Definitely agree on the title. Also could have worked as 'Some minor annoyances that, when fixed, would improve OpenCode. Also, I don't like AI"

I use Aikido safe chain, how does this compare? https://www.npmjs.com/package/@aikidosec/safe-chain

I can understand and appreciate the hesitation. I must admit I've simply adjusted to the idea that anywhere that I am, outside of my house, I assume someone is potentially recording or transcribing at a minimum audio.

I'm frankly far more upset by the lack of privacy due to poor security from credit reporting agencies than I am of these notetakers.

Z.ai is based in China and serves out of Singapore, that's surely why.

We need more geese.

Perhaps very good, perhaps very bad, perhaps not possible. Ultimately, I think it still comes down to whatever PEOPLE decide.

I don't mean one person, I mean people, as a species.

There is a newer BLIP-2, but it's also fairly old. You're better off with many other local models such as Moondream 3 https://huggingface.co/moondream/moondream3-preview.

Moondream is great as it can point, count, perform bounding boxes, descriptions, and visual grounded reasoning.

Great work, thank you for doing this. Just so I understand, this isn't yet available yet, right? Still in SEP stage?

Always happy to see a Hitchhikers guide comment.

This website is awesome.

...Not to mention that they're investors in Anthropic.

I use https://github.com/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin/blob... from https://every.to.

Here's a readup on it: https://every.to/guides/compound-engineering

I've noticed some behavior like this, it's a very strange model. Overall I'm into it, but I don't know how into it I'll be once it leaves Max plans on the 22nd.

yes, yes, yes.

I tend to agree, but there's also a lot of tax to build and maintain the different provider abstractions that OpenRouter eliminates.

Everything has a cost of some sort. It's just who you're going to pay and what the currency is.

How are you interacting with GLM 5.1? Via the Claude Code harness? I really wish they'd release a fully multimodal model already.

GPT 5.5 Pro is not available to any plan outside of ChatGPT Pro ($100 or $200) tier or the API as far as consumer access.

Bring back Glitch the game! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glitch_(video_game)

lol, I love that their first example is bringing Slack content into Teams. It's like they've completely forgotten if I have Slack, there's 0 way I'm going to have Teams open if I can avoid it at all.

So this only works for Team/Enterprise accounts? No Pro?

I've been using Codex since before ChatGPT (the OG version) and CC since launch. For me personally - Claude Code with Opus/Sonnet generally has better taste, more personality in interactions, and is more willing to just do the work. Paired with skills, LSPs, linters, and hooks, it works very well. I think of the two like this:

Claude Code with Opus/Sonnet is the L7 senior engineer still gunning for promotion. Hasn't hit burnout, hasn't been ground down by terrible teams yet. Capable and willing to get their hands dirty. Codex (the harness) with GPT-5.4 or 5.3-codex is fantastic but terse. Some of the UX frustrates me. I want a visual task list. That said, Codex as a harness is phenomenal. Think of it as the senior EM / CTO-in-waiting who won't write new code without complaining and nitpicking for hours. But they'll thoroughly tear your code apart and produce a plan you can execute yourself or pass to Claude Code.

Both are great, and so is Factory Droid. Also worth checking out Compound Engineering from Every.to if you haven't.

I guess I can stop being upset about no longer having access to Webpass anymore and being back in the Comcast handcuffs.

Does GLM-5 have multimodality or are they still wanting you to load an MCP for vision support?

I'm getting that trying to load the content at all, text included.

This is one of my favorite features. That's my second favorite, I enjoy reticulating iirc.

Uniform time act of 1966 prevents this being set at the state level outside of remaining forever in standard time.

Until this goes away or a federal bill passes, nothing will change: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Time_Act.

This only allows states to choose to switch or to remain in "standard time", there's not an option to remain in "savings time".

Very exciting, great work to you and the team. Will there be any APIs available for commercial use or open source access?

What's the plan on that front?

Butterfield should bring Glitch back, that's for sure.
