Hey folks,
ChatGPT finally rolled out ‘project-only’ memory. ie, it’ll only use memories its remembered from the project - and not bring in general memories from your total ChatGPT profile.
Claude Code has a new /context command to visualise your context window and token usage.
Some people are turning their back on Claude Code for Codex CLI (by OpenAI) - it’s been neglected as a product recently but folks are getting great results with GPT-5. And it sounds like a lot of work is going into the product experience.
Agentic browsers like Perplexity’s Comet remain vulnerable to indirect prompt injection attacks. Which is why folks like Browserbase push for “1. your agent should have it's own browser with limited access to it's information, and 2. it should run far away from your data.” - this thread highlights more of why it’s a massive issue.
I backed a company recently that’s in the current YC batch. The reason? Because they strip all the pain of auth, database, email, observability etc with an all-in-one Typescript framework. It’s like a backend in a box (which is something I’ve been posting about a lot). Check Modelence out and give it a spin for your projects.
