Just want to say that even if alternatives exist (not necessarily exact capabilities obviously), I appreciate what seems to be genuine excitement on your part of having built something cool / best in class. So best of luck with your vi

I think it's the same reasoning for anything these days. "You know what would be useful?" followed by asking your LLM of choice to implement it. Then again for a lot of scenarios it's your slop or someone else's slo

If that same internet provider has caps on how much bandwidth I can use every 5 hours and total on a weekly basis, then yes, I pay for capacity. That argument would have been valid when the 5 hours blocks were unlimited in the beginning.

"these tools put an outsized strain on our systems" AKA when you fully use the capacity you paid for, that's too much!

It's still possible but if you do it using your Claude Max plan, it's technically no longer allowed. They don't want you using your subscription outside of Claude Code. Only API key usage is allowed. Google also doubled down

Pi really is amazing. It's as much or as little as you need it to be. Not having to deal with Boris Cherny's UX choices for CC is the cherry on top.

I wonder when we'll reach saturation of opinionated all-in-one frameworks like these. superpowers/get-shit-done type bloated workflows that try to do everything. this seems a bit different but still in the same mental category for

Exactly that. I created an "Open Ralph" loop initially within Claude directly with review gates per phase in the OpenSpec task list. But it was always just a workaround to what I truly wanted (what I'm building now), a full e

I also like openspec. I think these type of systems (gsd/superpowers) are way too opinionated. It's not that they can't or don't work. I just think that the best way to truly stay on top of the crazy pace of changes is t

No official news about it yet, just showed up with v2.1.75 in Claude Code.

It's still not available in the API despite them announcing the availability. They even linked to their Image Playground where it's also not available.. I updated my local playground to support it and I'm just handling the 40

I created this local Sora 2 Playground if you want to play around with the new sora-2 and sora-2-pro models. It supports all params available in the API, allows you to queue multiple videos to be generated, remix videos, polls for progress,

I find that it consistently breaks around that exact range you specified. In the sense that reliability falls off a cliff, even though I've used it successfully close to the 1M token limit. At 500k+ I will define a task and it will sud

The context7 MCP helps with this but I agree.

Interesting that you're migrating assistants and threads to the responses API, I presumed you were killing them off. I started my MVP product with assistants and migrated to responses pretty easily. I handle a few more things myself bu

I like hotels but I love renting someplace unique and pretending that I live in that city or place for a week or two. I understand your point if all you're looking for is somewhere to sleep that's clean and comfy.

The comparison table on the kilo site says "OpenRouter without 5% markup" and only puts a checkbox next to kilo.

I can't find any reference to Cline/Roo charging anything on top of API pricing. Not sure how they'd do it considering you bring your own API keys. Can you link me to a resource?

Even with proper tool call descriptions, I've had quite a few occasions where the LLM didn't know how to use the tool. The tools provided by the MCP server were definitely in context and there were only two or three servers with a

We don't know whether pushing towards AGI is marching towards a dystopia. If it's winner takes all for the first company/nation to have AGI (presuming we can control it), then slowing down progress of any kind with regulation

Taken to the extreme and dumbed down, I don't think it's bad to think about it like that to be fair. HYPE spewing aside. The comment you replied to is sarcastic but magic box that does everything is pretty much where things end up

I built a local playground for it if anyone is interested (your openai org needs to be verified btw..) https://github.com/Alasano/gpt-image-1-playground Openai's Playground doesn't expose all the API options.

Not sure to be honest, but it feels like if HN never goes through a redesign, we'll still be enjoying it in 2050.

I think my positive perception of self named software dates back to Irfanview. I've been using it since 1998, never felt the need to change to anything else.
