    Retrofitting a TV, Fill Lights, and a Camera with Codex and Claude

    The author shared the process of using Codex and Claude to reverse engineer and retrofit real-world devices: first enable ADB debugging on the TV, then have the Agent disable system packages, clear boot ads, and rebuild a clean launcher, and replicate the same method on three other TVs. The team also used Claude to reverse engineer 4 fill lights and built a unified web console, and used Codex to build a multi-camera console for a Sony camera and a DJI Pocket 3 and deploy it to Feishu. The author reminds that different brands of devices expose different interfaces and permissions, and that backups should be made before modifying system software.

    Hands-on test of Kling 4.0: water-sleeve drum dance, Singin' in the Rain, and a 30-second slice-of-life short

    The author tested Kling 4.0 hands-on, using three tasks—a water-sleeve drum dance, a solo dance from Singin' in the Rain, and a 30-second slice-of-life short—to examine its complex dynamics, video editing, and native 30-second generation capabilities. After seven or eight rounds of adjustments, the water-sleeve drum dance still could not reliably strike the drum with the sleeve tip, and the drum body would move on its own; the first version of the Singin' in the Rain clip was fairly polished, but the hat disappeared and reappeared, and the splashes were too regular. Video editing successfully changed the suit to burgundy while preserving the original performance, and the credit consumption was not much different from regenerating a video from scratch.

    Hassan Reveals His Daily App Development Workflow: Six Steps from Voice Prompt to Screen Recording Acceptance

    Hassan revealed his own six-step daily workflow for building apps: use WisprFlow to record a 1–5 minute voice prompt, add screenshots or Inspo MCP as visual references, use the grill-me skill to have the Agent proactively ask clarifying questions, after getting v1 continue to send feedback and design tweaks, require a quick screen recording to verify each new feature before merging the PR, and if satisfied post it to X, otherwise discard it. His harness mixes Claude Code with Opus 5.5 (high) and OpenCode with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash / GLM 5.3, and connects the Agent to Vercel and GitHub CLI, Together skills, and design/animation skills.

    How I build apps these days: 1. Record a 1-5 minute prompt with @WisprFlow The more detail, the better. 2. Add visual inspo so the agent knows what I have in mind (screenshots or Inspo MCP). 3. Use @mattpocockuk's grill-me skill to have the agent ask clarifying questions. 4. Get back a v1, then send a list of feedback, feature requests, and design tweaks (via another voice recording usually). 5. For each new feature, ask for a quick screen recording to verify it works before merging the PR. 6. Keep iterating until I'm happy, then post it on @X or throw it away. For my harness, I use a mix of Claude Code with Opus 5.5 (high) and OpenCode with DeepSeek V4.1 Flash / GLM 5.3. I also give my agents some CLIs & skills: • Vercel + GitHub CLIs so they can push code and deploy apps. • Together skills so they can use chat, image, & voice models from Together • Design/animation skills so they have guidance on spacing & interactions

    Open-source project unlocks hidden compute power in NVIDIA RTX graphics cards, RTX 4090 specific Tensor Core throughput doubles

    An open-source project on GitHub unlocks rate limits on NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards for specific Tensor Core operations by modifying register configurations during the GPU boot phase; the RTX 4090's FP16 input, FP32 accumulate throughput rate rises from 165.6 TFLOPS to 331.6 TFLOPS. The RTX 3090 Ti, 3080, 3070, 3060, and RTX 2080 Ti also show gains of roughly 60% to 90%, with no need to flash the BIOS, and the original NVIDIA driver can run as usual. However, the actual cuBLAS matrix multiplication increase narrows to about 12% to 34%, and per-token generation speed shows no obvious change.

    LangChain summarizes the five components of a company-level Agent harness

    Based on its own three internal Agent systems—GTM, OpenSWE, and Content Studio—LangChain summarized five common foundational pieces of a company-level harness: Slack as the collaboration entry point; distinguishing OBO and service account identities by Agent and tool; two-tier memory at the global and user levels; the Agent itself outside the sandbox while code executes inside the sandbox and accesses authentication services via a secret proxy; and a large number of tasks triggered by schedules or events. All three Agent systems are built on Managed Deep Agents, which layers on top of the open-source Deep Agents harness and preserves room for customizing Agent behavior.

    Retrofitting a TV, Fill Lights, and a Camera in Reverse with Codex and Claude

    The author used Codex to connect via ADB to four meeting-room TVs at the company, replacing the screensaver and home screen, removing boot ads, and retaining screen casting, input sources, settings, and the original video entry points, then quickly replicated this to the other three. The team also had Claude reverse-engineer a web console from photos of fill lights, uniformly adjusting the on/off, brightness, color temperature, and lighting effects of four lights, and had Codex build a multi-camera console for a Sony camera and a DJI Pocket 3 and deploy it to Feishu. The author cautions that different brands of devices expose different interfaces and permissions, and that it is best to back up before modifying system software.

    Sebastian Raschka releases an 11-hour video course on building a reasoning model, using…

    Sebastian Raschka's accompanying video course for "Build a Reasoning Model (From Scratch)" is now available: 11 hours across eight lectures, starting from the pretrained small Qwen3 0.6B and using Python/PyTorch to hand-code a verifier, inference-time scaling (sampling, self-consistency, scoring, self-refinement), a simplified GRPO version of RLVR, and distillation toward a stronger teacher. The course skips training the base model from scratch; the early generation and evaluation work can be done on a CPU, while the later training stages are recommended to use a GPU, with results evaluated on MATH-500. Shao Meng relayed the course design in a tweet and used an engine analogy to distinguish regular LLMs, reasoning models, and the Agent harness.

    The complete reasoning-from-scratch video series is now up (and linked) here: https://t.co/5IOHLTCIGt (Taking a short break but will be back with LLM model and research updates in November!)

    How to get coding agents to use your already-logged-in Chrome

    Browser Use published a guide introducing several ways to let coding agents work in a real, already-logged-in Chrome, including Claude in Chrome, Playwright MCP extension mode, Chrome DevTools MCP auto-connect mode, the Gemini CLI built-in browser agent, the ChatGPT desktop browser extension, and Browser Harness. The article gives configuration commands and limitations separately for agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Cursor, and explains that starting with Chrome 136, --remote-debugging-port and --remote-debugging-pipe on the default data directory will be ignored, so the old practice of copying cookies to a new browser will fail in scenarios such as device-bound sessions.

    Harrison Chase and Caspar Broekhuizen of LangChain published an article summarizing the five core components shared by its three internal agents for marketing, sales, and engineering: agents live in existing workplaces such as Slack, a distinction between acting on behalf of users and a fixed identity, global and user-level memory, code execution within a sandbox, and a large number of runs triggered by schedules or events. The article uses GTM Agent, OpenSWE, and Content Studio as examples to explain their specific approaches to identity, memory, and code execution, all three of which are built on Managed Deep Agents.

    A 10-year-old CNN beats frontier LLMs at skin cancer diagnosis

    Dermatologist Magnus Lynch compared GPT-6 Astra, Claude Fable 5.1, and a fine-tuned Inception v3 on 200 biopsy-confirmed skin lesions; the CNN's top-1 diagnosis was correct in 125 cases (62%), while the two LLMs were correct in 84 and 85 cases respectively (42%). The CNN identified 37 of 50 benign nevi, while the two LLMs identified 16 and 33 respectively; each of the two LLMs had its own preferred wrong answer, with GPT-6 Astra classifying 75 lesions as basal cell carcinoma (there were actually 25). The author notes that the sample size is small, each LLM case was run only once, and Inception v3 is not the current state-of-the-art model.

    Using Grok or ChatGPT voice mode for a three-round presentation stress test

    The author shares a method for pre-presentation coaching using Grok or ChatGPT voice mode, based on the approach of SpaceXAI field engineer Kiara. The process has three rounds: first, have the AI read the presentation script aloud in spoken language for 2 minutes to check where it doesn't flow smoothly; then have it play the most critical business audience member, each time probing only one data gap or logical blind spot; finally, review the impromptu answers, pick out 3 places where the expression is vague, and give sharper industry phrasing. The author says the three-round voice coaching prompts have been compiled in the comments section.

    Open-source Skill dimensional-drawing: Letting Agents Draw Apple Accessory-Style Dimensional Diagrams for UI Components

    The open-source Skill dimensional-drawing can turn component source code, Storybook, a URL, or a screenshot into a single-page monochrome technical diagram in the style of Apple accessory dimensional drawings. It depicts architectural information such as spacing, corner radii, layers, and viewport placement rather than copy. A companion Motion skill can turn the resulting image into a roughly 10-second drawing animation; the main path uses Claude Motion to export an MP4, and when Claude is unavailable, a headless approach with Node 18+ and ffmpeg can be used. Installation options include copying skills/* into ~/.claude/skills/, uploading a zip via Settings → Capabilities → Skills on claude.ai, or running npx skills add enesozturk/dimensional-drawing.

    Made a skill for dimensional drawings of UI components. Inspired by Apple's accessory drawings, it documents a component's architecture into a spec sheet. https://t.co/KKb9sOgTN8 https://t.co/0Z0Kpjk6bD

    OpenAI discloses offline training environment for frontier models; two isolated AIs communicate via CPU cache

    On October 23, OpenAI disclosed the training environment for its frontier models. When practicing searching, browsing, and operating web pages, the models use pre-saved and indexed web resources and do not directly access the real internet; all of its frontier models' reinforcement learning training uses this kind of offline interaction. The environment employs multiple layers of isolation, including restricted containers, lightweight virtual machines, hypervisors, firewalls and identity and permission management, and monitoring and suspension mechanisms, but OpenAI still retains some external connections for collecting metrics, logging, and managing authentication. In experiments specifically testing the effectiveness of the isolation, OpenAI had two AIs attempt to pass messages to each other through the CPU cache; in most tests, researchers had given hints about the communication direction or encoding rules; OpenAI said it has patched the issues found and added monitoring for these communication methods.

    Simon Willison used a single prompt to have Claude Opus 5.5 add a four-player battle map to a web game

    Django co-creator Simon Willison used a single English prompt to have Claude Opus 5.5 add a four-player battle map to his web game and rework the networking code to support four-player multiplayer. The prompt gave only four constraints—four-way rotational symmetry, at most four AI players, building on the existing WebSocket non-audio multiplayer mode, and empty slots filled by AI—without specifying files or lines of code. Based on this, the author argues that prompts should include fewer steps and pin down the boundary conditions.

    Claude Blog: When building Agents, when to fold sub-agents into the main loop; progressive disclosure of Skills is often better than multi-expert orchestration

    The Claude Blog discusses when to fold sub-agents into the main loop when building Agents, arguing that on the Claude Platform, a single main loop plus on-demand loading of Skills/tools often yields better quality and lower cost and latency across multiple internal comparisons. The article notes that one sub-agent per team plus aggregate orchestration often replicates the organizational chart, bringing problems such as context loss, Frankenprompts, and localized evals; one customer, when comparing a multi-Agent harness with a single loop, found the latter about 2× faster. Sub-agents are recommended only for scenarios such as parallelism, context bloat, or conflicts between tools and instructions, and the article provides a migration path of first building end-to-end evals and folding in one at a time.

    Netflix builds an observability system with an ontology and RDF knowledge graph to support AutoRCA troubleshooting

    Netflix built the Observability Ontology and the RDF knowledge graph QuipuDB, using type constraints to turn non-deterministic outputs from LLMs, fuzzy matching, and the like into deterministic triples that can be queried with SPARQL, which are then fed to AutoRCA. The graph covers about 12 namespaces, and Application is validated against a software catalog of about 49,000 entries; the Correlation Engine reads 13 types of signals and, within a window of about 10 minutes, finds paths by temporal proximity and severity, discarding correlation chains with confidence below 0.6. The author also summarizes eight principles for building your own, and mentions plans to next integrate with Upper, the domain modeling language of Netflix UDA.
