A lot of people don’t realize they’re 5 hours of vibe coding with Opus 5.5 away from changing their entire financial lives

It finally happened America has entered the frontier open weights model competition. We aren't rolling over to China Reflection announced Beam, a 501B parameter open weights model that is comparable to GLM 5.2, Qwen 3.8, and Opus 4.8 Yes, Opus 4.8 on your desk You will need a decent sized machine for this. Probably the Mac Studio 512gb But if you listened to me back in January when I warned you days like today were going to come, then you're all set I stand by Opus 4.5 being the most important model release in history. We will now have a model BETTER than that on our desks If you haven't gotten into local AI yet, it's officially time to do it Take any computer you have, talk to an AI agent, ask which models you can run Never been more important to just start

If you’re using Grok Bot, Dots, Muse, or Hermes, your agent is capable of WAY more than you think You’re probably only getting 1% power out of it The best strategy for getting way more done is the ‘reverse prompting loop’ Step 1: Give this reverse prompt: “Based on what you know about me and my work, what are 5 productive things you could do for me?” Step 2: Choose 1 of them Step 3: Do this over and over again until you have a ton of work done You’ll not only be ridiculously productive, you’ll also get tasks done you’ll never think your agent could do This becomes more powerful with the more data sources you have, especially the email connector I hate being in my email. Running this loop usually takes care of all my unread emails Try this out and let me know what you think!

Grok Bot just had a MASSIVE update They added a ton of functionality including: • Dedicated email address • Opus in Grok • Cursor integration • A 'Main' bot • Much more In this video I cover all the new updates and show you two new use cases I just discovered:

You NEED to be using Meta Muse It's not only an incredible AI agent, but it's the best agent for automating your every day tasks I have basically every task I hate doing automated now In this video I go over 6 use cases for Muse that has changed my life:

This new AI agent blew my mind Hark is a proactive agent with a custom interface that completely transforms based on who you are They gave me early access a week ago and I've really enjoyed using it Here's everything you need to know about Hark:

Hark is an awesome AI agent Was lucky enough to have early access over the last week Some things I really like about it: • Best interface in agents. Period. Beautiful to look at and also completely customizable • Extremely proactive. Constantly giving you ideas on what it can do for you • Really strong browser use. Has it's own cloud computer that it gets tasks done in lightning fast Still waiting on computer use so it can manage my computers, but I'm sure that's coming soon Really enjoyed using it. Highly recommend trying it out

The Claude Bot everyone has been waiting for has arrived and it's.... Grok Bot Elon announced Grok Bot will now be powered by whatever the BEST model is for the task you're working on Ask for a super complex task? Opus 5.5 Ask for a detailed image? Midjourney Shows you how good Elon is as a business man He's not implementing competing models into Grok Bot. These are models that are running in SpaceXAI data centers due to existing Anthropic contracts If you use Grok models. Elon wins. If you don't use Grok models. Elon wins. And people say it's luck that he's a trillionaire

Deepseek just revealed every AI agent secret Incredibly important article to read if you're building anything AI agent related Here's basically everything you need to know about building a Grok Bot quality AI agent: 1. Agents are split between routers and workers. The user talks to the router, then gives the work to the workers. The router never does work. This is why the chief of staff model in Grok Bot works SO well 2. Proactive means acting on events, not chats. The agent should always be watching for events and react based on every event that comes through it. Routing to the right worker/action 3. Messages should be in a queue. Users should be able to send messages even while the agent is working, and each message queues/steers the agent 4. Besides the router and workers, there should be a watchdog layer. The watchdog makes sure the agent is always up and fixes it when there are issues. This is why Hermes succeeded and OpenClaw struggled. Constantly broke and couldn't fix itself 5. Protect human attention. Only message the user when it needs to act or the user can use the result. Lighten their cognitive load. Another thing Grok Bot is excellent at. When you message it you can be confident the next message you get will be it saying the task is complete. Carve off an hour and read this incredible article

Every AI tool you need to escape the permanent underclass: • Claude Code inside Herdr (Opus 5.5) • ChatGPT Voice to get work done while getting steps in/getting lean af • Grok Bot to for all your knowledge work • Hark for all your personal work • Hermes Agent (powered by Qwen local model) • DGX Spark or Mac Studio to run Qwen • Claude Fable for all planning and bouncing ideas • Spotify playing lofi bangers • 2nd monitor that has these agents up 24/7 Do work on 1st monitor. Constantly prompt 2nd monitor

lol outrageous OpenAI just announced the planned permanent 50% usage reduction that was planned for today isn't happening anymore. Instread they're DOUBLING limits So basically limits are 4x higher now than where they were supposed to be I was literally having Astra edit a video and my usage doubled. Was so confused This HAS to be the best value in AI right now Going to write a post later on my AI video editing workflow, but just as a preview: > Astra 6 high on ultra fast > Capcut open on 2nd monitor > Have Astra 6 use computer use to make all edits on 2nd monitor > Improve your skill as you go I tried Terra for this, just didn't work as well as Astra. And Astra on ultrafast is outrageously fast. Faster than humans OpenAI cooked

America is SO back Zuck just announced Muse Spark Open is dropping later today, built with Mac Studios in mind This is bigger than you think The Meta Muse model was trained specifically for agent tasks. Now we can run it locally, plugged into agents like Hermes This is the future of AI Local, open weights models powering local open source harnesses running on our own hardware Completely personalized, custom intelligence with complete privacy 5 years from now very person on earth will have this. Their own custom digital worker getting tasks done for them 24/7 And the best part is, it's all American made baby🇺🇸 If you haven't gotten into local models yet. NOW is the time
