Claude (Anthropic’s Official Account)

Anthropic released its most significant connector updates yet for creative professionals. Claude now connects directly to Blender to debug 3D scenes, build tools, or modify all objects in batches; the main post received over 34000 likes. Also released were connectors for Adobe Creative Cloud, Ableton, Splice, Canva Affinity, SketchUp, and Resolume, plus a conversational Autodesk Fusion 3D modeling interface. Anthropic also joined the Blender Development Fund as a sponsor to support open-source development.

Amjad Masad, Replit CEO

Masad’s three posts this week were substantive. He said hiring people to create presentations was always frustrating, while AI now makes the process enjoyable; the post received over 410 likes. He also called GitHub’s continued stability amid a surge in machine-scale usage “an achievement in itself,” predicting free services will struggle to sustain bot traffic and suggesting micropayments—even a few cents per git push—to reduce abuse. That post received over 1100 likes. He also reposted support for an “education legend” reinventing education again, receiving over 3400 likes.

Guillermo Rauch, Vercel CEO

Rauch announced Vercel Labs’ expansion, with its mission explicitly shifting from building developer tools for humans to building tools for agents. He listed agent-native releases including agent-browser, portless, skills, and cache. The post received over 1000 likes, marking a strategic bet on agent infrastructure.

Thariq, Anthropic Claude Code Engineer

Thariq said the team is hunting Claude Code’s most annoying bugs and invited users to share their “white whales”—persistent, difficult problems. He specifically mentioned optimizing the “no flicker renderer” to become the default and identified his own white whale as CC sometimes freezing on large file writes, saying he had found the root cause.

Dan Shipper, Every CEO

Shipper proposed new terms: “Codex-native / Cowork-native / Cursor-native” applications, designed specifically for agents’ built-in browsers, where users and agents share full context and can see each other’s actions. He sees a major product opportunity. He also described browsing PostHog inside Codex: it writes queries, inspects results, and automatically initiates PRs or production database queries to corroborate insights, greatly improving collaboration.

Aaron Levie, Box CEO

Levie posted twice about agentic coding: sharing an inaccessible link, apparently to an external article, and clearly describing its beneficiaries. He sees equal value for developers, IT staff, domain experts, and curious people rather than an exclusive tool for programmers. The post received over 410 likes.

Zara Zhang, Builder

Zhang shared an agent-use insight: the most experienced AI users speak to just one agent daily, letting that orchestrator delegate to subagents rather than managing several directly. She also suggested generating SVG vectors instead of raster images, allowing seamless integration with HTML Slides’ design style. The post received over 120 likes.

Peter Steinberger, OpenClaw ClawFather

Steinberger shared an impressive workaround: when the GitHub API hit rate limits, Codex proactively opened a browser and clicked through the interface, actually entering a comment and closing an issue, entirely bypassing the API limits. He also announced progress in PR/Issue management, remote test execution, and CI infrastructure, receiving over 430 likes.

Garry Tan, Y Combinator CEO

Tan shared a new GStack feature: built-in Chromium with Claude Code as its CLI. Through /pair-agent, users can paste a string into OpenClaw/Hermes and let an agent remotely control the browser for login and data extraction, further expanding GStack automation.
