Aq is a Rust terminal interface for keeping track of multiple Claude Code sessions running in tmux on Linux. Claude Code hooks collect the moments that need a person - completed changes, permission requests, questions and option menus - and present them as a single, orderly queue. New cards wait rather than interrupting the one being handled; if a request is answered directly in its session, aq marks it as answered elsewhere until dismissed. In review mode, completed diffs can be inspected, annotated by line or range, and sent back to Claude as one message, or approved. Markdown files get a readable view, and files can be opened in an editor. When no cards are waiting, aq provides a live view of sessions and tools to message them, check progress, change models or permission modes, and launch new sessions.
Each project can use one of four modes: review, step (approve or reject each edit), quiz (explain important changes, with follow-up prompts and a chance to send identified code gaps back for fixes), or vibe (no checks). Questions and permission prompts can be handled from cards, including selecting numbered options. Keyboard-driven controls include vim-style navigation, a first-run practice tour, and a popup shell for commands Claude cannot run. New sessions can use separate git worktrees to avoid editing the same files. Aq connects through Claude Code hooks, so sessions continue normally when it is not running; setup requires installing the program and merging its hooks into Claude’s settings.

Former OpenAI researcher Will Depue claims hidden initialization patterns in six Chinese open-weight AI models match Nvidia Blackwell hardware, including systems restricted from export to China. He says the matches were reproduced on real chips and independently checked by researchers, though the claims are based on his forensic analysis. (twitter.com)
Antithesis built a system that beats NetHack on nearly 80% of game seeds within five minutes, across character builds. Successful runs take a median of under two minutes, advancing the company’s goal of creating smarter fuzzers and autonomous systems. (antithesis.com)
OpenCyclone is a free, open-source Android agent that uses your existing apps to carry out tasks through a hidden screen. It asks for approval before actions like sending messages and lets users connect their own AI models. (opencyclone.vercel.app)
Sam Bankman-Fried’s $500 million investment gave Alameda nearly 14% of Anthropic, a stake that would be worth about $37 billion at the AI company’s expected $1.5 trillion IPO valuation. The stake was sold in bankruptcy to repay FTX customers and creditors after Bankman-Fried’s businesses collapsed. (ft.com)
