<p>Absolutely not. I know Elon retweet them a lot when Grok is good. This is how I discover the company.<p>I like to follow them and look for benchmark for each LLM release.</p>

<p>Noob question: what's the purpose of having so many request libraries? In JavaScript it's crazy, but in Python it's starting to feel the same: requests, httpx, httpx2...<p>From my perspective, HTTP requests have been mastered for years (decades?). What's the point of switching libraries? What's so extraordinary about the <i>new</i> HTTP library that makes requests look crap?<p>I understand that new protocols appear from time to time (like HTTP/2), but that's very rare. And if there are performance differences between two libraries, are they really that huge? Even if they are, 99% of people don't need that boost. What prevents someone from just improving the existing library's performance?</p>

<p>Grok Build sucks compare to composer 2.5.
Just use compose 2.5 and you'll have basically unlimited usage on the 40$ plan.</p>

<p>Compose 2.5 is the default model in Grok Build. And it's quite incredible. It's comparable to Opus 4.7 but faster and incredibly cheaper .</p>

<p>I’ve just started a new app with an Elm frontend. I’m using Grok Build, and it integrates really well.<p>The compiler is incredibly helpful because it catches errors and gives clear explanations and the LLM can iterate over it. I’ve also added the elm-review package with the default configuration, which is fantastic for ensuring code quality.</p>

<p>To me, mini releases matter much more and better reflect the real progress than SOTA models.<p>The frontier models have become so good that it's getting almost impossible to notice meaningful differences between them.<p>Meanwhile, when a smaller / less powerful model releases a new version, the jump in quality is often massive, to the point where we can now use them 100% of the time in many cases.<p>And since they're also getting dramatically cheaper, it's becoming increasingly compelling to actually run these models in real-life applications.</p>

<p>It's because they are getting so good it's impossible to recognize them.<p>Haiku 4.5 is already so good it's ok for 80% (95%?) of dev tasks.</p>

<p>Hi HN,<p>I've been frustrated with static site generators that pile on features like tags, themes, plugins, and endless configs just to get a simple blog running. So I built *BoumWave*: a dead-simple CLI tool that converts your Markdown posts into HTML using your own templates. That's it. No bloat, no learning curve—just pure, fast blogging.<p>*What it does:*<p>- *Markdown to HTML, done right*: Write posts in Markdown, generate clean HTML with automatic SEO (Open Graph, Twitter Cards, JSON-LD, canonicals).<p>- *Multilingual from the start*: Native support for multiple languages. Create posts in one command, and it handles the rest.<p>- *Full template control*: Use your own HTML templates. It auto-inserts posts into your index between `<!-- BOUMWAVE_POSTS_START -->` and `<!-- BOUMWAVE_POSTS_END -->`.<p>- *Zero config hassle*: One `boumwave.toml` file with everything explained with inline comments. Init, scaffold, write, generate.<p>Check it out on GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/CedricRaison/BoumWave" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/CedricRaison/BoumWave</a></p>
