@dylthorn @zmatheny Hhm, my customers seem to like the C9 size.

[Brandon Calloway | The AI Contractor @Corp2BlueCollar]

@uzairansar Would have said yes but after the latest release haven’t had webui errors.

[Brandon Calloway | The AI Contractor @Corp2BlueCollar]

@zmatheny @dylthorn Year two C9 guy here, please share why C7s might be better before I re up.

@danielcronauer Smart light bulbs have done wonders in my house. Set it on a schedule to turn off after you’ll leave for work and at night. No more arguments.

[Brandon Calloway | The AI Contractor @Corp2BlueCollar]

@dylthorn @joebenson No slop seen. It’s crazy enough to work imo

[Brandon Calloway | The AI Contractor @Corp2BlueCollar]

@daironprz @dylthorn @HammerTimeSales That’s a healthy margin. Going to buy some and install on my house if the wife says it’s ok.

[Brandon Calloway | The AI Contractor @Corp2BlueCollar]

@dylthorn @daironprz @HammerTimeSales Then who is buying these $12/foot (at cost) permanent ‘commercial’ lights with a hands on workshop several times a year? Geez. Has to be no body.

@shakafever @BoringBiz_ 100% no one must have watched the video, dario starts flapping around

@PeasantSmith GLM 5.3 Flash has sprinkles of humans. Enjoyable to read.

[Brandon Calloway | The AI Contractor @Corp2BlueCollar]

@NousResearch Anyone in blue collar ai want to meetup here?

[Brandon Calloway | The AI Contractor @Corp2BlueCollar]

@daironprz @dylthorn @HammerTimeSales Wow okay. That makes sense. We’re charging $12/foot for C9 LEDs along the roof line and it costs maybe $2/foot. What the cost and selling price of the Govee’s?

[Brandon Calloway | The AI Contractor @Corp2BlueCollar]

@dylthorn @HammerTimeSales Is Silicon Valley Lights the guy @dylthorn

[Brandon Calloway | The AI Contractor @Corp2BlueCollar]

@HammerTimeSales @dylthorn Please DM me next time the guy you mentioned comes across your timeline.

[Brandon Calloway | The AI Contractor @Corp2BlueCollar]

@HammerTimeSales @dylthorn Haha. A lot of the houses even in $1M+ neighborhoods have these around me in Philly suburbs. Just doesn’t make sense but it’s what people want.

[Brandon Calloway | The AI Contractor @Corp2BlueCollar]

@coachseeel We have a similar story @coachseeel wishing you the best.

[Brandon Calloway | The AI Contractor @Corp2BlueCollar]

@dylthorn Anyone reading this install Govee outdoor lights professionally and have a good experience?

[Brandon Calloway | The AI Contractor @Corp2BlueCollar]

@HammerTimeSales @dylthorn The demand is there for sure but keep hearing they are bad. What’s your experience been?

[Brandon Calloway | The AI Contractor @Corp2BlueCollar]

@dylthorn Yep, this is the way. Nothing better than talking to an LLM about planning routes based on what jobs are high (some guys won’t get on a second story roof) vs ground work like bushes and tree trunks.

@dylthorn @ibbysmb This is one of the reasons all the IT guys swear by OpenSource models. They don’t have all the BS guardrails baked in. The trick is to use an OpenSource harness so you can switch models and not be locked ChatGPT or Claude.

@iAjittiwari Just setup Opus in Hermes. Been using DSV4.1 flash and GLM 5.3 Flash with Astra for hard jobs. I’m remoting into a Mac Mini M4 16GB and thinking about moving to the Cloud.

[Brandon Calloway | The AI Contractor @Corp2BlueCollar]

Been following this guy doing the ship test for a while and nothing has come close to Opus 5.5 skills. It blows Sol 6 out of the water…that’s pirate talk.
