Make Love Not War
Two rival frontier models, both at maximum reasoning, in one loop that ships unattended for days. It runs $500–$1,000 a day — and measured against what it delivers, that's cheap.
Sol Ships: GPT-5.6 in Your Pro Plan, at Half Fable's Price
The Sol/Terra/Luna preview is now real. GPT-5.6 shipped July 9 — and the story isn't the benchmarks. It's that Sol is bundled into ChatGPT Pro at half of Claude Fable 5's token price, plus one coding benchmark OpenAI quietly skipped.
J-Space: The Silent Workspace Inside Claude
Anthropic found a small, privileged workspace inside Claude — internal patterns, readable with a new Jacobian 'J-lens', holding concepts the model reasons with but never writes down. Not a consciousness claim. Maybe something more useful: a window into the thoughts a model doesn't print.
Sol, Terra, Luna: OpenAI Splits GPT-5.6 Into Three
OpenAI isn't shipping GPT-5.6 as one model. It's shipping a ladder — Sol, Terra, Luna — that turns the frontier into a pricing decision. Public launch Thursday. Here's how to read the three tiers and where each one actually earns its cost.
Advisor and Executor: Using Fable 5 Without the Fable 5 Bill
Anthropic's ClaudeDevs shared the pattern they lean on with Fable 5: don't make the frontier model do the work — make it the advisor. A cheaper executor runs the loop and calls up to Fable 5 only at the decisions that matter. Most tokens bill at the cheap rate; judgment stays near the top.
GPT-Live: OpenAI Bets the Interface Is Voice
OpenAI's GPT-Live rolls out in ChatGPT today: full-duplex voice models that listen and speak at the same time, and quietly hand the hard questions to a frontier model in the background. The interface just stopped being a prompt box.
The Making of Claude Code
Anthropic published the oral history of Claude Code — from a safety-research side project nicknamed clide to the tool that changed how Silicon Valley writes software. The interesting part isn't the launch. It's the four quiet years before it, and the shrug it got after.
Longevity — Good Company
One of the biggest longevity levers isn't worn, swallowed, or tracked — it's the company you keep. The science is surprisingly blunt.
Samurai
The recharge weekend, concluded — at a zen-samurai finca outside Santa Fe de Antioquia. Batteries full, back to the protocol. Plus the seven virtues of Bushido, read as a biohacker.
The Recharge Protocol
The one lever most people skip isn't another input — it's recovery. Why I made weekend downtime a deliberate protocol, plus the short science on readiness and rest.
Yoga: The Downshift
The piece of the protocol I always skip is recovery — so I finally added it. Yoga, twice a week, at home, with a yogina from Venezuela. Here's why the least clinical thing I do is pure biohacking.
The Third Leash
Fable 5 is back, but it's not in my Max plan — using it spends separate credits. So I made one folder run Claude Code on a different account and the Fable model, interactive and headless. The shim, the token, and why the headless loop is the hard part.
