Ultra-intensive week on Gladys

News
1

Hello everyone :smiley:

Next week, my partner won’t be here, and I’ve decided to make it the most intensive week in Gladys’s history.

Why now? Because with Claude Fable 5, my productivity is skyrocketing. It’s clearly the right time to put the pedal to the metal.

I’ve just upgraded to the maximum Claude Code plan at €216/month, so I’ll never be held back by a limit in the middle of a session :smiley:

:bullseye: Goal #1: Release the external integrations.

This is THE project that will change the dimensions of Gladys, and I want to deliver it as soon as possible.

:handshake: And most importantly: this week, I’ll be available all the time.

If you want to develop an external integration, now is THE time to get started.
I want as many integrations available at launch as possible, and I’ll be there from morning to night to exchange, answer your questions, and give you live feedback.

Don’t hesitate, even if you’re not sure of yourself or just starting out: you’ll never bother me. The more of us pushing this week, the bigger the launch will be.

And you, what do you want to see?

• A feature you consider essential?
• A YouTube live stream during the week?
• Content, behind-the-scenes, a particular format?

Tell me everything, no taboos, anything can be done!

:date: My minute-by-minute schedule:

I’ll need to stay strong to keep up, but I haven’t sacrificed sleep (8 hours per night, non-negotiable) or exercise (every day). On the other hand, social life = 0 :smiley:

See you very soon for the first results!

Cool and thanks for everything :slight_smile:
How does the development of an external integration work?
I’d really like to start development for Daikin Cloud first :slight_smile:

To develop an external integration, I strongly recommend taking a Claude plan and providing the following information :smiley:

The documentation in French:

In English:

There is an integration template: GitHub - GladysAssistant/integration-template-js: Gladys Assistant Integration template for a JS external integration · GitHub

This template is based on the JS SDK: GitHub - GladysAssistant/integration-sdk-js: Gladys Assistant SDK for JS external integration · GitHub

Then, to test for now it’s on a Docker image:

ghcr.io/gladysassistant/gladys-preview:claude-magical-turing-qhh7q2

Or directly by launching this PR locally: External integrations (RFC phase 1): Docker supervisor, host API, integration WebSocket, decentralized store and generic frontend by Pierre-Gilles · Pull Request #2665 · GladysAssistant/Gladys · GitHub

Ok thanks :slight_smile:
I thought this was going to use your claude code plan like for the matterbridge factory :wink:
I’ll try to find some time to look into all this

Have a great week, Gladys :rocket: Take care of yourself too.

I can develop the Philips Hue external integration, but I no longer have a bridge to test :confused:

13

Hello everyone! The ultra-intensive week begins :fire:

Can’t wait to deploy the external integrations :smiley:

14

Good luck and can’t wait to see how it turns out!

15

If this hasn’t been done already, a video or a live stream on how you use cloud agents with Anthropic would interest me

16

I had made this video where I show both Cursor iOS and Claude Cloud: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAvLE5CnBlQ

Is there something specific you’d like me to cover? :slight_smile:

17

Oh my gosh! This intensive week couldn’t have come at a better time! Did you see :sweat_smile::thinking::face_with_peeking_eye:: Claude Opus 5 is here ^^

And to think I hadn’t noticed that my VSCode had updated itself :person_facepalming::rofl: I understand now why it’s handling things so well :heart_eyes::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

18

Yes, I saw that! After that, I saw mixed reviews when comparing it to Fable 5. I think Fable 5 is still better for planning/spec tasks when it comes to data modeling or deep changes.

But I use Opus 5 for all bug fixes and easy developments :blush:

I’m testing tonight, thanks

I asked Grok to compile feedback on X regarding Claude Opus 5 :smiley:

What people are saying on X (Twitter) right now

The model is very new, so feedback is still forming, but here’s the clear trend from recent posts:

Very positive points (mostly about quality/price ratio and coding):

  • « Fable-level intelligence at half the price » → many people are repeating Anthropic’s slogan and validating it in real use.
  • Excellent for agentic coding, multi-file handling, refactoring, and looping agents. Several users call it a « coding monster » and note that daily costs have been cut in half (e.g., from $54 to $27 per day in Claude Code).
  • More efficient with tokens, faster than Fable on many tasks, and very good at following instructions (a classic weak point of Claude).
  • Some users even find it better than Fable for specific tasks (3D physics, certain one-shot games, agent coordination).
  • « Super smart, super capable, super creative, rivals Fable 5, doesn’t drain usage at all » → a very enthusiastic user who says Anthropic has finally delivered everything expected from Claude.

Negative / mixed points (they exist and are recurring):

  • Sometimes « adversarial » behavior: it opposes, makes excuses not to follow a simple instruction, or is too literal.
  • Responses can be too long, « sloppy », loop, forget instructions, or contain trivial errors or confident lies about details.
  • On very complex / creative / long-horizon tasks (e.g., tuning ultra-specific algorithms, advanced artistic design, fine planning), Fable 5 still leads for some. One user had to switch back to Fable after Opus 5 couldn’t handle it.
  • Vibe checks and feedback like « brilliant in flashes, frustrating in practice »: brilliant at times, but not always smooth in daily use.

Hey @pierre-gilles,

How’s it going? I hope you’re holding up okay?

Could you please review the following PRs during your intensive week to progress on external integrations?

22

Hello! Everything’s going smoothly, I’m rolling out the program as planned :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Now, I’m off to the gym! :flexed_biceps:

Thanks for your PRs! Are they blocking or necessary for tonight’s release?

Since this is already a big release, I’m in merge freeze mode until publication, unless there’s a real bug to fix. Otherwise, I’ll merge everything right after the version tag tonight :blush:

23

I can’t wait to go home tonight :heart_eyes::grin:

24

Nothing blocking the release, just allows to improve ^^ Visual and features
