i did this with opus5.5 this year and it caught an 8000$ mistake. Obviously i should find a new CPA, but i have found it incredibly helpful. One downside is that it will likely also flag a bunch of "by the book" libilities to how your filing that I'm pretty sure most CPA would let slide.
My first experience in antigravity was extremely disappointing.
I asked for a QUICK healthcheck on the sync status of a bigquery integration. It literally spun for 25m before I killed it.
The task, which is CLEARLY outlined in the agent readmes just involved using the gcloud cli to initiate auth, then just run a few queries to check logs and timestamps.
Even 3.6 flash can get this right (most the time).
I wanted to do this with a google home hub so i can run my own fully local "home assisant", but claude rejected it... instead i ordered a used lenovo thinkview device which appetently has a community around custom bootloading...
But it does make you think there might be a real market for unlocked devices like this now that it is trivial to build your own software to do exactly what you want.
I think that sould be obvious without even looking at the code... Like what artcraft did with adobe, its now viable to offer apps completely free by leveraging 100% ai. You could argue the code quality doesnt matter much as long as it works (for local apps security is less a concern).
Also, when building similar style apps, I often don't even start git until the app is in a stable state. The earliest code is often worthless and the overall direction not stable.
i forked handy and built 2 modes. One for dictation and one for quick agent actions that uses the pi harness with local models and jev style classifiers so it can read screens and interact with elements (via accessiblity tree, screenshots, os scripts, bash, mcp, etc). Its nice because in agent mode you can just give it instructions on how to respond (like dictation that can read the context of the current page or input). I've been pretty happy with it so far and debating if i should release it. Just not sure if the world needs yet another vibe coded agent system.
Despite whatever else happens with AI, I am excited about the near future where we have an open source version of basically every app. I hope this is the beginning of the end of the subscription model. Keep it up!
This thing is obviously fully vibe coded... Click the "what's coming next" and under the healthcare section the marketing screenshot contains broken images... Like no one ever looked at this before deploying it?
I agree there is probably some impact on output quality when doing this (Claude seems to embedded key signals all over the writing, which is much or what makes it horrible to read). However this does work well as a "second pass" over technical docs or designs along the way
Seems like a lot of this knowledge was encoded into the blog post. I wonder if given this post and access to a planet scale instance to compare with, how close an agentic agent could get.
Meanwhile, I just setup codex for the first time (to try Astra) and it offered to load my Claude and Cursor conversations and claims to even do it in a way where it says in sync if you use both. The only reason to use Claude Code is the 20x usage of the 200$ plan is ridiculous value if you have the need for that volume.
I don't follow iphone products, but if it's anything like android this is because they tend to be the lower end models and are missing the features that people really want (mainly a better camera/lens setup). The top of the line models are ALWAYS the bigger phones and if your going for something budget, then you're better off with the Chinese brands for value.
We use mcp as a "gateway" for a customer facing cloud agent. It basically is just a tool registry and could have been built using open-api... but MCP is arguably more robust/aligned for context management and the agent frameworks and observability tools support it first class.
Wouldn't most opensource harnesses work with lmstudio? I assume it has an "openai" style chat API like every other model provider? What's special about it vs langchain deep agents or pi or pydantic-ai?
I would honestly consider one of these for the utility of a cheap, small electric truck, but not having 4wd is an absolute deal breaker for a truck in the mountain west.
I've always assumed there is some sort of "acclimation" period, maybe even related to the conditions you grew up in. I much would rather spend a time outside in -40c (with proper outerwear) than 40c. I'm relatively healthy but I feel like my body shuts down at anything above 36c
They didn't remove the bolts for "leave no trace" reasons. They removed them because the style they were put up was considered "poor climbing ethics". They felt it could go "free" and on gear.
This would have made the summit unobtainable to all but the strongest climbers in the world... Which would have upset many people who had traveled far and spent a lot of money to attempt the summit.
Alex Honnolds "climbing gold" podcast has like a 3 part series on this history if your interested to learn more.
I don't see any mention of "the market" anywhere in this thread. I'm just talking about the ability for a motivated user to solve real problems with these tools. Right now these solutions are available to software developers but over time it will become approachable to more users
These use cases will just be built as "open source" (openclawd) or even custom one off application in the future. I've been building apps to run the tedious parts of my life recently. Meal planning, personal finance, bills, tax organization... Why would I pay for services that will be enshiftified when I can build a app that does exactly what I want in an afternoon. Yes the code is shit and it wouldn't scale... But it doesn't need to
I made the switch from premier to resolve a few years ago and it feels like such a breath of fresh air. Being able to do the same with Lightroom would be amazing so can't wait to check this out. I've been using the free version and honestly never needed the pro features but I think I'll make the one time purchase today just to support a non-subscription based product of this caliber
Not sure I understand. If you generate a random string to use as a reference for something that the LLM interacts with... and the LLM cannot reliably recall the reference, then it's a problem that needs to be solved by simplify the random string.
The problem is really more getting the agent to reliable relay a UUID. For example, we were creating files for visualizations and having the agent reference them in there response with a custom <visualization file=UUID /> and found that it would often fail to accurately return a UUID from a tool response it was previously provided (running sonnet 4.6).
For this use case, our solution was just to use a slug for the filename, but we can control the uniqueness constraint on our backend.
Coding agents don't really need memory. Agent skills, rules, git history, documentation is all far more efficient, transparent and easier to manage. These memory frameworks only really makes sense if you are building a consumer facing agent with managed context and limited capabilities.
