IT'S HERE, WELCOME BACK FABLE 🥹

@neeeel I built kinda the same thing for myself with https://t.co/1vF4EM3s1N just wondering why you require a brew install? It should just be xcodebuild -> upload via http or am I missing something? Great job anyway, I still wish remote debugging in xcode would just work via VPN.

[Florian E. @fl_rn_st]

God damn it @AnthropicAI.. are you trying to compete with @github for the worst uptime award or something?

[Florian E. @fl_rn_st]

It's crazy how good LLMs are at finding performance bottlenecks in mobile apps. Record 20 seconds with Xcode Instruments and let them analyze the output. This shit took me hours before.. 🤯

[Florian E. @fl_rn_st]

I kept hitting the same wall: my agent ships a fix, and I have no way to actually test it on my phone unless I'm at my desk (mostly because Apple gate keeps remote debugging).

So I built https://t.co/m8FomLdWfU 🥷

A signed .ipa/.apk → One curl (skill) → tap-to-install link on your phone. No TestFlight wait, no cable.

Free for everyone for now.

GLM-5.2 feels really good so far at Swift(UI). I'm quite impressed. Amazing job @Zai_org!

[Florian E. @fl_rn_st]

@happyueah Day 2 of beta, once I learned I can use an US AppStore account as I'm living in the EU 😅

[Florian E. @fl_rn_st]

oh wow, I finally got access to the new Siri

[Florian E. @fl_rn_st]

https://t.co/DbtwQSZFUX cooked. I wasn't excited for an open model in quite some time. Lets see how this performs and even more interesting how fast it is.

Introducing GLM-5.2: Frontier Intelligence, Open Weights

- Significant improvements in coding and agentic tasks
- Strong long-horizon capabilities with a 1M context window
- Two levels of reasoning effort: GLM-5.2 (max) pushes the limits, while GLM-5.2 (high) strikes a strong balance between performance and token efficiency
- MIT-licensed open weights
- Same API pricing as GLM-5.1

@mohitmor_ai @Designarena Their own Design Arena benchmark? lol

You can read more about their methodology here: https://t.co/9upLM8s0n2

Usually not one that labs report in their model card.

Please come back Fable. I can't handle Slopus anymore.

[Florian E. @fl_rn_st]

Finally something good is happening at Anthropic

[Florian E. @fl_rn_st]

I kept asking myself why I came back to building apps after stepping away for a while.

The craft pulled me back. The code, the pixels, the tiny details that make someone smile.

This is a CRAZY price tag. A $5 Hetzner VPS would run this without breaking a sweat.

- VPS from Hetzner + Docker (maybe something like dokploy or coolify for automated deployments)
- Cloudflare Tunnels for reverse proxy + SSL
- Tailscale for SSH (I'd block all open ports on the VPS)

Also fuck MongoDB, ask Claude to move your application to pg.

@seanallen_dev I just really dislike horizontal scrolling my code I guess 😅

[Florian E. @fl_rn_st]

@Kalshi I think you set the wrong date for your scheduled post.
