It starts with NVIDIA artificially and slowly releasing its tech. If the GPUs were cheaper, we would have better models by many other companies, and competition would take care of these greedy tactics.

I've been testing for the last 2 hours and compared to GPT Image 2. The pricing for 1K resolution it costs $0.0342, takes 8 seconds (not 3 sec). Compared to the GPT Image 2 api ($0.0414 for the same res, responding in 35-45 seconds) I am pleased with its quality and pricing. The texts come garbled, it adds them to every image generated without the prompt, but negative prompts do work well to remove those.

It tends to generate depressing-looking lighting, but if instructed, it overcomes it. Up close, faces also look pretty decent. I can still tell it is AI-generated, but to an untrained eye, it is nearly impossible to distinguish, especially for regular blog posts and ads.

Damn, that demo needs some moderation right now. Some dudes went nuts.

I wonder if humanity will ever go back to Nokia times small phones. If this phone was 50% smaller, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I don't want to carry these huge bricks anymore.

Not the same thing. Developers' clients are being approached by thousands of people instead of a handful. It creates the illusion that everyone can do the same thing for cheaper.

The gap is closing; a shitty wannabe programmer will eventually learn the structures one way or another. Agentic coding just got many new people involved, and these new people create noise.

I hope Cloudflare does not turn into Google, with so many different things that they will eventually kill all of these services randomly because of the maintenance cost.

Other than proxmox, what alternative do you have for "high tech"?

My dark reader was on, and half of the map was black, but I played the first level from my memory. Amazing stuff, thank you.

Video models.

Until I can buy an 80GB VRAM GPU, I won't attempt to do it. A local LLM is always missing something that needs a bigger model.

Is bypassing the router a good idea?

I think even Anthropic is very happy about it. It makes them look very advanced. But we all can see this is fake drama.

I am certain this is hype. Tomorrow, they can release Opus 4.9 and claim it is 99.99% close to Fable.

We definitely reached the available capability plateau. You are 100% correct IMHO.

LLM is plaguing the internet as usual. This site is proof of what a non-technical, inexperienced person comes up with with vibe coding.

With Claude Code in less than 5 minutes, I can come up with something 10x better, at least usable, with basic UX knowledge and flow basics.

Sorry if I offended the author, but he/she can learn from these comments.

People burning tokens for the most beginner HTML/CSS problems and writing about it is concerning.

Wouldn't it be easier and better to just copy the HTML div and tell what was happening instead of a screenshot? Typically, these scrollbars appear because of a nested div with dynamic unrestircted width and/or overflow.

No wonder why people burn through tokens.

The blog post is passive-aggressive and does not address the main points.

I said here, a human interacting with comments. You shared a blog post.
