I honestly wonder how long this calliope can keep playing before it crashes to the ground.
(I have no business relationship to anything mentioned here except as a regular retail customer who went bargain-hunting)

Can you help me understand how it is hard to get an API key from Google? You just head on over to http://aistudio.google.com/api-keys and create a key... not any different from platform.openai.com? Disclaimer: I work in Google so it might be that this link is not publicly well known
Disclaimer that I haven't tried this since January, so things may have changed in the last 7mo, but this was my experience at that time: https://x.com/pwnies/status/2010523020629274723 At a high level though, as a rule of thumb Google assumes that they're serving companies at Google scale first, and at a human scale second. For other companies it's the opposite. Generally what that means is the first experience you g…
Here's a image->html test. Gemini has always swung above its weight class for vision work, so I'm always eager to try it with this. Original images: https://image.non.io/neonRamenDesigns.webp Gemini 3.7 build: https://html.non.io/neonRamenGemini3.7 Opus 5 build for comparison: https://html.non.io/neonRamen Opus is still best in class for this, but it's worth noting how well Gemini 3.7 does vs a more comparable LLM pr…
There is some irony being a developer and reading along the lines of: "oh look at the comparison between these models executing a task for a few cents on a job i'd be charging 1k minimum"

> they're serving companies at Google scale first I think that's actually a very interesting insight that would be helpful for PMs on GCloud to take note of. As a single founder, setting up Google Cloud, it's like they start out by assuming you're bigco, forcing (I assume most) of their users into a arduous process of removing components they don't need. Google AI Studio is one of Google's solutions to this problem,…
Have you tried the new DeepSeek Pro v4, Qwen 3.8, Gemini 3.7 Flash, and Grok 4.6? Do they make sense for any use cases? I'm currently using omp with Kimi K3 as the planner and DeepSeek v4 Flash 0731 as the implementer, or CC + Fable for planning and Opus 4.8 for implementation. For API(not coding), I just use DeepSeek v4 flash 0731 and MiMo. I'm pretty happy where I am, but I'm wondering if these new models provide s…
Later you can make decision to drop low performing ones.
The "introductory pricing" for this 3.7 Flash model is really weird. It's scheduled to double in price on December 31, 2026, but who would anticipate still using this model five months from now? Especially since 3.6 Flash came out just three weeks ago!

Google has got the IBM disease. Large lumbering enterprise with massive inertia. Where innovators leave as soon as they get a better offer. None of the authors of the seminal "Attention Is All You Need" paper are still at Google. Fast forward a decade and Google will be reduced to hiring the kind of mediocrities who deign to work at IBM and Accenture.

For what it's worth, I use Brave and it didn't render properly in a normal tab, but rendered correctly on a private tab! Underlying engine is Chromium anyway, so make of that what you will.
Or maybe one of your installed extensions modifying the page (presumably private tabs disable those)?
