Their free tier for stuff like Workers and D1 is quite generous.

The only additional note I'd have to add is Tomlin was one of the NFL's rare "CEO" coaches - he doesn't call plays for either side of the ball, so he probably is ever so slightly less busy than a head coach who happens to do so.

the codex desktop app bundles libreoffice's libraries. i wouldn't be surprised if claude does something similar.

the salary weighted lottery today is a good step in the right direction IMO.

It's the perfect model for open-source work because it's gonna end up in the training data anyway

I think it's overbloating my computer

It's a habit in specific countries, China is one in my experience.

Cursor was 60B. The 10B number was the breakup fee if the deal fell through.

16 tokens / s is not nothing.

Apple isn't counting on their model to be a frontier coding and cowork model. Gemini is perfectly fine for the tasks that new Siri is supposed to be doing.

The avg coding session has hundreds or thousands of tool calls. Even a 5% failure rate noticeably notches up token use and cost. See Gemini.

Doubt. Tried it, Grok 4.5 is leaps and bounds ahead of Gemini for real work.

And token costs vs. raw compute+electric cost is unit profitable too.

While I mostly agree with your post, I do want to point out one thing:

> Or he could release a model trained largely by existing open weights models. Which without some huge breakthrough probably has no chance of surpassing them, so is pointless.

This seems to be categorically untrue. Composer 2.5 is a substantial improvement on its underlying Kimi base model.

same happened to Opus 4.7
