Poland would be a great choice for the first European Omacon conference! I feel embarrassed to say I've not yet been. This would be a great excuse to correct that mistake!
🇵🇱 Warsaw is Poland's biggest city and it is completely safe at 1am at night
No violent junkies, no drug dealers, no street thugs hanging around harassing women (and men), no pickpockets (nor in the day btw)
No shady people hanging around the train and metro stations
Just people living chill together and police enforcing safety
You know like we used to in Western Europe?
There's a lot to learn from Poland

We climbed Krakus Mound in Krakow with @staskulesh!!!
Very cool
I think it's Pagan but nobody really knows why it's here, it's a man made "mound", like a pile of land
It's very old! 🇵🇱

Since we started offering employee profit sharing in 2020, we've paid out over $24,000,000 to employees.
We've never offered stock options. Not a fan of future maybe money. We pay real cash to real people so they can spend it on real things right now.
When you choose to be our customer, you're making this possible. You're supporting an independent, fully customer-funded business that shares its success with the people who make it happen.
You don't need investors, stock options, or complicated cap tables to share your success. You can just share the profits. It really can be that simple.
If you're curious, this is how the profit sharing plan works:

trying a new approach to upcoming blog post
- dictation to capture the things i want to talk about (wispr)
- pass that into [pick your favorite agent] to generate an outline with notes
- take that outline+notes and dump it into your [favorite writing tool]
i feel like the hardest part of writing is really collecting and organizing your thoughts and this is making that so much easier

I've never seen an exceptional product that was designed by committee.
Too many cooks in the kitchen make products that are complicated and diluted. Every compromise feels small in the meeting, and together they water down the whole thing!
1/ I sat down with @mattpocockuk and asked about the most valuable AI skill to learn for 2027.
His answer was communication, because the clarity of your thinking ends up in what you build.
No model can read your mind, so whoever explains what they want best gets the best output.

What did @AnthropicAI do with his latest Claude Desktop update? I feel like there was a major system prompt/harness upgrade here. Opus 5.5 feels like it's Opus 5.8 now.
cc @trq212 what did y'all do?
Sebastian Werner retweeted
We've been working hard on making the Claude Code desktop app great for running lots of sessions side by side.
It's now much quicker to start sessions, easier to split work across a few, and you can always see what each of them is doing. Here’s what's new:

Day 9/
We've rolled out optimizations to how we store state on disk for the chatgpt & codex desktop app that should reduce the amount stored on disk by 60%. Small ship but we've heard enough feedback about power users running out of disk space.

AI was supposed to make us work less
I've never been this tired in my life
most days I have up to 10 agents running at the same time. one fixing a bug, one writing pages, one refactoring something I already forgot I asked for, 3 other I have no idea what they are doing but i suppose i ask it?
and I jump from conversation to conversation all day
compared to 5 years ago, I probably context switch 100x more
by the end of the day my brain is fried. completely toasted. nothing left, not even for the people I love
I call it the fried brain effect
thought it was just me but almost every founder I talk to lately says the exact same thing
we got superpowers, and somehow the pressure only went up. if you can ship 10x more, you feel like you have to ship 10x more. every single day
I don't have a solution
honestly I have no idea where this goes from here
anyone else feeling this?

One plan now covers Cursor, Grok, Grok Bot, and X.
This is the biggest change to how Cursor is priced.
If you've been with us since the early days, this will feel like a lot, so I'll walk you through it.
First, every change is opt-in. If you do nothing, nothing happens.
You can keep your current plan with the same benefits, behavior, and pricing, and still move between the current plans. New sign-ups and anyone upgrading from free Cursor go to the new plans.
Here's what's different:
1. First-party usage
For most users, Grok and Composer coding limits are at least double what the matching Cursor plan gives you today.
We worked hard to make usage grow faster than price at each tier:
Plus ($8/mo): our base plan
Premium ($30/mo): 4x Plus usage
Super ($100/mo): 15x Plus usage
Ultra ($200/mo): 50x Plus usage
That's on top of every other product included in the plan.
On the new plans, Cursor usage limits move from monthly to weekly. Grok, Cursor, and X share one weekly pool.
All Grok Bot usage is treated as first-party. So on Premium and up, you get at least double the Grok Bot usage.
We know AI can get expensive. If you're trusting us, you should get as much as we can deliver. That's what we're aiming for with these new plans.
2. Products
Every paid plan includes X Premium features. Grok @Bot comes with Premium and up.
If you're reading this on X, you can now get those features as part of Cursor and @Grok. Your plan also covers Grok chat, Voice, and Imagine images and video.
Grok Bot access has been one of the biggest pain points we've heard since it launched, and it's a big part of why we're excited.
3. Third-party models
You can keep using every model you rely on in Cursor.
What's changing is how those models are billed on the new plans: they come out of your usage credits at the provider's API list price, the same as paying the provider directly.
Current Cursor plans subsidize third-party models, so you can get inference below API price.
At @SpaceXSI, we want to give you as much value as we can on our own models. That's why Grok usage limits are increasing and why we're treating Grok Bot usage as first-party.
We're still committed to Cursor being the simplest way to use models from many providers in one place, and we'll have more news on this front in the coming weeks.
If most of your usage is on third-party models, the new plans might cost you more, so check your usage before switching. That's one of the main reasons these plans are opt-in.
Cursor Pro and Pro+ subscribers who switch get Premium at $20/mo or Super at $60/mo for 6 months (normally $30 and $100).
4. Credit unification
Cursor credits and xAI API credits are coming together - prepaid xAI API balances now move into Cursor.
If you've been running the xAI API and Cursor as separate accounts, this is the start of managing both in one place.
It also means tools like Grok Voice become more accessible to all builders, and our biggest Grok users can now take full advantage of Cursor.
That's a lot of stuff! In summary:
Cursor, Grok, and X are all part of SpaceXSI.
That gives us economies of scale, and this unification is one of the main ways we can pass that on to you as savings and more usage.
Whether you should switch depends on which products you use, and that's different for everyone. If you pay for X today or most of your usage is on Grok, the new plans are probably a better deal.
To get started, check out cursor.com/pricing
What hasn't changed is why we do this: we want to build the best tools we can for you, and we think one plan across all of these products gets us closer to that.
If something here doesn't make sense or feels unfair, please let me know. I'm here to help.

I had early access to this model.
It’s different. I am enjoying it a lot. It’s very very smart and I love how it talks and thinks. Hard to describe.
Video coming soon :)

Just want to emphasize: this is entirely built with CSS scroll snapping and view timelines – no JS gesture handling or animations. This means we get high frame rate fluid momentum and elastic physics matching the platform for free. It feels native because it really is – modern CSS is pretty amazing. Check out my blog post about how it works below!
📢 Introducing the React Aria Sheet component!
‣ Native swipe gestures powered by CSS scroll snapping
‣ Gesture-synced animations
‣ Snap points
‣ Stacking
‣ Elastic over-scroll
‣ Keyboard aware

grok bot is honestly ruining any other llm interaction for me. the fact that they hide the magic behind the scenes with subagents and whatever tf and that EVERYTHING is instant, makes me not wanna use anything else

This quote from Steve Jobs lives rent free in my head...
"People who are genuinely great at something don't compete. They don't care about being compared to others because they're so deep in their own lane that comparison would be a waste of time. They just do their thing."
