# Blog

> I read what’s new in AI at the source, then explain it with everyday life.

- [Grok Bot: what I would trust an always-on agent with](https://me.consonance.fyi/en/blog/grok-bot.md) — 2026-11-03: Grok Bot, seen by an engineer who builds systems that must not be wrong: how xAI's agents work, what real marketplace Bots do, and my rules before I let one in.
- [OSS Scanner: a free security inspection for critical open source](https://me.consonance.fyi/en/blog/anthropic-oss-scanner.md) — 2026-11-03: Anthropic's OSS Scanner runs periodic AI security scans of critical open-source projects at no cost. What a report contains, who qualifies, how to enroll, and how to triage the results.
- [pstack: Lauren Tan's rules for agents you can trust](https://me.consonance.fyi/en/blog/pstack-lauren-tan.md) — 2026-11-03: pstack, the skill plugin by Lauren Tan (@poteto) for Cursor and Grok Bot: trust one agent before running ten, fix mistakes at the root, and treat verification as infrastructure, down to TLA+ models.
- [Claude Code in the cloud: one machine per task](https://me.consonance.fyi/en/blog/claude-code-in-the-cloud.md) — 2026-10-07: A cloud session gives each task its own machine and branch: several jobs run side by side, survive a sleeping laptop, and come back as pull requests.
- [Evaluating and improving an AI app, explained with an exam](https://me.consonance.fyi/en/blog/automating-eval-design-and-hillclimbing.md) — 2026-10-03: build-eval writes an exam for your AI app with you; hillclimb revises against it one change at a time, with held-out cases to catch cramming.
- [Moving to Claude Sonnet 5.5: the three things that break](https://me.consonance.fyi/en/blog/building-with-claude-sonnet-5-5.md) — 2026-10-03: Sonnet 5.5 is 30% faster than Sonnet 5 at the same per-token price. Swapping the model name is easy; three habits in your code are not.
- [Claude Code mods: a small file that rewrites what you see](https://me.consonance.fyi/en/blog/getting-started-with-claude-code-mods.md) — 2026-10-03: What a Claude Code mod is, how it slots into the session as a hook, two examples from the official guide, and Recording Mode to hide secrets on screen.
- [Claude Code's effort, explained: spending time, not intelligence](https://me.consonance.fyi/en/blog/spending-your-effort.md) — 2026-10-03: Effort doesn't make Claude smarter. It sets how much computing it spends, so how much it checks, tests edge cases and judges on its own.
