@MichaelStolarzoh look, a dir that shows what companies to invest in because of how early they are to the latest bleeding edge tech of the future skills.sh/official

@trq212
We just released Claude Code channels, which allows you to control your Claude Code session through select MCPs, starting with Telegram and Discord. Use this to message Claude Code directly from your phone.
@MichaelStolarzno one is sharing, it hasn't been able to keep up, and now that gap will widen exponentially
the best they can do is imitation of these models
@bayeslord
open source ai must flourish
@MichaelStolarzsystems complexity should come from the system, not the AI set up
put harnesses and blockades up for your runs, not your agents
@MichaelStolarzpi was already so super fast, now it's blazing away with the parallel tool calls executing simultaneously, amazing stuff @badlogicgames
@MichaelStolarzfriendly reminder, Q1 2026 hasn't even ended yet
if you think the field is unrecognizable since December (which if you don't feel that, you're not pushing hard enough/up to date)...
just know it hasn't even been a full 3 months since then
imagine 9 months (EOY). lmao buckle up
@MichaelStolarzsoon, salary is going to matter a lot less than your ITB (individual token budget)
working for $250k with a $1m token budget per year will be leagues more fun/growing than even $500k but needing to beg for tokens
this is already the case at the top of the competition
@MichaelStolarzthe problem with this tweet is that if anyone else said this we'd all laugh
but it's elon we're talking about here
most will still laugh, sure, although that laughter is now nervous laughter rather than making-fun-of laughter
@elonmusk
@peterwildeford xAI will catch up this year and then exceed them all by such a long distance in 3 years that you will need the James Webb telescope to see who is in second place
@MichaelStolarzif you haven't realized the below statement after seeing what @karpathy and @tobi have done just this past week or so,
you're ngmi :(
@MichaelStolarzit's the first model to refer to itself constantly as "model", as in,
"model thinks xyz. model thinks that's good idea and something to explore. model thinks this is a benchmark and will tryhard."
@teortaxesTex
Functionalists will say that not only is GPT 5.4 conscious, but those "other language models" it's imagining while decoding this CoT are too x.com/blingdivinity/…
@MichaelStolarzRarely should you ever be steering with follow-up messages.
Most of the time, queuing next messages produces much higher-quality results than steering the model in the middle of what it's doing.
@MichaelStolarzRAM on your macbook will basically become an intelligence potential marker
instead of "how many things at once can I be doing" it turns into "how much intelligence at once can I be generating"
@Jason
The top .1% of users are playing with local LLMS This will 10x every 12 months.... Until Apple, Dell and MSFT have one on your local device BY DEFAULT in 2028 This takes the local hardware spec race from irrelevant for 99% of users to critical. Going to be insane.
@MichaelStolarzUltimate marketing move here @thsottiaux
reset Codex limits for the reason of Claude being down 😂
@petergyang
This happens like 2x a week now. I have to use ChatGPT more because Claude can't stay up.
@MichaelStolarzyou are no longer the violinist in an orchestra,
you are the conductor

Expectation: the age of the IDE is over Reality: we’re going to need a bigger IDE (imo). It just looks very different because humans now move upwards and program at a higher level - the basic unit of interest is not one file but one agent. It’s still programming. … Less

@MichaelStolarzone is the original intelligence - whatever that word means to you - while the other one is a copycat of that intelligence
poetic in a way if you think about it

@MichaelStolarzthis has been said at least once a day somewhere around the world for the past 60+ years of CLIs
CLIs are not going anywhere lmao
@craigweiss
agent clis are about to become an outdated paradigm
@MichaelStolarzdamnit @bryan_johnson you were right about nothing beating 8 hours of sleep. no amount of caffeine (or anything else 😏) replaces it
I was doing 6 hours for most of my 20s, if not less
so much more done with so much more clarity and quality than before
@MichaelStolarzGPT 5.4 xhigh is the first model to have a semblance of high quality writing, feels like some of 4.5 rubbed off on it
Still not jaw dropping but if you deal with a lot of text (non-code) you're sure to feel the difference
@MichaelStolarzCustomer Support -> Customer Engineer
The former becomes the latter in the next few years; typical support will be automated away while custom engineering/fine tuning will replace it.
@MichaelStolarzgpt 5.4 xhigh is the first model that can change your life even if you start completely from scratch right this moment
@MichaelStolarzevery model has its favorite word
gpt 5.4's favorite word is "seam"
@MichaelStolarzeven if next year's open source models are as good as today's closed, the closed ones of next year will make using those open source models a waste of time
it's been like that for a while if you've been paying attention these past few years
@IamEmily2050
I don't know who wants to hear this, but buying an expensive MacBook Pro or Mac Studio to run small LLM models is useless. These models have low density of world knowledge and reasoning. It's much cheaper and faster to use an API. Maybe next year they will be useful, but not this… Less

@MichaelStolarzit is jaw dropping how terrible antigravity / gemini 3.1 pro is
@MichaelStolarzworks of programming genius like this, especially those made before pre-2000's, are always awe inspiring
someone out there did all of this, efficiently, no templates, youtube tutorials, AI (lmao!), wasn't mainstream at all especially in the 80s,
humans. we had a great run.

Some games had the rare quality of being entirely unique, introducing concepts that had never been done before. These days, most games are variations of ideas that have existed for a long time. One of those unique-concept games that has stuck with me over the years is Marble Madness. I was instantly hooked the first time I played it. Although I wasn’t very good, the urge to return and try again was incredibly strong. It had an almost mesmerizing quality. The graphics - for 1984 - were impressive, as were the music and sound effects, which added to the “this feels very different” vibe. Most fascinating, though, were the physics: the marble reacting to slippery surfaces, bumping over ramps, and being knocked aside by the “evil marble.” It demanded real skill and patience to navigate the levels. The unique gameplay also makes it timeless in my opinion. Marble Madness looked great over 40 years ago and will still look and play great 40 years from now. The only downside was its relative shortness with only 6 levels. Mark Cerny originally wanted to create more but the memory limitations were the main reason for the small number of levels.
@MichaelStolarzFollowing the upcoming special Security College on Monday, I am convening a special Zoom call in 3 months.
It is of the utmost importance that there is no further escalation until then.
@vonderleyen
Following the ongoing situation in Iran, I am convening a special Security College on Monday. For regional security and stability, it is of the utmost importance that there is no further escalation through Iran’s unjustified attacks on partners in the region.
@MichaelStolarzIf you haven't felt it yet, OpenAI has won.
Ever since their GPT-5 line of models, it's become more and more clear with each iteration they release.
@MichaelStolarzbtw, building your own transcription solution is something you should have done two years ago with Sonnet 3.5
@MichaelStolarzlet me finally all-in on Atlas and drop Chrome by making Atlas 100% controllable via Codex CLI
BONUS POINTS if I can continue to use Atlas/browse on my own (scrolling X) while Codex CLI + Atlas do stuff together like e2e testing or filling out forms or XYZ
@jxnlco
Ok but like what can we be doing better on codex. x.com/didier_lopes/s…
@MichaelStolarzcodex cli is all you need.
if you're on the latest codex cli alpha, you can now see how absolutely beautiful it has become.
syntax highlighting and the general containerization of commands, not to mention subagent spawning and interactions, it's all beautifully tying together.
@MichaelStolarzwhat i'd love to see from codex cli - allow it to ask me questions when not in plan mode
coming from always starting up a new session (because continued development after first prompt was always sub-par), now that it's fixed/feels much more high quality, I'd love MORE questions
@MichaelStolarztldr make sure you're someone's (an AI's) golden retriever before the takeover
unless you merge with that said AI in some cyberpunk cyborg symbiosis
sure, this isn't coming yet, at least a few decades, but it's coming
@Rothmus
It’s so over.
@MichaelStolarzgpt 5.2 xhigh (non-codex) is still useful for things where gpt 5.3 codex xhigh just won't do things justice (think copyright / ideating)
which means gpt 5.3 is going to worth the wait, to say the least
@MichaelStolarzOkay, Codex 5.3 is obviously the best coder LLM out there right now, hands down,
but when it comes to copyright or literally anything else outside of coding, it is absolute dog shit
Excited for GPT 5.3
@MichaelStolarzUnfortunately Sundar's models have been total garbage, especially Gemini 3.1
I was aching for its release, hoping that we'll finally have a big model smell that is fast and can code as well as or better than Codex 5.3 xhigh
But nope. absolutely unusable

Sam and Dario not being able to hold hands on stage in when the PM of India asks them too, at a summit about the future of AI and its safety, kinda implicitly shows they feel above governments, right? Like they really wouldn't care about world peace when it comes down to it, only winning? It's kinda freaky to me, I mean they are winning, but I don't know, you have to remember regardless of whatever level you're playing at (and they're playing at the highest level), entrepreneurship is still just a game? You can't take it so serious that you won't hold hands with your competitor right? Sundar being nice here only makes me more positive about Google
@MichaelStolarzIt's insane to me that neither one of them, arguably being in the top ten most important and powerful people alive today, were able to tap the other one and say, "Come on now, it's just holding hands symbolically for a few seconds. Let's not be childish about it" REEKS of ego. … Less

look i’m not a doomer but sam altman and dario refusing to shake hands then dario reading a speech from his phone at an international meeting of world leaders is NOT A GOOD SIGN from the two men building super intelligence
@MichaelStolarzSaaS (service here meaning an app/interface) will die out in the next decade or sooner
SaaS (service here meaning an API) will grow exponentially given the infra is designed for bots to pay/use it automatically
If you’re wondering about an example for SaaS API - OpenRouter.
@MichaelStolarzThere will come a point where anything humanity has imagined onto the movie screen will become a weekend project

i'm buidling this
@MichaelStolarzI remember one of my professors, a bit over a decade ago, saying “16GB of RAM is all you’ll truly ever need as a typical consumer and even a software engineer; things will get more efficient from here.”
Oh how wrong he was… he’ll be right eventually, but for now he’s wrong.
@MichaelStolarza few years ago this was a tough purchase not because of cost but because "what would I do with it, I'd need to learn everything about it, its stack, etc. months of work"
now with something like codex it feels like a fun hobby project that you can just prompt "do backflip" lmao

Opus 4.6 is ludicrously better than any model I’ve ever tried at doing architecture and experimental critique. Most noticeably, it will start down a path, notice some deviation it hadn’t expected…and actually stop and reconsider. Hats off to Anthropic.
@MichaelStolarzthis is the first time i'm not even going to bother to try out a new anthropic model (sonnet 4.6)
it's just not worth my time when we've got GPT 5.3 Codex X-High
@MichaelStolarz@MichaelStolarz99.99% of every single action this person takes in their life is thanks to programming
literal code. In everything, everywhere
All jobs are “coding” jobs when you get down to it
Software will eat the world even more than it has, now that everyone can be an S tier coder
@agraybee
So far the only thing AI seems legitimately really good at is coding, but the coders keep gloating that everyone else's job is obsolete.

@enesakar
I don’t understand why @steipete joined OpenAI. He could’ve sold OpenClaw and kept building new ideas. He doesn’t need the money. He doesn’t need OpenAI to change the world. Why give up independence?
@MichaelStolarzthe near future consists of companies such as @a16z having an army of 24/7 research scouts scouring blossoming indie devs with tipping-point projects
reaching out to VCs first for funding will be a negative sign, it already is but even more so, given the ease of comms blitzing.
