Meet Sigma!

Sigma is a Go package for provider-neutral AI model calls, which is a polite way of saying I was tired of rewriting the same provider glue every fortnight because someone shipped a new model and decided streaming should work slightly differently this time. So I wrote it once, properly, and never again.

It does the boring but important stuff. Model metadata, text streaming, completions, tools, request persistence and custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints, all behind one tidy API. Register a provider, register a model, call the client, get back a clean stream of events. No drama.

Best bit? It has zero third-party dependencies. None. The whole thing runs on the Go standard library, which means it is small, easy to audit, fast to build, and it will not quietly drag forty packages and a security advisory into your project at two in the morning. There is even a test harness that makes no network calls, so your CI can stop pretending it has a credit card.

MIT licensed. v0.2.0 is up. Text is stable today, images and a few more providers are in preview while I stop procrastinating and go and finish them.

@xai - When you said usage reset you really meant recalculation of usage. Hey, it's better than nothing and I am loving how fast improvements are being made, keep it up!

Really enjoying using the new Grok Build. Quality of the Go code being written is good and on par with other frontier models. My only gripe would be the amount of usage seems significantly lower than Claude or Codex. One day of interactive development consumed 47% when the same on Claude would have been ~20% and Codex ~10% for the weeks available usage. I would love to see Grok match their biggest competitors.

@spf13 100% in agreement. So frustrating.

[..]including what the acronym GNU stands for: GNU is Not Unix.

"The G part stands for GNU?" Alsup asked in disbelief.

"Yes," said Schwartz on the stand.

"That doesn't make any sense," said the 71-year-old Clinton appointee. https://t.co/QsFz7YiJ3O

Unbelievable HSBC would be allowed to do this without any form of due diligence. UK regulators need to investigate this. https://t.co/Y2eCPtAcX2
