Converting Claude Code into the most intelligent Deep Research Agent

Over the past several weeks, I've been working on HyperResearch, a Claude Code skill harness that converts CC into the most intelligent deep research framework out there. HyperResearch surpasses OpenAI, Google, and NVIDIA's offerings in the agentic search space based on DeepResearch Bench.

All the evidence unveiled so far in Musk v. Altman

The Musk v. Altman trial is underway, and that means exhibits, or the evidence to be presented in court, are being revealed piece by piece. So far, email exchanges, photos, and corporate documents are circulating from the earliest days of OpenAI - and from before the AI lab even had a name. Some high-level takeaways: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang gave OpenAI an in-demand supercomputer, Musk largely drafted OpenAI's mission and heavily influenced its early structure, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman appeared to want to lean heavily on Y Combinator for early support for OpenAI, OpenAI president Greg Brockman an...
