The world doesn't make sense to me. I use 5.6 Luna. Deepseek v4 flash 0731. And kimi k3. Don't even need claude anymore at their insane prices for anything I do.

I have crossink which is awesome on the x3. I find it better with more features on top of crossink.

And then setup home assistant and picture rendering so when a package or person is detected while I'm reading on a jailbroke kindle, it pops up in the corner automatically with the feed so I can see who it is.

Tailscale too.

Having full control of these devices is awesome.

I just use whatever's cheapest for personal things. Dsv4 flash and got 5.6 Luna are great for the price and I'll use the openrouter benchmark view to compare the overall score.

Rcs had a bug that was fixed recently though

I have the llm twean every little piece of pi which is why I love it. And swapping models. Plus not having scroll jank like I got in opencode.

I even tweaked hitting "enter" when nothing is in the input box, it resume the last request. I love having this control and ease to extend and add anything to the ui

A Tesla can choose to auto lock. Or not lock.

Or not lock in a certain area.

Plus the app is an actual usable thing. Not a crap one that sends notifications about doors being unlocked in a garage that never updates.

Last year I had to take my kia to the dealer just to have connectivity work. Verizon had a change and you couldn't even fix it without going in. Antiquated dealer software updates as well.

I use kokoro with home assistant and its great. I find its the most natural sounding and small too.

I speak over sonos speakers when certain events happen. And use it as my voice assistant.

After seeing kia evs and having a Tesla. Its the only good EV brand because the software from everywhere else is a complete joke.

Kia will tell me my doors are unlocked when I'm at home.

Tesla has a set home feature. Plus the 50 other annoyances.

Regen doesn't even persist with kia. You have to press the paddle to add it every time you start the car.

All this to say, the only good ux car anymore is tesla. Too bad they leak all recordings and have privacy problems too.

$6 a month I plan to use deepseek v4 flash mainly which should provide closer to 5x the usage on the cheaper ones but no set number

I got mine! Did the reserve list 10 minutes in a few weeks ago. I like it way more than I thought.

This is an annoying problem. It keeps making fake assumptions just because of hypothetical questions I've asked in the past.

It'll assume I own a datacenter and have lots of gpus just because I asked to research things.

You can get amazing local STT using parakeet which can use as little as 600mb of vram. Better or as good as whisper v3 large

I got around 17m tokens on glm 5.2 then blocked for 4 days on the weekly limit on that plan.

I did this by having a 30ft Bluetooth dongle in my attic near my living room

I have moonlight and sunshine and also drilled through the other side of the house with a long fiber optic HDMI cable. Best of everything lol

Also a Bluetooth dongle in my attic about 40ft USB cable. Works great for home assistant too and Bluetooth devices like plant sensors outside the house over ble

Bonus points if you do tailscale and jetkvm or wake on LAN and can moonlight from anywhere.

I ran glm 5.2 on rented 8x h200 it could only do 2x concurrency at a cost of $40 an hour. It felt great but dang I wish it was cheaper... It needs 750 at fp8
