That makes sense because Cline existed prior to tool use being part of the standard LLM APIs. I think OpenAI had it at that point, but Anthropic and Ollama hasn't yet standardized on an API. But the vendors are training their models s

This is also happening to Anthropic. The adoption of AI is accelerating right now, or at least token usage is accelerating is with agentic workflows coming on online.

I do worry about the viability of OpenAI in particular. So much of its talent went to other firms which then built up amazing capaibilities like Anthropic with Claude. And then they also have the threat of OpenSource models like DeepSeek

I've been ESM only for the last 2 years and it has been amazing. Now to be fair, I am doing it on new projects so that probably simplifies things, but it is very freeing and performant.

Hmm getting rid of physical plugs will affect a few different workflows. I think it is currently required to use the iPhone as a webcam on MacBooks. I love that feature. Most portable chargers assume physical plugs, very few are wireless.

It doesn't seem to work that well. Once you move off the primary camera axis, like rotate around, you notice that there are many regions with only sparse resolution and there are gaps everywhere. It is totally unusable for anything.

I think Google sees a fast growing company and is acquiring it. Many GCP related acquisitions are weird, like Looker, Apogee and are awkward fits. Unsure how this goes.

Yeah, the anti-AI responses I got to this seem to come from people who don't actually need to use GIMP to do real world tasks, but they are sure vocal in their opinions as to the direction that tool should go. Hilarious.

I guess I should support AWS Bedrock as an alternative in my app that uses Claude: https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/claude/ How many outages has Anthropic had? I have to assume AWS has had less given their pedigree

That is a good idea. Maybe someone who do a public call for a lead maintainer for that. Posting this as a sub-comment may not be the best way to get large visibility.

These 4 features are AI related but each of them have separate strong use cases. Looking at popular commercial tools like Adobe Photoshop and Topaz tools for inspiration is just logical -- it means there is clear demand for these features

Gimp is amazing and like Blender has replaced my use of proprietary tools in the area of 2D and 3D editing. My wishlist for GIMP 4 is to see AI tooling integrated by default: - Image generation that will do completions based on prompts on a
