Claude code as a harness makes all kinds of weird design decisions, you are probably better off long term with opencode.

Ah yes the TUI is the place to ship mouse cursor based features for sure

I never thought i'd see the day they released a model, rather than a blog post. The Figure 3 demo being a screencap of chrome in localhost made me feel better about myself. Jokes aside, best western open weights model- very cool.

You can gamify anything. The concept of VC is sound.

Google is really not distinguishing itself. Even the hosted inference sucks.

Interesting. New models are estimated at ~5T params, so 45,000x increase over BERT base (110m). But vocab size of 200k, so only an increase of 7x over BERT base (30k).
