    I mean, it's a spectrum, surely... What about stock photography, IMO as much as I personally hate "overcooked" AI-generated imagery, it doesn't annoy me that much more than stock p…

    I mean, the VFX part of the Film industry (and actual location shooting to some degree) has been chasing subsidies / tax credits since around 2002 with the Harry Potter movies that…

    Hit detection doesn't seem to be always getting the nearest surface to the camera: if there's a folded-over corner in front of the main surface, it almost always seems to move the …

    Out of interest, are you using the DeepSeek plan? (I've been using it via OpenRouter and it's much more than that, but still cheap).

    Cheaper - not cheap! Morph occasionally have lower prices than the standard rates, and: https://telnyx.com/pricing/inference-api Is one which is a bit cheaper... I haven't actually…

    I wish!! No, I'm using it via OpenRouter in pi.dev - I just used it 30 mins ago... Providers (automatically selected): StreamLake and Baidu Qianfan.

    It's cheaper currently on many of the inference providers. Personally, I'm having surprisingly good results with DeepSeek 4 Pro at home, which is very good value for money: it's no…

    I'm curious about this too, and it's difficult to get any information about this given everyone has different setups, workflows and use-cases. I bizarrely had Opus 4.8 this week (i…
