  • What up, nerds?

  • I'm Jared, and this is Changelog News for the week of Monday, January 26, 2026.

  • This year's Northern Lights show went on tour and has even been visible as far south as California.

  • We got a peek at it from our back deck somewhere in middle America,

  • but our experience paled in comparison to airline pilot Matt Melnick who captured some astounding shots from 37,000 feet on his route from Calgary to London.

  • Links to Matt's photos are in the newsletter.

  • Okay, let's get into this week's news.

  • ClaudeBot triggers a run on Mac Minis.

  • ClaudeBot, an open source,

  • personal AI assistant that runs on your own hardware, has many developers excited.

  • Quote, developers aren't just impressed, they're calling it an iPhone moment,

  • comparing it to early AGI and in some cases, letting it run their entire companies.

  • End quote.

  • What's all the excitement about?

  • Quote.

  • Given the right permissions, Cloudbot can browse the web,

  • execute terminal commands, write and run scripts,

  • manage your email, check your calendar, and interact with any software on your machine.

  • Perhaps the most compelling feature is that Cloudbot is self-improving,

  • tell you on a new capability, and it can often write its own skill to make it happen.
