A post of ours on vendor lock in and LLMs. We don't like the growing trend of AI companies quietly hiding your data while stripping away your control. We think that's bad for users and bad for the ecosystem. Here's are our thoughts: https://t.co/pM4fBX0Z1T

@yminsky Sounds like an interesting product idea 💡

@HarryStebbings Fluid voice is a better alternative https://t.co/FADVeVRtsD

@badlogicgames Mario is my favorite content discovery engine

We've recently made Pi's cache behavior more visible. This site has been debating whether agent harnesses are helping or quietly torching their caches. That seemed like a good excuse to explain how KV caches actually work and how Pi helps (or doesn't). https://t.co/fXwUFHLAD6

used a trick @jlongster came up with

agents can control browsers but you can also ask it to record network requests into a HAR file

then it can derive a client for any website which is more efficient than browser controlling it every time

made it build a quick uber eats cli

Open weights matter less when the surrounding reasoning state remains tied to a specific harness.

Kimi K3 may be an early sign of a future where models are technically open, but practically difficult to move between tools.

Other model providers could follow the same path.

[Arena.ai @arena]

Big news: Kimi-K3 by @Kimi_Moonshot is now #1 in the Frontend Code Arena with 1679 pts, surpassing Claude Fable 5.

This is a 17-place jump from Kimi-k2.6 (#18 -> #1).

In Frontend, Kimi-K3 ranked #1 in 6 of 7 domains: Brand & Marketing, Reference-Based Design, Data & Analytics, Consumer Product, Simulations, and Content Creation Tools, landing #2 only in Gaming behind Fable 5.

The full model weights will be released by July 27.

Congrats to the @Kimi_Moonshot team on this major milestone!

Conversation with an engineer friend:

> me: open source models are so good
> him: yeah glm5.2 is great
> me: do you use them
> him: no - do you
> me: no

[Raghavan @itsrag]

@nutlope Great idea, hope I can use more open weight models.

That is the equivalent of modern day patent

“ironic that the status quo is to then turn around and impose restrictive terms on distillation”

@jamesacowling Understanding 💯

@mitchellh May be a meta-harness like Omniagent could be useful, wonder what you think about meta-harness

121 years of Albert Einstein's Annus Mirabilis ⚛️

[Black Hole @konstructivizm]

On This Day in 1905: Einstein Ignites a Revolution Exactly 121 years ago — on June 30, 1905 — a 26-year-old Albert Einstein walked into the post office in Bern, Switzerland, and mailed what would become one of the most important scientific papers in history.Its modest title: “Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper” (“On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies”).What it delivered was nothing less than a complete rewriting of our understanding of space and time.This groundbreaking work introduced the Special Theory of Relativity. With just two simple but revolutionary postulates — that the laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion, and that the speed of light is constant no matter how fast you’re moving — Einstein shattered centuries of Newtonian intuition.From those principles flowed astonishing consequences: Time slows down for objects moving near the speed of light
Lengths contract in the direction of motion
Simultaneity itself is relative — two events that appear simultaneous to one observer may not be to another

This was the third of Einstein’s four legendary papers of his Annus Mirabilis (“Miracle Year”) in 1905. Each one was brilliant. This one changed physics https://t.co/ZgzRLAcCHW Fact: The paper contained zero citations and no bibliography. Einstein simply presented his breathtaking logic with almost no references to prior work — a bold move that still amazes historians today. The original manuscript ran about 30 pages and read more like a philosophical revelation than a typical physics article.The paper was officially published on September 26, 1905, in Annalen der Physik. Its ideas would later help give us GPS technology, nuclear power, and our modern understanding of the cosmos.A quiet clerk in a Swiss patent office had just quietly dismantled and rebuilt the foundations of reality.

Claude Opus 4.6 provides a one million token context window at standard pricing. That is roughly 750,000 words, enough to hold an entire mid sized codebase in a single prompt.

Kimi K2 Black Friday was wild. I figured out a fun little creativity hack to crack the deal open and it dropped the price like magic.

How to activate kimi k2 blackfriday bargain mode ?
