Anthropic Adds Auto Dream to Claude Code, Fixing Memory Decay Between Sessions

Anthropic began rolling out Auto Dream, a background sub-agent that consolidates Claude Code's memory files between sessions. The four-phase cycle fixes duplicates, stale dates, and contradictions that degraded auto-memory quality after 20+ sessions. The system prompt is already public on GitHub.

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.

A Jury Said Meta Harmed Children. Investors Didn't Care. They Should.
Analysis

A Jury Said Meta Harmed Children. Investors Didn't Care. They Should.

A New Mexico jury needed less than a day to find Meta liable on every count, awarding $375 million. Meta's stock rose 5%. Investors did the math and moved on. But the fine was never the point. The verdict validated a legal playbook that sidesteps Section 230 and treats platforms as defective products. More than 40 state attorneys general now have a tested courtroom strategy. A bench trial in May won't ask what Meta should pay. It will ask what Meta should change.
