Tampered 2.1.312/2.1.313 builds of the Claude Code extension in Cursor's marketplace planted an SSH key and persistence. Who's affected, and what to check.
Five Claude Code presets, four real task types, 60 runs: the light presets passed every check at a tenth of the cost of Opus at high effort. How the harness, the graders and the fairness controls were built.
oCMS now ships a read-only MCP server: ten typed tools let Claude Code, Cursor and other agents search and read site content, with drafts hidden and every API key policy enforced.
OpenAI's GPT-5.6 (Sol, Terra, Luna) is a serious release — and that's good for everyone: better per-task quality, flexible token budgets, and a stronger Codex + Claude Code duo.
A hands-on take on Claude Fable 5: at the same effort level it's faster than Opus 4.8 with noticeably better code quality — but roughly a third of security audits get blocked by its widened cyber classifier and rerouted to Opus 4.8.
US export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 have been lifted; Fable 5 returns July 1 with a tighter cyber classifier (more false positives, Opus 4.8 fallback), a new industry jailbreak-severity framework, and deeper US government collaboration.
Anthropic's new Mythos-class model, Claude Fable 5, is its strongest coding and agentic model yet — cheaper than the preview, with a new safeguard layer that can fall back to Opus 4.8.
AI did not kill engineering. It killed the illusion that typing code was the hard part. In my Claude Code + Go + oCMS workflow, the human job moved upstream: intent, constraints, architecture, verification, and context discipline.
A 54-commit build diary: Claude Desktop drafted the spec, Claude Code executed it, and the result is a production-grade single-binary Go service scheduled by systemd.
Karpathy-style LLM Wiki over oCMS: 106 Markdown pages compiled by Claude Code in one evening, ten documentation contradictions surfaced, wikilint enforcing invariants, CLAUDE.md making the wiki consultable for agents.
