They’re really leaning into the idea that coders are gonna become AI managers. Rather than managing all your coding agents manually, there's an inbox with ongoing tasks.

Nice! Just wondering, any benefits to using the python lib instead of the raw API? We've been using this for a while over at wapo. github.com/kevinschaul/...

Even after using this stuff for years, I rarely know whether something is going to work until I try it. Just me?

Tried to find some cheap ram in Atlas browser. Did a bunch of impressive looking clicking and then made up fake prices. Nice.✖️ https://kschaul.com/link/2025-10-21_just_tried_out_atlas/

Just tried out Atlas (OpenAI’s new browser). Asked it to find me some cheap ram.
3 mins later, it told me Microcenter’s best price was $299. I checked manually (took 10s) and found one at $183. None are $299.

My lukewarm take is that this might work sometimes for some tasks. But woof are the privacy and security implications bad. The risk/reward is hopelessly unbalanced.

Generated renderings of my dining room with different wallpapers while at the store. I find Image-to-image editing quite useful for stuff like this ✔️

Asked ChatGPT to check an Amazon link daily and let me know when the item was available for purchase. Every morning I got a message that the item was available. It wasn't. Pretty annoying that stuff like that still doesn't work.✖️

Asked ChatGPT to find a recent paper about a small AI model that did well on arc agi. Was pleasantly surprised that it found it immediately ✔️ https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.04871
