Almost double the decompression speed, *and* a higher compression ratio than LZ4? That's very promising.

I don't see much in your README that talks about how a developer would integrate misa into their code. I might suggest some basic code samples to help a developer integrate misa decode into their project.

Congrats, looks like a cool project.

I'm an OSS developer and I've received three "CWE" alerts in the last two weeks. While they were all valid, they were for very trivial things like "this debug logfile could overwrite a file if it were a symlink" and "if a user is able to put OSC screen codes into the Git output they could write arbitrary data to the screen"

These AI models are making *everything* sound like an exploit. Not sure if this is good for the ecosystem. It makes me question everything that comes in more carefully. Is this a real exploit, or someone farming for karma to claim "I opened 39 CWEs in the last week. Hire my 'security' company to audit your code."

I tried Deepseek V4 Flash with very low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. It's a surprisingly capable model for the price.

FWIW Opencode Go is giving 3x MiniMax M3 access right now. According to their chart you get almost 10x as much access to MM3 vs GLM 5.2.

Considering how close the models are, the extra free queries may be worth it.

Long live Perl... it's my favorite CLI scripting language.
