I’ve been working on MemoryPlugin ( https://www.memoryplugin.com ), a tool that adds long term memory across AI tools Lately I’ve worked on a chat history based memory feature that can recall information from every conversation yo

I find the python tooling so confusing now. There’s pip, virtualenv, pipx, uv, probably half a dozen others I’m missing. I like node, npm isolates by default, npx is easy to understand, and the ecosystem is much less fragmented. I see a pyt

I've been working on a tool to add long term memory to various AI tools. It started last year as a small scratch-your-own-itch side project. After using ChatGPT Plus for a month, I went back to TypingMind, my go-to AI client at the tim

I think a few of the things you’ve mentioned in the ChatGPT article are hallucinations. There’s no user interaction metadata about topics, average message length etc., you asked the AI and it gave you a plausible sounding answer. Also the m

In my experience, Qwen 3 coder has been very good for agentic coding with Cline. I tried DeepSeek v3.1 and wasn't pleased with it.

Claude now does have a weekly limit so if you are able to hit your weekly (undisclosed, dynamic) limit in 2 days, you're unable to use the services for the next 5 days. That is what Cerebras is referencing with no weekly limits. Claude

I find it interesting, how OpenAI came out with a $200 plan, Anthropic did $100 and $200, then Gemini ups it to $250, and now Grok is at $300. OpenAI is the only one that says "practically unlimited" and I have never hit any limit

I can't trust MTEB as there's been a huge difference between benchmark scores and actual performance. I made a small tool to help me compare various embedding models: https://www.vectorsimilaritytest.com/ Qwen emb

API prices are way higher than actual inference cost.

DeepInfra is amazing in terms of price, like really, they have the Qwen3 embedding model for $0.002 per mn tokens. That's an order of magnitude cheaper than most alternatives with better benchmark scores. But the performance P99 is slo

The pricing is a little on the higher side. Working on a performance-sensitive application, I tried Mercury and Groq (Llama 3.1 8b, Llama 4 Scout) and the performance was neck-and-neck but the pricing was way better for Groq. But I'll

In my experience, there are areas where Gemini did well but Claude didn't, same for o1 pro or o3, but for 90% of the work, I find Claude way more trustworthy, better at following instructions, not making syntax mistakes, etc. Gemini 2.

Nope, it can be even a dozen (because agentic). Claude usage limits are actually based on token usage, and Claude Code uses a mix of Haiku and Sonnet. So your limits are split among those two models. I gave an estimation of how much usage y

I wrote about this on my blog: https://www.asad.pw/llm-subscriptions-vs-apis-value-for-mone... But basically you get ~300Mn input tokens and ~100Mn output tokens per month with Sonnet on the $100 plan. These are split acros

Sonnet in Copilot is crippled, Copilot agent mode is also very basic and failed every time I tried it. It would have been amazing 2 years ago, but now it's very meh. GitHub is losing money on the subs, but they are definitely trying to

I don’t know why people expect unlimited usage for limited cost. Copilot hasn’t been good for a long time. They had the first mover advantage but they were too slow to improve the product. It’s still not caught up to cursor or windsurf. Cli

Hey, as a maker, I get it. You spent time building something, and you want to understand how it gets used. If you're not collecting personal info, there is nothing wrong with this. Knee-jerk reactions aren't helpful. Yes, too much

Yes, but increasingly rarely. I mostly use Perplexity for search, sometimes ChatGPT. Only when I am looking for something _very_ specific do I use a traditional search engine. Dropping usage of search engines compounded by lack of support l

I’ve built two AI based apps. Earlier this year, I wanted clarity on some issues. I knew several of my books held keys to the answers I was seeking, but finding those felt impossible. I wanted an AI based tool I could use to talk to my boo

Piper seems roughly equivalent to old-school TTS outputs that sound flat, jumpy with the concatenative approach. Listen to this first example I tried: https://rhasspy.github.io/piper-samples/samples/en/en_GB&#

Yeah all these seem hyper focused on "voice cloning" so on replicate VoiceCraft doesn't even let you try normal TTS unless you provide a reference voice so I noped out.

by asaddhamani 2y ago
From a quick try results aren't good. Sounds bland, and the text I type isn't exactly equal to the text that is spoken. Didn't try with voice cloning though. Why is good TTS so expensive and why are there no good open source

I believe AI memory is a very important problem to solve. Our AI tools should get better and more personalised over time. (I hope it's ok to share something I've built along a similar vein here.) I wanted to get long-term memory w

Do note it can take up to 24 hours or drop requests altogether. But if that’s not an issue for your use case it’s a great cost saving.

If a site offers a reasonable priced alternative to ads I'll opt for that. I've donated at other times when that option is available. Otherwise I don't want to be tracked profusely. Ethics is sorely missing in online adverti
