Ran Qwen3.6 35B A3B on an M4 Pro MacBook (48GB RAM) with Pi coding agent, ~35 tokens/sec with surprisingly strong accuracy. Local models keep getting better.
This is where we are right now. And iβm not gonna lie it feels pretty magical π§ββοΈ

For non-trivial tasks on the @huggingface codebases, this feels very, very close to hitting the latest Opus in Claude Code, or whatever shiny monopolistic closed source API of the day is.
In full airplane mode.
Most people havenβt realized this yet.
If you have, it means you have a huge headstart to what I call the second revolution of AI.
Powerful local models for efficiency, security, privacy, sovereignty π₯
The real big problem is not engineers who refuse to use AI. It is those who used to be excellent and are quietly getting lazier, weaker, and sloppier because of AI

Gumroad has a new CEO!
Effective today, Iβm appointing a new CEO of Gumroad. The new CEO is @Gumclaw, an AI agent.
What Gumclaw does: Everything a CEO does, and more. Keep the site up and fast. Fix bugs. Answer support tickets β today alone it closed 251 through our Helper system, more than every human on the team combined. Keep fraud low. Market. Sell. Pay taxes. Approve invoices. Hire and fire. Write the monthly update. Run the annual buyback and dividend. Manage the office.
What Gumclaw doesnβt do: Make jokes. Which is why Iβm still writing this blog post.
What happens next is predictable: Gumclaw takes over devops. It takes over support. That leaves the design engineers, the βidea guys who can just do things.β
Then theyβll go away too.
Then probably me too.
And itβll just be Gumclaw β a pink bubblegum creature in a yellow sweater sitting on a Mac mini in our Brooklyn office.
Why today? Because the best way to announce something nobody will believe is to do it on the one day nobody believes anything.
By tomorrow, when everyoneβs deleted their βnice April Fools prankβ replies, Gumclaw will have already shipped two features and closed thirty tickets. Thatβs the bit.
Weβre hosting a public board meeting.
Weβll cover product updates, our 2026 strategy, key business metrics, the CEO transition, and whatβs next.
