if you’re freaking out about Mythos, remember:

Never make any major life decisions within 30 days of a meditation retreat, psychedelic trip, or first encounter with a frontier AI model.

LOL, pretty much. imho, frontier models are psychedelics.

(Except Opus 4.6 of course.)

Everybody is calling this an attack on Openclaw… wrong.

This is an attack on Salesforce...

Agencies will sell agents as a service (AaaS) to clients all powered and securely Sandboxed on Anthropic’s platform. t.co/uXqTH1b34A

@chooserich Ahhh, good call. Yeah, I can see agencies going for that.

Where from are they going to get the domain expertise in though? The clients?

Introducing Claude Managed Agents: everything you need to build and deploy agents at scale.

It pairs an agent harness tuned for performance with production infrastructure, so you can go from prototype to launch in days.

Now in public beta on the Claude Platform. t.co/vHYfiC1G56

@claudeai One thing I don't yet understand is if/how/when/where pre-training and RL happens.

the internet is the greatest playground ever built.

if you’re not having fun on it you’re fundamentally misusing it.

@signulll My highlight of the past 2 weeks has been Angine de Poitrine's full show on KEXP's youtube channel.

Feels like hearing and seeing the White Stripes for the first time.

The last thing I would ever do is have my product rely on one companies agent infra, lol

BUILD YOUR OWN INFRA

DO NOT GET PROVIDER LOCKED t.co/uuCCigg1VD

@KingBootoshi Hmmm... I had the same initial reaction. What if on-prem doesn't matter and if you're using Anthropic API anyways, might as well?

I think the eval of what is and isn't right (based on your domain expertise) will matter much more. I think.

Hi, I'm Michael, an engineer working on Anthropic's API team. I'm really excited to finally be able to talk about Claude Managed Agents, a suite of APIs and developer tooling we've been working on for the past few months. t.co/oKG2MdT2K5

@mc_anthropic Great docs, doc!

I really like the "pets-vs-cattle analogy" - got me thinking, I probably tend towards building pets. Thank you so much :)

there goes a whole yc batch t.co/acARLspEi3

That was my first thought as well. At the same time, what if those companies who already have built their on-prem agents (often using Anthropic API anyways) migrate them to Managed Agents instead?

I mean, yes, the customers they're serving are - in theory - just one Anthropic platform account away of building their own agents but I still want to see this happen for real.

Like someone saying: "You know what? I know nothing about filing taxes for my business. I will NOT use a traditional OR AI-first Saas but build it myself instead."

At least I would not. For the same reason I decided to pay for Wispr Flow a while back instead of vibe-coding it over a weekend.

Just thoughts and maybe even more questions.

Lots of companies are now building primitives for an economy where AI agents are the primary users instead of humans.

They're betting on an economy of AI coworkers.

1. AgentMail (@agentmail): so agents can have email accounts

2. AgentPhone (@tryagentphone): so agents can have phone numbers

3. Kapso (@andresmatte): so agents can have WhatsApp phone numbers

4. Daytona (@daytonaio) / E2B (@e2b): so agents can have their own computers

5. Browserbase (@browserbase) / Browser Use (@browser_use) / Hyperbrowser (@hyperbrowser): so agents can use web browsers

6. Firecrawl (@firecrawl): so agents can crawl the web without a browser

7. Mem0 (@mem0ai): so agents can remember things

8. Kite (@GoKiteAI) / Sponge (@PayspongeLabs) : so agents can pay for things.

9. Composio (@composio): so agents can use your SaaS tools

10. Orthogonal (@orthogonal_sh) so agents can access APIs easily

11. ElevenLabs (@ElevenLabs) / Vapi (@Vapi_AI) so agents can have a voice

12. Sixtyfour (@sixtyfourai) so agents can search for people and companies.

13. Exa (@ExaAILabs): so agents can search the web (Google doesn’t work for agents)

If you stitch all of these together, you get a digital coworker that looks more human than AI.

@shivsakhuja @agentmail @tryagentphone @grok can you make a comprehensive list of the agent-first apps and services mentioned in the parent and across the comments and sub-comments here?

@AmazonKindle I love, love, love every single Kindle I've ever bought.

And speed absolutely matters:

My latest one, an early 2025 Kindle Paperwhite, is so fast that I wound up reading Pratchett's 42-volume Discworld series in less than 12 months.

And yet, since buying my first Kindle, I still have one single feature request:

After I've continued reading a book on my Kindle
And I've then locked the screen
When I look at the lock screen
I want to see the current page that I had been reading
So that whenever I glance at my locked Kindle
I can quickly read a sentence or two of what I was reading
And pull myself back into continue reading that book
And keep my reading momentum
And finish more books sooner.

The "whenever I glance at my Kindle" happens relatively often and neither the book cover nor the default graphics help me keep momentum the way the "open last page" would.

Thank you for your consideration!

Alexis

Wow. I'm really stunned.

This is the worst iteration of Claude Code I've ever had.

And it's not that mid-day quality drop that you get in Europe when the US east coast boots up.

For several hours now. What?

And a day later, it all went back to great. Puzzled.
