Today we’re announcing our pre-seed round and a new product: @starslingdev Review Runners - code review agents that use your model key, your team’s skills and scripts, and reviewers you define, all running in GitHub Actions.
We’ve raised $3M from @BessemerVP and @ycombinator to make code verification agent-native.
code → verification (ci + code review) → production
Jev is very promising. I think @typesafeai may have found a way to make LLMs much, much better.
Will do more test but it’s fun to see what people are building with it
One interesting side effect of @OpenAI Astra CUA is that you can't watch @netflix videos on Safari. It's a blank screen.

Big milestone for BLEN.
We’ve officially been named an OpenAI Select Partner.
We’ve spent the past year building and delivering real AI solutions for federal agencies. This partnership gives our small team even more tools and support to move faster.
Proud of the BLEN team. We’re just getting started.

I’ve noticed this week that Opus 5 is spending a lot more tokens than before. Got to 77% in a few days. I’ve tested it by moving my coding tasks to Codex, but every incremental usage on Desktop app is burning way more tokens.
Is this a bug @bcherny @_catwu @AnthropicAI?

Welcome @bekacru to Vercel. It's a privilege to join forces with Bereket and Better Auth to further our Open SDK vision.
Developers deserve better auth, to serve humans and agents, built in the open and with taste. That's what Bereket has accomplished. Congrats! 🇪🇹🇺🇸
The @better_auth team is joining Vercel to accelerate open source auth for apps and agents.

StarSling Runners are now in GA! We did a ton of infra work to make our runners self-serve and are super excited that anyone can try them out now.
One customer who works with the frontier AI labs just signed up and migrated two of their most problematic workflows over to StarSling and saw an immediate 50% speedup in their jobs 🏎️
Every team should have faster, smarter, and cheaper CI.
🗣️ Starting today, StarSling Runners are generally available!
StarSling Runners are an AI-native, drop-in replacement for ubuntu-latest that make your GitHub Actions up to 6x faster and 13x cheaper 🚀
Everyone has the option of getting fast CI runners now. What nobody has is CI that adapts and improves itself.
🎉 StarSling has now run over one million CI jobs for companies like @better_auth, @mastra, Partcl, and more. If your team runs CI on GitHub Actions using ubuntu-latest, you're now just a one line change away from faster runs.

I love good essays but some are better than others. This one is breathtakingly beautiful. Thanks for sharing, @SeanTrende
I almost hesitate to promote this, because it wasn't really intended to be a piece. I just sort of sat down and it came out. Maybe someone else out there has the same type of day today, and it'll speak to them.

Is it only me or both Codex and Claude Code are flagging benign requests as cybersecurity risk? Got these two in 5 hours apart and couldn't get past it with any prompt change.
Help?
Heads up @thsottiaux @bcherny @_catwu
Love seeing /goal on @OpenAI Codex and @claudeai, but they both should give a nod to @GeoffreyHuntley a node for inventing Ralph Loop. He called it accurately in January that everything is a Ralph loop and it is. ghuntley.com/loop/
It’s easier to go heaven than trying to buy an iPhone from @Apple Store app. Yuck. Such a broken experience.
@AppleSupport help! Please fix the app
.@claudeai, @AnthropicAI I think users should be able to download designs that are done even after running out weekly limit. Right now, once you max out your weekly limit, it throws an "unconditional drop overload" error and chokes. Help.

This is really powerful. @GoogleDeepMind we would love to partner with you to bring this to a Federal client in the US. Is there a good way to get in touch?
End of an era. Officially news from @Apple: apple.com/newsroom/2026/04/t…
This greatly improves Claude Code to be more stable. I would just add auto mode by default
{
"permissions": {
"defaultMode": "auto"
},
"effortLevel": "high",
"env": {
"CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT": "1",
"CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_ADAPTIVE_THINKING": "1",
"CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY": "1",

}
