TinyPixy, a Mac app featuring compression, background removal, and AI upscaling, has added a fourth feature, "Crop," in v1.2.0. By simply selecting a ratio such as 1:1 or 16:9, you can batch-crop multiple images into the same shape. For images that require precise alignment, you can adjust them individually by moving the frame in the editing screen, which opens with a double-click. All processing is performed entirely on your Mac. With this update, the four essential tasks for image preparation are now unified in a single window.
Anthropic has unveiled Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, Mythos-class models that sit a tier above Opus. An independent rundown of their performance, safety, pricing, and availability, written from a Claude Code user's point of view.
Dynamic Workflows, added to Claude Code as a research preview, is a mechanism where Claude writes orchestration scripts on the fly and coordinates dozens to hundreds of sub-agents in parallel to tackle large tasks. You can start simply by typing "workflow" in the prompt. We will organize the details step-by-step, covering the differences from sub-agents and Skills, specific usage, and the often-overlooked considerations regarding cost.
Introducing Anthropic's new model, Claude Opus 4.8. With improvements in judgment, honesty, and long-term autonomy, the probability of it missing flaws in its own code is now about one-fourth that of the previous generation. Fast mode is 2.5x faster and 3x cheaper, while standard pricing remains unchanged. I have also organized how to leverage it for work from a practical perspective.
I have released "TinyPress," a Mac app that allows you to compress, convert, resize, and rename blog images all at once with a single drag and drop. It achieves up to a 97% reduction by converting to WebP and AVIF and operates completely offline.
Anthropic has released Claude Opus 4.7. We summarize the key points of its evolution, from the introduction of the new effort level "xhigh", significant improvements in coding and vision performance, and enhanced instruction following, to mentions of the higher-tier model Mythos Preview.
With the newly added /schedule command in Claude Code, you can automatically run tasks periodically in the cloud. We'll explain in detail how to have it handle PR reviews and documentation updates "while you sleep," including the differences from /loop.
A review of Claude Sonnet 4.6, released on February 17, 2026, from an engineer's perspective. It delivers performance exceeding the previous generation's top-tier model, Opus 4.5, at the Sonnet price point. We explain how to differentiate its use from Opus 4.6 based on benchmark comparisons, the evolution of computer use, and product updates.
By using "Agent Skills" released by Supabase, you can teach AI coding agents Postgres best practices. We introduce specific measures by priority, such as index design, RLS, and connection management.
On January 15, 2026, Let's Encrypt will launch general availability for IP address certificates and short-term (160-hour / approx. 6+ days) certificates. We provide an easy-to-understand explanation of the mechanisms, use cases, and points to note.
If you've ever felt intimidated by Git operations, Tower is well worth a try. Its appeal lies in the peace of mind of being able to undo even commits and merges with ⌘+Z, and the ease of performing advanced operations without hesitation via drag-and-drop. Having cycled through various tools, I'll share the honest reasons why I finally settled on Tower.
