Autonomous Ad Agents, DeepSeek Flash, Anthropic Git — AI Daily Oct 15

October 15 was dominated by @rmktg's walkthrough of a near-autonomous ad agent running at 80-85% autopilot: image and copy generation end-to-end, batch-QA'd video clips auto-assembled, ROAS as sole metric, $300-800 CBOs with tiered pause thresholds, and dead ads above 1.0 ROAS revived into fresh campaigns to counter attribution lag. Grok 4.7 remains the primary copy model with Claude in testing. In parallel, a long thread on ad comment seeding reached rough consensus: minimal lift for affiliate, still valuable for ecom trust, and a clear gap for an API-driven provider — @seekersight surfaced comdrop.io and @anonymous is building on top of a scraper + profile warmup stack. On models and orchestration, @miyamotaz reported DeepSeek Flash via OpenRouter (sorted by throughput) running a 16k-word multi-agent research report in 15 minutes for ~$0.15. @jcartu is using Astra as a fast Hermes orchestrator across rotating accounts, @Anonymoushat moved back to Claude for long-horizon intent, and @samb69 confirmed DeepSeek Flash holds up on long creative turns. OMP emerged as a key unlock, routing across Claude, Codex, and Grok plans with auto-switching when accounts anonymous out — essential for overnight runs. Infra pain hit when @jrizzolo's Orca killed worker sessions on a 32GB VPS; consensus is 96-128GB minimum for serious agent fleets. Anthropic's Git rebuild sparked debate — @thewildzeno pushed back on the 300 merges/day flex while @Uziarbiv read it as a signal of bigger infra ambitions. Jev shipped multimodal (@justingacina clocked 98% vs Claude's 99% on 150 images for 3 cents), @Anonymoushat hyped Subquadratic as '10x Jev' with 384K context, and Meta dropped a new open-weight model @samb69 pegs at Sol 6.1 level. Business threads covered Bending Spoons' Airtable acquisition as the Elon-at-Twitter playbook, plus new builder intros from Ronald (Shopify attribution dashboard, $500k/mo spend) and Soheil (trade journaling site).
