@a_shimanski Spending time with kids 😅

@rough__sea Of course

But do you save tokens with tabs?

[Will Chen @wwwillchen]

@mikeysee @convex @OpenAI Can you run it with multiple reasoning levels?

[Will Chen @wwwillchen]

@yongfook It's the AI version of building a framework

[Will Chen @wwwillchen]

@steipete What reasoning level do you use?

[Will Chen @wwwillchen]

@gaetano_nyc Same with saas companies

[Will Chen @wwwillchen]

@levelsio It's ai-induced procrastination

[Will Chen @wwwillchen]

Astra is extremely impressive from my limited time. On low reasoning it crushed my internal benchmark.

I think I need a harder benchmark now

[Will Chen @wwwillchen]

@dexhorthy Will you run it on different reasoning levels? Ran Astra on some internal coding benchmarks and low scored surprisingly a bit higher than medium! But much cheaper like 2x

@iannuttall @ahrefs You can't top up credits? 🤔

Going to make one of the most important changes to @dyad_sh soon...

@danielkbuilds @starter_story Is it AdSense?

@BrianEDean How did you build up your newsletter?

[Will Chen @wwwillchen]

@JackEllis Nobody does.

I think anthropic just wanted to see the upper limit of what people would pay for... And overshot it

[Will Chen @wwwillchen]

@mynameisdesmond When should you raise money?

[Will Chen @wwwillchen]

@steipete awesome job with onboarding for OpenClaw. Just setup two gateways, my phone and MacBook.

I tried setting up OpenClaw a while ago and never finished onboarding. Not sure what you all did but it's so much easier now!

Had a lot of fun doing this @nocodemba!

@youravgtechbro Yeah I agree. Still remember getting the first customer like yesterday! Hitting the bigger milestones (maybe financially more meaningful) aren't as memorable 🤷
