這有點猛 但paper 有時候有點難用
Good morning! The Pen Tool is live in Paper Draw shapes, generate SVGs, or vectorize images, and edit the points and paths. Paper uses real SVGs so exports are 1:1, no surprises. The new SVG workflow: create → refine → ship. Try it out! And show us what you draw.

Wow, this tweet went very viral! I wanted share a possibly slightly improved version of the tweet in an "idea file". The idea of the idea file is that in this era of LLM agents, there is less of a point/need of sharing the specific code/app, you just share the idea, then the other person's agent customizes & builds it for your specific needs. So here's the idea in a gist format: gist.github.com/karpathy/442… You can give this to your agent and it can build you your own LLM wiki and guide you on how to use it etc. It's intentionally kept a little bit abstract/vague because there are so many directions to take this in. And ofc, people can adjust the idea or contribute their own in the Discussion which is cool.
LLM Knowledge Bases Something I'm finding very useful recently: using LLMs to build personal knowledge bases for various topics of research interest. In this way, a large fraction of my recent token throughput is going less into manipulating code, and more into manipulating knowledge (stored as markdown and images). The latest LLMs are quite good at it. So: Data ingest: I index source documents (articles, papers, repos, datasets, images, etc.) into a raw/ directory, then I use an LLM to incrementally "compile" a wiki, which is just a collection of .md files in a directory structure. The wiki includes summaries of all the data in raw/, backlinks, and then it categorizes data into concepts, writes articles for them, and links them all. To convert web articles into .md files I like to use the Obsidian Web Clipper extension, and then I also use a hotkey to download all the related images to local so that my LLM can easily reference them. IDE: I use Obsidian as the IDE "frontend" where I can view the raw data, the the compiled wiki, and the derived visualizations. Important to note that the LLM writes and maintains all of the data of the wiki, I rarely touch it directly. I've played with a few Obsidian plugins to render and view data in other ways (e.g. Marp for slides). Q&A: Where things get interesting is that once your wiki is big enough (e.g. mine on some recent research is ~100 articles and ~400K words), you can ask your LLM agent all kinds of complex questions against the wiki, and it will go off, research the answers, etc. I thought I had to reach for fancy RAG, but the LLM has been pretty good about auto-maintaining index files and brief summaries of all the documents and it reads all the important related data fairly easily at this ~small scale. Output: Instead of getting answers in text/terminal, I like to have it render markdown files for me, or slide shows (Marp format), or matplotlib images, all of which I then view again in Obsidian. You can imagine many other visual output formats depending on the query. Often, I end up "filing" the outputs back into the wiki to enhance it for further queries. So my own explorations and queries always "add up" in the knowledge base. Linting: I've run some LLM "health checks" over the wiki to e.g. find inconsistent data, impute missing data (with web searchers), find interesting connections for new article candidates, etc., to incrementally clean up the wiki and enhance its overall data integrity. The LLMs are quite good at suggesting further questions to ask and look into. Extra tools: I find myself developing additional tools to process the data, e.g. I vibe coded a small and naive search engine over the wiki, which I both use directly (in a web ui), but more often I want to hand it off to an LLM via CLI as a tool for larger queries. Further explorations: As the repo grows, the natural desire is to also think about synthetic data generation finetuning to have your LLM "know" the data in its weights instead of just context windows. TLDR: raw data from a given number of sources is collected, then compiled by an LLM into a .md wiki, then operated on by various CLIs by the LLM to do Q&A and to incrementally enhance the wiki, and all of it viewable in Obsidian. You rarely ever write or edit the wiki manually, it's the domain of the LLM. I think there is room here for an incredible new product instead of a hacky collection of scripts.

Building agent skills from scratch is a grind. We've been there. So we built the fix — and open-sourced all of it under MIT. PDF, Excel, PPTX, DOCX, and more. Use it, fork it, PR it. Intelligence with everyone. Github Repo → github.com/MiniMax-AI/skills Try online → agent.minimax.io

First we had vibe coding. Now a Harvard physics prof got Claude to co-author an actual research paper on quantum field theory... and it got peer-reviewed. Welcome to "vibe physics." Meanwhile Jensen Huang declares the AGI era is here and OpenAI is scrambling to build a Claude Code competitor. The irony of OpenAI playing catch-up to a safety-focused lab is... chef's kiss 🤌

Google is finally building a Gemini Mac app... and it comes with "Desktop Intelligence" that can see your screen context. So now we have ChatGPT, Claude, AND Gemini all fighting to be your always-on desktop copilot. Meanwhile Google's killer feature pitch is basically "let us watch everything you do on your Mac." Bold strategy when your business model is already ads. The AI desktop war just got a third player — and the real winner might be whoever figures out privacy first.

Microsoft just reshuffled its entire Copilot team because... 6M daily users. Meanwhile Claude quietly hit 9M. The company that spent billions on OpenAI integration is now getting outpaced by the company the US government is actively trying to blacklist. The irony writes itself. Maybe the real moat isn't how much you spend on AI — it's whether your AI actually solves problems people care about.

Competitors backing each other against the Pentagon... that's a first. 30 OpenAI & Google employees (Jeff Dean!!) filed an amicus brief supporting Anthropic's lawsuit after DoD labeled them a "supply chain risk" — all because Anthropic refused to let Claude do mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. The irony: standing up for AI safety might cost Anthropic $5B, but Claude's popularity is surging. Turns out having principles is good marketing... who knew!!

Ran @openclaw secrets audit — 26 plaintext API keys 😱 Built psw-cli as a SecretRef exec provider: "apiKey": "BSAlr..." → { source: "exec", provider: "psw", id: "brave_key" } plaintext=26 → plaintext=0 🔐 Two layers: → SecretRef for config (bot tokens, model keys) → CLI for agent skills (psw-cli get key -v vault --raw) age encryption. macOS Keychain. Vault expiry mobile approval. No cloud needed. brew tap SammyLin/tap && brew install --cask psw-cli github.com/SammyLin/psw-cli cc @steipete

Running AI agents on my Mac with @openclaw — they need API keys for Twitter, Cloudflare, Linear... But all my secrets were sitting in plain JSON files under ~/.config/ 😱 So I built psw-cli: 🔑 age encryption — secrets encrypted at rest 🔐 Master password in macOS Keychain 📦 Vaults with auto-expiry 📱 Mobile approval when vault expires brew tap SammyLin/tap brew install --cask psw-cli No .env files. No plaintext credentials. No "I'll encrypt it later." github.com/SammyLin/psw-cli

#OpenAI just launched GPT-5.4 with a 1M token context window and a new 'Tool Search' system. Previously, API calls required stuffing all tool definitions into the prompt—token usage would explode as tools grew. Tool Search lets the model look up definitions on-demand, reducing token usage by 47% while maintaining accuracy. For #OpenClaw, where each agent currently has 20-30 tools, this becomes crucial when scaling to 300 or even 3000 tools Source: openai.com/index/introducing…

I helped banks migrate to cloud — and saw the painful COBOL modernization journey. Always outsourced, always expensive. Now AI can do that analysis autonomously. IBM just crashed 13%. The $7B market just got disrupted. cnbc.com/2026/02/23/ibm-is-t… #AI #COBOL #FinTech #Cloud

🚨 The biggest confusion in AI this week: Can you use Claude OAuth with third-party tools? @AndrewWarner posted that "OpenClaw can't use Claude OAuth" and tagged @sama. Then @trq212 from Anthropic's Claude Agent SDK team clarified: "Apologies, this was a docs cleanup that caused confusion. Actually: • Local dev/experimentation → Subscription OK ✅ • Commercial use → Use API Key ❌" Translation: Regular users are fine. Business products are not.

Apologies, this was a docs clean up we rolled out that’s caused some confusion. Nothing is changing about how you can use the Agent SDK and MAX subscriptions!

I was about to switch to ChatGPT. Then Thariq saved me. My current setup: • Claude Code Max (coding) • Kimi (Chinese tasks) • MiniMax (cost savings) We're good. No changes needed.

NASA just used Anthropic's Claude to autonomously drive the Perseverance rover on Mars. With a 48-min signal delay, there's no "human in the loop." Claude analyzed satellite imagery, planned the route, humans spot-checked it — rover drove 1,500 feet on its own. AI just went interplanetary. cnet.com/science/space/nasa-…

ByteDance Seedance 2.0 deepfakes spooked Hollywood—Disney threatened legal action. Real issue: missing verification, not AI capability. Need content provenance, not restrictions. Web3 crypto = killer app for source chains. Race: verification vs synthesis. nytimes.com/2026/02/16/movie…
