrees to allow leaving workspace messy. Use a lot of notion docs, .md docs, notebooks. Places where you organize stuff, so that you can come back easily when you need it again.

I started working on a task management app that could handle the massive amounts of context switching I do on a daily basis - aggregated over slack, iOS reminders, Jira, linear, and obsidian... I'm glad I'm not alone in having such crazy environment.

Does anyone find that agents just don't use them without being asked?

I often find they aren't triggered when I would expect using a keyword and explicitly trigger them.

I’ve seen this cycle before: Delphi promised everyone could write programs. Visual website builders “killed” web development. No-code/low-code tools claimed to change everything.

Now it’s 2026, and the hype is Vibe Coding: describe a feature in plain English, and watch hundreds of lines of code appear per minute. No coding, no engineering—just steering a vibe.

It feels magical. But as someone who’s cleaned up after plenty of “miracles,” here’s the catch: technical debt never disappears, it compounds. AI-generated code is a high-interest loan, and most teams are not ready to pay it back.

I'm curious: How is the community handling AI-generated code, velocity without understanding, and the hidden debt?

In the hands of SWEs that understand what to prompt, it's significantly better than overseas code from "seniors" who clearly are juniors being billed at senior rates.

I like this, but would note that each of this is effectively nagging you to do something.

I wonder if the real unlock is moving the task forward in some way. “I know you were interested in X, and the research approach petered out, here and some new approaches we could try:”

“You’ve got two kids’ birthdays next week, shall I order some legos?”

I've started using Claude code to review my linear tasks, add / propose new tags/labels and flag if it's a programming task (and if so flesh out requirements so I can toss it to an agent). It really helps me to just toss everything into it and see what I've got.

I'm actually going to take it further and use clawd to check Jira, linear, slack, and Apple reminders and help me to unify and aggregate them - as I'll often remember and record a reminder on Siri - and kind of ping me about these and adjusting dates when they're overdue so nothing slips through too past due

Baffling.

Isn't this just a basic completion loop with toolcalling hooked up to a universal chat gateway?

Isn't that a one shot chatgpt prompt?

(Yes it is: https://chatgpt.com/share/6976ca33-7bd8-8013-9b4f-2b417206d0...)

Why's everyone couch fainting over this?

It's good at making new skills for itself, and the ability to add to WhatsApp, telegram, and discord means sharing access to internal applications and not needing users to get onto VPN makes a great combination.

Is this replacing the one-time purchase of these apps on macOS?
shmoogy · 2 months ago
Doesn't sound like it > Alternatively, users can also choose to purchase the Mac versions of Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator Pro, Logic Pro, Motion, Compressor, and MainStage individually as a one-time purchase on the Mac App Store.5

Wonder how this will work to connect into hotel networks - on my glinet I have to clone my iPhone MAC address so I basically have to connect to the WiFi, do the with authentication enter room number and last name, then disconnect and boot up the router.

Is there a better way to get these connected to a WiFi for relaying where the Ethernet isn't an option?

it's dead in the water

I dont think it's safe to say that a multi-billion dollar revenue product line, even if underperforming expectations is dead in the water.
