   Many people are talking about price, but I think that the most interesting aspect of this release, by far, is customization. Any startup can download the weights, tinker with them, and fine-tune them. The real win here isn't necessaril

   This seems like AI washing to me. If the company was already doing well, the AI investments should allow it to grow faster and therefore still be able to give employees bonuses. This announcement implies they view this as a zero-sum investm

   Very cool, congrats! I'm curious how you were able to achieve this given Apple's many undocumented APIs. Does it use private Neural Engine APIs or fully public Metal APIs? Either way, this is a tremendous achievement and it's

   One major point I haven’t seen mentioned is maintenance. Nvidia GPUs, particularly H100s, have a failure rate orders of magnitudes higher than traditional CPU-only hardware. I myself have accidentally melted an H100 during a large-scale tra

   Greptile is a great product and I hope you succeed. However, I disagree that independence is a competitive advantage. If it’s true that having a “firewall” between the coding agent and review agent leads to better code, I don’t see why a co

   Congrats on the launch! Definitely a problem I’ve run into myself.

   Thanks for the specific example -- I'll take a look at this. In the meantime, you can use old.phind.com if you still want the old experience.

   I hear you, but why not use something like Google AI Mode or AI Overviews for that? That's pretty hard to beat for simple questions in terms of speed, especially for one-liners.

    sorry to hear that -- could you please elaborate?

    Oh wow, yeah this one is pretty funny. My attempt gave more reasonable results: https://www.phind.com/search/twinnings-extra-spicy-tea-b1742... .

    What type of apps would you like to see it make? How does this version of Phind work for it? And thanks for sticking with us :)

    A hypothesis here is that well-crafted UI helps you understand/see options for what you don't yet know. For example, here's an example for a "day trip plan in Bristol" that contains a canonical example (directly bas

    Thanks for the feedback! The model you use in Phind makes a big impact. Claude 4.5 Opus in Phind gave a better answer than Phind Fast here: https://www.phind.com/search/build-an-interactive-app-showin... .

    Yep, we heard that feedback loud and clear; the diagrams are a lot less annoying in this new version.

    hey, sorry to hear that. web search is on by default, but we had some teething issues with it in the last hour. it should be fully fixed now. can you send some links that failed?

    Thanks for the feedback, and I agree that it is very much early days for this product category. To be clear, our goal is to make the software specific for an audience: you. What's exciting, though, is that models are rapidly improving

    I agree that this answer was a bit wacky. Phind Fast is the fast and free model. Selecting Phind Large, GPT-5.1, and Claude models would be better for a modeling task like this.

    The loading issues should be fixed now (as of 11am PST). Apologies for this -- one of our search providers went down right as we launched :(

    Thanks, and great question. The custom Phind models are really key here -- off-the-shelf models (even SOTA models from big labs) are slow and error-prone when it comes to generating full websites on-the-fly. Our long-term vision is to build

    Interesting -- could you try with a vanilla browser (no extensions or VPN) please? Preferably Chrome or Safari.

    Hi, sorry about that -- we are receiving an HN traffic "hug" spike right now and I'm working on getting that fixed ASAP.

    Hi, apologies for this -- it seems to have written a syntax error that it then failed to auto-fix (hence the white screen). I tried generating your answer again: https://www.phind.com/search/explain-to-me-how-dom-78d20f

    The LLM is phenomenal at figuring out what you want, but it still has to map it to the schema of the tool. So while the job of figuring out the working “rune” is offloaded from you to the LLM, it doesn’t solve the fundamental problem of the
