Since Bitwarden is open source, can't somebody create a community-driven fork? Maybe a self hosted option?

"We also support inpainting, enabling targeted audio editing and the continuation of short recordings."

I didn't know there were models for that. Very cool!

I guess it depends if you are working on something important to national security. Especially corporate codebases, etc.

Does that include OpenCode? That's what I care about most and it's the primary reason I've been sticking with OAI the past few months.

Anthropic doesn't, but Google and OAI both release open source models. Just not 1T parameter ones.

They did something to Settings after MacOS Monterey that made it very slow. I miss the snappiness of the old app!

I specifically do not use the CN/SG based original provider simply because I don't want my personal data traveling across the pacific. I try to only stay on US providers. Openrouter shows you what the quantization of each provider is, so you can choose a domestic one that's FP8 if you want

GLM 5 beats Kimi on SWE bench and Terminal bench. If it's anywhere near Kimi in price, this looks great.

Edit: Input tokens are twice as expensive. That might be a deal breaker.

Protip for Mac people: If OpenCode looks weird in your terminal, you need to use a terminal app with truecolor support. It looks very janky on ANSI terminals but it's beautiful on truecolor.

I recommend Ghostty for Mac users. Alacritty probably works too.
