Its Llama 3.1 8B, a very old/small model.

I'm working on a SaaS where you can switch between different OpenRouters on the fly. /s

The word sponsored in inside an SVG element with a linked `use` tag, so it's not that simple.

Its more targeted? Sure I can allow an LLM to access CLI, but then it will try to pipe to other command, write scripts etc. MCP is simply request/response. Its not really that technically different, but the way you and LLMs interact with it allows for easier control. IMHO.

If the original released a bunch more features that you wanted why wouldn't you just redo the conversion against the latest version?

If I wanted to sort by date taken I would do just that using the EXIF data on them.

This is one of the best things about PHP IMO. It makes it very easy to scale out.

I think this misses one of the main selling points of PHP, the shared nothing, single thread, fire and forget methodology that I can throw behind a load balancer and spin up 100 servers.

And the waiting is somewhat frustrating, what am I supposed to do while I wait? I could just sit and watch, or context switch to another task then forget the details on what I was originally doing.

Yea seems the rate limit should be stricter, I made a quick script to do 1 move (capture) every 150ms, doesn't seem to get throttled.

I like how generals.io did it where they explicitly made a bot only server/version.

It would be nice if I could tell it what page to look at (maybe you can, I am not sure). Often if I am getting an LLM to write some code that I can see is obviously wrong, I would love to say here is the docs ... use that to formulate your response.
