The thing people miss with local AI is that it doesn't need to replace your $200/mo frontier inference plans to be viable. There are tons of little automations that are super viable with small, open-weight models. The hard part is finding them.

😎 overalls.dev now supports pausing/resuming firecracker machines. here's how it works: if the machine is 'pinned' it shows up on the top of your dashboard and is prevented from being deleted for suspended. if the machine is created via /threads (ie. orb workflow) then the machine is automatically suspended after 4 hours of inacitivity from tool call. a new prompt/toolcall will unpause a machine. if a network request (ie. vscode web, ssh or shared webapp) arrives it and the machine is paused then it will automatically unpause/resume. if there is no capacity on the lilly node (the bare metal machine) then it will >automatically relocate the machine< to another lilly node with capacity machines can now be cloned (ie. forked) with their live memory state instead of being turned off (loss of memory state). of course you can pause/suspend/clone directly via ssh all of the above rules hold true even if the machine needs to be relocated to another lilly node with capacity. tldr; cpu/memory is expensive right now and now resource mgmt is built in as a platform primitive that you can self-host on your own infra 😎

My current model rankings S - Opus 5.5, Muse Wonder A - GPT-6.1 Sol — Gap — Everything else

Introducing Muse Wonder, our new family of frontier models with state of the art performance for personal and professional agentic work.

OK being able to stick an entire runtime and agent development environment in a V8 isolate is dope. @elixirlang folks if TypeScript (or any language) is to "win" in the AI era, it'll be because of stuff like this. Legit think we might need an otp-rs... piped.video/ND_kRgU_WlY

Announcing tsc-rs (aka ts-rust), my complete rewrite of the Typescript compiler, type checker, and LSP, all in Rust. This is a project I've had agents working on for 5 months now. I burned ~$400k of Codex tokens and got nowhere. Burned ~$20k of Opus and got there in 2 weeks. I have not read a single line of the code. tsc-rs is an open source drop-in replacement for tsc, and it's available now.

this is the most beautiful thing i've seen, EVER thank you so much Josie

Pickles came out bad Dill issue

We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model. We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results. github.com/openai/math

Alpha increasingly comes from one's ability to break out of boring gradient descent and find novel local minima. Wacky ideas are the new moat.

Instinct is the only one with a real shot IMO because they're leaning HARD into making it feel like texting a person, and also focusing on consumerism for their monetization strategy. Methinks the "ooh I want that" -> "here's a link" flow is gonna hit for a lot of people.

It's one of those things where we don't know the utility of until we unlock the capabilities. NASA developed sophisticated computer algorithms to enhance pictures of the moon and then someone realized that they could be applied to the human body. And boom, MRI machines.
