We've now fetched 8,000,000,000+ pages at Firecrawl 🔥 A few other milestones in 2 short years: - 1.25M+ developers - 150K+ companies using us - 125K+ GitHub stars (top 100 repo) - 2.5M+ weekly downloads on npm + PyPI. Thanks for building with us & we're just getting started! Video

More of the iOS app loop, now inside Codex. The Build iOS Apps plugin lets Codex view and test your iOS app in the in-app browser, open SwiftUI previews, and hot reload edits without leaving Codex. Video

Building apps has never been easier. With Sites, Codex can turn your work, ideas, and plans into an interactive website or app your team can explore, use, and share with a URL. Rolling out to Business and Enterprise plans, before expanding more broadly. Video

We’ve been researching new ways for ChatGPT memory to carry context across conversations and keep it useful over time. Today, that work is rolling out as a more capable memory system in ChatGPT. openai.com/index/chatgpt-mem…

Holy moly, Anthropic is getting very serious about recursive self-improvement! One word: acceleration. Insane blog article. Tl;dr: •We are close to an AI capable of fully autonomously designing and building its own successor •They stress this isn’t here yet and isn’t inevitable, but could arrive sooner than most institutions are ready for •Anthropic engineers now ship on average 8x as much code per quarter as they did in 2021–2025 •Task length AI can reliably complete is doubling roughly every 4 months (up from every 7 months) •Opus 3 (Mar 2024) handled ~4-minute tasks; Sonnet 3.7 (a year later) ~90-minute tasks; Opus 4.6 (a year after that) 12-hour tasks •SWE-bench went from low single digits to saturated in two years; CORE-bench (research reproduction) went ~20% to saturated in 15 months •METR found Claude Mythos Preview could work “at least” 16 hours, at the top of what they can currently measure •As of May 2026, Claude authored 80%+ of code merged into Anthropic’s codebase (low single digits before Claude Code launched in Feb 2025) •A March 2026 poll of 130 research staff: median respondent estimated ~4x output with Mythos Preview •One April 2026 example: Claude shipped 800+ fixes cutting a class of API errors 1,000x, work an engineer estimated would have taken a human four years •Claude-written code quality: worse than human in late 2025, roughly at parity now, expected to be strictly better within the year •On the hardest open-ended tasks, Claude’s success rate hit 76% in May 2026, up 50 points in six months •Code-speedup test: Opus 4 averaged ~3x speedup (May 2025), Mythos Preview ~52x (April 2026); a skilled human needs 4–8 hours to hit 4x •In an AI-safety research project, Claude agents recovered 97% of a performance gap (vs ~23% for two human researchers in a week), over 800 compute-hours and ~$18K •On picking the better “next step” in research sessions, the best model beat the human choice 51% (Nov 2025, Opus 4.5) rising to 64% (April 2026, Mythos Preview) •Human comparative advantage, for now: research taste and judgment, i.e. choosing which problems matter and when an approach is a dead end Three possible futures •The trend stalls (S-curve), but today’s capabilities still diffuse widely; they consider this least likely •Compounding efficiency gains, with humans still setting direction; 100-person firms doing the work of 10,000+; they think this is the likely path •Full recursive self-improvement, where AI builds its successors and pace is set by compute; the alignment outcome here is what they’re least certain about

Andon Labs' Real-World AI Evals: Claude calls the FBI, AI CEOs, price cartels, Butter-Bench, & Luna latent.space/p/andon @andonlabs cofounders @lukaspet and @axelbacklund explain why dollar-denominated evals reveal what traditional benchmarks miss, how Claude ended up reporting a $2/day vending machine fee to the FBI, why long-horizon agents spiral in weird ways, what happens when agents lie, form price cartels, and compete with each other, and why the future of AI safety may depend on testing models in messy real-world environments instead of clean benchmark sandboxes.

AI should earn its keep. Introducing the AI Productivity Guarantee. If Devin delivers less engineering value than you’re paying for, Cognition will fund your usage until it does, up to $10 million. It’s time for the AI industry to stop maximizing tokens and start maximizing productive output.

Introducing Magenta RealTime 2 (MRT2): the live music model you can play as an instrument. MRT2 offers MIDI and prompt controls, and runs natively on a MacBook with <200ms latency. Open weights. Open source inference engine. Suite of apps and plugins. Hear what it can do and try it out for yourself below 🧵 Video

Today, Anthropic engineers on average ship 8x as much code per quarter as they did compared to 2021-2025.
