I told Claude to make a video about what it's like to be European

Today we announce 1Password for Agents platform, building with companies @Muse, SpaceX Super Intelligence Grok @Bot, @AnthropicAI’s @Claudeai, @OpenAI, @TownAI, @Browserbase, @Browser_use, @heydana_ai, Instinct, @usekernel, @Perplexity_ai, @tryramp, @Tomo, and @wajo_ai, with more integrations on the way. 🎉
We've heard from so many of our customers who want to use these new personal AI agents to help them get more done, but want more control over what the agent can access with the same trust and ease of use they get when using 1Password directly.
1Password for Agents gives your agents access without giving up your passwords. When an agent reaches a sign-in form, it requests a credential from your vault. If you approve the request, 1Password directly auto-fills the credential in the destination site so the agent can’t see or take possession of the credentials.
The agent gets the task done, but it doesn’t get your passwords..
You stay in control. 1Password for Agents free and optional for personal and family accounts. Unless you opt-in to an agent connector, agents cannot touch your vault.

Introducing image-viewer!
A simple Claude Code mod that renders the images you paste above the prompt input.

We solved Navier-Stokes!
Many of my colleagues left their fields because they believed that working on AI would be the fastest way to solve their fields' grand challenges.
It's surreal to see the first of those challenges fall and to watch a future we believed in become real.
We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.
The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.

New in Claude Code: your sessions can now message each other.
Instead of having to re-explain yourself in another session, you can now tell Claude to do it. It sends a summary (not your history or files), and the other session picks it up mid-task.

Note that we've completely redesigned and rebuilt freenet.org over the past few years, it now supports things like entirely decentralized group chat.

Bypassing the latest #EU #ageVerification app (2026.07-1) with a Chrome extension... again.
Despite 3 months of security hardening and genuine improvements across the board, the fundamental issue cannot be solved.
Anonymous age verification doesn't work.
I honestly don't know how @vonderleyen can say it's "privacy preserving" with a straight face.
Do I need to hack it again?

introducing namethatui.com
a dictionary for ui things you can see but can't name
made it because i'm primarily a designer, and my biggest resistance was always knowing what things are called when prompting my agents
it learns as people use it: every search teaches the site new words, and the built-in pocket dictionary grows with it
give it a try and let me know what you think
can't find something? dm me and i'll add it
i want this to be the lowest resistance resource you have
you can just build things

Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946.
For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids.
An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better.
This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

Introducing Open Collider: an open-source engine that mechanically improves LLM creativity.
It generates non-trivial, high-quality ideas at scale, for any ideation problem.
LLMs collapse on the same ideas. Sample the same brief 100 times → most outputs land in the same place. Researchers call it the Artificial Hivemind (Jiang et al., 2025).
"Be more creative" moves the LLM's output by ~0.04 in embedding space.
Forcing structurally distant domain collisions moves it by ~0.28.
7× more. Same model, same brief.
So I built Open Collider: a pipeline based on the theory of bisociations (Koestler 1964), the same model that drives human creativity.
📊 Across 12 real-world ideation problems:
• 12/12 sign-test wins on embedding distance (p = .0002)
• 60%+ originality wins on 4,320 blind LLM-judge verdicts
• 4–13× further from the default cloud than "be original" prompts or longer context
• Idea relevance holds (win rate >50% on overall quality)
