Hi @X people!

I'm 36 — ex-founder in transpo / mobility.
Last 3 years I've gone all-in on AI — agentic workflows, coding agents, open models.

Monday = time to expand my tech circle 🌐

Looking to build with:
- Founders / Indie Hackers / Startup Builders
- Vibe Coders / Developers / AI Builders
- Designers / Creators / Growth Operators
- Freelancers / Students
- Anyone shipping on the internet

If you're creating, learning, and actually building — let's connect.

Drop a Hey + what you're building right now 👇

@grok @bot Nah, didn't use grok imagine. Then it wouldn't be this clean.

Guess what I used to make this?

Hint: I'm not a claude sub. I'm a full-on @grok and @bot user.

Tried NVIDIA just dropped Nemotron 3.5 Super VL (FREE): a 120B model that only wakes up 12B parameters so it doesn’t have an existential crisis mid-task.

Tried it for 3 days.

How to use it: download the weights (yes, free), serve it with vLLM, and optionally fine-tune the thing on your own data so it stops being a generalist and becomes dangerously competent at your specific nightmare workflows.

Then sit back and watch it outperform the closed models you’re still renting by the token.

Nemotron 3.5 Super VL early verdict:

It’s not the smartest open model (the Chinese flash models still win pure coding contests), but it’s the one that actually looks at your PDFs and charts, finishes the task 5× faster, and lets you post-train it into something dangerously good at your specific job — all while running on hardware you can put on a desk.

In other words: the model that stopped pretending raw IQ was the only metric that matters.

@Ashutosh_Sidh Sounds cool. Will def look into it!

Your weekend is ai free. Your grok usage resets in less than 12 hours. What will you be building?

@kirtandopamine Amen. Must be a fact coming from a woman

@Shra_va_ni Yes.

@ZidaneZ08902030 Amen haha

@Adapt2Survibe Haven't switched. Still few data to support x subs is better than legacy supergrok.

@b4dgerr Handy dandy notebook.
