Thanks for your reply. Will look into Jules [0] [1].

Are you using Antigravity IDE v2.5.5 that hasn't been updated since 2026-08-13 and that supports 3 legacy models + Gemini Flash 3.8? I assume you're using Gemini Flash 3.8?

> using another unaligned model to rewrite reasoning and then feeding it back into the model

Indeed, would be interested to understand how you do that. And where do you run the model? On a local or a rented system and what are the specs?

Selfhosted or one of the listed? If external/hosted, which one did you use?

No Face ID, still Touch ID. Are they serious?

I was considering buying one, but will skip until the older model becomes unsupported or when Apple adds Face ID.

Congrats with your product, hope it works out well. Nice competitor analysis & (future) features list at https://github.com/KrushnaVardhanReddy/PaperPilot/blob/main/..., IMHO easier to read than your above list.

Question: seemingly you’re using Antigravity, an harness not many use. Please tell use about the choice of LLM and your experience with it.

Netflix works fine with the device directly connected to the TV. With a long hdmi-cable (5m+) + an usbc-to-hdmi converter you can keep de phone/pad in your hands. Using a short (≤2m) hdmi-usbc cable you probably need to put the device next to the TV. I bring either when traveling to watch TV in hotels rooms.

CloudNativePG supports Kubernetes Local Storage as one of its main features [0]

  Persistent volume management, including:
    Support for Local Persistent Volumes with PVC templates.
    Reuse of Persistent Volumes storage in Pods.
    Separate volumes for WAL files and tablespaces.

Chapter Temporary PostgreSQL Cluster Degradation [1] describes how to set it up and starts with this

> While the standard approach ensures service reliability and leverages Kubernetes' self-healing capabilities, there are scenarios where operating with a temporarily degraded cluster may be acceptable. This is particularly relevant for PostgreSQL clusters relying on node-local storage, where the storage is local to the Kubernetes worker node running the PostgreSQL database. Node-local storage, or simply local storage, is employed to enhance performance.

Too late to edit, now including AA-omni Score [0] and 'by Domain' Software Engineering [1]. Also added comparison to the eyeballs-median of the 'top 10' models and then you see that indeed Mistral Large 4 Preview scores miserable in the AA-Omni indices.

Then this is something for you https://shop.digitalcourage.de/themen/ak-vorrat/lichtbildaus.... Either get it online, or buy at events like Chaos Computer Congress.

And normal people who can not apply for access to daybreak, should we use Abliterated GLM-5.3 ? [0] [1] [2]

do you mean?

  accept-edits

also available with shift-tab in agy cli [0]. That is not related to executing commands, only to allowing agy edit files. Unless you set Turbo-mode == yolo-mode, agy gui prompts a zillion times too.

With 'some features added' I'm referencing this but don't see change in daily work (still many prompts making getting-work-done impossible): v2.14.0 (September 15, 2026) "New Permissions System" [1]

Details: Introduced the new unified permissions system, presets (Default, Request Review, Turbo), syntax-highlighted permission requests, and restructured the settings under Global Permissions and project-level Inherit Global.

agy cli does not have auto mode. I've tried and tried and tried to work with agy cli sandbox-mode and just failed.

  agy --dangerously-skip-permissions

in my experience is the only workable solution that doesn't ask confirmation for every step. And I hate working in YOLO mode. Seemingly the Antigravity GUI had some features added in a recent release, but a) I don't want to work with the GUI and b) it was poorly implemented as I couldn't get it to work. VS Code plugins are allowed with subscriptions, but is not the CLI experience of Claude Code I want.

gemini-cli supported 'pre-write diff tabs' (y/n) in external editors like vscode. In Claude Code I heavily use 'pre-write diff tabs' for documentation and miss it sincerely in agy cli.

IMHO Gemini 3.8 flash is fast and good enough, but the agy-suite is below par to say it nice. Someone else in this thread calls agy a terrible harness which is probably more accurate.
