The X Subscription is live. One subscription merges three product lines: X Premium, SuperGrok, and Cursor. Usage pool is shared across all products, refreshed weekly. $8 Plus — X verification, fewer ads, Grok Chat/Voice/Imagine/Build, Grok API, Cursor $30 Premium — adds Grok Bot, latest models, cloud agents, Bugbot, 4x usage (was X Premium+ at $40) $100 Super — priority access at peak hours, 15x usage (same price as old SuperGrok Plus) Standalone X Premium, SuperGrok, and Cursor subscriptions retire. If you're already subscribed and don't cancel, you keep the old plan.

Muse registration is getting stricter and stricter.

Made another account to help run my overseas social media and content distribution. A lot of cloud browsers block the Muse homepage outright now, so most of the old tricks are dead. The two I can confirm still work: Gemini's Sprak cloud computer, and the built-in cloud browser that ships with Grok premium and up (not Grok-bot's cloud computer. The bot throws you into the waitlist even if you turn auto timezone off).

Meta's first flagship is out: Muse Wonder, plus a Full variant.

1M context, takes text/image/audio/video input. Closed weights. It ships with Active Memory (context carries across chats) and Active Focus, which sticks to a long-running task instead of drifting. Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index: 56/52, against Opus 5.5's 58. Leads SWE-Marathon at 57.5 and Harvey LAB at 13.1. Trails other flagships on Terminal-Bench 4.0 and HealthBench Pro. API is $4/$20 per million tokens, same as Opus 5.5. Full has no API at all, Muse Code subscribers only.

Claude appeal rejected.

Won't refund the subscription either. I'm half convinced the appeal email is itself phishing, because I'm pretty sure they log the IP. DHH came to Shenzhen recently and showed how he uses Claude Code over there. That's the safest way now, honestly: run Claude Code on an overseas machine, connect through Tailscale, never use it locally. So I need to rent an overseas box with a residential IP, and register and log into Claude there.

Sharing my current mobile only workflow.

Until late September it was the usual setup: parked in front of my laptop, terminal open, bossing pi around, fanning out subagents, then eyeballing diffs myself and filing the PR. Glued to the chair all day, every day. Late September I moved the whole thing to my phone, Hermes runs the show, pi takes the orders. My back is very grateful. Three weeks in, still no regrets. Stack: Hermes on flagship brains (gpt-6-astra / opus-5.5), pi on mid-tier (ds-v4.1-flash / sonnet / terra) with as few plugins as possible, the two talking over a2a. Hermes reads the issues, slices them into small tasks, spins up a worktree for each one, and dispatches a pi into it. When a pi finishes it pings Hermes, who decides: ship the PR or bounce it back for rework. I get back from a full day of being a tourist, or just wake up, and a dozen PRs are sitting there done. Pretty sweet. The catch is how black-box the whole thing is. My emotional arc has been a rerun of early vibe coding, except back then I at least read the diffs. Now even that goes to a flagship model. Boxes all the way down. If you don't have data anxiety, grok-bot and chatgpt-dot basically ship this out of the box, grok-cli and codex built in, native agent-to-agent comms. Downside: your code lives on their servers, everything's moderated, and one ban takes it all with it.
