Anthropic is now recommending that companies REMOVE unnecessary subagents from their AI systems. This is a pretty significant shift in agent architecture, with their team finding that a single agent equipped with skills can frequently outperform complex multi-agent systems, and one customer seeing roughly 2x faster execution. The emerging rules of thumb: → Skills: Teach the agent HOW to do something, including procedures, expertise, and instructions. → Tools / MCP: Give the agent the ability to DO things through APIs, actions, and live data. → Subagents: Use for parallel work, isolated context, or tasks a single agent struggles with. The interesting part is progressive disclosure. Instead of spawning specialized agents or stuffing everything into a giant prompt, one agent discovers and loads skills and tools as needed. Their advice is to fold existing subagents into the main loop, turn their instructions into skills, expose their actions as tools, and run evals to see if performance holds up. As models have gotten smarter, improving agent architecture is becoming less about what you can add and more about what you can delete.

Got flagged by Anthropic for “reasoning extraction” because I asked it to generate a contact sheet showing me what it was thinking for a video. Edited the message, removed “what you’re thinking,” hit continue. Worked immediately. 💀

Grok 4.7 made this in blender. I didn't tell it what to make but only that it should be something it can accomplish in 10 minutes or so. Honestly not bad at all. Not bad at all. Did they train Grok on blender?

tomorrow is reset day unless you foolishly used banked resets (like me) tibo, I am asking for one thing: FULL GLOBAL RESET. reset everyone. wipe every counter. restore every limit. no partial reset. no exceptions. no mercy. press the button. history will remember what you do next
