I'm working on Pawvis, visual hand-tracking mouse & voice control that's open-source and fully local on your Mac (with optional handoff to Codex or Claude Code for complex computer…

Built a tool to let you control your Mac cursor including click, right click, and scroll with your hands a la Minority Report. Beta voice commands also involve control via voice, i…

Been using this and it’s really a phenomenal model, big step up in quality and capability. This feels like the serious inflection point for high quality full length feature film pr…

That's fair and I agree with this framing.

I'm not suggesting that fine-tuned models don't have their place, all I'm saying is that the constant drumbeat of "cheap model X beats more expensive model Z" completely misses tha…

Ahh that makes sense, I was under the impression that OS dictation used exclusively on device models for dictation now but you're right - they do still send this data for transcrip…

This continuous cycle of fine-tuned open models beating frontier on (often vaguely labeled/defined) benchmarks doesn't provide an accurate comparison to the expanding generalized c…

I don't think get it unless I'm missing something - how is this different from just using the built in Mac OS dictation feature? At first I thought it was going to be a CLI/package…

An explorable Manhattan built from real map & transit data. Ride any subway, bus, or bike along its true routes & stops, or take helicopter mode and fly above the city to explore. …

This is super fun! Could be neat to add keyboard controls for auto routing (i.e. select plane number n and auto route it to strip x or have it fly a go-around to wait). Would also …

My impression was that they made this editor with Fable, and its JSON project structure would only serve well for manipulation by lesser models.

Cool concept, will try it out! I've had decent results with computer use operating conventional editing tools, but being able to directly edit JSON project files is a solid optimiz…

For sure, I appreciate your comment - this is a tough crowd, but it's their loss.

That's fair, I do agree that you don't need a harness or ultra-high thinking mode for many problems. Many folks evaluate without those things on a task that would benefit from them…

Never said I was bad at math, but I am aware of the fact that computers can do math better and faster than me - and with our powers combined...

This was pretty cool, knocking out a problem that the best minds in maths couldn't for 80 years: https://openai.com/index/model-disproves-discrete-geometry-c... Also this is a rema…

Offline models are becoming increasingly more capable - merely a few years ago it would've been unthinkable to run the LLM I have on my phone even on my MacBook Pro. Are you sugges…

It shouldn't be a surprise that the baseline for "best" shifts as better tech comes out, but that doesn't make dated models any less capable than they were when they came out. Skep…

That's exactly what the people in my orbit and whom I'm watching are doing, and some of their outputs are fueling the excitement. If you aren't seeing remarkable things being done …

Qwen is a lightweight locally hosted model that's many months behind the SoTA available from the big three - while the crowd here (myself included) is excited for locally hosted mo…

This sounds like you may be using subpar models and/or tools - have you had this experience using Codex with GPT-5.5 on at least "high" reasoning or on Claude Code using Opus 4.8 (…

Totally agree that the lack of a common base of evaluation is terrible for the discussion, and benchmaxing only contributes to this. The only way to get a sense for these systems i…
