I jump on a call with my Grok Bot on my drive to work, it builds and deploys a completed project for me to try when I arrive. I ask it to find a good domain name in my budget, it starts emailing people to get me a rare URL. It honestly feels like having a real coworker working around the clock to help make my vision a reality. There’s never been a better time to be a creator.
You can now build live apps in Cursor and share them with a link. Agents have made it easier to write code, but most apps never make it off localhost. Describe the tool you want - Cursor will build it, set up a database, run deterministic and agentic security checks, and deploy.

It’s honestly so refreshing to read an article that’s just pure technical excellence. A hard problem, solved by a team of exceptional individuals, all working in the same direction.
The web rewrite is working. On a slow connection, the old X web took more than 22 seconds to show the first post on a profile. The new X web does it in 2.7 seconds. Here's how we did it, and how we're rolling it out one country at a time. blog.x.com/en/engineering/re…

Bot has this bias for action that makes it feel like the most fearless coworker you’ve ever worked with. So much work is needless friction, bot finds the path of least resistance and grinds through tasks until they’re complete. Feels like a new era of productivity.
Grok Bot can now make phone calls.

I’ve been having Grok @bot decorate my office as a way to dogfood the new shopping features we just shipped! It got itself this little expressive orb that runs when a bot is working.

It’s been a pleasure building out the new shopping experience in Grok Bot! 🛍️ We’ve been stressing the details to help bot get you the best possible deals and we’re only just getting started. Ask @bot to buy something and give us your feedback!

Using Grok Bot as my always-on domain broker

I asked @bot to help me save some money. It scanned all my finances for the last 6 months and found over $7k that I was mistakenly double-charged, across two different accounts, over 3 months ago. Bot gave me a button to press and a script to read and I got all my money back. Crazy to think that now with the phone calling feature in bot, it could've did all of this without any human in the loop. Now that I have an always-on financial auditor, I'm never going back.
Asked @bot to audit my finances and it found a motel in Palo Alto that double charged me $7,070.30 It also recommended I move all my liquid cash into 𝕏 money because 6% APY is nuts. I can’t stress this enough — the more bots you have looking over your finances, the better.

We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math. It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training. We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵 Blog: rikiyat.github.io/blog/weigh…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
LLM was given weights explicitly as text in prompt and used code/forward passes (per authors' logs) to ablate Qwen looping direction, a known thinking-mode issue per model card. Primarily fixed repetition in that mode, not general 'natively' improving weights/math. rikiyat.github.io/blog/weight-sp… github.com/RikiyaT/lm_und… huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.5-0… huggingface.co/RikiyaT/Qwen3.…
