  • Is there a mature centralized platform, self hosted, that sync all your “AI stuff” across multiple devices? So regardless of the harness, it sync the api keys, providers, skills, and seasons for starters with other authenticated machines? Say you used codex on macos_1 through this platform, and later you used opencode on linux_3, it syncs everything to the new machine, no ssh to centralized machine, no git, none of that duct tape solutions, which they work but cumbersome.
  • To Anthropic: I hope you don't merge Claude Code and chat, I like keeping their memory separate.
  • Most normal users have no idea whether to choose chat or cowork. This makes sense for 95% of customers.
  • A bit meta, but this is one of the first posts in Anthropic's official blogs I've read that has distinctively Claude-style prose, thought less prominent than usual:

        What Claude makes doesn’t need its own place either.
    
        Enterprise admins choose when to turn them on
    
        the frustrating part was deciding where a task belonged
    
        What they’d started in one also didn’t carry into the other
    
    And the unnecessary school-project level verbosity:

        You can choose how Claude checks in with you. By default,
        Claude asks before taking an action. If you’d rather let it
        keep working and check in only when something needs a closer look,
        you can turn that on. You keep the final say.
  • Hi, this is my team! Happy to answer any questions.

    There's a lot in this launch, but the core idea is to simplify the product while giving users access to more capabilities. You no longer need to know ahead of time how much work a conversation might involve. If you're at your computer, Claude can use your local files and apps. If you close your laptop, Claude can keep working on its own computer.

    This launch also lets you use Claude Design, Claude Docs, and Claude Slides directly from conversations. That's possible because we made Artifacts much more powerful: whenever Claude makes you an app, website, design system, or anything else, it can deploy an artifact with multiplayer features and databases.

    As many of you probably know from your own work, giving users more power while making the experience simpler is really, really hard. It took many iterations to get to this version. We're far from done, but I expect people will be able to do much more while having to think about it less.

  • These kinds of updates always have this romantic scenario of someone having Claude develop a presentation or something on their way to work between multiple devices, which actually feels a little sad and does not align with what happens in my life at all.
  • How did this new account `vertigoruntime` get three posts on the front page, all in the last day?

    based on their account submission history they have a 25% hit rate (!) Seems very, very weird.

  • People keep asking for this w/ Codex, too, and I really regret that both labs seem inclined to listen.

    If you ask a thinking/research type question in 'Chat' versus 'Work' mode in these products -- say, something complex about politics, or do a multiturn business strategy, or want to work thru a new concept, you get very different answers.

    The harness, steering, etc. in the chat/reasoning products is so much better for this type of question (that doesn't require code as a primary substrate).

    Even as someone who mainlines like, 7 coding agents at all times, I regret that productivity fever will mean the regression of think-first-act-later AI UX.
