Claude formalized Fermat's Last Theorem in Lean — 13M lines, 11 days

First end-to-end computer-checked proof, ~6B tokens, now on GitHub. Plus VISTA sweeps ARC-AGI-3, Codenotch pins usage limits, and Codex takes notes.

    An internal model roughly on par with Claude Fable 5.1 formalized Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem in Lean 4 — working largely autonomously for 11 days and about 6 billion output tokens, clearing ~29,500 of 30,300 supporting theorems. It's the first end-to-end, machine-checked FLT proof, and the full repo plus a written walkthrough are public: a rare, concrete look at how a coding agent sustains a task over 5x the size of Mathlib.

  • VISTA wins all 25 public ARC-AGI-3 games

    VISTA is an open visual-reasoning harness that gives a multimodal model 'lossless visual memory' and drives it through unfamiliar games straight from raw pixels. Running Claude Opus 5.0 via the Claude Code CLI it clears all 25 public ARC-AGI-3 games at a perfect 100 human-action-efficiency (98.3 with GPT-5.6 Sol via the Codex CLI) — a harness you can point at your own pixel-based or long-horizon agent tasks.

  • Pin your Claude, Cursor, and Codex limits to the notch

    Codenotch is a free, MIT-licensed macOS app that pins live usage limits for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Antigravity to your screen edge — session percentages, reset times, and 429-aware polling. The caveat is honest: it reads unofficial, unstable endpoints, so expect breakage whenever a provider shifts them.

  • Codex learns to keep notes across context windows

    OpenAI shipped experimental context management for Codex: the agent keeps its own notes across context windows and can search back through earlier messages and tool outputs instead of re-compressing everything — while preserving prompt caching. Turn it on with features.context_management.experimental_mode = true (Plus/Pro now, default rollout planned).

  • Elsewhere: GitHub restores star-history tracking with a safe API

    GitHub added a REST endpoint that returns a repo's historical star counts with timestamps but no stargazer identities — reviving growth-tracking that broke when stargazer lists were locked to admins earlier this year. If you build trending boards, README badges, or dashboards, you can wire star history back in today.
