Walsh Is Quietly Reshaping the Federal Reserve Through Five Working Groups

In an effort to subtly reshape the Federal Reserve, Chair Kevin Wash has established five "Chair's Advancement of Monetary Policy" working groups. These groups, led entirely by 15 external experts and supported by Fed staff, cover the entire monetary policy "operating system": data inputs, productivity/employment/inflation models, balance sheet tools, and external communications. The initiative centralizes agenda-setting, knowledge production, data access, and public narrative control under the Chair's office, while formal decision-making power remains with the FOMC and Board. Analysts note this mirrors tactics like China's use of central working groups—bypassing bureaucratic inertia, creating parallel reporting channels, and enabling rapid "top-level design" to reset policy agendas. This suggests Wash may hold off on major policy moves until the groups conclude their studies. Key future questions are whether these groups become permanent and if their conclusions effectively become pre-determined policy for the FOMC to ratify.

Today, Claude Cowork Major Update: Close Your Laptop, It Works for You Overnight

Anthropic's Claude Cowork has received a major upgrade, officially launching on mobile and web platforms. This allows users to manage and monitor tasks from any device, freeing them from needing to stay at their computers. The key innovation is that tasks now run in the cloud on Anthropic's servers, meaning work continues even when a user's personal device is offline or closed. The update merges Chat and Cowork into a single interface and extends usage quotas. Engineers highlight three core capabilities now unified: precise context understanding, support for long-running tasks, and complete independence from a user's physical device. The workflow is described as a full cycle: a user assigns a complex task (e.g., preparing a meeting summary, drafting emails, post-meeting analysis). Claude Cowork autonomously breaks it down, connects to necessary tools like Slack and email, gathers information, and executes. It pauses only for critical user decisions, sending a notification to the user's phone for approval before proceeding. Product managers share use cases like monitoring AI agents during a soccer game or resuming a cloud-based task seamlessly after a flight, emphasizing the new flexibility. The article frames this as part of a larger trend where tech giants (OpenAI, Microsoft, Google) are competing to bring AI agents into the daily workflows of general knowledge workers, not just developers. The ultimate battleground is becoming an indispensable, seamless part of everyday productivity.

After Close Observation of Wash, Morgan Stanley's Chief Economist Insists: The Fed Will Not Raise Rates This Year

After close observation of Federal Reserve Chair Wash, Seth Carpenter, Morgan Stanley's Chief Global Economist, asserts that the Fed will not raise interest rates this year. Following Wash's speech at the ECB's Sintra forum, Carpenter notes a marginal dovish shift: Wash now more clearly balances the Fed's dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment, rather than focusing nearly exclusively on inflation. Importantly, Wash highlighted that the latest policy meeting (coinciding with falling oil prices) has already lowered market inflation expectations and term premiums, signaling no urgency for a July rate hike. Carpenter's view is supported by data. Recent non-farm payroll figures provide room for the Fed to remain patient. Morgan Stanley's inflation forecasts are below the median FOMC projection, and methodological revisions to PCE inflation could further lower readings. These factors make Carpenter "comfortable" with the call for no hikes in 2024. Carpenter also pushes back against the simplistic narrative that AI will be deflationary and lead to rate cuts. He argues AI investment is currently boosting inflation marginally. More broadly, the business cycle will dictate policy; AI's productivity gains could boost demand and, crucially, raise the equilibrium interest rate (r*), weakening the case for cuts. In contrast, the ECB's path remains more hawkish. Carpenter interprets President Lagarde's Sintra comments as leaving the door open for another 25 basis point hike in September, though softer recent data and falling oil prices provide some flexibility. A July hike or more than one additional hike this year is seen as unlikely.

Token Devours One-Third of Payroll, Silicon Valley's AI Bill is Spinning Out of Control

The article discusses the dual reality of AI token costs in Silicon Valley. While research firm SemiAnalysis reports spending 30% of its employee salary budget on internal LLM tokens—translating to massive productivity gains like converting complex Excel models in minutes—other giants are struggling with ballooning, uncontrolled AI bills. Uber exhausted its annual AI budget in months after rapid engineer adoption, and Microsoft is cutting third-party AI tools due to high costs. NVIDIA's CEO argues tokens are becoming "means of production" and plans substantial AI budgets per engineer. Despite current cost concerns, the analysis emphasizes that cost collapse is just beginning. Through software optimizations (like 14x throughput boosts) and next-gen hardware (e.g., GB300 NVL72 with 17-32x H100 performance), real token costs can fall far below list prices. Anthropic's gross margins reportedly soared as token prices dropped. Gartner predicts a >90% inference cost drop by 2030. The piece highlights a split: massive AI capex ($740B announced) contrasts with tech layoffs and minimal measured economic impact so far. The transition mirrors past infrastructure shifts—investment precedes widespread productivity. For early adopters like SemiAnalysis, tokens already deliver high leverage; for others, the choice is to adopt now or risk falling behind.

Claude Engineer Finally Unveils Fable 5's Ultimate Strategy, Teaching You How to Bridge the Information Gap with AI Models

This article, titled "Claude Engineer Finally Releases Fable 5 'Skill-Burning' Guide, Teaching How to Bridge the Information Gap with Models," details a blog post by Claude Code engineer Thariq Shihipar. The core concept is the "information gap" or "unknowns"—the disconnect between a user's instructions (the "map") and the actual task requirements (the "territory"). The article argues that with powerful models like Claude Fable 5, work quality depends on the user's ability to identify and clarify these unknowns. Shihipar categorizes unknowns into four types: Known Knowns (explicit instructions), Known Unknowns (awareness of gaps), Unknown Knowns (implicit, unstated knowledge), and Unknown Unknowns (unforeseen issues). The blog provides a framework for addressing these gaps throughout the workflow: * **Before Implementation:** Techniques include "Blindspot Scanning" to uncover Unknown Unknowns, brainstorming/prototyping for visual or complex tasks, having Claude ask clarifying questions, using reference code/examples, and creating implementation plans. * **During Implementation:** Maintaining an "implementation notes" file for Claude to document deviations and decisions made due to encountered edge cases. * **After Implementation:** Creating summary documents for review and having Claude generate quizzes to ensure the user fully understands the completed changes. The article concludes that as models become more capable, the key to success is systematically discovering and defining these unknowns through low-cost methods like prototyping and planning, allowing for more effective collaboration.

Waller: Inflation Cools in Recent Weeks, AI Reshapes Economy, Forward Guidance Loses Necessity

Warsh: Inflation Cools in Recent Weeks, AI Reshapes Economy, Forward Guidance Deemed Unnecessary Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Warsh, speaking at the ECB's annual forum in Sintra, stated that the Fed will no longer provide forward guidance on future interest rate paths. He emphasized that policy decisions will be based on the latest data and discussed at each meeting, rather than pre-committing to a direction. Warsh noted that U.S. inflation risks have eased over the past four weeks. He highlighted that AI is transforming the economy at an unprecedented pace, potentially expanding supply and productivity, which could allow for faster growth with lower inflation. However, he stressed it remains uncertain whether AI will ultimately be inflationary or disinflationary, and the Fed must assess its impact based on incoming data. Regarding monetary policy, Warsh reiterated the Fed's independence, stating decisions will not be influenced by external political pressure. He confirmed the intention to continue reducing the size of the Fed's balance sheet, though the process will take time. He also announced that member lists for five new internal working groups, established to review policy frameworks and communication, will be released soon.

Google Shaken, Market Cap Evaporates Hundreds of Billions. Can Gemini Spark Save the Day?

Google is facing a turbulent period marked by a significant brain drain of top AI talent. Key figures like Noam Shazeer, John Jumper, Jonas Adler, and Alexander Pritzel have recently left for competitors OpenAI and Anthropic, causing investor concern and a sharp stock decline wiping hundreds of billions from Alphabet's market cap. Amidst this talent exodus and the delayed launch of the anticipated Gemini 3.5 Pro model, Google has unveiled its major new offering: Gemini Spark. This is not a standard chatbot but a persistent, cloud-based AI agent designed to automate multi-step workflows across Google's ecosystem (Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Drive, etc.) and some third-party apps. Powered by the Antigravity framework with Tasks, Skills, and Schedules, it aims to function as a continuous digital assistant. However, its high price point—exclusive to the $100/month AI Ultra tier—has drawn criticism. The article positions Spark as Google's critical, albeit late, move into the AI agent arena, where AI transitions from a tool to an autonomous workforce. While competitors and startups are already advancing in this space, Google's vast integration with Workspace gives it a potential edge, though its historical caution due to scale and risk may have cost it the lead. Ultimately, Spark represents a necessary shift for Google, but the question remains whether this "digital employee" can compensate for the loss of foundational talent and restore investor confidence in the company's future.

Karpathy's Genius Strikes Again, Challenging RAG, Turning Your Notes into a Second Brain

Andrej Karpathy has proposed a revolutionary concept for managing personal knowledge: treating notes as immutable "source code" and using LLMs as "compilers" to build a structured, interlinked wiki. This approach fundamentally shifts the cognitive workflow away from the limitations of RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), which merely retrieves and pieces together fragments, leading to contradictions and "digital mummies"—unused, decaying notes. The LLM-Wiki framework introduces a three-layer architecture: the **Raw Layer** for original, immutable notes; the **Schema Layer** defining rules for structuring knowledge; and the **Wiki Layer**, where the LLM continuously compiles and maintains a coherent, cross-referenced knowledge base. Key operations are **Ingest** (adding new material, which triggers updates across related pages), **Query** (asking the compiled wiki, with answers that can become new pages), and **Lint** (periodic AI audits to find contradictions, outdated claims, or gaps). This system automates the tedious maintenance—updating links, resolving conflicts, keeping summaries fresh—that has historically made large-scale personal knowledge management unsustainable. It realizes Vannevar Bush's 1945 "Memex" vision by finally solving the maintenance problem. Karpathy's proposal represents a third piece in human-AI collaboration, following "Vibe Coding" and "Agentic Engineering." It liberates human attention from organizational drudgery, refocusing it on what matters: deciding what to read and deriving meaning.

Claude Code Announces Major Next-Gen Upgrade: You Chat, and the Backend Gets the Job Done

Claude Code's next major upgrade will make its sub-agents run in the background by default, transforming the tool from a conversational interface into a multi-threaded workflow engine. Users can chat with Claude while sub-agents handle tasks like code refactoring, running tests, and opening PRs in parallel. Creator Boris Cherny, who hasn't written a line of code in eight months and sometimes manages thousands of AI agents, states that users are no longer just prompters; "another Claude writes the prompts." This evolution builds on recent features like Routines for scheduled tasks and Dynamic Workflows for complex, multi-agent jobs. The change signifies a shift where engineers focus on strategy and decision-making rather than writing code. Anthropic's internal data suggests Claude Code triples engineering output, creating a bottleneck for product managers who can't generate enough work. Spotify's case study reveals that 73% of its pull requests are AI-assisted, with executives using the tool to build prototypes directly from natural language descriptions. The core takeaway: the scarcest resource is no longer the ability to write code, but the ability to decide what code to write.
