In practice I find the Gemini models to be the worst for coding and design.

The irony is that the design and UX of the website is terrible.

Perhaps it's marketing to attract those who wear sweatpants to school. The author's other posts are written normally.

They took an investment from a new startup (Quantum Leap Research) focused on national security.

If it is not already, swatting someone should be considered a serious offense, like calling in a bomb threat. Baiting emergency police services to handle personal disputes is absolutely ridiculous.

Can it be used completely offline, without an account, etc?

Is that relevant? The secret is the value.

When a power supply gets old, wonky things start happening and the computer becomes unstable in weird ways. I am not sure the computer/power metaphors are the best fit.

"OpenAI is still working in GPT-4-level models."

This may or may not be true - just because we haven't seen GPT-level-5 capabilities, does not mean that it does not yet exist. It is highly unlikely that what they ship is actually the full capability of what they have access to.

"Which would be at odds with sending data up to the cloud for processing"

I don't think there is enough information here for that to be a true claim - it is possible to send the input used for inference, to the cloud, while computing the result locally. It is also possible to store the input used for inference while offline, and send that later when the device is online.

Highly recommend Ricky Ryan. Argentian DJ.

His textures mixes are a bit more laid back, perfect for the early morning: https://m.soundcloud.com/rickyryan/sets/textures

His mixtapes mixes are a bit more clubby, but still not too fast: https://m.soundcloud.com/rickyryan/sets/mixtapes

He releases a polished mix once a month, and he's been DJing for a very long time.
