This! So much this. After Opus 4.8 I could barely comprehend anything it was attempting to communicate.

.... Minus that Nvidia keeps contributing to the open ecosystem with nemotron, among countless other open contributions.

Tagging files in Claude desktop in code mode works fine for me, as does CLI. With that said, in Cowork, it's been broken for some time and driving me crazy.

I've shifted most of my usage to Codex/ChatGPT Work. The UX of appshots, browser annotations (now available in claude), and the computer use being so much less intrusive in OpenAI.

Yeah, there's a ton of great improvements in 7-28. I'm personally excited about what you posted about, but also with [tasks](https://blog.modelcontextprotocol.io/posts/2026-07-28-releas...) being officially adopted.

Definitely agree on the title. Also could have worked as 'Some minor annoyances that, when fixed, would improve OpenCode. Also, I don't like AI"

I can understand and appreciate the hesitation. I must admit I've simply adjusted to the idea that anywhere that I am, outside of my house, I assume someone is potentially recording or transcribing at a minimum audio.

I'm frankly far more upset by the lack of privacy due to poor security from credit reporting agencies than I am of these notetakers.

Z.ai is based in China and serves out of Singapore, that's surely why.

Perhaps very good, perhaps very bad, perhaps not possible. Ultimately, I think it still comes down to whatever PEOPLE decide.

I don't mean one person, I mean people, as a species.

There is a newer BLIP-2, but it's also fairly old. You're better off with many other local models such as Moondream 3 https://huggingface.co/moondream/moondream3-preview.

Moondream is great as it can point, count, perform bounding boxes, descriptions, and visual grounded reasoning.

Great work, thank you for doing this. Just so I understand, this isn't yet available yet, right? Still in SEP stage?

I've noticed some behavior like this, it's a very strange model. Overall I'm into it, but I don't know how into it I'll be once it leaves Max plans on the 22nd.
