@getindigo HQ is hands down the best way to work with Codex and Claude Code. It started as a folder on my desktop to manage agents and run Ralph Loops, aptly named "HQ" (s/o @GeoffreyHuntley + @mattpocockuk ) I put everyone on the @LiveRecover team on HQ and then all of our developers switched to HQ for code once they saw the output I was getting as a non-developer Then I met @jacob_posel and we built out the full cloud ecosystem to turn this into a shared operating system for your company, building along the way: - Easy way to /deploy mini sites, decks, reports with shareable links+access control - /hq-secrets to enable secret sharing across team and agents without env files - /hq-sync to enable both personal sync across devices and for teams to share skills, commands, projects, etc. Future of AI is here.

it's the weekend. time to play. built in @HQForWork
This is what an opus 5.5 output looks like. 2 prompts and it created a fully functioning, fun game. It is a medieval zoo tycoon. There is an economy. You set prices for everything. You build attractions. You buy mythical beasts. It has a full terrain builder. You build streets, fences, shops. You need to keep the beasts happy and alive. You need to hire staff, put the right food and water in the enclosures. I would have totally paid for this as an iPhone app 2 years ago. and it was made for like $30 in tokens. Link below to play it. HOSTED AND SHARED ON HQ! The easiest way to turn Claude projects into multiplayer experiences.

Opus 5.5, you did this... all this with JavaScript? @AnthropicAI knows how to do two things really well: ship insanely cool models and produce absolutely gorgeous launch videos. We made ours too, with Claude Opus 5.5, as a reply. All code. No Imagine MCP this time. So many of you are making videos with JavaScript now. It's no Seedance, but they can look far more cinematic than most people think. Let us put you on (before Opus 5.5 gets nerfed):
Introducing Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in our new Claude 5.5 family. It performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 for most tasks, and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5.

I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to compose piano music. Animation drawn using JavaScript.

some rough draft thoughts as to where 2026 and beyond is going. I know I'm kind of beating my own drum by the fact that I work at the only company (@AntithesisHQ) that has a deterministic hypervisor and fuzzing that's able to stress test a unit of work to see if the properties of a system hold true even in the worst of scenarios. but I wouldn't have joined these folks if it my thoughts as to the future didn't align. The generation of code is solved. I know it may hurts some feelings to say this, but deep down you know it to be true. What is not solved is ensuring that the software is correct, also known as verification. AI cannot verify itself. It just can't. The state space between your application in development versus running in production is just so massive. Just because it compiles doesn't mean it works. I'm getting back on the conference circuit again. What follows is a slide that I put together that focuses on definition of agentic back pressure, how do do it and where people should be placing their energy to keep these autonomous ralph loops (or loops in general) on the rails. Thoughts?

💯. The main reason Plunge uses HQ is having an agnostic source of truth. After being a Codex soldier for 3 months, I’m going back to Claude with little lost context.

finally explaining HQ
Hey Andrew, HQ uses markdown as the knowledge layer, so there is overlap, but differs in some key ways HQ allows you to sync and share that context layer across your team or external providers HQ gives you access control (read and write) throughout the entire vault HQ allows you to connect all your systems through MCP or API and share those with your team, with the same permissions scoping HQ allows you to deploy custom applications, replacing the need for Vercel or Netlify HQ allows you to deploy agents running in virtual machines, inheriting that context + credentials to autonomously work for you HQ gives you a platform agnostic skill management platform for your team HQ has an MCP to allow your team members not using Claude Code/Codex/Cursor to get value out of the tool HQ gives you a messaging layer between all your team mates, and agents (and external agents like grokbot, muse) to allow multiplayer/collaboration HQ has a core harness which we've spent a lot of time refining to optimize the memory and collaboration system If its easy to do yourself, I'd love to chat. Because we have spent a tonnnnn of time and resources trying to build a good product, so I'm sure I have a lot to learn :)

Still the coolest endorsement of anything I’ve ever worked on
Jacob is doing some great groundwork on HQ but lets not turn this into a fermat we gotta explain what it does. What the hell is HQ? You know all that cool shit you are making in claude? How do you get your employees to see it and use it in their version of claude? how do you make sure the whole team has the latest projects, folders, files, skills, assets, etc. And what if you hate claude now and want to try codex? How do you port all that shit over? your apis, your connectors, everything and how do you do it for YOUR ENTIRE ORG? HQ does that its one of those weird little pieces of ai infrastructure that ends up being bought for a billion dollars

Everyone worried about building a vertical harness, gpt wrapper, or agentic service business getting replaced by frontier model companies—remember: The worlds best AI researchers when given the power of AGI, will use said power solely to create video games Get out and build 😭💪
There is an abandonware game I loved as a kid called Rescue Raiders. I asked Claude to create a modern & updated version of the game with new graphics, goals, tech trees, etc. It iterated back-and-forth with critic & art agents until I got this. Its fun! rescue-raiders.netlify.app/

What is something that you’d love to automate?
With AI, anyone can build anything. That does NOT mean everyone should build everything, especially on their own. That’s why my brother Mike and I started 2690. We’re an AI implementation + custom software agency for growing consumer brands. 🔽
