This model is on the pareto frontier, by Artificial Analysis' benchmarks.

From here, it looks like opencode is hemorrhaging money. I've got a Opencode Zen free account, and I've been using deepseek-v4-flash-free on Pi for a bit, and I haven't hit a limit yet. Sometimes my request fails, but retrys work. I know this is a very cheap model, but it's being given out for free. I assume they might be training on outputs?

Does this guy have access to Gemini 4 already?

I'm guessing Gemma 4 was happy to be mistaken for Gemini and didn't catch this mistake.

How does it run the LLMs? Or does it call a API to llama.cpp/ollama/etc. ?

During normal usage, how often does it try to parse info from the screen capture? Once a minute?

Michael Stevens (of Vsause fame) copies long quotes into notebooks, and he claims the act of writing it helps him remember. And if it's not worth writing, it's not a good enough quote.

They supposedly have a style control system, but I doubt it's perfect. I wish there was a parento view like this for agentic systems(using a standard harness)

I use this setup as well. I've written an alias for bwrap which only gives the agent access to the current directory and read only access to the docs.

It has read-only access to my binaries, and I worry which programs I have might be a fingerprinting issue. I've thought about mounting a alternate /bin which using a docker image. (docker export)

Have you managed to setup any firewall or protection for the API keys? I know this is out-of-scope for bwrap.

edit: Maybe https://github.com/rootless-containers/slirp4netns could work

The second point is funny. I don't think not using air conditioning due to energy use is why Europeans don't have AC. (I'm European). It's beacuse it's expensive and difficult to retrofit. And we are getting more AC, lots of new buildings have it.

I agree with the article that Europeans should install more AC and that worrying about climate change isn't a valid reason not to. But this isn't because I don't beleve in climate change, it's because I don't agree with the idea of a climate footprint, and that people should worry about their own energy usage. They should worry about energy generation and green energy policy.

The rest of the article is either racist or ridiculous.

This does read a little like AI, but I can't see many vocabulary based Claude-isms. But it does start with an anecdote, and there are other aspects of the writing which seem AI.

I think the "architectural features" are part of the model, not the kv cache. So implementing it would be difficult and expensive.

Most of the time, the speed of these models are constrained by memory bandwidth. GPUs normally have much more memory bandwidth.

> Gondolin gives you that. Lightweight micro-VMs (QEMU by default, optional libkrun backend) boot in under a second on your Mac or Linux machine. The network stack and virtual filesystem are implemented entirely in JavaScript, giving you complete programmatic control over what the sandbox can access and what secrets it can use.

I don't think there is any content. When you try and view the page, it seems to send:

It would be beneficial to not use youtube links for things like QR codes. Since the content of youtube videos can't be changed once they're posted, you risk linking to old information.

https://cew.georgetown.edu/about-cew/ looks like something you'll put on a poster. But you may also want to update the video. So you can use a redirect you control, not a youtube link.

That's my explanation for why these redirects exist. But why the intext's contain "Go to channel Hook Global.", I have no idea. Maybe SEO thing, or even prompt injection?

Edit:

I don't think this is anything to do with Hook Global. I think that google has indexed the suggestions in youtube. For youtube, the intext is normally just the description of the video. But with a redirect, it seems to use the suggestions.

"Go to channel BBC News" -site:youtube.com

Also has some(not as many) of these links. I don't think BBC are doing some dodgy SEO.

Gondolin[1] is what you are describing. It's made by the same person who made the Pi coding agent and sends all of the agent's bash into a small QEMU vm.

For people who saw this and might want a recomendation, I like running a tiny qwen model with llama cpp. Qwen2.5 coder 0.5B or 1.5B (not the instruct version)

On a modern-ish GPU these should run really fast with little latency. They cost nothing and don't send your data to anyone.
