Why would you use Codex for code reviews but not as your daily driver?

Thank you for your efforts!

This is very useful! I think the interfaces around models being used in an async manner will look very different than the synchronous chat UIs we are today. Claude Code is the first real “agent” that is providing true economic value, and there’s so much low hanging fruit in making the interfaces far better.

I have a few private “vibe check” questions and the 4 bit QAT 27B model got them all correctly. I’m kind of shocked at the information density locked in just 13 GB of weights. If anyone at Deepmind is reading this — Gemma 3 27B is the single most impressive open source model I have ever used. Well done!

I agree, I instantly recognized signature ChatGPT-isms. Once I realized it wasn’t written by a person, I stopped reading.

Wow! I'd love to read a more in-depth blog post describing how to create one of these myself, and maybe even contribute my own splats to a collaborative library for iconic landmarks. I could see interactive splats being added to Wikipedia for popular locations.

This is great! I wonder how hard it would be to use a pen plotter instead of a thermal printer. You could even use a procedurally generated handwriting font and Claude to make it feel like a handwritten letter.

Agreed. I keep my iPhone in my right pocket and my Ricoh GRIIIx in my left pocket whenever I go out. It’s such a fantastic camera given its size, especially with the APSC sensor in such a compact body.

I also have a Sony A7C but I haven’t used it since getting the Ricoh. Being pocketable is a massive factor in how much I use a camera.

This is awesome! Could you share more details on how you’re storing the image embeddings and performing the KNN search? Is there an on-device vector database for iOS?

Last month Lexica served a little over 1 billion images and the Cloudflare bill (I'm using R2 + workers) was a little over $5k. I've since gotten it down to a more reasonable amount after spending some time to re-encode the images to reduce our bandwidth usage significantly. If Lexica were running on AWS/S3 I imagine our first month's bill would be closer to $100k rather than $5k. This is only image serving, so not including costs to run the beefy CPU servers to run CLIP search, frontend, DB, backend, etc.
