Dawn of a Software Openness Era（Contemporary computational cutaway concept art）That moment2026-10Dawn of a Software Openness EraREA connects reverse-engineering tools to coding agents. An October hands-on test used Opus 5.5 with REA to rebuild an app’s keep-awake feature. We see falling barriers to understanding and reconstruction as the dawn of a software openness era; the original software has not thereby become open source or openly licensed.See it in the acceleration →

    Boris Cherny says Claude is removing the 5-hour limit for verified Ultra accounts. https://t.co/CewlkJkBmj In the quoted announcement, @claudeai says Max 5x is becoming Max and Max 20x is becoming Ultra, with prices unchanged at $100/month and $200, respectively; subscribers need to take no action.

    Quoted postClaude@claudeai

    We’re renaming our Max plans: Max 5x → Max Max 20x → Ultra Max is still $100/month, and Ultra is still $200. If you’re a subscriber, there’s nothing you need to do. We’re also removing the 5-hour limit for verified Ultra accounts, starting today with most existing https://t.co/9QR5ASBbeb

    Why it matters

    The announcement distinguishes plan renaming from pricing changes and identifies verified Ultra accounts as the group gaining removal of the 5-hour limit.

    Perplexity Computer can now control Google Chrome from the Perplexity Mac and Windows apps after a one-time extension setup, Aravind Srinivas says. Perplexity’s quoted announcement says Computer can use sites users are already signed into, and the extension is live for all Computer users in those apps. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/perplexity/pninphncmkphpjgfffammoenglghcjii https://twitter.com/askperplexity/status/2116183470439620676

    Quoted postComputer@AskPerplexity

    Computer's Mac and Windows apps now work in your own Chrome. The new Perplexity extension links the two, so Computer uses sites you're already signed into. Here, it turns a business's reviews into a prioritized list of fixes and replies. Live now for all Computer users in the Mac and Windows apps. Get it: http://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/perplexity/pninphncmkphpjgfffammoenglghcjii

    Why it matters

    Connecting Computer to an existing Chrome session lets browsing tasks use sites where users are already signed in, reducing setup across those sites.

    How Agentic AI Helps Search for Extraterrestrial Signals at the Allen Telescope Array

    Breakthrough Listen and the SETI Institute are using agentic AI at the Allen Telescope Array to steer antennas, correct incoming data and apply AI models through natural language requests. NVIDIA Holoscan and related tools support processing 2.4 terabits per second on NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs, with inference running on premises. The pipeline has already achieved what the source describes as the first real-time AI detection of a pulsar in the Crab Nebula.

    Why it matters

    The observatory workflow illustrates how agents can coordinate instrument control and live data processing when a shared operational state connects natural language requests to scientific hardware.

    Aravind Srinivas promotes /unbroker on Perplexity Computer, quoting @AskPerplexity’s announcement that the UNBROKER skill by @SHL0MS is now in Computer’s skills marketplace. The skill finds a person’s listings on data-broker sites and drafts opt-out requests, each requiring approval before sending. Tasks using /unbroker are free through November 6, up to 5,000 credits per user. https://twitter.com/AskPerplexity/status/2115866344730366393

    Quoted postComputer@AskPerplexity

    The UNBROKER skill by @SHL0MS, now in Computer's skills marketplace, finds a person's listings on data-broker sites and drafts opt-out requests. Each request waits for approval before sending. Tasks that use /unbroker are free through November 6, up to 5,000 credits per user.

    Why it matters

    The approval step gives users control over each outgoing opt-out request while the skill handles finding data-broker listings and drafting the requests.

    OpenAI is doubling all usage limits for Pro 100/200/500 and Business Premium effective today, according to @thsottiaux, while canceling the planned Pro 200 reduction. Baoyu calculates allowances relative to Plus at 10x for Pro 100, 20x for both existing and newer Pro 200 subscribers, and 50x for Pro 500; no price change was mentioned. Extended limits for dots will continue for now, with dot usage remaining separate from default usage; no extension end date was specified.

    Quoted postTibo@thsottiaux

    Day 25/ We are doubling all usage limits for all Pro 100/200/500 tiers and Business Premium, effective today. We heard your kind feedback and won’t be reducing usage limits for Pro 200, so your Work and Codex usage will stay the same. We’re also going to continue offering extended limits for dots for now, and usage of your dot will still continue to be separate from your default usage. And we'll of course also keep shipping better models and other efficiency improvements that increase your effective usage over time.

    Why it matters

    The breakdown distinguishes increased allowances from a canceled reduction, helping existing and newer Pro 200 subscribers understand why their usage limits converge despite different subscription histories.

  7. Aravind Srinivas67

    Aravind Srinivas announces that /teardown by @jakubkrehel is now available as a skill in Perplexity Computer for interactively exploring objects in 3D, with 5000 trial credits per user. https://t.co/RM1HUQq4Jz https://t.co/w0fOEYaDq1 @AskPerplexity says the skill creates labeled exploded views or cutaways, exports to SVG, PNG or PDF, and offers free /teardown tasks through November 6, up to 5,000 credits per user. https://t.co/z6DYCF6Z6V

    Quoted postComputer@AskPerplexity

    The Teardown skill by @jakubkrehel, now in Computer's skills marketplace, draws an exploded view or cutaway of an object, parts labeled. Drawings are interactive and export to SVG, PNG or PDF. Tasks that use /teardown are free through November 6, up to 5,000 credits per user. https://t.co/z6DYCF6Z6V

    Why it matters

    Interactive labeled views and exports to SVG, PNG or PDF give users ways to inspect an object's parts and reuse the resulting drawings outside Computer.

  8. Google Gemini69

    You can now generate, preview, and edit documents, PDFs, presentations, spreadsheets, and more directly in Gemini. Turn handwritten notes into a PDF study guide, manually tweak content, highlight sections for Gemini to edit text or visuals, and ask follow-up questions.

    Why it matters

    Generating files and making targeted edits within Gemini could reduce the need to switch tools when turning handwritten notes into study materials.

    Introducing AnySpeechRecognizer and AnyDecisionModel for Speech and Decisions on Apple Platforms

    The authors announce two Swift packages for Apple platforms, AnySpeechRecognizer and AnyDecisionModel. AnySpeechRecognizer mirrors Apple's speech APIs while adding local Parakeet and Qwen3-ASR engines and speaker diarization for up to four speakers; AnyDecisionModel returns typed answers and probabilities for yes-or-no, multiple-choice, and rating-scale questions through local or hosted backends. Both support downloading open models from the Hugging Face Hub, and the reported speech evaluations cover macOS only, with no iPhone testing yet.

    Why it matters

    The explanation of probability calibration and option order bias offers a practical method for evaluating model-based decisions before using confidence values as application thresholds.

    Google opens Android development to third-party AI agents and unveils new Gemini APIs

    Google introduced Android Studio Rabbit 2 with support for more than 40 coding agents through the open Agent Client Protocol, including Claude, Codex, and Google Antigravity. Android CLI updates add Compose previews and memory leak analysis for agents. Google also announced an alpha Agentic API powered by Gemini Nano 4, a beta AppFunctions API for shared tool calling, and a Connected Apps Platform preview linking apps to Google Search and Gemini.

    Why it matters

    Direct IDE access for third-party coding agents and shared app functions illustrate how Google is extending agent integration across Android development workflows and on-device app interactions.
