If Anthropic is merging more than 30,000 code changes per day, why aren't the GitHub issues being assigned and addressed?
This is a great question on r/ClaudeAI.
I think there's a bigger question:
Why aren't Anthropic triaging this with a software factor?
There's a risk that the issues could be used for prompt injection, but you'd have thought if any organisation has the expertise to build a software factory that can review the issues, filter out the risky ones and assign the ones that matter to either another agent or a human for further review fix, it would be Anthropic.
Building such a software factory and letting us see it work would make a better marketing case study than claiming to be merging 30,000 PRs per day!

Do you all realize what is happening?
Science is becoming privatized.
Theoretical science is increasingly becoming compute-driven, and similarly, experimental science will increasingly become robotics-driven.
Both increase the role of capital and reduce the role of talent. Ergo, fewer and fewer humans are going to be needed to do frontier science.
And when fewer humans are needed, global collaboration becomes less critical. The days of science as a public, academic good - with papers being transparently published on Arxiv and open journals might be coming to an end.
Now, in a globally open economy, this might have been alright, but fundamentally, this puts every country except US and China in a difficult spot. This includes India, UK, Japan, Korea etc. Geopolitical turmoil makes it even more obvious.
Notice how every single scientist that OpenAI is collaborating with for reviewing their latest AI-led science, is based in the US.
Will it be wise for Indian nuclear physicists to use ChatGPT models for their scientific analysis? All secrets are lost when you use cloud-based LLMs.
Some are starting to recognize this. (See @UKSovereignAI). I think we will see similar response from almost all of the top 10 countries.
Science, after all, is power.
Announcing three major scientific discoveries, one each in mathematics (harmonic analysis), computer science (complexity theory), and physics (quantum field theory).
AI starting to help us improve our understanding of the universe! openai.com/index/building-sc…

We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.

Bangalore produces around 7,000 tonnes of waste a day, roughly 3,000 tonnes of that is wet waste. All of it has to be collected, segregated, and processed every single day. A lot of it still ends up badly treated or in a landfill.
We got to know the @HasiruDalaInnov team a few years ago. They've spent years doing the thankless part of this, collecting and segregating waste at scale. But wet waste has remained a problem. Dry waste has buyers. Wet waste goes bad too quickly to store, and composting it usually loses money.
@carbonmastersuk takes that wet waste and turns it into biogas you can cook with. More importantly, they've made a business out of it.
Put the two together, and it's fairly obvious. Hasiru Dala has the waste and knows how to sort it. Carbon Masters knows how to generate economic value out of it by generating biogas and organic manure.
This problem goes beyond Bengaluru's garbage. India imports about 60% of our LPG and half our natural gas. Turning our own waste into fuel is about as self-reliant as it gets.
We need more people working on hard problems like this. That’s also why we’ve backed both Hasiru Dala Innovations and Carbon Masters through @Rainmatterin.
We spent some time at their Harohalli plant to understand how it all fits together for our latest Rainmatter Original. If you've ever wondered where the waste from our homes actually goes, this is worth a watch (full episode link in comments).🙂

Quick Superlogical demo to end the week. This demo is just of the basic functionality, but I want to highlight just how FAST it is. There's a WHOLE lot more functionality already present and coming but I wanted to keep the demo short. But seriously, check out that speed.
I'm showing the macOS app here and I get asked a lot so let me just say up front: its not macOS only. We're still figuring out exactly what platforms will be stable enough for the initial public release, but we're working on others. In particular, the web interface is very functional but I'll demo that another time (or someone else will).
This is also all showing off the architecture I previously talked about for terminal multiplexing which is significantly different from other mainstream multiplexers: this is all a custom binary protocol where the server is maintaining N replica distributed terminal state machines. It works!
Tons of hard work going into this by the team @almonk @dizzyup @pearkes. Hope we can bring you something you can use soon. ❤️ Happy to answer questions in the replies.

Fable one-shotted a Rust rewrite of the TerminalTextEffects Python library in 11M tokens. Startup time went from 87ms to 2ms and rendering speed is up by 9.6x. Now zero dependencies and a 3mb single exec 🤯 claude.ai/code/artifact/2878…

New in Claude Code: your sessions can now message each other.
Instead of having to re-explain yourself in another session, you can now tell Claude to do it. It sends a summary (not your history or files), and the other session picks it up mid-task.

Testing some UI. Not Ghostty btw (but, libghostty). Not ready to talk more yet, but sharing things I'm excited about. Plenty more details soon.

This is why competition leads to much better outcomes for customers and consumers, in general
If it was not for GPT-5.6 released a few days ago, Anthropic would have most likely removed Fable from most paid plans, and charged $$$ for access
But with GPT-5.6 out, they cannot

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s bat swing has been outstanding. What’s even more remarkable is how beautifully he clears his front foot to create room for balls aimed at his legs. This freedom allows him to play the way he does.
That innings was nothing short of spectacular!

Open letter to Indians in America.
--
Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat:
Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way.
Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned.
You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict.
Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect.
Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself.
As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal.
Respectfully
Sridhar Vembu

Turns out with claude code, my decades long strategy of NOT deeply learning:
- regexs
- sql
- nginx confs
- elaborate shell commands
- advanced shell scripting
- any javascript framework
- perf optimization
- webpack, cdns, bundlers
- 1000 other things
...was entirely correct.
