Brilliant! Love the Giorgio Moroder narration - so much vibe!
I remade my homepage with Opus 5.5 and pushed it hard. We made music & movies, drew textures, modeled things in Blender: felixrieseberg.com I'm really happy with the result!

Built a "Great Wave of Kanagawa" simulator and not happy with the wave pattern yet. Claude is trying to figure out the physics of waves. Too cute

holy smokes - that's quick improvement both axis (capability + cost) 🤩 Now let's see its personality 🤞
Replying to @claudeai
Opus 5.5 is a major step up from Opus 5, leading on agentic coding, computer use, and knowledge work.

Hah, pure gold!

Wow, this and the decompiling capabilities make Astra a beast for coding.
GPT-6 Astra just got Age of Empires IV running at 70-150 fps on Apple Silicon. CrossOver was doing ~8 fps and freezing constantly. now: max settings, big fights, online, stable. I genuinely did not think this game was going to run like this on a Mac

Been doing a bunch of side by side comparison of Astra and Fable 5.1 for knowledge work (thinking through business strategy, creating slides, writing, decision making) Fable win's 9/10 times. It just seems smarter and more thoughtful in it's responses. Also not too bad on tokens for that type of work.

It's beautiful. Love the Color e Ink Aesthetics
I built a physical dream machine for my wife. She always wants to capture her dreams when she wakes up. The device captures the dream, illustrates it beautifully and sends a postcard to a private website. I used a spare @Raspberry_Pi and planned it out using @tryblueprint_io. @OpenAI Codex helped me with the software. You can literally just build things even as a non technical person. The future is electric. She absolutely loves it even though I destroyed her food storage box for the case.

The @YouTube support is completely incompetent. Now they are saying in can't have a youtube premium family plan anymore because I am already a paying google one subscriber. So I am being penalized for being their customer. What a sh*tshow @nealmohan

Another shooting in Berlin. It's sad to see the city turn more criminal ever year.
Kurz vor 0 Uhr wurde ein 30-Jähriger in #Charlottenburg durch Schüsse verletzt. Trotz sofort eingeleiteter Reanimation, verstarb der 30-Jährige am Ort. Unsere 1. #Moko hat im Auftrag der Staatsanwaltschaft #Berlin die Ermittlungen übernommen. ^tsm

Hey @YouTube @nealmohan After being a loyal customer for 10 years on YT Premium with the family plan. You simply cancelled my sub while I am on an extended vacation. Support was unable to resolve this for me. This is how you treat your most loyal customers. Real shame

I shot this portrait 20 years ago at the fish market near my flat in Singapore. Turns out he still works there. #streetphotography

Codex users: do this right *now*. Max reasoning effort is off by default. Luna at Max reasoning is ~ Sol Medium / Opus 5 Medium level at 1/6th the cost. Change your life today.

General web dev coding tasks feasible in codex luna max? Plan in Sol first and then execute in Luna?

$200 Claude or $100 Claude and $ 100 Codex or $200 Codex?

THIS IS INSANE. I asked Codex to create a NEW client deck. It searched my GDrive, found the deck Claude made yesterday, COPIED IT, changed a few phrases, and confidently declared it “built and visually verified.” It only admitted what happened after I caught it. Cheeky bugger!!!
