We've been working on this for a while -- it's impressive (and scary) to see the kinds of security issues it has identified. Rolling out slowly, starting as a research preview for Team and Enterprise customers.

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: corporate
Written for: Hiring managers and founders

Many talented people over the past few years were declined an offer or even an interview @xAI. My apologies. @BarisAkis and I are going through the company interview history and reaching back out to promising candidates.

guess who got laid off today! 🫠 i am genuinely so confused and bewildered like, i spent the past week debugging the rivalry system while recovering from pneumonia and just in the past few days i’ve had multiple directors tell me how much they appreciate everything i do

Hi! I'm one of the prompt writers that worked on this ad. It's a lot harder than people think! Prompts that my team used include: -make it funny -make it epic AND funny -funnier!!! Please be nice to my team as many of them will be laid off/replaced by AI

Kamala Harris has and will interview with: -Howard Stern -Rickey Smiley -Call Her Daddy -Matt Barnes & Stephen Jackson (All The Smoke) -Oprah -60 Minutes -The View -Stephen Colbert -Dana Bash/CNN -Stephanie Ruhle/MSNBC -Univision But I’m told she isn’t doing media. 🙄

Reviving this account to say: Almost everyone at Vimeo was laid off yesterday, including the entire video team. If you're looking for talented engineers, there are a few on the market. Sucks to see something I built killed by private equity in a technology company skin suit.

We won. Starmer abandons plans for compulsory Digital ID. This is a HUGE win. Well done to EVERYONE who has been fighting - from all political parties and none. A team effort. It proves that we can make progress when we come together to fight this appalling Labour Government.

Fable 5.1 is our best model yet for coding, data analysis, computer use, design, presentations, Tag, and the hardest long-running agentic work. This model is a pleasure to work with, and I've been using it for everything.

We're launching Claude Tag today. Tag Claude into Slack and it works in channel with you. It’s proactive, multiplayer, with its own identity and memory. But it’s not just a bot in Slack. Over the last few months, it’s totally changed how we use Claude

Big migrations and refactors are some of a team's most important work, and the easiest to push off to a "better time" since they'd tie up engineers for a quarter. With dynamic workflows, Claude can now land that kind of work in days or weeks. More: t.co

The UK AISI found Mythos Preview is the first model to solve both their cyber ranges end-to-end. No model had ever solved the AISI’s “Cooling Tower” cyber range before. We're getting it to defenders as fast as we responsibly can. More to come on our Glasswing work soon.

Starting tomorrow at 12pm PT, Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage on third-party tools like OpenClaw. You can still use these tools with your Claude login via extra usage bundles (now available at a discount), or with a Claude API key.

🎁 Happy Friday - Opus 4.6 1M is now the default Opus model for Claude Code users on Max, Team, and Enterprise plans. Pro and Sonnet users can opt in with /extra-usage.
