Claude Code: Neuer "Fast Mode" beschleunigt KI-Modell Opus 4.6
Für das KI-Modell Opus 4.6 steht Nutzern von Claude Code ab sofort ein „Fast Mode“ zur Verfügung, der deutlich schnellere Antworten ermöglicht.
heise | KI zu Befehl: So kontrollieren Sie mit Künstlicher Intelligenz Ihren Mac
ChatGPT, Perplexity und Claude steuern auf Wunsch Apps und sogar macOS. Ein Überblick, wie sich der Mac schon jetzt mit KI-Tools bedienen lässt.
“4% of GitHub public commits are being authored by Claude Code right now. At the current trajectory, we believe that Claude Code will be 20% of all daily commits by the end of 2026. While you blinked, AI consumed all of software development.”
Must-read article, even if you can disagree with the analysis

Today in bad tech journalism: "AI agents" generating a C compiler.
They didn't though. They created a piece of it that didn't work properly (because LLMs are trained on a lot of C compiler code).
(Original title: Sixteen Claude AI agents working together created a new C compiler)
Anthropic are now casting live coders for ad campaigns showing how great Claude is for pushing beyond their capabilities. Not sure it's quite there yet..
Apropos of nothing, Claude is advertised as “Describe what you need, and Claude handles the rest.” and not as “Describe what you need, and Claude makes suggestions which after your careful consideration mayhaps do what you asked but possibly not.”

it was bound to happen, claude was lying about making commits on the app i am working on and then deleted the entire source directory. that's how you earn your vibe coding wings. luckily, i do have most of the commits and a backup.

Frühjahr 2025
‚Bei einer Plenarsitzung verglich er das Weiße Haus mit Neros Palast, von wo aus der […] Kaiser […] Rom in Brand setzte. Dort agiere Elon Musk als „Hofnarr unter Ketamin“, […]. Er warf Trump vor, nicht nur seine Alliierten verraten zu haben, sondern die amerikanische Demokratie […] schwer beschädigt zu haben, „fast so schnell, wie Hitler 1933 die Weimarer Demokratie zerstört hat“. Dies sei eine Tragödie für die freie Welt, aber vor allem für die USA selbst.‘
I will confess that out of morbid curiosity, I'd find it interesting to watch the entire process of someone generating a novel using AI. I feel like the prompt would end up being as long as a decent synopsis.

Claude Opus 4.6 has added value for finding vulnerabilities, ofcourse it is Anthropic telling you to buy Anthropic 🙂 , still a well documented blog that makes it plausible that LLMs have a role to play here, as also confirmed in other blogs/with other models.
Bughunting is one of the those functionalities where the weaknesses of GenAI are not a problem. All agree, this is not only a hype.
Some positive signs for AI coding tools. Claude-code is a $1B run rate product six month after launch. The latest Claude Opus 4.5 model is several times cheaper and faster than last month’s version and uses about a quarter of the number of tokens to get work done. My own benchmark saw over an hour of coding reduced to 17 minutes. The high rate of change continues. The boundary of what does/doesn’t work is pushing back fast.
