If these models will happily recite AGPL 3.0 code as “clean room implementations”, I’m glad that they will also help hobbyists experiment with software. Seems like a fair trade

Ah, they are shutting it down on the agent platform, but the API will still work. That makes sense.

Protonmail has worked great for me. Never had any issues and I like the inclusion of docs + sheets (even though their apps are ridiculously slow to load)

Thanks, that is news to me. I've been hearing about WebGPU for years now so I was surprised that it is still disabled by default.

Yup, figured out how to enable and it works well now.

Is it obvious to rust developers that "!" would be the never type? I frequently use "never" in typescript. I could imagine using the never type frequently in rust too. I feel like a longer more human-understandable name would've been a good decision here. (feels like more rust jargon that makes the language harder to learn)

On linux (tried FF and chromium), the live demo renders all the text as black (no highlighting). On iOS (my phone), this works great. No errors in the console (maybe it fails silently?)

Is this a linux issue / support issue?

Unserious comment: The big company will spin up swarms of agents whose job is to overwhelm your AI agents with legal requests / correspondence, still with the goal of making you run out of money (but now via AI spend).

Cool, so then that invalidates the ASIC problem, right?

My earlier idea was to imagine that each day Anubis picks an entirely different problem-class. Ex: one day it is Sha256, the next it is prime factorization, the next it is twin-prime-finding, the next it is cracking elliptic curves, the next it is some kind of sorting / information theory problem...

All with the goal of adapting constantly so that scrapers have a harder time optimizing for the PoW problem (i.e. with Sha256 ASICs)

I am out of the loop. Why are LLMs seen as fascist technology?

(I see arguments against “Open”AI / Anthropic but what about companies like Mistral?)

Some of the asymmetry might be regained if anubis had thousands of variations of PoW algorithms, each different enough that they must be solved independently.

I wonder if AI might be able to come up with new PoW algorithms in a nightly CI job so every day is a different puzzle...

I like the ability to introspect the system. I have a lua LSP, when I edit lua config files, I know all of the fields of the config I am editing, and I know how they behave (without randomly trying things)

It is surprising that they went this route instead of the Claude-code route. The cloud agents are significantly more limiting.

Have you considered open sourcing the SDK generator as part of the shutdown of stainless services?
