Mages changed more than you think in WoW Forever.

Here's everything that's different from Classic.

[Chris Baldwin @baldwinbuilds]

No more alt-tabbing for your build. Talents Forever is in the game now. Plan it without spending a point and try what everyone else is running. Free on CurseForge. Still beta so tell me what's off.

For a while I think a lot of us worried WoW Forever would be solved before it even came out. Five days into beta now and 10,877 mages have built 7,862 different builds on https://t.co/pdoXyvusJM, and the most copied one is 377 people. Theorycrafting is back and it's just so fun.

Talents Forever Wrapped (pre-beta)

Most picked talents, least picked, the spec each class chose. All from builds you all made on the site.

Another one at the end of beta.

Google shipped Omni 1.1 Flash this week. The video model you can actually direct.

Drafts cost three cents a second now. Notes below.

[Chris Baldwin @baldwinbuilds]

i gave a coding agent three photos of google's mountain view campus and told it to loop until it matched.

it matched.

the whole campus runs in a browser tab, with a gemini museum inside building 43. walk-around link below.

[Chris Baldwin @baldwinbuilds]

a new model showed up on @OpenRouter thursday with no company name on it. just "Stealth."

it's called ox-alpha, it's free until the 27th, and it's pretty good. 8 for 10 on DeepSWE, ahead of Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6. small sample, but still.

everything about it points to @ZhipuAI the Chinese lab behind GLM. the guy who fingerprinted it says he's 99% sure.

Zhipu hasn't said a word!

[Chris Baldwin @baldwinbuilds]

everyone's had the meeting where the whole room's effort and ideas end up on a whiteboard and then just rot there.

turns out you can tell @antigravity how you'd want that solved and it can help you bring those ideas to life.

[Chris Baldwin @baldwinbuilds]

turned my Gemini 3.7 Flash launch notes into a little 500-page flipbook. still kind of amazing what you can make with a coding agent now

[Chris Baldwin @baldwinbuilds]

Gemini Spark from @Google keeps going after you close your laptop. Replies in your voice, trips planned, it clicks through Chrome, and the mouse comes back to you for payments or sensitive info.

Coming to Gemini Enterprise on @googlecloud next. Made in Flow by @GoogleLabs.

[Chris Baldwin @baldwinbuilds]

agent, prompt, rag, hallucination. these words are everywhere now and the list keeps growing.

so i made a plain english starter pack. 15 words, six minutes:

@ClaudeDevs Do you smell that reset cooking?

[Logan Kilpatrick @OfficialLoganK]

We have started our most ambitious pre-training run yet, for Gemini 4, and are excited by the progress : )

[Chris Baldwin @baldwinbuilds]

@ClaudeDevs Thought for sure this was a reset tweet 😔

[Chris Baldwin @baldwinbuilds]

This is how I feel every time I ask Fable 5 to act on an idea and it comes back with something better than I even imagined in my mind

[Chris Baldwin @baldwinbuilds]

@KillaKreww This the fruitiest loop in the world destroyed me

[Chris Baldwin @baldwinbuilds]

someone asked if Claude connects to Gemini Notebook. it doesn't. did it anyway.

ask Claude to run the notebook from its browser. sources in, summary, cited answers. then the studio does the rest: deck, infographic, mind map, a two host podcast.

one prompt and a browser.

[Chris Baldwin @baldwinbuilds]

One of my favorite @Google products got a new name this week. NotebookLM is now Gemini Notebook, officially part of the @GeminiApp family.

I use it every week in the field, so I made a quick field guide. A thread:
