z.ai raised their prices by like 200%. happy to have a legacy account... i guess they realized they are actually have an amazing offering and can charge for it.

gemma 4 26B has good enough vision to figure out bounding boxes and positions, probably good enough for mouse control.

i think it's generally useful to completely ignore any talk about "AI" unless you have a really good reason to trust the source. an hour of playing with a frontier model will tell you a lot more than reading 30 editorials about how LLMs are / are not AI and will / will not destroy all jobs and will / will not lead to incredible wealth for everyone.

happy friday

the *claw type bots usually come with some 'skill store', but I don't understand why anyone would use those. to sensibly run the bots, you need a really smart model (opus, chatgpt, GLM-5, Kimi), and those can already just write whatever you need.
