I know it is not easy to see the benefits of small models easily but this is what I am building for (1). I created a product for Google Gemini 3 Hackathon and I used Gemini 3 Flash (2). I tested locally using Ministral 3B and it was promisi

More people are jumping in because of the thrill of it. We are in the early days and I believe that things will get better as more people will calm the f down. People who have built things for ages will continue to do so, with or without co

I am working on a client project, originally built using Google Vision APIs, and then I realized Tesseract is so good. Like really good. Also, if PDF text is available, then pdftotext tools are awesome. My client's usecase was specific

For the last couple weeks I have been building dwata and I am going to submit today for Google Gemini Hackathon. https://github.com/brainless/dwata dwata is built on the idea of multiple, task-specific agents. Right no

I agree with the author but then I do not. I have been interested in code tool for agents for quite a while now. My product was originally a coding agent and I pivoted to building an agent platform with multi-agent orchestration. I still fo

I like the high level points but unless Mozilla finds revenue from this, are they not doing too much with mostly donation based revenue?

I'm building an agent builder and execution platform. It's a multi model, multi agent system with lots of tools (bash, databases, APIs, crawler...). Agents are codified for specific goals. Any business process that needs agent bas

I agree but that is not the issue. See the really "large" models are great at a few things but they are not needed for daily tasks, including most coding tasks. Claude Code itself uses Haiku for a lot of tasks. The non-SOTA compan

I do not know what that next level is to be honest. Web search, crawler, code execution, etc. can all be easily added on the agent side. And some of the small models are so good when the context is small that being locked into one provider

I know this will sound strange, but SOTA model companies will eventually allow subscription based usage through third-party tools. For any usage whatsoever. Models are pretty much democratized. I use Claude Code and opencode and I get more

I am always interested in seeing alternatives in the edge compute space but self hosting does not make sense to me. The benefit of edge is the availability close to customers. Unless I run many servers, it is simply easier to run one server

The course is broader and it is for people who are not from a technical background at all. Think about a course to introduce the idea of working with LLMs for day to day work. What are agents, then focusing on coding agents, and so on.

I co-mentor with a large online school for an AI accelerator course. We get about 600 participants each month, paying about $500-600 for a 14 day course. I only co-mentor for 2 days - the days we teach fundamentals of software development a

Lovely project. Also @rubenvanwyk mentioned SlateDB. I am not sure if this will fit my use-case but, today, I was looking for data hosting options for a self-hosted LLM+bot for email/calendar. I have this product I have tried and stopp

I simply ask Claude Sonnet, using claudecode, to use opencode. That's it! Example: We need to clean up code lint and format errors across multiple files. Check which files are affected using cargo commands. Please use opencode, a c

I do not spend $100/month. I spend for 1 Claude Pro subscription and then a (much cheaper) z.ai Coding Plan, which is like one fifth the cost. I use Claude for all my planning, create task documents and hand over to GLM 4.6. It has bee

I am using GPL 3.0 mostly from a business standpoint, so that I can sell a commercial license to companies that may want to modify the project. In really LLMs will launder everything they can, I am not sure if that can be stopped. So that a

I use LLMs to generate almost all my code. Currently at 40K lines of Rust, backend and a desktop app. I am a senior engineer with almost all my tech career (16 years) in startups. Coding with agents has forced me to generate more tests than

Halfway through I realized where this is going. Could not hold the tears. These are tough choices. My parents are alive, getting older. My dad has fairly serious mental health issues. Life has never been easy in a very dysfunctional family.

The skills approach is great for agents and LLMs but I feel agents have to become wider in the context they keep and more proactive in the orchestration. I have been running Claude Code with simple prompts (eg 1) to orchestrate opencode whe

I prefer using LLM. But many people will ask what is an LLM and then I use AI and they get it. Unfortunate. At the same time, LLMs are not a bullshit generator. They do not know the meaning of what they generate but the output is important

Very happy to see this since I am building in this domain. We need external and internal context though. I am aiming for always available context for current and related projects, reference projects, documentation, library usage, commands a

My experience has been the opposite. I came from Python and Typescript and the initial amount of reading and fighting with the compiler was very frustrating but I understood one thing that sets Rust apart - I write code with almost the same

May I add Gliner to this? The original Python version and the Rust version. Fantastic (non LLM) models for entity extraction. There are many others. I really think using small models for a lot of smell tasks is the best way forward but it&#
