Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI Are Converging. The Gaps Matter More

Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI share commands like /clear, /model, and @ file references. But similar commands behave differently across tools, context windows range from 192K to 1M tokens, and each company's strategic divergence tells a sharper story than the shared vocabulary.

From Today's Analysis
“A New Mexico jury found Meta liable on all counts, awarding $375 million. Meta's stock rose 5%. But the fine was never the point. The verdict handed 40 state attorneys general a tested legal playbook that sidesteps Section 230. The next phase will decide what Meta must change.”

Arm Abandoned Neutrality. Its Biggest Customers Cheered.

For 35 years, Arm made money by licensing chip blueprints and never competing with customers. CEO Rene Haas just ended that arrangement with a 136-core data center processor Arm will sell directly. The strange part: over 50 licensees applauded. Jensen Huang recorded a congratulatory video. Amazon called it a remarkable success. When your supplier becomes your rival and nobody flinches, the reasons tell you more about the industry than the chip itself.
