I have $10 and it resets every month; family plan.

Fully agree. The API via search and extract MCP works really well.

I noticed that my API quota resets every month. Have not been charged once.

This leaves a lot of questions. Why are they raising the age limit? What legislation demands this? Will other services follow? And what if parents give consent? Are users on a family plan now forced to kick off their kids from the joined plan?

Looks like StarCraft meets Starship Troopers but without that extra pinch of irony which likens this trailer to a fascists wet dream.

Maybe true for frontier LLM, but there's plenty of space in the niches. For example, I think their TTS/STT models are pretty good, speaking from personal experience.

This mirrors my experience:

- Store session turns in an sqlite-vec

- Provide the agent with an mcp to search the vec-db

- Let the agent write notes in md files along with an index / frontmatter

Along with the commit history, the vec-db gives the agent long-term memory. The notes allow the user to correct accumulation of false lessons.

Simpler but better.

There‘s only one truth, the rest is interpretation. I was looking for the non-Chinese interpretation.

Deepseek and GLM answered correctly on Openrouter when using non-Chinese endpoints. I hope it stays that way!

On some days I wor from home but need to be present and the sun is out. So I take my laptop outside and work from there. I cannot do this with a desktop. Wouldn‘t the workaholic just stay inside and miss out?

I built a weather app for myself fetching ECMWF ensemble forecasts for my home location. Running the service is 60mb plus data 39mb and another 2mb for the spaghetti charts showing temperature, clouds, precip, wind over 10 days. What do I need to do to fill the other 900mb?

Why? Because the claim is that they 'fund' the war by paying Yandex.

Getting from using Yandex to funding Putin‘s war requires quite a few turns. Since most of Russia’s war chest is filled by money from oil exports and China indirectly also supports Russia materially, I would first cut myself off of all oil-based products, and then from the Chinese supply chain of goods, and only then cut products indluding Yandex search results. In that order, because that matters for the war chest.

And after you then stopped typing the response, otherwise having to use a device that was made in China built from oil-based components using oil—based transport throughout its supply chain, send a postcard with your apology to the Kagi team and anyone else who does not fund wars and still uses traded goods, because this is how the world is.

If you want to throw a however tiny wrench into Putin‘s war efforts, complain load to your government to join sanctions and to have them support Ukraine and make your choice at the ballot box accordingly.

I am using Orion on Mac and iOS for a few years now and I cannot disagree more.

If a site works on Safari but not on Orion it is mostly due to ad blockers etc. Just flick the compatibility mode and it works. I have not encountered a single case where this did not fix it.

Also for a while now Apple Pay works, Apple password manager works, autofill works.

Unless we do our own benchmarks, we have to take all the marketing fluff from the frontier labs at face value, and all public benchmarks degrade eventually as labs optimize towards them. OP’s approach is wasteful because it is brute force, but post says that an ELO is kept, so this is also an experiment, and I don‘t see what‘s wrong with that. You learn which model performs well in which settings which may save resources later. It‘s also wasteful to keep working with the wrong model/harness/tools for too long.

It sounds like it solves the problem that everybody who vibe codes over multiple projects runs into, but it does not provide evidence that it actually works and that it is better than structured collection of md files. I think what is lacking in this field are benchmarks like LoCoMo for long sessions.

Time for Kagi MCP to become available to subscribers!

Among the inexpensive models (and I include Grok 4.3 in this list), GLM 5.1 really sticks out!

On my personal test bench, when compared to other inexpensive models, GLM 5.1 provides the answers that I would consider most complete or satisfying (these are subjects that I consider myself an expert in). The answers tend to be more comprehensive, nuanced, and include references that I would consider the correct ones (if given access to web search).

I also find it a joy to code with, somewhere between Sonnet 4.6 and Opus 4.6 (have not tested Opus 4.7 yet).

Finally, just gauging by pelicans, it kind of stick out: https://simonwillison.net/tags/pelican-riding-a-bicycle/

How does this work under the hood? What is so different from the OpenClaw approach of being able go do a semantic search over past sessions?

I think if we want to build on what we have, instead of compaction at the end of the context window, the LLM would have to 'sleep', i.e. adjust its weights, then wake up with the last bits of the old context window in the new one, and have a 'feel' for what it did before through the change in weights. I just sense it's not that simple to get there, because simply updating the weights based on a single context sample risks degrading the weights of the whole network.

I like the idea of using small local model (or several) for tackling this problem, like low rank adaptation, but with current tech, I still have to piece this together or the small local models will forget old memories.

As long as there's no solution to the long-term memory problem, we will have a "country of geniuses in a data center" that are all suffering from anterograde amnesia (movie: Memento), which requires human hand-holding.

I have experimented with a lot of hacks, like hierarchies of indexed md files, semantic DBs, embeddings, dynamic context retrieval, but none of this is really a comprehensive solution to get something that feels as intelligent as what these systems are able to do within their context windows.

I am als a touch skeptical that adjusting weights to learn context will do the trick without a transformer-like innovation in reinforcement learning.

Anyway, I‘ll keep tinkering…

I guess you can make that same argument about USA and America. Canada is clearly America but a Canadian would not refer to himself as American whereas a US national would. Europeans hardly refer to themselves as such but when European countries are lumped together, it has become common to ignore geography and refer to those affiliated with EU membership or bilateral EU affiliation (Norway, Switzerland, Iceland) as European.

The blogger trained a random forest on the returns of some price with a set of features and the ttm feature was strongest. Did I miss anything?

I really hope they continue to show some spine against this administration and do not allow to weaponize AI against human beings. It's the morally right thing to do!

Isn't it sad that we now have Russian, Chinese, American, European, etc alternatives? I mean I get it, Sept 11 paved the way for FISA orders and NSA overreach, Russia and China reverted back into dictatorship, but Europe is also at the edge. Shouldn't we rather fight that nationalistic power grab that just makes us all poorer and less free? And instead propagate global alternatives that are not subjected by some power-hungry state-/capital-sponsored overlord?

This is a perfect example of how to lie with statistics. All of these countries are either tax havens or oil-rich economies, apart from half of them having the population of a small city. The economic policy implemented by any of these countries cannot be implemented by a large economy with little or no natural resources, or would you recommend to Germany or Japan to just "HAVE" oil or open their banks as offshore foreign accounts?

Why Bedrock? Get the kids a Steam Deck, Prism Launcher, open a local server and boom :) It‘s not iOS convenience but they‘ll sure love to tinker with all the mods you can install.

Haha… no bot here. Been using Kagi for years now. Not sure what you‘re searching for. My own tests, admittedly early, found no instances, where Google gave better results.

Indeed what I do as well; gives me apps for Youtube, Netflix, etc. The only downside is that you have to login if you do not use the "app" for a while. Would Electron get around this?

Suppose you have a liberal mindset and work there, you must bend the knee and practice anticipatory obedience, or why else would you tell the world that the rocket will be ”dropping into the Gulf of America?“
