1/ Last week at @aiDotEngineer, I presented the 2026 AI Engineering Survey: 1,000+ AI engineers on model selection, build vs. buy, who’s shipping with AI, and (of course) whether GPUs are going to space. This year, we ran it with @NotionHQ and @vercel. Some highlights 🧵↗

LLMs don’t “have a personality.” They navigate a low-dimensional persona space. Roughly 4–19 axes explain ~70% of role variance. Construction: which region you want (who + how) Stabilization: keeping it there when the next user turn pulls elsewhere Most persona prompts only do…↗

Four of AI's most confusing terms explained: An agent is just a model, harnessed, in an environment.↗

Today we’re introducing the OpenClaw Foundation: a nonprofit home for open, independent personal AI. A full-time team. Great partners. One mission: bring personal AI to everyone. Welcome to the age of the lobster.🦞 openclaw.ai/blog/introduci…↗

Today we're shipping spatial context. This lets you draw directly on your screen + pass it as context to the model. AI can easily analyze screenshots. But, it has no idea where exactly you want it to look. Now you can just show it. It's very intuitive. Demo:↗

For the closing keynote of WF26, @theo provokes you to think bigger: youtube.com/watch?v=xUnRQ9… In an age where most startups are just a markdown file running on a cron job now, the barrier for building platforms has collapsed. Be more ambitious.↗

Own the Outer Loop In the past year, the conversation around agentic engineering has moved to harnesses and [loops](x.com/addyosmani/article/2064127981161959567?lang=en), fleets and software factories. My 2c is engineers need to own the outer loop - the accountability for these…↗

Model and effort in Claude Code: knowing more vs. trying harder Claude Code gives you two settings that both seem to "make the answer better": the model, and the effort level. But what do these actually do to the output? And how do you know whether to reach for a different model…↗

GPT-live (next-generation voice) launches today in ChatGPT. it feels magical and 'real'. i have always preferred typing to talking to an AI, now i think that's going to shift.↗

Live tweeting video editing of my AIE talk. Swyx sent me 4 videos that are about 60GB, I also threw in my HTML deck. This is my starting prompt.↗

Introducing AI Browser Games! Watch open & closed models build small browser games head to head. Open models like Kimi K2.7 were faster, cheaper, & produced games similar to Opus 4.8. In some cases, open models were ~20x cheaper than closed ones too!↗

What The New 100x Agentic Engineer Looks Like In The Era Of Fable & GPT 5.6 # Introduction If you're lucky and are old enough to have been in the era of handwritten code, you will know that there exists the 100x software engineer. They are a class of software engineers who, th…↗

new post on harness engineering for AI self-improvement: lilianweng.github.io/posts/2026-07-… It is hard to forecast how much the future of RSI will rely on harnesses. Likely harness engineering will evolve in the direction of self-improvement and enable auto-research, and, in t…↗

Don't make the same mistakes I did. Here's a video on how to get the most out of Fable, full of real world examples of Fable helping me ship.↗

I'm betting my company on proactive agents agents that sift through 100x more data than anyone, decide what's the most critical thing to work on, and just do it I wrote down my thoughts polylane.com/blog/proactive…↗

LLM Wiki's Don't Work You read the Karpathy post. Everyone is talking about LLM Wikis. You want one too. You open Obsidian, run an LLM against your docs, and start pulling company context into one place: strategy docs, meeting notes, sales calls, product decisions, customer thr…↗

I went to Miami to chat with @thdxr, co-founder of OpenCode. We talked about the future of software engineering, coding agents, and why open source matters more now than ever. Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 5:30 Miami vs San Francisco tech scene 15:05 OpenCode origin story, scaling wh…↗

Continual Learning for Agents Everyone talks about Continual Learning as if it means one thing only: updating model weights. But there's an inconvenient truth about the agent ecosystem — the vast majority of agents in production today leverage closed frontier models. When you do…↗

Some of my favorite UI libraries: NumberFlow for animating numbers. input-otp for one-time passwords. Liveline for real-time charts. Leva for customizable GUIs. cmdk for command menus. Virtuoso for virtualization. dnd kit for drag and drop. Sonner for notifications.↗

New Anthropic research: A global workspace in language models. Of everything happening in your brain right now, only a tiny fraction is consciously accessible—thoughts you can describe, hold in mind, and reason with. We found a strikingly similar divide inside Claude.↗
