I do this in OMP, a fork of Pi. It lets you set different models for different tasks. So with an API that has many different companies models I can set the Plan model to the best one, right now I am using GLM 5.2 for that, it plans really well. I have Vision set to Kimi 2.7 Code (cheaper and vision is just fine). Minimax M3 is set to the Advisor role (double checks work). Deepseek v4 Flash is set for the Task role. And MiMo 2.5 pro is set as default.

With this setup GLM handles planning and managing my AGENTS.md, and orchestrating subagents for tasks from the plan/todo GLM created. The tasks themselves are handed off to Deepseek v4 flash to implement with strong instructions and examples for each agent. Minimax M3 reviews the output as the Advisor and recommends changes, catches bugs, and whatnot, subagents can be re-run with that information.

Overall I am saving a lot using some of these smaller models. But with this setup I am getting great results.

It would be nice to have a sample of the audio quality and voice(s) it uses on the website so we know what it will sound like.

-- Edit:

I installed it, ran it and got the first time wizard, granted permissions and hit continue and it just exits without any other message or screen. It isn't in the menu bar. I run it again and get the same. It says the permissions are granted already the second time though.

I like the interface on the website a lot, so I would love to use this. Thoughts?

Just a prototype? I have no reason to leave the terminal for a GUI IDE. TUI works great, does what I need and is very easy to use and interact with.

On Tahoe my Time Machine was broken after the update. My backup target is on a QNAP NAS. I just had to set it up from scratch again and it worked. But it did cost me a few files I was trying to recover. So I feel this.

The real answer here is that he is mad about people protesting what Israel is doing in Gaza. This $100M donation is being made with funds he had given to UPenn. He has taken it back, via lawyers, because they allowed the protests to go on. He is now just taking that original donation and moving it somewhere else. Not that I am against the Olympians getting paid, just some context.

Deepseek, Qwen, GLM (quite good). All being open and available for local use definitely puts them ahead in that space, which means a lot of the tinkerers and younger people learning to do things like train and fine-tune are getting good with Chinese models and I do think getting in early like that is a great way to gain mindshare in a space. Look at Apple or Microsoft doing everything they could early on to get their machines and software into schools as early as possible.

If you really need a lot of VRAM cheap rocm still supports the amd MI50 and you can get 32gb versions of the MI50 on alibaba/aliexpress for around $150-$250 each. A few people on r/localllama have shown setups with multiple MI50s running with 128gb of VRAM and doing a decent job with large models. Obviously it won't running as fast as any brand new GPUs because of memory bandwidth and a few other things, but more than fast enough to be usable.

This can end up getting you 128gb of VRAM for under $1000.

Multiple articles and interviews have said it was the Sicilian Mafia / La Cosa Nostra.

"The Five Families - the Bonanno, Colombo, Gambino, Genovese and Lucchese - have ruled the city's Italian American mafia since 1931."

"The Five Families are part of the larger American-Sicilian mafia operation known as La Cosa Nostra"

I have, and I still think it's idiotic. I don't do any layout work, ever. And I see no future where I will. I don't need all of that in the software I use to do any photo editing.

I don't understand this thread at all. I think this is the first time I have seen a thread that talks about something requiring a new account be created at some company, and a nonsensical major change to a product (merging the products into one, optional subscriptions) where the majority of people seem to be saying "thats ok and good luck" to the company. Worse, people who are upset this has happened to software they liked are getting downvoted. These three pieces of software are not the same tool and them all being shoehorned into one UI is just idiotic.

It feels like the thread is being astroturfed.

They removed our software that we paid for from the Mac Store, and everyone is just like "thats fine, good move canva". Serif did a great job of keeping their software working through macOS major version updates. It's another reason many of us paid for their software. That's gone, and people are just cheering them on. It's very confusing.
