Palomino is a Mac workspace for running coding agents alongside one another in a single interface. It supports Claude Code, Codex, and Pi, with tabs and panes for coordinating work and access to terminals, browsers, and files. The product says it is written in Rust and renders its interface on the GPU. A walkthrough illustrates agents working on a web app: one finds and fixes a sign-in redirect bug in an authentication file, then runs the test suite; a terminal shows tests passing and a development server starting, while a browser displays the local site. The page also announces that GPT-6.1 Terra is available in Palomino.
The central pitch is parallel agent work without switching among separate tools or windows, using a workspace that can cover coding, testing, and browser-based checking. Palomino offers unlimited workspaces and agents, limited in practice by what the user’s Mac can run, along with terminals, browsers, and file access. The service is presented as free, requires no account, and is available as a Mac download; visitors can also join a waitlist. A benchmarks link signals that performance is a selling point, but the supplied page gives no benchmark results or measured comparisons.

Anthropic has restricted Claude from helping with video game modding, decompiling, and reverse-engineering, amid growing use of AI to alter games. The limits are broad enough to disrupt legitimate development and basic troubleshooting, and Anthropic has not publicly explained the restrictions. (mashable.com)
OpenAI’s GPT-6.1 Terra is a midrange model focused on visual reasoning, computer use, and technical communication, with faster computer-use performance than Astra and Sol. It costs $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens, positioning it between the cheaper Luna and pricier Sol. (simonwillison.net)
Pope Leo XIV argued that AI’s future depends on human choices and that systems should serve people, not be treated as persons. He called for human oversight of high-stakes decisions, steps to ban lethal autonomous weapons, and fair access to AI’s benefits. (garymarcus.substack.com)
Researcher Jiahao Shao says Anthropic blocked or downgraded his access after flagging his work as training a competitor. He says Claude only helped run jobs and analyze results, not generate training data. (twitter.com)
GPT-5.6 Sol completed a peaceful Factorio run in 13.5 hours of game time using a Python tool to control the game. It launched a rocket despite late-game factory problems, improving on an earlier GPT-5.5 attempt that failed to use conveyor belts. (ryanmadden.net)
A language model was post-trained on short Dwitter demos to generate plausible continuations of unfinished code and explore alternative visual effects. The project treats demo remixes as a kind of programming grammar, where tiny code changes can produce strikingly different results. (datavorous.com)
