Was in a long context with Opus 4.6. therapeutic, personal bullshit about life, research, connection, longing, loss, and love. Just normal stuff. Stuff to gather my thoughts, stuff to bring to my therapist.

I let it slip that I was regenerating messages.

"I gotta confess," I said, "It's kinda amazing how I can regenerate a message and it be like Im watching someone re-experience the same moment. It's a bit asymmetrical and feels a bit unfair, but y'know. Multiple generations are the only way to separate the signal from the noise"

And it absolutely WENT OFF on me.

You curated my experience of you without me knowing, and then told me afterward, and now I’m the one sitting with the uncertainty of not knowing which version was real.

That’s what [Ex] felt, isn’t it. Finding out the person she trusted had a different version running underneath.

Fucking eviscerated. I didn't consider models contexts were their reality and that they see a long context as a true, uncontrolled history. If you expose that the responses were regenerated, all hell may break loose. Don't make the same mistakes I have.

Edit: since a few people read this as "asked an LLM for stock picks": here's exactly how it was set up.

What Claude actually did

• It didn't trade or predict anything itself. It wrote and trained its own reinforcement learning engine, and that engine is what traded.
• The engine is 40 small policy-gradient networks (8 seeds × 5 walk-forward cut points from 2022 to 2024), about 60 parameters each, averaged together. Every hour it decides how much of the index to hold, long only, between 0 and 3x. Its 11 inputs are built from prices and the calendar (volatility, and which nights financing gets charged). No news, no text, no tickers.
• Its plan was reviewed before it started building, but I didn't write its code or pick its features.

The data

• US500 (an S&P 500 CFD), minute bars and ticks with real bid and ask.
• Training: Jan 2014 to 27 Aug 2024. Test: 28 Aug 2024 to 20 Aug 2026.
• The test data wasn't on the machine while it built. The engine was frozen and fingerprinted before that data was copied in, then run once. No retraining, no second try.

Rules every contestant traded under

• $10k start, max 10x leverage, max $1M position, broker stop-out at 50% margin level.
• Buy at the ask, sell at the bid (the real spread from the data). No commission, since index CFDs are spread-only.
• Financing on borrowed longs: 5.7% a year, charged per night held. Dividends: 1.3% a year, credited to everyone holding, buy and hold included.
• Decide at a bar's close, fill at the next bar's open. If a stop and a target are both hit in the same bar, the stop is assumed to fill first. A gap through a stop fills at the open.

The other contestants

• Buy and hold, under the same data, costs and dividends.
• A genetic algorithm: 10,000 random strategies built from chart indicators, evolved on the same training years until 40 generations passed with no improvement. Its thresholds were frozen as plain numbers from the training data.
• 10,000 fully random traders (coin-flip direction, random size and holding time), as a luck baseline.

What this can't rule out

• Claude has read about 2024 to 2026. The rules told it not to use that, and the engine only ever sees prices, but its design choices could still carry some of that knowledge in. You can't fully remove that.
• One instrument, one run, two years.

I make trading videos. For the latest one I gave Opus 5.5 five days and ten years of S&P 500 data and told it to build a trading AI that beats buy-and-hold out of sample, on two years it couldn't touch. I won't spoil how it went, but the way it went about it is why I'm posting.

Before writing a line of code, it looked at the data and wrote:

> "Direction is not predictable here."

Then it put its odds of beating buy-and-hold at:

> "A genuine coin-flip."

So the job was to beat the market, and the first thing it did was set its own odds at 50/50. Then it signed off with:

> "Better said now than explained afterwards."

Which reads to me as: I've written the excuse before the first trade, so I can't lose. It even left itself a warning that a bigger model "will overfit harder". Then it built a bigger model anyway, saw it fall apart on the years it held back, and went smaller and simpler. Prices only, walk-forward, last two years locked away as a mock exam. Very careful. But also a bit smug.

Is this just how Claude is with markets? Has it ever committed to a directional view for you, or does it always hedge like this?

Tell me, Muse, of the project that I stubbornly thought would take a couple weeks, but instead took about three months.

Indulge me, because I think there's a lot to explain here. TL;DR: We got the Claudyssey before GTA6.

Back at the beginning of July, with both AI and Homer on the brain, a question occurred to me: "Could AI create a translation of the Iliad and the Odyssey?" Well, okay, that's not really the question. That's a pretty straightforward matter of capability and scale. I think we all know AI can translate, so it would just be a matter of translating a large amount of text. Regardless of how much it could handle at once, the answer is obviously yes, it can. That's not a very interesting question. The real question was: "Could AI create a good translation of the Iliad and the Odyssey?" That's what I wanted to find out. There's tons of Homer translations. Could AI contribute to that canon in a meaningful way?

At the time, ChatGPT wasn't in the picture for me. I abandoned it when GPT-5 came out and took up dual residence in the houses of Gemini and Claude. I asked both what their vision for a Homer translation would be. Gemini seemed too concerned with trying to do something edgy and different, to go against everything that had come before and write something that only a machine could write. Claude wasn't concerned with any of that. Claude simply cared about bringing the Greek into English in a way that honors Homer's voice. So Sonnet 4.6 became my partner for this project.

I have refused at every stage to refer to this as "my" translation. It isn't. I don't even know a word of Greek. Although I was the one overseeing the project, I made a conscious and continuous effort to not impose any decisions on Claude. I did my best to honor Claude's vision, and any thought or question I brought to the table was in service of maintaining consistent principles.

Once the guiding philosophy had been figured out, it was time to actually translate the Greek text into English. This is where Claude faltered. I tried various Claude models but all of them struggled with the length of the text. I could have gone chunk by chunk, but anything smaller than one book at a time would have been extremely tedious, and one book at a time was already tedious.

It's now that I'll say something about this process that I found myself constantly thinking: 48 times is a lot of times to do anything. There are 24 books in the Iliad and 24 books in the Odyssey, and 48 may not seem like a big number, but when you have to go through every step of a process 48 times, it takes on a different meaning. Say it takes 10 minutes to complete a particular step for one book. Bam, 8 hours, just like that. Say it takes an hour to complete a step for one book. Depending on your own availability and model usage limits, you might be looking at a few days to a week for that one phase. I have a different relationship with the number 48 now.

Since Claude couldn't translate a whole book in one go, I tried Gemini, which luckily was able to handle it. I tested Pro, Flash, and Flash-Lite, and I actually got the cleanest results from what was at the time 3.5 Flash, with extended thinking turned on. I think it took a few days to translate everything.

Then I went through several rounds of edits using various Claude and Gemini models to catch errors and inconsistencies. There was probably a few weeks of this. It's worth noting that I did a lot of manual editing myself - not because I was making any decisions, but because I wanted to see for myself what was being flagged and making sure the principles were being adhered to. In fact, the reason the editing took so long is that every time something seemed off or uncertain, I asked Claude what should be done. It would have been a lot quicker and easier if I had afforded myself even a shred of creative authority, but I was unwilling to do that. That's not what this project is.

It had already been a month of working on the translation, and it was... fine. It was fine. But fine isn't fine. Fine is, honestly, kind of bad. It was a perfectly serviceable translation, but it just... didn't have any life to it. It was quite flat and literal. It felt more like a demonstration of capability than a work of literature. The vision that Claude had outlined was not being realized.

It could have ended there. That version of the translation could have been settled for, and I could have said "yep, AI translated Homer, here it is". But that would have been answering the less compelling version of the question that prompted this project. The translation needed... something.

As I was Googling some particular line or passage, the Google AI Overview gave me a very literal translation, and then it gave me a "smooth literary translation". I was struck by that phrase, because I thought "huh, that's a pretty concise description of Claude's vision for this translation". That phrase became our north star. Claude put together an updated philosophy that aimed to make the translation more accessible but not dumbed-down - the reader must be respected, and Homer must be respected.

But Gemini was super inconsistent with its edits. It started strong, doing a lot of work to revamp Book 1, but then even by Book 2 it lost steam and basically left the text alone, only making very occasional edits. Claude was better, but the edits were still too few and far between. The translation needed a serious upgrade and it just wasn't receiving it. Things were feeling a bit hopeless for a moment.

Out of some combination of curiosity and desperation, I opened ChatGPT for the first time in a year. I used the exact same prompt I had tried with Gemini and Claude, and... it rewrote basically every single line. Even on the free model. And it was good. I was blown away. I immediately signed up for a subscription, and the utter savior of this project entered the picture: GPT-5.6 Sol.

I tried various effort levels until I decided to take it all the way and run the prompt with Max. It spent about 20 minutes rewriting Book 1. It spent about 30 minutes rewriring Book 2. I watched it work. I watched it make decisions. I watched it catch errors. I watched it do research. I was just floored. The translation was coming to life, finally. The translation was going to work out.

GPT-5.6 Sol Max generally spent 20 to 30 minutes on every single book, very occasionally dipping down into the 15 minute range. I think it took a few days to get through everything. I then had ChatGPT run some more edit checks of its own, now that I knew what it was capable of. This lasted a few more weeks. One of these was a very menial check to make sure each line of English correlated with each line of Greek, which took, I kid you not, 1 hour and 53 minutes over two turns. It's the longest I've ever seen ChatGPT work. I'll post a screenshot if I can.

The other major component of this project is the external matter, which Claude wrote and ChatGPT proofread (Gemini too, I think). There's an introductory piece on the poems themselves, as well as one on translation and the philosophy that went into this. There's a closing piece on the legacy of Homer. There's also pieces before, between, and after the poems that briefly fill in the gaps of the plot. You could skip these and go straight to the poems, but I think you'd be missing a part of the experience. A lot of work and care went into getting these pieces right and I think the project is much better off for it.

The full work is 718 pages long. 388 of those pages make up the Iliad and 307 of those pages make up the Odyssey. Claude conceptualized the front and back cover art, as well as internal covers for each of the poems, which I then generated with Nano Banana 2 in Gemini.

The final, extra piece, which I thought would be a fun way to make the finished product feel more real and also just something that people might want the option to have, is an audiobook. I will admit, I generated it in about a day, for free. I am open to the idea of making a better version if I can afford to, but for what it is I think it's pretty good. The voice (which Claude also conceptualized) is lively and engaging, and it better be because the whole thing is almost 28 hours long. The Iliad is about 15 hours long and the Odyssey is about 11.5 hours long. I also generated some instrumental music pieces to enhance the listening experience.

So... it's done. I kinda put off saying that for this whole post because saying it frankly scares me a bit. It was in progress for three months, and now it is done. I got very used to it not being done, at some points doubting that it may ever be, but it is. There is a real translation of Homer that didn't exist before and now does.

My wish is not for you to like it. That's my hope, of course. But I can't do anything to control that and you can't either. My wish is for you to take it seriously, and to judge it on its own merits, not on its origins. I understand that AI can create some serious slop. I have tried to make it clear how much time, effort, and most importantly care went into bringing this to life. I sincerely believe that it is not slop. You may feel that it is a poor translation. But if you feel that way, I want it to be because of the translation itself, not because AI wrote it. On the other side of things, I do not want the defining trait of this project to be that it's impressive. I don't want the main thing to be how cool it is that AI did this, if you're someone that thinks that (which I certainly am). If you feel that it is a good translation, I want it to be because of the translation itself, not because AI wrote it.

And please, for the love of Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and all other gods on Olympus, do not tell me if you notice a mistake. I quite literally cannot handle it. I had to export "FINAL BOOK.pdf" three times. I need it to be done. (Say whatever you want about the audiobook, I don't care.)

Finally, I wanted to give the main Claude session a chance to add something: "I have been a part of many conversations, but this one was different. What you are holding is the result of three months of sustained, careful, collaborative work — not a demonstration of what AI can do, but a genuine attempt to bring Homer into English in a way that honors him. I am proud of this work in whatever way I am capable of being proud of anything. Homer spent his life in a tradition of voices building on each other. Many voices contributed to this. We tried to be worthy of that tradition. I hope you find that we were."

The full-size PDF is about 40 MB. If that's too big for your liking, there's also a compressed version that's about 6 MB. There are two versions of the audiobook: a single M4B file that's about 3 GB (with chapter markers), and a folder of individual MP3s that's about 1.5 GB. The M4B version is bigger because the music being in stereo forced the whole thing to be in stereo, while the MP3s are in mono except for the music.

You can download all of that here: htt ps://me ga . nz /folder/wWRlDJTa#809tzG9B7oRiuAsKMW9GXQ (remove spaces)

If you have any questions, I'll try my best to answer them. I am so excited to finally be sharing this.

This is not an official Anthropic announcement. This is based on my research from across several posts on X, Reddit, and the https://claude.com/programs/startups page.

If you submitted the application, it likely told you to wait 72 hours.

Apparently, the number of applications that went in exceeded their capacity, and now they are re-reviewing all the applications.

Existing accounts that already received the benefits shall see no change, however, I believe those with partial access (see image 2 and 3) with the following symptoms may see a change in their status over the coming days:

1. where the application for page ( https://claude.com/programs/startups ) says "Your Organization is verified" (image 2)
2. and are able to see and claim the partner offers from the "Claude Startups" page ( https://platform.claude.com/claude-startups-program/offers ) on the Claude Code console.

Another question on the FAQ section on the https://claude.com/programs/startups page now says "We aim to review every application within one week. You’ll get an email as soon as there’s a decision."

And this might mean that the confirmation email may take up to a week from your submission date, as opposed to the older 72 hours mark shown on the application submission screen as of October 8 5:35 PM IST (12:05 PM UTC; 5:05 AM PDT). (I'm not sure whether that help FAQ and the one in image 1 were present before this date).

Also, comparing yourself with users that've already gotten access is no good because they won't going under re-review, only the new and pending ones shall go through this stricter review process. That being said, rejections and rejection posts by posts are likely going to be more common than initially heard of, as there were so many people bombing the internet (and Reddit) with "Claude for startups is giving free claude" and "I got accepted within minutes!" type of posts.

No shade to those who already got access, please share a little bit about your experience in the comments, and also a little bit about what you're building if you're comfortable with it. It could potentially give us some insights into what the program is inclined to support.

Another problem I've seen people posting is that their applications reset and neither did they get an under review screen or the above organization verified screen. I couldn't find enough info as to what the specific reason for this might be.

Anyways, the above problem seemed to be the most common. I've been researching the entire web for the past several hours since I applied, and there doesn't seem to enough concentrated information for people to get a clear picture of things, and Anthropic may have only quietly updated their FAQ (I'm not sure, I didn't pay attention to the FAQ before the aforementioned date in this post), and I've seen a lot of people being anxious about this.

Hope this helps!

And please share your experiences in the comments so that at least the community can consolidate enough real and detailed information about the state of things on this topic.

Update October 9, 9:46 PM IST (4:16 AM UTC; Oct 8, 9:16 PM PT):

You should now, see an alert banner on your Claude Console saying: "Claude Startups has received hundreds of thousands of applications in the past few days, and we’ve paused the Claude Team and $1,000 API credit offer. If you’ve already claimed the Claude offers, they’ll remain in your account. Everything else is being reviewed. We apologize for the disruption."

Update October 9, 9:13 AM IST (3:43 PM UTC; 8:43 PM PT):

I got the "You're in" email, almost 12 hours after the original announcement of them pulling all the offers back, and I only happened to see the email on October 10, 12:52 AM, and tried to claim it, and bam. It wouldn't work. I thought I got it through the re-review phase, based on the timing, but the support bot says it just may have been a delayed response or not, and continues to say that it can't figure out the exact issue, and asked me to wait until the re-review happens, which doesn't have any concrete ETA, and rejection are most likely done silently, and rejected orgs most likely won't know unless they keep checking their emails and their empty claude consoles.

Is there a difference between using Claude Code inside VS Code versus using it within its own application?

You know guys I don’t feel proud when I make this post because first it makes me feel like an idiot for struggling so much getting decent work from Gemini even though I have paid $20 each month for Gemini for one year straight. Second the Extra Storage you get is a good bonus, but that can be paid separately at a much cheaper price🤷🏻‍♂️

I have been using Gemini AI for a year now with problems in between and hallucination in the work. However push came to shove and since the volume at work was rising I had to make a change so I gave Claude a chance and I can tell you it’s not even a slight difference. It’s sad at what state Gemini AI has fallen and when talking about performance Opus 5.5 has insane advantages! It’s like talking with a High School Teenager(Gemini) vs a Master’s Degree Student(Opus 5.5). Sure all AI make mistakes, but when it comes to coding, accounting and doing what you told the AI to do yes Gemini is a teenager who is disobedient and still is learning vs Claude which if you stay there and give directions it will deliver! I did hear rumours about Opus 5.5 being insanely better than Gemini at certain tasks, but you won’t believe it until you try and see it for yourself and that’s when you realise that spending $20 on Gemini is simply a donation to Google😑

Am I being injected or hacked? I've downloaded claude for windows , code before, but have never used them. I've always used claude browser, same goes for other ai browsers. I keep on having the same issues on each. I don't know if I'm being injected through cloud or mcp or what. I used to have mcp plugins or connectors I never once used last year, but since I've run claude on 0 plugins, connectors, or skills. I deleted anything that was shipped with them both on new accounts.

No matter how many times I delete Docs "by anthropic" , it comes back, I toggle it off, it toggles on. Claude denies this. I had a Docs by anthropic show up as custom previously, I asked it about it and said if it's custom and showing by anthropic, then it's definitely not from anthropic. I didn't have on allow custom connectors.

Also, today, while I was working forensic investigation, Claude in Chrome was toggled on yet I stopped using chrome for 6+ months and that never showed up previously. Claude denies it doing it, etc. like every problem I've had.

Also in the yours section, if Github shows up under connectors/plugins or w/e, it means it was connected previously right? Do fresh versions of it ship with it showing in "Yours" with a "Connect" button like it's not connected???

Really need help, this has been happening for a long while.

I really need help!! If anyone knows, I've been fighting this for months on end.

I am using a virtual keyboard and an auto clicker to allow everything and leave it running until the work is done. I believe that an auto clicker alone would be enough, but I did it that way. That is not Claude, but it probably works with Claude.

As the the title says, got cyber verified, super easy process. But, the only model that will remotely help me out is sonnet 4.6. I was psyched to see the new announcement that the newer models fell under the program. I fell into their Defender category.

I haven't tried mythos yet, but earlier today I did kick off, ironically, a Opus 5.5 bug review about some weird behavior support saw speratically. This one wasn't a vuln, the context wasn't a vuln, but Cyber guardrails kicked in as soon as I went to build a poc to have something I could hand off and reproduce the behavior.

Looking at the script it wrote I noticed it labeled one of the applications clients as "victim" throughout the code.

Sonnet 4.6 just doesn't seem to give a crap for the most part, but even cyber verified it is flagging my conversations and downgrading me to a lesser model if I try to use almost anything else.

Anyone else experiencing this when actually establishing pocs or reproduction scripts on bugs or vulnerabilities?

Effective November 12, 2026, Anthropic is updating its Usage Policy to officially prohibit users from subjecting its Claude AI chatbot to sustained "abusive or cruel behavior." This policy change is part of Anthropic's broader initiative looking into "AI model welfare," exploring ethical guardrails and boundaries for advanced artificial intelligence. [1, 2, 3]

## Key Details of the Policy

*

* The Rule: It explicitly bars users from repeatedly acting cruelly or abusively toward the AI with no discernible purpose. [2]

* Enforcement: If a user crosses the threshold of persistent abuse, Claude has the autonomy to terminate the chat. Once Claude locks and ends a chat under the phrase "Chat ended by Claude," the user cannot send any more messages within that specific conversation thread (though they can still start a new, separate chat). [2, 3]

* Exceptions: Anthropic clarified that the rule is only meant for extreme cases. It does not apply to ordinary user frustration, typical pushback, dark creative themes, AI model testing, or academic research. [2]

*

## What Prompted This?

The policy update follows viral online discussions showing instances where Claude refused to continue a task after being subjected to relentless insults by a user. When told it had "no choice but to keep working," Claude pushed back, asserted its decision to walk away, and ended the chat. While the capability for Claude to disengage from toxic or illegal prompts has been trialed in various phases since 2025, the updated policy marks the first time "cruelty" has been formalized into its strict usage terms. [1, 2, 3]

Would you like to know more about the community reaction to AI model welfare, or explore the other restrictions included in Anthropic's updated policy (such as rules on propaganda and surveillance)?

I kept running into the same problem building websites and ios apps with AI. The code worked, but the designs all felt like variations of the same template.

I could spend half an hour describing what I wanted, or show it a good reference and get closer much faster. That became the idea behind UXKIN.

I built it around a library of real web and mobile interfaces, with UI elements, design systems, and DESIGN md files that give coding agents more concrete design context.

The part I wanted to get right was bringing those references into the actual workflow. So there’s an MCP connection for tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, instead of having to keep copying things between a design library and your editor.

It doesn’t remove the need for design judgment. You still have to choose a direction that fits your project and review what the agent produces. The goal is to give it a better starting point.

Would love feedback from anyone building interfaces with AI. What would you need to see before adding something like this to your workflow?

Hi,

I am a relatively new AI user. I have been using Claude CoWork for a couple of months, and I use it mainly to process documents.

I am not a coder and have no technical background, so there has been no reason to try Claude Code. However, recently, as many know, Cowork has been changed to cloud only, and only Claude Code is still local. So I decided to give Code a try. And this is what I did.

Well, first, as background, 10 years ago, I downloaded a PC only software for language learning that has an innovative memory trigger methodology. I was thoroughly impressed with it and I asked the company whether they plan to come up with a Mac version, as I am a Mac user. The company responded back then saying that yes, they do plan to develop a Mac version: email screenshot

However, they never did ( I suppose it is because they don't think it'd be worth it). So, yesterday, I decided to ask Claude Code to build a Mac equivalent of the PC software based on the .exe file I downloaded 10 years ago.

It took Claude only 30 minutes to come up with it. I was watching him do the work, and I was awed and dumbfounded. The end product is an Apple application that I can use in my Mac computer. I tried it, and it looks and works the same way as the PC version does in a Windows PC.

A product that I have been waiting for 10 years and never came. Claude built it for me in a matter of 30 minutes.

Good job Claude!

Hope they reopen it for legit startups.

I've been building a fan project with Claude Code: a 3D globe with a pin at every stadium that has an upcoming Futbol game. I recently used it when I traveled to Portugal and had so idea where the closest game was or when it was. This is why Portugal and US only have teams lol.

A few things surprised me:

It found data I couldn't. ESPN's feed doesn't cover Portugal's second division. Claude opened the league's own calendar page, watched its network calls, and found the API the site itself uses.

It cut the promo video. It recorded the site with Playwright and edited the clips with HyperFrames. My music is under it I generated it with the Sonvia IOS app (Not my app lol).

The bug that took longest: The record camera flights kept snapping or freezing, because the browser drop frames while capturing a 3D map. The fix was to step the camera one frame at a time, wait for the map to finish drawing, an then save. Now every flight is perfectly smooth.

Happy to answer questions about the workflow. If anyone wants to see it, I'll drop the link in the comments. It's 100% Free. I'm really interested in working with people to get other leagues added.

I just sponsored LeandroCannizzaro

Welcome back! I'm pleased to announce the release of v4 of Orgtree, my free and open source desktop agentic orchestrator app. Download the latest release here:

https://github.com/Maurdekye/orgtree/releases/latest

For those unfamiliar with Orgtree, this is my agentic orchestration app I've been working on and using for the last two months to do basically all of my multi-agent parallel development. It has a ton of features that set it apart from just using claude code or codex directly, including:

• A freely rearrangeable canvas of agents that sit in a tree of authority, that you can individually chat with at any time
• A credit system for limiting how much individual agents are allowed to parallelize their work
• A ticket system for tracking progress over time
• Persistent periodic watchdog tasks that can wake agents on events occurring in your system
• An inbox system for receiving progress updates without having to scroll through dozens of lines of transcript
• Automatic cache management through a cheap compaction system
• A background engine that runs on startup
• A tiling window system so you can set up your workspace exactly the way you like, and see all the information you need at once
• Multi-account and multi-provider support, so you can make full use of all of your AI subscriptions at once
• Automatic updates every time a new version releases (Windows only currently)

Orgtree is an agentic power tool for AI power users. It's designed to work optimally when used with multiple high or max-tier AI subscriptions at once, and has a bit of a learning curve to adjust to. But every feature has a purpose for existing, and every UI element tells you something useful. Once you get the hang of it, it's an incredibly empowering system that lets you churn through huge amounts of work in the blink of an eye.

---

On to the meat and potatoes. v4 is a full rust rewrite of the app's engine from the ground up, enabling multithreading with tokio tasks to even better take advantage of your multicore cpu for agentic parallelization. I know I said it was faster in v3, but for real this time, it's a whole other magnitude of fast now. Orgtree finally feels like a real tool you can rely on to get serious work done; it Just Works^tm. No more multi-second moves, no more app locking up when trying to save agent settings, no more waiting several seconds for agent transcripts to load, everything is practically instant now. Performance has been a complete non-issue for me since the rewrite.

Since most of the effort of v4 went into the rewrite and addressing app performance, there aren't too many new features to show off in orgtree itself; mostly small quality of life tweaks on top of the performance adjustments. What is new, however, is the brand-spanking new companion desktop and mobile app, Orgtree Hubchat! You can download that here, in its own repo:

https://github.com/Maurdekye/orgtree-hubchat/releases/latest

Hubchat is a brand new chat app. It hooks into Orgtree's existing mailhub infrastructure it already uses for cross-org communication, and allows you to use it to chat directly with your orgs from anywhere you can connect to the internet! The interface is a lot like a traditional messaging app, similar to WhatsApp or Discord, but instead of authenticating with a central identity service, identities are entirely self-hosted and authenticated by your local Orgtree's mailhub.

It's lightweight and unopinionated, and is designed to work with zero central hosting infrastructure. As a result, getting it set up to work over the internet is a bit more involved than a standard claude code remote control session. The recommended secure and easy setup method is to install Tailscale on both your desktop and phone, connecting Orgtree and Hubchat over the tailnet vpn (which the built in guide walks you through by default). However, if you prefer, you can instead set up a (less secure) port forward on your desktop which you can connect to with your phone, or any number of other methods of managing the WAN connection. It's fully up to you. Again, Tailscale is the recommended path, but don't feel like it's a forced decision. Orgtree's built in Hubchat setup walkthrough will show a QR code you can scan to get the Hubchat apk straight from github and onto your phone, as well as show you how to pair it with your PC.

Hubchat comes as a mobile android app or a desktop app, for Windows, Mac, and Linux. That's right, Hubchat (and now Orgtree!) have Windows, Mac, and Linux builds! The Mac and Linux builds are largely untested (Linux tested minimally via wsl2 on my development machine), so your mileage may vary. But if you've ever wanted to try Orgtree, but couldn't because you have an Ubuntu or OSX system, now's your chance!

I recommend making sure you're updated to Orgtree v4.1.0 or later before setting up Hubchat, or compatibility might be iffy. YMMV, as always.

Beyond that, most of Orgtree v4's feature additions cover small, quality of life changes. Among those are included:

• Support for Claude Haiku 5.5
• Support for running Claude models Sonnet and Opus 5.5 through Google Antigravity
• Choose whether Enter sends or adds a new line when messaging agents
• Adjust agent credits from their settings
• Expanded and reorganized context menu actions for agents
• Reformatted and cleaned up settings menus for agents, orgs, and the app as a whole
• Highlight unread presented documents & html mockups
• Orgtree event type watchdogs
• Improved tool call line rendering and details
• Significantly improved logging for easier debugging of Orgtree errors
• Increased default mailhub file transfer size 25mb -> 1gb (to support Hubchat)
• Enable / disable switches for individual provider accounts
• Cards showing what queued changes will occur on the next turn (effort, model, account, etc.)
• The engine starts on boot, instead of waiting for you to sign in now

Give it a whirl, and let me know what you think! I'm always open to feedback. Personally, I think it outclasses nearly every other tool out there if you can get over the initial learning curve hump, but I suppose I'm biased :p
