How Vercel AI Gateway keeps Anthropic models online
#1 𝕏
Guillermo Rauch built multiple token origins for Anthropic’s models in Vercel AI Gateway to keep them online nearly 100% of the time, and rolled out routing rules to automatically swap out any retired model.

OpenAI PM Reveals How He Uses Codex to Do Product Work | Rohan Varma
Peter Yang
Rohan Varma uses the OpenAI Codex app (agent control plane) to pull context from Slack, Notion, Linear and Google Drive; automate Slack reply triggers; prototype UI variants via the built-in ImageGen skill; and convert Notion documents into live Sites.
- Codex integrates with Slack, Notion, Linear, email and Google Drive to synthesize thousands of daily feedback messages, enabling onboarding to a new project with full context in 20 minutes.
- Invoking the "imagegen" skill with a single screenshot in Codex produced four distinct UI mockups for a project-selection interface in under a minute and then generated a live prototype via the Sites feature.
- Codex was instructed to schedule a daily automation that parses a Slack channel for feedback, creates or updates Linear issues, and posts a summary in Slack to Rohan Varma, deleting the automation after each run.

Some new agentic patterns - Prime Radiant runs agents like Scribble, Nora, Spec-together and a new Sen built on Lace; Sen 2.0’s architecture prevents the main agent from communicating externally, uses ephemeral subagents for external actions, stores all credentials in a 1Password vault, and gates credential use through an arbiter agent that issues random tokens which a transparent MITM proxy rewrites into real credentials. For browser-only logins the subagent fills a temporary random password via superpowers-chrome and a helper tool replaces it with the real password after arbiter approval, and development work happens in a Claude Code session connected to Slack via the Slackline command-line client.

sqlite-utils 4.0rc2, mostly written by Claude Fable (for about $149.25) - A long-form post describing the author's experiment using Claude Fable to help prepare sqlite-utils 4.0rc2, including motivations, workflow, and outcomes of using LLM assistance.

Antidote: Optimizing for You - Antidote is a new evaluation that measures which answer users would still be pleased with a month later, graded by domain experts, in contrast to LMArena which measures instant preference. It aims to capture long-term usefulness rather than two-second choices.
#7 📝 Surge AI Blog
Deeper Instructions, Stronger Generalization: Training on ComplexConstraints - Surge trained a 4B model on 1,000 expert-written rubrics from the ComplexConstraints benchmark and achieved parity with a model 60x larger. The improvements transferred to external benchmarks the model had never seen, demonstrating that richer instruction data can yield stronger generalization.

Growing on Purpose: The Work That Makes You. Jeremy Howard on human flourishing in the time of AI. - Jeremy Howard — founder of Fastmail, co‑founder of fast.ai and founding CEO of Answer.ai, and author of the ULMFiT technique — cites 30–50 years of research (including a review of hundreds of experiments) to argue that self‑determination theory’s dimensions of autonomy, mastery, relatedness and purpose produce human flourishing, with authentic motivation boosting vitality, creativity and performance rather than just productivity. He also highlights behavioral activation as comparably or more effective than antidepressants for lifting depression, defines flow (illustrated by racing a motorcycle around Phillip Island) and warns of “dark flow,” while focusing his practical recommendations on autonomy and mastery as work changes under AI.
