AI ChinwagA community of people figuring out AI, together

A friendly Slack of devs, designers, UX and delivery folks swapping what's actually working with AI — no hype, no gatekeeping. This site is what that chatter produces: a curated archive and a daily read on where things are heading.

👋 What is AI Chinwag? ​

We're a small, friendly community of people using AI in their day jobs — building with agents, designing with it, shipping with it — and comparing notes as we go. The good bits of that conversation don't stay buried in Slack: they become the two things below.

And it turns out that's exactly what people are asking for — a recent Creative Boom survey put it plainly:

When asked what would genuinely improve their working lives, our respondents didn't point to new software. Instead, networking and community came top, cited by 57.5%, with mentorship close behind at 53%. New tools and technology trailed well behind, at just 31%.

— The State of the Creative Industry 2026, Creative Boom

That's the whole idea. AI Chinwag is the community and the connection first — the tools and links are just what we share along the way.

🗂️ The resources — curated by the community ​

Every link here was shared and vouched for by someone in the community, then filed under a topic so you can jump straight to what you're working on — building an agent harness, proving output quality, or sanity-checking the token bill. The counts are live.

📡 Radar — what the community's watching ​

Beyond the archive, Radar keeps a finger on the pulse for us — a daily sweep of what people are sharing, plus the Trends board showing how the way we work is shifting over 30 days and 3 months. Jump to development, design & UX or delivery & PM.

GPT-6 Astra's Early Coding-Agent Benchmarks

Artificial Analysis's independent read on GPT-6 Astra's early benchmark numbers against existing frontier models.

  • Scores roughly equal to Claude Fable 5 on the Coding Agent Index, but at a lower cost per task.
  • Uses fewer tokens than GPT-5.6 Sol for similar Intelligence Index performance, though that efficiency is outweighed by pricing 2.5x higher than GPT-5.6.

GPT-6 Astra: A New Generation of Intelligence

OpenAI's announcement of GPT-6 Astra, its new flagship model, which it bills as state-of-the-art on computer use, browsing, software engineering, cybersecurity, science, and professional work.

  • Rolled out first to a limited set of organizations, then to all ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users, plus the OpenAI API and AWS.
  • The launch itself was rocky — several outlets published coverage citing OpenAI's material before the official Astra page was publicly live, and OpenAI briefly pulled the post.

GitHub CLI: media in issues, pull requests, and comments

GitHub CLI's new repeatable `--attach` flag, which uploads a local image or video and references it inline in an issue, pull request, or comment body.

  • Works on `gh issue create/edit/comment` and `gh pr create/edit/comment`; supports PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, SVG, MP4, MOV, and WebM.
  • Size limits match the web upload flow — 10MB for images/GIFs, 10MB for video on Free plans, 100MB on paid plans; requires gh CLI 2.99.0+ and repo write access.
  • Repeatable per command, and `--attach './image.png#Description'` sets alt text.
