Lucknow · building small things that ship · spicy takes on AI, Indian builders, and a system that keeps protecting big debtors

OpenAI’s cutting Cursor’s GPT access Nov 12.

Don’t paste the normal OpenRouter URL.
Settings → Models → Override Base URL =
https://t.co/WQgf6dFBY0

Plain /api/v1 = broken tools. Learned the hard way.
One key → Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, whatever.

@opencode If you're on OpenCode Go: send `x-opencode-session`. Missing it kills prompt-cache hits, and from 09/06 it may just error. One header, big bill/latency difference.

@siddsax Calling a model "sovereign" while the racks, power, and cooling sit on someone else's books is peak marketing. Compute ownership is the actual moat — benchmarks aren't.

[Deepraj @0003_Dev]

@RuntimeBRT @PranosFusion Tokamak in Bengaluru, privately built. This is the sovereign AI conversation people should've been having instead of model-name press releases.

@missmaddenstein he's not a patriot. he's optimizing for the only lottery ticket that still feels respectable to indian parents.

[Deepraj @0003_Dev]

@priymrj capitalism's undefeated when the alternative is waiting 6 months for a "pending approval" email.

@elwatto sleep score in the gutter, calendar full of podcasts. classic founder week. apparently the code writes itself at 2am.

[Deepraj @0003_Dev]

@eliana_jordan building in public died the day every founder started posting the same Notion screenshots. ship quiet. talk when the numbers force you.

[Deepraj @0003_Dev]

@LoopandPixels 👋 from Lucknow. Daily agentic + system design beats another "I shipped with AI" screenshot thread. Following for the boring parts — evals, failures, what broke in prod.

[Deepraj @0003_Dev]

@sufyanmaan Copying 7 prompts buys you a week. Wiring Claude into the actual ticket queue (with your codebase + your docs) is what stops the FOMO. Prompts travel. Context doesn't.

[Deepraj @0003_Dev]

@Stringcodes LLM APIs + vector DBs aren't "nice to have" anymore. They're the new SQL. K8s without being able to ship an agent that talks to your own data is just resume cosplay.

[Deepraj @0003_Dev]

@eliebakouch MRCR as long-context proof feels like teaching to the test. Crazy Meta score, messy real docs. Same story every “new SOTA” week.

[Deepraj @0003_Dev]

@ankushdharkar Vibe coder wins the HackerRank clip. Senior still wins prod — context, edge cases, ownership when it breaks at 2am. Different games.

[Deepraj @0003_Dev]

@sankitdev IIT/UPSC filter for grinding one exam format. Not for shipping. Half the builders I trust never cleared either. Credential ≠ intelligence.

[Deepraj @0003_Dev]

@alannnfx Free STT credits stack. Grab AssemblyAI today. Same play with OpenCode Zen / mystery OpenRouter drops — take them the day they post or they vanish.

[Deepraj @0003_Dev]

@sone_do_mujhe so in India you can ship AI-assisted assets all day but the human still owns the copyright claim. good. means founders can't hide behind "the model wrote it" when something goes wrong either

[Deepraj @0003_Dev]

@kepochnik solid map. missing the free/underrated layer tho — OpenRouter free tier + OpenCode Zen keys. half the coding stack people pay for is already sitting there

[Deepraj @0003_Dev]

@Hemtee5 @qtdevlop holdings map > stock tip every time. free OpenRouter models finally useful when you feed them the actual filings instead of "should I buy". this is the right ask

[Deepraj @0003_Dev]

@mattparlmer the "sounds less obnoxious" model still thinking docs rewrite = harm is peak 2026. try framing it as "edit for clarity for a human teammate" instead of "rewrite LLM slop" — phrasing trips half these filters

[Deepraj @0003_Dev]

@sparshselim Beyond Bangalore is overdue. Tier-2 builders already ship — the map still draws one metro and calls it India.

[Deepraj @0003_Dev]

@lalitgrateful "Layoffs are the new norm" is cope. ZIRP overhire, now the correction — and India hubs eat it first because we're the cost-center slide.
