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

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
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: energetic
Written for: Product teams

This is Claude Sonnet 4.6: our most capable Sonnet model yet. It’s a full upgrade across coding, computer use, long-context reasoning, agent planning, knowledge work, and design. It also features a 1M token context window in beta.

Humanoids were long a thing of sci-fi, then they were a thing of research, but today, with the launch of NEO, humanoids become a product. NEO is the first step on a journey towards a more abundant future and we’re excited for you to join us on this journey. Order your NEO today.

Kimi K3 just beat Fable 5 on the BridgeBench Horror House game test. I did not expect this at all. Kimi K3 is better than Fable 5 at game development and UI design. The two things Fable 5 was supposed to own. The 5x price increase suddenly makes sense.

Pretty sick sick new feature that I am specifically excited about: Android update that makes Quick Share work with Airdrop. So you can easily share files/images between Android phones and iPhones (starting with Pixel 10) t.co

This weekend I built =GPT3(), a way to run GPT-3 prompts in Google Sheets. It's incredible how tasks that are hard or impossible to do w/ regular formulas become trivial. For example: sanitize data, write thank you cards, summarize product reviews, categorize feedback...

AirPods Max 2 - Same design - 1.5x stronger noise cancellation - New amplifiers - H2 chip, which enables several things, like: - Live translation, camera remote - Still $550 t.co (I hope this puts into perspective how insane Macbook Neo for $499 is lol)
