Just sharing this, I was doing my routine this morning with a couple new VMs and was thinking how much I like building my Python environments from source. Just wanted to share for anyone and show that it has certainly gotten easier over the

I believe this article has omitted an incredibly important detail that others are reporting! It is only exempting US based open weight models. This is, to my uninformed opinion, a ban on Chinese open weight models? This would seem like th

I think this is where OpenAI and Anthropic will need to go. They need to lock their clients into an ecosystem. Maybe they invent some file format proprietary for their projects. Most likely they run more and more in the cloud such that it&#

Anyone else run ads? I found the results really poor with little visibility in into what was going on. Also sky high costs. I couldn't see any (?) traffic coming through for my $3 click (wow!) ad so I paused them. This was a few weeks

How to Stay in the Coding Flow Using LLMs(jamesoclaire.com)

Sharing some tips and tricks I found for staying in a flow state while coding with LLMs. Somtimes I found myself being exhausted from using LLMs and lately I've been trying to be more deliberate in the way that I use LLMs to help with

I'm disappointed these models continue to be closed source and so expensive. Open weight models being 10x or more cheaper is just so much more of an unlock than incremental gains for me.

LLMs remind me a lot of spellcheck and diffusion image generation models remind me of clip art. Clip art seemed like a pretty big deal in the 90s, and slowly seemed to go away, though I'm not sure why. Maybe it was the rise of Photosho

A year ago I wasn't using Deepseek. Now I am. I guess what changed is which models people are using most for coding.

Anthropic is actively manufacturing scarcity of it's models to drive up their prices and prevent harder benchmarks showing how close the open weight models are to parity.

Hmm, I'm surprised it would be so much delayed. The current open weight models already feel mostly caught up. Additionally, I didn't see mention of China's much cheaper electricity and subsidies for companies to build out on

When Yeeun Jo, a student at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) contacted me in 2025 to ask about data tracking in app advertisements related to women's health and pregnancy I was a bit skeptical. Given the FTC’s subseque

I believe the comment you replied to was talking about the cost on providers like OpenCode vs Deepseek API. Deepseek API is even cheaper than the other providers for the same deepseek models.

OpenAI, though they seem to backtrack it lately, have been slowly pushing forward of their launch of ads which would be a supplemental way to support cheaper use of their models. This is currently not as great a fit as the modern day banner

True, outside of the dark tactics I imagined in the article, they will have to compete at lower costs. It's just that the current iteration does not feel cost competitive yet.

Deepseek models seem as good and are like 20x cheaper for me.

I think using open weight models will solve this. I believe they are nearly caught up and much of the gains are in the harnesses or properly orchestration of subqueries. (I'm no expert, just my opinion). When the open weight models cat

I feel like Framework really missed this boat with their desktop PC they released last year. They could have used that + a gamepad to have captured so much of this.
