Parrot launches as open-source, GPL-3.0 Mac app for local meeting recording and AI copilot

Parrot is a free, open-source meeting recorder for Mac that captures audio your computer already plays, rather than joining calls as a bot. It works with Zoom, Meet, Teams or any audio source, offers searchable transcripts via a local command palette, and can integrate with tools like Claude Desktop, Cursor and Codex. Users can run it fully offline using Whisper and Ollama, or opt into cloud AI providers like Groq or Deepgram for transcription, paying those providers directly.

Anthropic sped up Claude.ai and desktop app roughly 3x in two-week sprint

Anthropic engineers spent a two-week sprint in August optimizing four core user journeys in claude.ai and the Claude desktop app, which together account for 95% of user activity. Measured at the 75th percentile, load time for a fresh claude.ai page dropped from 3.1 seconds to 0.55 seconds, new Claude Code sessions went from 0.8 to 0.3 seconds, and Claude Cowork cloud sessions improved from 2.6 to 0.73 seconds, with a 3.1x average speedup across 13 measurements.
