Happy for Adam and his team.

This is so frustrating. Fandom is a cancer on the web. Independent wikis are treasures. Google needs to fix this.

I don't love this. Wish Valve itself would have supported SteamDB.

> "loyalty"? weird word choice. All I mean is that none of the frontier LLMs are significantly better than the others for the vast majority of work, so devs are free to move between providers freely.

It's not the singularity. One of the major LLM providers goes down for some reason. Traffic shifts to the other providers because devs have no loyalty. LLMS are commodities. The other providers can't handle the increase in traffic

Can you use Pi with a Google Pro AI sub or do you need to use API billing?

I would really love to be able to use these Gemini models in Opencode or Pi with my existing Google AI Pro subscription.

Given the choice between a walled garden like Apple's app store or this, give me something open and more risky any day of the week. It's easy enough for Omarchy folks to add "verified" or "trusted" developers d

"If you own someone $340, that's your problem. If you owe someone $340,000,000, that's there problem." Might as well be a trillion dollars as it's never getting paid.

Technically speaking everything costs money to compile in the form of electricity. This is just...inefficient compilation.

Tokens are just a type of currency. Stripe is a middleman for currency. Using something like OpenRouter (or any of the AI Gateways) is better than tying yourself to one LLM provider that can rug pull on pricing or change models in a way you

This latest DeepSeek is almost at the "too cheap to meter" level. That's going to be a larger unlock than models like Fable/Mythos that are way too expensive to justify, IMO. What secret sauce do they have?

> Why is every company seemingly trying to re-implement agents themselves rather than making their product work with the existing ones? Why does any company do anything? Money, of course.

It's 100% okay for people to write in their own books, and it's okay for them to donate or sell them after the fact as long as they don't hide the fact they are written in. No one is forcing you to buy used books with writing

It's incredible that each model has it's own style that remains relatively consistent throughout all of the different generated examples.

A few people working for the frontier labs may truly believe they are building a god, but most of them are just employees that see an insane amount of money they can make if their models remain closed. Most of them aren't worried about

I think hardware like this is the future for LLM-providers once we reach a point where the models aren't advancing much any more. You could argue we're close now. The hyperscalers like AWS will made great use of these to serve up

Most people IN TECH still don't realize how much hardware prices are going to continue to increase, much less the 95% of the population that's completely unplugged from what's going on with AI-driven hardware demand. All of t

Being unable to use this with zero data retention makes this feel like a non-starter for most enterprise customers.

IME Opus 4.8 (and 4.7) is often a downgrade from 4.6. I find that it tends to overthink and overcomplicate things.

Hobbyist computing is dead for the foreseeable future. These prices are untenable.

I think two things happened: 1. The sheer number of tokens that a coding agent can use flipped the math upside down on this equation. If you use the most expensive model for everything those costs quickly become untenable, even for software

Probably some combination of: Anthropic is heavily invested in the Rust ecosystem and they want their core tools to be built on Rust. More Rust developers. More Rust training data so LLMs write better Rust code than Zig code. Advertisement

Their pricing has always been a challenge, but I think the biggest issue is that they went way too wide early on in an effort to capture the market. Their product pool was a mile wide but only an inch deep. People quickly realized many of

Incredible. Mutually assured destruction. The next five years are going to be truly WILD in the software world. Air-gapped systems are gonna be huge.

Google Docs doesn't do classic "wiki" things like bi-directional linking. Search, ironically, is also a bit of a mess. Google Docs was built as a MS Word competitor and that's what it does best. I love Google Docs and I

We're going to see a lot of this over the next 1-2 years. Software Engineers suddenly feel like they're fighting for their lives for employment, and time won't be "wasted" maintaining OSS for free. We all need to
