Garrett Hampton shared thisFor nearly 90 years, the Jacobian Conjecture stood as one of mathematics' most famous open problems. Now, an AI-assisted discovery involving Claude Fable 5 may have uncovered a counterexample, offering a fascinating glimpse into how AI is evolving from a productivity tool into a genuine partner in scientific and mathematical discovery. I share why this matters, and why I believe formal mathematics and tools like Lean will become increasingly important in the years ahead. #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #Mathematics #STEM #MachineLearning #FormalMethods #LeanProver #Innovation #Research #Science #TechnologyAI Just Disproved a Long-Standing Mathematical Conjecture - The JacobianAI Just Disproved a Long-Standing Mathematical Conjecture - The Jacobian

Garrett Hampton shared thisDr. Ben Miles’ video on Microsoft's Majorana 2 chip is an incredibly insightful guide and a great reminder that quantum computing is starting to feel more like an engineering race and less like a distant theory. A 1,000x reliability leap is the kind of progress that could meaningfully change how we think about materials science, cryptography, optimization, and the next generation of computing. https://lnkd.in/gp5mSAHR #QuantumComputing #Microsoft #Majorana2 #EmergingTechnology #DeepTech #Innovation #FutureOfComputing

Garrett Hampton shared thisWe recently got access to Anthropic’s newly released Claude Fable 5, and the early results have been seriously impressive. We have already used it to help complete a couple of larger platform projects that had been sitting on the “we need to tackle this soon” list for far too long. The speed, reasoning, and ability to stay useful across larger tasks feels like a meaningful step forward, especially for complex engineering and platform work. Anthropic describes Fable 5 as being built for longer autonomous work across software engineering, knowledge work, vision, memory, and research tasks. That lines up with what we are seeing so far. This feels like a huge improvement, and I am looking forward to finding more places where Fable 5 can help us move faster across our platform. #AI #Anthropic #Claude #Fable5 #AgenticAI #SoftwareEngineering #PlatformEngineering #ArtificialIntelligence #TechLeadership

Garrett Hampton shared this🤫 💳 📊👨💻Garrett Hampton shared thisCan't go into all the details yet, but we are adding P-Card functionality to our platform! Very excited for this new feature/partnership to be released in MainStem! Wait, what does that mean? Operators will be able to issue Physical or Virtual Purchasing Cards from our MainStem platform. Customers will receive all the enterprise controls, data, automation, and finance workflows directly into your accounting system just like you do with other purchases made through our platform! MainStem has now extended it's enterprise coverage to include this category of spend, our goal is to get 100% coverage of an operator's spend to build the ultimate purchasing and finance ops platform for the cannabis industry! More to come in the next couple of weeks as we issue the press release.....

Garrett Hampton shared thisAnthropic has announced that Opus 4.8 has been shipped! Super excited to dig in!Garrett Hampton shared thisWe just shipped Claude Opus 4.8 and dynamic workflows! Claude Opus 4.8 is the most capable model we've put out and the best you can build on right now, outside the Mythos-class systems we're still testing under Project Glasswing. SWE-bench Pro went from 64.3 to 69.2. But the improvement I keep coming back to is honesty. Opus 4.8 is about 4x less likely than 4.7 to let a flaw in its own code slide past unremarked. It tells you what it's unsure of instead of dressing up thin progress as finished work. For anyone whose agents run with real oversight cost, that's worth more than another point on a leaderboard. That compounds on big, long-running jobs, which is why I'm most excited about dynamic workflows, launching in research preview today. Claude plans the work, fans out across hundreds of parallel subagents in a single session, and verifies its own output before handing it back, with 4.8 letting those agents run longer before they report. This is aimed at the work that used to take a quarter and a working group: codebase-scale migrations, sprawling refactors, and bug fixes across hundreds of thousands of lines, graded against the test suite you already trust. Available in Claude Code for Enterprise, Team, and Max. One practical note for fellow builders: Opus 4.8 defaults to "high" effort, and that's the right setting for most work. There's an "xhigh" level for the genuinely hard, long-running tasks. It's strong, but it's token hungry, so reach for it deliberately. We've made the headroom for it on both sides: higher rate limits for subscribers, and fast mode now 2.5x the speed at 3x lower cost ($10/$50) for API customers. Standard pricing is unchanged at $5/$25. Available today. More in the blog: https://lnkd.in/ggSctZyc

Garrett Hampton shared this“How do we orchestrate fleets of agents safely and effectively?” That feels like the next major question for engineering teams. OpenClaw, Hermes, Manus, and many others are pushing agentic AI forward at an incredible pace. What excites me most is watching the industry shift from “AI that responds” to “AI that operates.” I personally have been running Hermes Agent inside an isolated Linux environment recently, and I have been extremely impressed with its configurability, performance, and output quality. The future of AI is going to be far more than chatbots. #AI #AgenticAI #HermesAgent #NousResearch #OpenSource #LLM #ArtificialIntelligence #Automation #DevOps #Engineering #AutonomousSystemsHermes Agent and the Next Evolution of Autonomous AI SystemsHermes Agent and the Next Evolution of Autonomous AI Systems

Garrett Hampton reacted on thisGarrett Hampton reacted on thisThanks for everything, Price Intelligently. It’s been an amazing 4.5 years at ProfitWell, Paddle, and SBI, and as this chapter is closing I wanted to shout out all the amazing people I’ve gotten to work with over that time period. This has been such a fulfilling and rewarding chapter in my life, and I appreciate everyone who has been a part of this journey. I can’t wait for what’s next (more to share here soon)!

Garrett Hampton liked thisGarrett Hampton liked thisRecursive self-improvement is not here, and it is not inevitable. But on current trends, AI designing and building its own successors is no longer a fringe scenario, and neither is the loss-of-control risk that comes with it. No company or country can slow down alone, and we lack the technical and governance tools to pace frontier progress even if we wanted to. I signed this statement because it asks the US government to support an international effort to build that capability, and as a foreign national I see that effort as existential, not only for the liberties of the free world but for the prosperity of all. The statement and the full signatory list: https://lnkd.in/em4w_SmC

Garrett Hampton liked thisGarrett Hampton liked thisToday we’re launching DoorDash Air, our drone program designed and built in-house at DoorDash Labs! We earned Federal Aviation Administration Part 135 air carrier certification, clearing us to operate our own drone delivery service created specifically for local commerce. I believe it’s the next frontier of delivery, and what we’ve learned after years of progress is that you have to solve the full end-to-end system to find out what works and what scales with your customer. The aircraft is one unique challenge, but the bigger problem I’m most excited about is the ground infrastructure: enabling autonomy to work seamlessly inside one of the largest delivery networks in the world. A delivery drone or ground robot is worthless if it doesn't connect a customer who needs something with a local merchant selling it. Across billions of orders and millions of customers, we’ve been purposeful about building our Autonomous Delivery Network with the integration of drones and Dot in a way that helps businesses reach more customers faster. We attract builders. People come here to solve real problems and see their work show up in the physical world, not to sit in R&D hell or in a demo that never moves outside the lab. Read the full story on what we’re building, and if you want to help us solve some of the most interesting problems in autonomy, we’re hiring. ⬇️

Garrett Hampton liked thisGarrett Hampton liked thisNew York Cannabis C.O.D. List — July 24, 2026 New York requires licensed suppliers to report retailers that are delinquent in paying for cannabis products purchased on credit. Suppliers are also prohibited from continuing to extend credit to retailers appearing on the C.O.D. list. In the interest of transparency across New York’s licensed cannabis supply chain, I am publishing the current C.O.D. list available to licensed suppliers as of July 24, 2026. Inclusion on this list reflects delinquency reporting under 9 NYCRR §124.2. It does not necessarily mean that every listed retailer owes Veterans Holdings, and the list may change as payments and corrections are reported. Licensed suppliers should independently confirm the current status before extending credit. List below in comments

Garrett Hampton liked thisGarrett Hampton liked thisLaunching Claude Opus 5! It comes close to Claude Fable 5 across many domains at half the price. It's our fourth Claude 5 model in under two months, and the one I expect to be a solid daily driver for most people. Opus 5 is the new state of the art on knowledge work and on Frontier-Bench, where it more than doubles Opus 4.8's score at a lower cost per task. On CursorBench 3.2 at max effort, it lands within 0.5% of Fable 5's peak score at half the cost per task. And it beats every other model on performance at a given cost at high, xhigh, and max effort. It's much smarter at autonomous work than any benchmark suggests. It verifies its own work and iterates carefully until it succeeds, fixing root causes instead of symptoms, and building its own checks when the right ones don't exist. In one benchmark task, Opus 5 had to rebuild a machine part as a 3D CAD model from a drawing it had no way to view. So it wrote its own computer vision pipeline to pull the geometry from the raw pixels, and solved the task repeatedly, while no competing model solved it once in five attempts. Cristian Rivera, an engineer at Stripe, put it well: "Over one weekend, I gave it a chief-of-staff role over my dev environments: it built its own monitor, drove each box, and pulled me in only for the judgment calls." Opus 5 is for the work your teams run all day: coding, agents, knowledge work. Now with near-frontier capability at $5/$25 per million tokens, unchanged from Opus 4.8. Fable 5 remains the model for your most ambitious work: the days-long autonomous projects nothing else can take on. If you're on any Opus today, this is a great upgrade. Same API, same price, swap the model string. More in the blog: https://lnkd.in/gjX3jN3P

Garrett Hampton liked thisGarrett Hampton liked thisWhen I bought a janitorial company, I was told by several people that the business wasn't about cleaning. It was about marketing and sales. This appealed to me, because I like sales and didn’t know a ton about cleaning.. Unfortunately… that's some of the worst advice I've ever gotten. Sure I could win new business with ease, but not focusing on the cleaning also meant losing clients with ease. A couple slick one liners can trick anyone, but at the end of the day the training and the communication is the product, and if the product sucks, you won’t have the business for long. This business is about cleaning and communication. PERIOD. Every person on our crews is now trained before their first solo shift, and that training is documented, not assumed. When something needs attention, you hear from us before you have to ask. I spent too long chasing the "marketing and sales" version of this business. Done with that. My page is going to look a little different from here on. Less noise, more of the actual work.

A system and method for tracking the production and sale of regulated agricultural products, such as Cannabis products. Secure tracking of the products is done with containers that have specific security keys and attributes known only to the inventory tracking system, which allows secure tracking though the different phases of production, retailing, and sale. Retailers can monitor the products available for purchase, and can allow the producers to provide detailed information on attributes of products that the regulated retailer may consider when deciding upon a purchase. The system can also give the retailer the ability to create a customized interface displaying real-time inventory attributes of the products at the retailer.
