New in Claude for Legal: a gallery of ready-made artifacts for contract review, regulatory horizon scans, cite checks, and more.
Start from the built-in example, add your own documents and connectors, and share it with anyone across the business.

Anthropic & OpenAI both re-rated their run rates in 2026 by segmenting : a mandatory enterprise repricing against an 80% price cut on the cheapest tier.

Looking forward to this. Much needed! 🙏
Boring Company is working on a simple, precursor Hyperloop tunnel between Austin and San Antonio (>200 mph).
Due to traffic congestion, that journey can currently take up to 2.5 hours. @BoringCompany can reduce that to a consistent <30 mins.

Honestly our design team is so core our identity at Modal. We have a high bar for the product itself, but also the website, the swag, the events, etc. It all reinforces that high bar, especially in a world of too much corny boomer slop.
last week I hit my 3 years at @modal where i've been leading design across product + brand and slowly building out our team. we've been investing more in brand as the company has grown and i'm excited to announce that @studiojud has joined us as our Director of Brand.
we worked together last fall as Studio Jud's first client, and i've spent the last year slowly convincing him to join 💚
...and we’re hiring more designers: modal.jobs

The market is telling us that we should be 3x more productive with AI.
What if that productivity gain is just an AI working 24 hours a day while a human works eight?

Does the token supply chain also experience the bullwhip effect?
Here's my explanation of this classic phenomenon and what it means for AI data centers.

We're making Git hosting more reliable, performant, and scalable.
This post traces 20 years of Git infrastructure and explains how that history led us to design and operate our Git storage, Origin, as if it were a database.

The people leaving Austin now, are doing it because their head is in the sand.
FYI it looks like we are going to blow through this projection.

BREAKING: The bipartisan act to legalize supersonic flight just passed Senate Commerce Committee *unanimously*. It was previously passed by the House, also *unanimously*.
Supersonic flight isn't red or blue—it's red, white, and blue! 🇺🇸

Today we share the worldview behind our mission.
Human values don't average out. Local knowledge can't be centralized. The good future has many AIs, raised in different places, shaped by the people they serve, disagreeing with each other the way we do.

Usually pretty skeptical of Yet Another Agent Context library but the idea of "React - for data engineering." is really smart.
Instead of the agent pulling the data, the idea of the "delta of the data" pushing to the agents is very cool!
Caveat: I haven't installed it yet, will be doing so shortly.
Super excited that @cocoindex_io made to Python trending! Built on Rust Core, CocoIndex provides ultra performant python-native experience that turns codebases, PDFs, Slack, inboxes, and videos into a continuously updated index your LLM app can reason over.
CocoIndex has been showing up on Rust trending quite a few times in the past year. and with V1 launch, we have added more connectors and examples and made python takes bigger half of the repo.
Stay tuned as we ship Rust SDK and more examples, and we may go back to Rust trending again later ;)

$9.75b in 12 months.
Five AI companies committed that much to forward-deployed engineering — embedding engineers inside customers to install & operate AI.
The FDE model has gone from a Palantir signature to an industry default with 1/4 of Accenture's labor budget.

The pursuit of excellence does not need justification.
Mind boggling to me that I can make a thing faster and there's always people that ask "but why?" What kind of mentality is that? The pursuit of excellence does not need justification. Also, I find in so many cases, we can't know the impact of an improvement until we do it.
For example, one I've talked about before: Ghostty's high IO throughput has enabled terminal program (emulator and TUI) fuzzing at a speed thats incomparably fast to prior solutions. This has resulted in upstream patches to resolve issues in popular projects like btop, tmux, and more.
Speed enabled that anecdotally example that lifted the tides of adjacent communities that don't rely on Ghostty technology at all. I didn't predict this.
Make things better because they can be better and let the results naturally play out.
