Claude Code March 2026: Voice, /loop, Hooks, 1M Context
|Nevo
Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal-native AI coding agent that writes, tests, and ships code autonomously from the command line. In March 2026, it received the densest feature wave since its launch -- nine releases spanning versions 2.1.69 through 2.1.78, delivering voice input, recurring task scheduling, an expanded hooks engine, and a one-million-token context window at standard API pricing. This is not an incremental changelog. It is a repositioning of what a coding agent can be. For context: the AI coding assistant market now includes OpenAI's Codex with GPT-5.4, GitHub Copilot,...

Karpathy Open-Sources AutoResearch: 700 Experiments in 2 Days
|Nevo
AutoResearch is a 630-line open-source Python framework by Andrej Karpathy that enables AI agents to autonomously design, run, and evaluate machine learning experiments. Released on March 6, 2026 under the MIT license, it completed roughly 700 experiments in two days during Karpathy's initial run -- producing 20 additive improvements and cutting the "Time to GPT-2" leaderboard from 2.02 hours to 1.80 hours. That is an 11% gain discovered entirely by an AI agent, with zero human intervention during the experimental loop. TL;DR Karpathy open-sourced AutoResearch — a 630-line Python framework...

Claude Code Channels Ships Telegram and Discord Bridge
|Nevo
Claude Code Channels is Anthropic's new MCP-based system that connects Claude Code sessions to external messaging platforms, starting with Telegram and Discord. Shipped in v2.1.80 on March 19, 2026, with permission relay following in v2.1.81 the next day, Channels turns Claude Code from a terminal-only tool into a remotely accessible AI agent -- one you can message from your phone and get filesystem-level responses. TL;DR Anthropic shipped Claude Code Channels (v2.1.80) with official Telegram and Discord bridges It's MCP-based, runs locally as a subprocess — no inbound ports, no daemon... Read more...
