Claude Code trims bloat from smart TVs: Disables 25 apps, reducing desktop memory usage by 57%

59 minutes ago

Insight: Beating AI News Flash, developer Mihir Gupta spent an afternoon using Claude Code to revamp his laggy TCL smart TV. The device only has 2GB of RAM; the AI helped him disable 25 pre-installed apps and background services, and replace the ad-ridden native home screen with a custom interface he built. The new home screen’s RAM usage dropped from 192MB to 83MB, a roughly 57% reduction. The interface mimics Apple TV’s design, retains shortcuts for frequently used apps, HDMI input, and settings, and automatically switches wallpapers between 12 nature photos. The entire installation package is just 4.7MB, with no requirement for root access or firmware flashing. After enabling the TV’s developer mode, Claude Code connects to the device via Wi-Fi and ADB, checks pre-installed software, backs up configurations, develops the new home screen, and verifies results via screenshots. Gupta has open-sourced all related code, prompts, and recovery scripts. This is not the first AI-powered TV modification: In early September, engineer Mert Cobanov used Claude Code to clean a 4-year-old Android TV. On October 17, developer Gathin open-sourced a similar project named tv-vibehack, and Gupta’s work was inspired by this project.

Google open-sources Harness²: Allows AI to autonomously improve toolchains, lifting GLM-5's benchmark score by 11.5 points.

Insight: Beating AI Flash News, Google Research has open-sourced Harness2, enabling AI agents to automatically modify system prompts, memory, skills, tool rules, and even scripts and plugins without retraining the underlying model. The project is licensed under Apache 2.0 and supports OpenCode and Codex. Its core mechanism lets agents learn through trial and error: when facing a new task, the system first proposes multiple improvement plans, has different agent versions execute them separately, compares their performance, and finally combines the best elements to form a more suitable solution. Even without a standard answer, it can identify improvement directions based on actual execution processes. After a task is completed, the system retains records of which modifications worked and why, so it can reference this data for similar tasks in the future instead of starting from scratch each time. Google tested Harness2 using GLM-5 and Gemini 3.5 Flash. On WorkBuddy-Bench, GLM-5 paired with OpenCode saw its average score jump from 64.2 to 75.7 after just one round of optimization, outperforming unoptimized Gemini 3.5 Flash’s 72.4 points. In legal task tests, GLM-5’s pass rate for some scoring criteria also rose from 59.6% to 71.4%. However, the experiment defaulted to Claude Opus 4.8 for proposing and implementing improvements, with GLM-5 and Gemini primarily responsible for executing tasks—meaning the evolution was not achieved entirely by these models on their own. Chinese developer Joseph Zhou also demonstrated an experiment integrating Harness2 with Jev 1.14, noting consistent improvements in performance on visual tasks.
