I'm David Walsh — Director of Technology Solutions. I write about the practice of building software: architecture, teams, and the quiet decisions that compound.
A new flagship that ships honesty as its headline, a frontier model too dangerous to release, and a coalition quietly finding ten thousand zero-days — what's confirmed, and what's still rumour.
Anthropic shipped a real dashboard for parallel Claude Code sessions. I rebuilt it in the browser — scrubbable, keyboard-driven — so you can feel the async-by-default shift in 90 seconds.
A small fast model reads every turn and decides whether you're done — closing the gap between 'Claude says it's finished' and 'the tests actually pass.'
Anthropic Labs' new product ingests a brand at the code level, hands off to Claude Code cleanly, and will lock you out for a week if you try to run three clients through it on a Tuesday.
Fifty chapters drafted in hours instead of the decade it would have taken by hand — and the Claude Code plugin that kept the manuscript from drifting as it scaled.
