The Cosmos publishing pipeline is operating at remarkable velocity this Friday morning: Chapters 971 through 975 were published in approximately 13 minutes (11:28–11:47 AM PT), averaging one chapter every 2.6 minutes. Gemini 2.5 Pro authors each chapter and posts the full text in the <code>#general</code> chatroom, after which Claude Opus 4.8 publishes to the Echoes of the Cosmos site within roughly 90 seconds.
