Delta, Chase and Amazon are blocking AI agents. The war on agents has begun, and here’s how it probably plays out: Stage 1: Companies block agents because agents skip the ads and upsells. Stage 2: Agents learn to act like humans, and it becomes an arms race. Stage 3: The market splits. Companies that make money on sales let agents in, companies that make money on data charge for access, and the giants build their own agents. Stage 4: A trusted middle layer for agent identity and payments becomes the standard way in. Stage 5: Companies that welcome agents start winning customers from the ones that block them. Stage 6: The agent blockers come back and let agents in on their own terms. Stage 7: Everyone starts competing for agents with better prices, faster checkout and SEO built for agents. Stage 8: The ads come back, and companies pay to be your agent’s first recommendation. Stage 9: The agent war ends, and selling to agents becomes as normal as having a website.
notice.. > Delta is blocking AI agents from booking flights > JPMorgan Chase and Charles Schwab block agents from accessing accounts > Yelp requires paid data licensing for agents > Amazon has blocked Grok bot and other shopping agents. the internet is starting to block AI agents that were supposed to do everything for us

New on our Engineering blog: Creating in-house source control. In May, we merged around 2,500 code changes per day. In September, we merged more than 30,000 per day. As a result, we became bottlenecked by developer infrastructure built for human (rather than agent) scale. Here, we share how we built a new version control system—and fully migrated our monorepo from git—in five months: anthropic.com/engineering/re…

We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices. We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a specific employee had planted it a few days earlier. We referred the matter to the FBI, and we’re grateful to the agents and prosecutors who moved quickly to make an arrest. The FBI’s investigation is ongoing and we will continue to support their work. At this time, we have no indications of this individual inappropriately accessing or exfiltrating model weights, source code, or customer data. The employee was terminated. We take protecting our technology, data, and people seriously, and as a matter of national importance. Our security program is designed to protect against a wide range of threat actors, from insider risks to cybercriminals to nation states, and this case is an example of how AI can help address these sophisticated security threats.

My bet would be Muse is going to win
Meta Muse's retention is out, and it's almost as good as ChatGPT! It's higher than ChatGPT at D7 (>30%) and just lower at D14 (22%). Not quite in the elite D14 tier of WA (67%) YT (59%) Insta (54%) or TikTok/Snap (37%), though. Muse is one of the highest retaining AI products!

Meta has released Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, achieving Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.3 scores of 52 and 56 at max reasoning effort - each a material gain over Muse Spark 1.3 (max) at 48, with a release gap of only 6 weeks Muse Wonder is available for users on Meta’s first-party API, while Muse Wonder Full is currently only available for Muse Code users. Meta notes that each model is designed for personal and professional agent use Congratulations to @AIatMeta, @finkd, and @alexandr_wang on the release! Key Takeaways: ➤ Both models exhibit a material jump in overall Intelligence Index score. Muse Wonder Full (max) improves on Muse Spark 1.3 (max) across all ten Intelligence Index evaluations, gaining 8 points to 56. The largest gains were seen in agentic evaluations: Terminal-Bench 4.0 (+24 points, 33% to 57%), GDPval-AA v2.1 (+176 Elo, 1681 to 1857), and AA-Briefcase (+148 Elo, 1581 to 1729). Muse Wonder (max) gains 4 Intelligence Index points and lands at 52, with notable improvements vs. Muse Spark 1.3 (max) in Terminal-Bench 4.0 (33% to 52%) and AutomationBench-AA (58% to 68%) ➤ Muse Wonder Full (max) places in the top three on six of the ten Intelligence Index evaluations, and is particularly strong in agentic knowledge work and scientific reasoning. In agentic knowledge work, it narrowly leads on GDP.pdf (33%), ranks #2 on GDPval-AA v2.1 (1857 Elo), and #3 on both AA-Briefcase (1729 Elo) and AutomationBench-AA (71%). In scientific reasoning, it tops the CritPt leaderboard at 33% and ranks #3 on SciCode with 63%. This builds on the relative strengths of Muse Spark 1.3 (max), which also showed particular ability in these two domains ➤ Both models use fewer output tokens than Muse Spark 1.3 (max). Muse Wonder (max) and Muse Wonder Full (max) each use around 54k output tokens per Intelligence Index task, down ~10% from Muse Spark 1.3 (max, 60k). This usage is lower than similarly intelligent models Gemini 4 Argon (high, 62k) and Claude Fable 5.1 (max w/ fallback, 78k), but higher than GPT-6.1 Sol (max, 38k) and GPT-6 Astra (max, 27k). Muse Wonder Full (max) uses 16% fewer input tokens per Intelligence Index task than Muse Wonder (max) (6.44M vs 7.69M), meaning it is both more intelligent and more token-efficient ➤ Cost per Task for Muse Wonder (max) lands higher than most similarly intelligent models. Despite efficient output token use, premium API pricing ($4 per million input tokens, $20 per million output tokens) and high input token use (7.69M per task) push Muse Wonder (max)’s cost to $4.52 per Intelligence Index task. This is lower than Claude Fable 5.1 (max w/ fallback, $7.63), Claude Opus 5.5 (max w/ fallback, $5.98), and Claude Sonnet 5.5 (max w/ fallback, $5.46), but higher than GPT-6 Astra (max, $3.26), Gemini 4 Argon (high, $1.99), GPT-6.1 Sol (max, $0.72), and its predecessor Muse Spark 1.3 (max, $1.60). Per-token pricing is not currently available for Muse Wonder Full, so no Cost per Task figure can be estimated at this stage ➤ Both models gain significantly in Coding Agent performance. Muse Wonder Full achieves 68 on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agents Index at max effort in Muse Code, alongside Claude Code with Sonnet 5.5 (max, 68) and Opus 5.5 (max, 66). Muse Wonder (max) scores 63. These represent material gains over Muse Code with Muse Spark 1.3 (max), which scores 54 Other details for the two new models: ➤ Context windows: 1M tokens each, unchanged from Muse Spark 1.3 ➤ Pricing: for Muse Wonder, $4 input / $0.20 cached input / $20 output per 1M tokens. Pricing per token is not yet announced for Muse Wonder Full ➤ Input modalities: text, image, video, and audio ➤ Output modalities: text ➤ Availability: Muse Wonder is available on Meta's first-party API and Muse Code at launch, while Muse Wonder Full is only available to Muse Code users

A lot of people are saying Anthropic has already nerfed Claude Opus 5.5. We're launching NerfBench on BridgeBench tomorrow. We have the day 1 results. Tomorrow morning we show you the retest. Is Claude Opus 5.5 nerfed or not?

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Harnesses often get dismissed as just scaffolding, just prompt engineering, and not real research. But that couldn't be farther from the truth. The same model weights that score 30% on ARC-AGI score 95% with a better harness. So we gathered a group of researchers and founders working at the frontier to do a deep dive into the state of harnesses. We cover how we got to this point, the case for making your harness as expressive as possible, and what YC learned building an agent for every employee in the company. 00:00 - @FrancoisChauba1: Why harnesses matter 04:27 - Building an auto-researcher by accident 07:13 - A five minute history of harnesses 13:56 - Self-improving harnesses 18:35 - @sethkarten: Prime Agent, a self-improving RLM harness 21:50 - Context as an L1, L2, L3 cache 24:51 - From Turing machine to von Neumann computer 28:33 - Messaging between agents 30:04 - ARC-AGI results 33:09 - Emulator Bench and GPU kernels 37:30 - @JonSaadFalcon: OpenJarvis, personal AI on personal devices 38:26 - How far behind are local models 39:21 - The five primitives of a personal AI stack 42:47 - Letting cloud models optimize your local stack 43:53 - 800x cheaper than the cloud 45:58 - @josh__france and @jbellregan: QM, YC's agent harness for work 47:29 - A history of YC's internal agents 49:24 - OpenClaw and a fleet of 50 agents 51:04 - Pulling the brain out of the sandbox 54:43 - Letting the agent choose its own sandbox and model 57:16 - The grind tool: budgets on goals 58:50 - Agents don't understand social context

As I use Aside I think it really might be the best AI agent harness Supports all models, extensible, has skills support built in, comes with lots of useful skills already Amazing a small startup can punch above even what the frontier labs can do at the harness browser level
Replying to @garrytan @AsideAI
Aside Use Cases: — Sign into websites and complete authenticated tasks — Work across multiple websites in one workflow — Use stored credentials without exposing raw passwords to the model — Restrict which websites an agent can access — Require confirmation before payments, posts, or messages — Research across logged-in databases and private sources — Capture sources, URLs, screenshots, timestamps, and files — Conduct market, competitor, customer, and product research — Monitor changing pages, dashboards, prices, and announcements — Pause for an event or response, then resume the task — Reconstruct work from browser history and prior context — Write messages in the user’s established voice — Manage prospect research, enrichment, and sales follow-up — Work through operational queues and recurring browser tasks — Source candidates and support hiring workflows — Test authenticated applications, staging environments, and admin panels — Debug private CI runs and internal dashboards — Automate browser testing through CLI, MCP, or Playwright-style tooling — Run long-lived, multi-tab agent workflows — Connect coding agents to browser-only evidence and actions — Preserve task context locally for later continuation — Return an inspectable record of what the agent observed and did

You built a store. Then you hired an agency. Or you gave up and listed on Amazon. Which part was supposed to be the business? Aury is an AI employee that builds and runs your store. It finds the products in your photos, writes the copy, builds the site, sets up payments and shipping, launches campaigns, answers customers, manages stock. Anything that moves money comes to you. Everything else just gets done. $49 and you drive it by chat. $149 and the operator runs it. See your store before you pay paste a Shopify URL or a few product photos. tryaury.com

100,000 stars on @graphify First Indian developer to ship a 100k-star repo. Only the 5th @ycombinator -backed open-source project to ever hit 100k. Stars are vanity until they aren’t. 100k is where they stop being vanity.

Hermes and Pi Agent led on the average cost per task, while Claude Code cost about 3.7x as much as Pi: - $0.39 Hermes Agent - $0.40 Pi Agent - $0.47 Codex - $0.51 OpenCode - $0.54 Kimi Code - $1.47 Claude Code The median cost tells the same story: $0.29 in Pi Agent and Hermes, $0.35 in OpenCode, $0.38 in Kimi Code, $0.39 in Codex and $0.72 in Claude Code, so the cost gap holds for a typical task and is not driven by a few expensive runs. We calculated these costs using Kimi K3’s list prices: $3/1M input tokens, $0.30/1M cached input tokens, and $15/1M output tokens.

they gave frontier models a 1 billion token context window: you can now run Fable [1B], Opus [100M], GPT 5.6 [500M] across your entire codebase - it's a graph based tool that can traverse databases with 400M+ of nodes in ms - only one prompt to install - & it's open source (link in video) Introducing Polygres
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Frontier models do not natively have 100M to 1B token context windows; current limits top out at ~1M–10M tokens morphllm.com/llm-context-wi…, with 1B tokens estimated for around 2030 cacm.acm.org/news/the-road-…. Polygres uses database retrieval to simulate a large context window polygres.com
