I just sent the January edition of my sponsors-only monthly newsletter (https://github.com/sponsors/simonw/). If you are a sponsor (or if you start a sponsorship now) you can access it here (https://github.com/simonw-private/monthly/blob/main/2026-01-january.md). In the newsletter for January:

• LLM predictions for 2026

• Coding agents get even more attention

• Clawdbot/Moltbot/OpenClaw went very viral

• Kakapo breeding season is off to a really strong start

• New options for sandboxes

• Web browsers are the “hello world” of coding agent swarms

• Sam Altman addressed the Jevons paradox for software engineering

• Model releases and miscellaneous extras

Here’s a copy of the December newsletter (https://gist.github.com/simonw/13e595a236218afce002e9aeafd75cd0) as a preview of what you’ll get. Pay $10/month to stay a month ahead of the free copy!
