10 days left to escape the permanent underclass

Feeling good about my physical progress... Though WTF, the report says the "optimal" weight for me is 151lbs, I would be a stick 🤣

[Forrest MacDougall @FNMacDougall]

@NVIDIAAI I wish... Can you help my development out with a gift of a DGX Spark? Thanks, @NVIDIAAI

[Forrest MacDougall @FNMacDougall]

@AlyaBlt_ @1iesha_ In my case, I start the day with a protein shake and my first dose of many vitamins (over 60 pills for the day).

@sneha___03 Don't bother, just throw it in the trash bin 🗑️

@md_kasif_uddin Trick question: The answer is @MiniMax_AI

[Forrest MacDougall @FNMacDougall]

@AlyaBlt_ They have @MistralAI

At 10 years old I signed up for Hushmail. Encrypted email. For a fourth grader. I had no secrets. I just liked feeling like I was in a spy movie.

@Venkydotdev I think many hope it can finally have better output on UI design. I often have to go to other models for UI purposes...

You skipped over Minimax M3 for your videos, was looking forward to your tests! @bijanbowen

Truly living in the future... I just set up an agent with real $$$ to trade on Robinhood using Opus 4.8 via Claude Cowork. I only deposited a small test amount of funds, will see how my trading strategy performs first!

[Forrest MacDougall @FNMacDougall]

Currently testing @MiniMax_AI M3 (newest model) with a one-shot game prompt... Also using the same prompt with Opus 4.8 to see comparative results! Game is a Halo 3 inspired FPS, single file HTML using Three.js

[Forrest MacDougall @FNMacDougall]

Time to test...

MiniMax M3 will be launching soon

You can try it right now in OpenCode

For free

Hot take: we're ~6 months from nobody caring which model they use, the same way nobody cares which engine is in their Uber.

The model isn't the moat anymore, the tooling is. Codex shipping a desktop app with a built-in browser that merges coding and knowledge work? That moves the needle. A 0.1 version bump doesn't.

I also think local models catch up to cloud "close enough" sooner than the consensus expects. When that happens the model is truly interchangeable.

Codex is my favorite harness right now, and I don't see that changing... For now 😏

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors.

Available today at the same price.
