At OpenAI, we're continuing to bet on Rust as the future of systems programming.
I'm proud to announce that we're making a $600,000 commitment to the Rust Foundation, which combines our Platinum membership with additional support for maintainer efforts across the Rust ecosystem.

Great hands-on intro to async Rust by @heyfebin 🦀
It answers the question most tutorials skip: who actually runs async code in Rust?
The answer is built from scratch : a oneshot channel, a waker, a block_on runner, using nothing but std. No Tokio yet. Just the raw primitives.
Once every piece is understood, reaching for Tokio feels natural, nothing is magic anymore.
Chapter 1 covers:
→ Why Rust ships no event loop (unlike Node)
→ What polling actually does
→ How Waker signals when to poll again
→ Building a oneshot channel from scratch

Introducing Claude Opus 4.6. Our smartest model got an upgrade.
Opus 4.6 plans more carefully, sustains agentic tasks for longer, operates reliably in massive codebases, and catches its own mistakes.
It’s also our first Opus-class model with 1M token context in beta.

Vibe coding is the creation of large quantities of complex AI-generated code. Executives push lay-offs claiming AI can handle the work. Managers pressure employees to meet quotas of how much of their code must be AI-generated... yet results are far from what was promised 1/

I managed to unlock a crazy new hidden feature in Claude Code called Swarms. You're not talking to an AI coder anymore. You're talking to a team lead. The lead doesn't write code - it plans, delegates, and synthesizes. When you approve a plan, it enters a new "delegation mode" and spawns a team of specialists who:
- Share a task board with dependencies
- Work in parallel as teammates
- Message each other to coordinate work
Workers do the heavy lifting, coordinate amongst themselves, then report back.

Rust doesn’t prevent bugs. It just bullies you until you stop writing them.

Even though I knew his death was coming, as he told us it would, I still can’t believe he has died.
Rest in peace, good and great man, rest in peace.

RIP Scott Adams. I hope this inspiring quote of his lives forever:
“I have poor art skills, mediocre business skills, good but not great writing talent, and an early knowledge of the Internet. And I have a good but not great sense of humor. I’m like one big mediocre soup. None of my skills are world-class, but when my mediocre skills are combined, they become a powerful market force.”

RIP @ScottAdamsSays - one of the most original, insightful, and fearless thinkers who ever lived. 😞🙏

rust is a perfect language for agents, given that if it compiles it's ~correct
