In the AI programming tools space, a war over "subscription buffets" and open-source freedom is unfolding.
Last month, my AI assistant bill was $87. This month, it's $20—and I got more done. Here's how ChatGPT Plus's hidden Codex feature changed everything. The Cost Crisis of AI Automation In 2025, AI Agent tools have exploded in popularity. OpenClaw, as a leading open-source AI assistant framework, enables users to run powerful automation tasks locally or on servers—from code writing and file management to complex multi-step workflows. However, the biggest barrier to using OpenClaw isn't technic

We are currently living through the "hype hangover" of the artificial intelligence boom. A little over three years after ChatGPT’s late-2022 release, the initial shock of fluent machine text has faded, replaced by the grinding reality of integration challenges, copyright lawsuits, and hallucination rates that refuse to hit zero. Yet, despite the cooling of public frenzy, the technological temperature remains critically high. We are not returning to the status quo; we are simply acclimating to a

The recently popular open-source AI agent project, OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot-Moltbot), has been exposed for a severe security vulnerability. The test results from AI security firm ZeroLeaks are alarming: a security score of just 2 out of 100, an 84% data extraction success rate, and a 91% prompt injection success rate. What’s worse, a security researcher discovered that OpenClaw’s Supabase database was completely public, with no Row-Level Security enabled. Anyone with the anonymous key could r

Prologue: When Karpathy Hit the “Astonishment” Button On January 30, 2026, a seemingly ordinary Friday, Andrej Karpathy, the former Director of AI at Tesla and a founding member of OpenAI, posted a message on X that instantly set the tech world ablaze. He wrote: “What’s currently going on at @moltbook is genuinely the most incredible sci-fi takeoff-adjacent thing I have seen recently. People’s Clawdbots (moltbots, now @openclaw) are self-organizing on a Reddit-like site for AIs, discussing var

In early 2026, a post by AI luminary Andrej Karpathy (former Director of AI at Tesla, founding member of OpenAI) about his recent intensive programming sessions with Claude quickly went viral in the tech community. With nearly 20 years of experience as a top expert in software development and artificial intelligence, his firsthand experiences and deep reflections reveal the dramatic changes, real challenges, and future possibilities unfolding in the era of AI programming. This article will prov

When AI Needs a Constitution Have you ever thought about this: when AI becomes increasingly intelligent and encounters situations without clear answers, what should it do? This isn’t just a technical problem—it’s a matter that concerns the future of human civilization. Anthropic has created a constitution for its AI assistant Claude, which sounds pretty novel. But this isn’t some rigid rulebook. Rather, it’s a fascinating attempt to guide AI behavior through values and judgment, not a bunch of

The Framework You Learned Last Month? Already Obsolete. Monday morning. You open your laptop, scroll through tech Twitter, and realize: that framework you just mastered? There’s already a better one. Your colleague using AI tools? They shipped in a day what took you a week. And those job postings? Filled with skills you’ve never heard of. Sound familiar? Here’s the thing: you’re not falling behind because you’re not learning fast enough. You’re falling behind because you’re using the wrong to
