YOUR AI IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE PROMPT YOU FEED IT.

Wispr Flow [5] lets you speak detailed prompts instead of typing short ones. Explain the full context, the constraints, the edge cases, in the time it takes to type a sentence. 4x faster than typing.

HOW ANTHROPIC RUNS LARGE-SCALE CODE MIGRATIONS WITH CLAUDE CODE

Anthropic uses a six-step process with Claude Code for large-scale code migrations, focusing on creating a rulebook, analyzing dependencies, and stress-testing translation rules. It deploys multiple agents to translate, review, and fix code iteratively, and emphasizes using adversarial reviewers and mechanical verification for efficient migration.

CHOOSING GPT-5.6 SOL, TERRA, OR LUNA IN CODEX

GPT-5.6 splits Codex work across Sol for ambiguous, high-value problems, Terra for everyday implementation, and Luna for fast, bounded tasks. Sol Ultra adds deeper reasoning and multi-agent coordination, while clear prompts should specify goals, context, boundaries, and completion checks.

04ENGINEERING & RESEARCH

SCHEMA

Schema is a harness that makes frontier models play like physicists. It can help frontier models achieve 99% on ARC-AGI-3 Public. ARC‑AGI‑3 gives agents a game environment without an explanation of what it is seeing. Schema makes agents write each game's mechanism as an executable program, test it against reality, and plan inside it. It controls how observations are turned into a working model of a game, how predictions are tested against the interaction history, and how plans are executed and revised.

05MISCELLANEOUS

THE BEST MODEL ROUTING IS TASK SPECIFIC

Model routing is a hot topic because nobody wants to pay frontier prices for every token. The best routing is deeply task-specific. The more narrowly you focus on a single workflow, the more alpha there is to exploit in terms of both accuracy and cost. The problem is figuring out which model clears the bar for which task, subject to cost/latency constraints.
