1. Opus 5.5 review discipline

The next story is about Opus five point five review discipline. Treating Claude Code as a fast implementation partner whose output still needs scope, tests, and domain review.

2. Sonnet builder routing

Next up, Sonnet builder routing. Routing expensive reasoning to the parts of coding work that actually need it.

3. context management

Then there's context management on long sessions. Treating long Claude Code sessions as a context management problem, even when the model looks unusually efficient.

4. Sonnet 5.5 game swarms

Also today, Sonnet five point five game swarms. Using a lead-agent swarm to turn one broad game prompt into a working Three J S prototype.

5. same-prompt visual benchmarks

Finally, same-prompt visual benchmarks. A repeatable model benchmark starts with the same prompt, the same constraints, and enough runs to make the cost story less fragile.
