Still far too expensive. At this point, I'm much more interested in seeing releases for models chasing down prices on "good enough" to unlock new use-cases than I am SOTA. I've been using Grok Imagine V1 in prod for mont

Their homepage really makes me think that this is actually just an attempt to speedrun cease and desists.

Where are you seeing that? At the bottom of this post from Qwen I see: Qwen 3.8 flash: $0.16 / $0.47 Compared to Deepseek 0723: $0.03 / $0.075 (units in USD/m tok)

Amazing, a landing page for an animation tool that doesn't contain a single animation.

It's always fun seeing how other people are using these tools. > Has it been worth it? For the journey, yes, for the ROI, nope. It's also nice seeing someone experiment without succumbing to AI psychosis.

I love seeing this. Background removal is such a core task used in so many systems, I group it in with speech to text in terms of importance. I love seeing maturity getting pushed in this space. Congratulations to you and the team!

No pricing table? No benchmarks? This is just marketingslop. Image token pricing has been fairly steady while text token prices fall, yet image model release discussion seems to be more focused on how beautiful the women the model generates

I've noticed the same over the last two weeks. Some days Claude will just entirely lose its marbles. I pay for Claude and Codex so I just end up needing to use codex those days and the difference is night and day.

LLMs have solved the Git problem without any need for other tooling. There is no learning curve anymore. You don't need to know any commands or even look at the CLI. You can explain in plain text what you're trying to do.

My baseline was Jina, A Chinese model provider. I had major issues with their reliability. I have no comparison to provide in terms of offline metrics as I had to do an emergency migration because their inference service has extended downti

I can't say enough nice things about Cohere's services. I migrated over to their embedding model a few months ago for clip-style embeddings and it's been fantastic. It has the most crisp, steady P50 of any external service I&

One other thought to drill deeper into regarding lingering. I'm the type of guy that always moves with purpose. When I'm done doing something, I'm quick to leave. Looking back on my life so far, I think this has often been mi

I'm two years ahead of you in this journey. I got divorced after just over a decade with my partner. Social engagements to me were always ad-hoc. I suck at planning so I often found myself more alone than I'd like. Looking back on

This is just a landing page. There's not even any decent product specs. Nothing technical. How does this make front page of hacker news?

One thing missing from this discussion is the blast radius of the product or repo in question. Let PMs land new widgets on internal dashboards or CSS changes in internal tooling. The same way we should be aspiring to build tools for devs to

I had the same problem but with a bad time machine backup. ~300GB of my 512GB disk, just labeled the generic "System Data". I lost a day of work over it because I couldn't do Xcode builds and had to do a deep dive into what w

This is super cool! I'm wondering what applications typically look like? Send a little hash like this along with a big image to show while decompressing?

Funny timing. I just migrated my personal styling app off of Nano Banana. My main use case is editing user uploads to enhance their clothing images. A large part of it is preserving logo, graphics and other technical details. I noticed over

As someone who's been in the "AI" space for a while its strange how Hugging Face went from one of the biggest name to not a part of the discussion at all.

I disagree, using python for a web-server and something like celery for background work is a pretty common pattern. My reading of this is it more or less allows you to use Postgres (which you're likely already using as your DB) for the

Where I grew up there was no "Science Fair Circuit" like described in this article. Science fairs where a way for young kids (aged 8-10) to test silly hypothesis. There was no feeding into national fairs or anything like that. I r

It's about preserving brand image. Destroying a product is favourable compared to selling it at a discount and making the brand you spent so much marketing appear "cheap".

We need a standard way of identifying agents/bots in the footers of posts. I even find myself falling for this. I use Claude Code to post a comment on a PR on behalf of myself, but there's nothing identifying that it came from an

It's refreshing to see a realistic (and familiar) product story laid out. I've gone through this exact process (Thankfully I didn't try to self-host email) trying to launch products. Congratulations on getting it out the door

Maybe I'm naive, but I find these re-engineering complex product posts underwhelming. C Compilers exist and realistically Claudes training corpus contains a ton of C Compiler code. The task is already perfectly defined. There exists a
