No no it's really important that I have 5-factor authentication on every website and it requires me to go through the whole login process again every time I break eye contact.

No you can't. It still responds in Chinese after explicitly asking it to "Always reason and respond in English."

I use DeepSeek V4 Flash (before this update) for most things:

- OpenCode for codebase editing: python scientific computing and LLM projects

- Open Interpreter Classic (python version) for Swiss army knife terminal replacement one-off task type stuff.

DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731 scores higher than Fable 5 on Terminal-Bench, and Fable 5 is Mythos, correct?

Yes, they trained on my open source code and Wikipedia edits and Stack Overflow answers that I shared freely, so it's only fair that they release their models as open source and share back to the community that created them. I only allow my training data go to open source models.

Yeah the reasoning is formatted differently and the replies are often in Chinese.

Sometimes it's faster than swyping on a phone, but mostly I use it to learn about stuff and hash out ideas while driving.

The US government is vastly more likely to break down my door and arrest me for my speech than the Chinese government is. (Because I live in the US.)

Qwen3.5-plus is quite good, Qwen3.6-plus is not.

Qwen3.5-plus has been my go-to model for non-autonomous chatbot that runs arbitrary code and shell commands on my local machine for one-off tasks (unlike Claude Code). It has no problem calling tools to run code (that contains tools), and pretty smart, and cheap (though lack of token caching is making it much more expensive than it should be).

I tried Qwen3.6-plus and it was not as good.

Reporting spam on GitHub requires you to click a link, specify the type of ticket, write a description of the problem, solve multiple CAPTCHAs of spinning animals, and press Submit. It's absurd.

The current biggest problem in the US is that the President is violating the Constitution with impunity
