Mostly art projects:

- VR version of Surface Browser (3d internet browser): https://boxc.net/surfacebrowser.html

- Crowd Strike: faster self-driving: an exhibition where the visitors help autonomous drones target a different visitor each minute with lasers

and also Wingman: a dating app secretary (privacy focus, runs locally on your computer for any dating app that has a web site. It tells you if favourites have messaged you): https://boxc.net/wingman_app.png I'll open source this one if interest.

It's definitely a backup solution but even since I was drafting the blog, Qwen3 Coder Next was released. It's a functional stop gap if you want to keep things local. I try to be up front in the blog for people to "Reduce your expectations about speed and performance!"

(Also, I love your podcast!)

When you run out of quota it presents you with options to stop, upgrade -- or I added a third option in this blog to connect to a local model until your quota resets: https://boxc.net/blog/2026/claude-code-connecting-to-local-m...

This week: look at Qwen3 Coder Next and GLM 4.7 but it's changing fast.

I wrote this for the scenario you've run out of quota for the day or week but want a back up plan to keep going to give some options with obvious speed and quality trade-offs. There is also always the option to upgrade if your project and use case needs Opus 4.5.

Yes and I am also surprised to see this news here. (I voted yes to the restriction) We also approved an initiative for cheaper public transport which is cool.

Just a counter example: I live in a multi-lingual area with a big ex-pat population and see english speakers who became multi-lingual with reduced ability to distinguish homophones.

Adobe will be facing an existential crisis trying to maintain this monopoly vs AI generated content, AI augmented content generation tools and cheap image and layout apps.

It is capable of surprising beauty. It will however be as beautiful as the disaster that is modern Facebook -- and the misinformation will be more convincing and subtler.
