I've found Opus 4.8 and Fable 5 both difficult to learn from purely because of how annoying their writing style is. I'm finding GPT 5.6 Sol to be much better for this.

It stands out to me that this page itself is wonderful to go through (the telling of the product through model generated images).

https://kerns.ai/ - Get answers to questions with citations, visualize papers/books/reports.
Wondering if there are other similar tools out there which people love, and why ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude won't let you do the same in their native apps.

If we use prompt caching - isn't a largish MCP tools section just like a fixed token penalty in return for higher speed at runtime, because tools don't need to be discovered on demand, and that's the better tradeoff? At least for the most powerful models it doesn't feel like their quality goes down much with a few MCP servers. I might be missing something.

This is very interesting — what's an example query and metadata update you've made? Now I'm thinking if I would do this.

This is interesting. Do you mean this is like chat with your book, or these are books you've already finished reading which you have a query over to ask? And does it search raw book text or metadata?

I'm loving summarization of articles using their chatbot! Wow!

Kerns (https://kerns.ai) — a research environment for deeply understanding topics across multiple sources. Upload papers, articles, or books into a workspace that persists across sessions. Read with AI summaries that let you zoom in and out of any document. Generate knowledge maps to visualize how ideas connect. Run deep research agents that produce comprehensive, cited reports. Free to use, would love feedback from anyone doing heavy reading/research.
