Today's biggest stories were Nous Research dropping Hermes Desktop and @victorbrsss's deep dive into Pruna AI's new $0.15/5-second image-to-video model on Replicate. Hermes Desktop…
Today's discussion split between agent infrastructure and ecom execution. @jcartu led the harness wars, arguing the harness matters as much as the model — recommending OpenCode + O…
Today's chat split between coding agent shifts and AI video economics. The biggest narrative: Codex 4.8 on Extra/xhigh is overtaking Claude Code for autonomous implementation work…
Orchestration strategy dominated the day: @jcartu made the case for routing Hermes through Kimi K2.6 Turbo on Fireworks (200+ tps, ~4x cheaper than Opus) and escalating to Opus 4.8…
Claude Opus 4.8 dominated the day, with builders reporting eye-watering token consumption — @GuruTime hit 15M tokens across 182 agents in 27 minutes, and anonymous burned 40% of a…
Claude Opus 4.8 dominated the day, rolling out mid-morning with granular reasoning controls, a 3x cheaper fast mode, a high-effort default, and benchmarks beating GPT-5.5 on engine…
Hermes infrastructure dominated the day. A bad Codex response shape (response.output = None) crashed the OpenAI Python SDK parser with 'NoneType object is not iterable,' taking dow…
Today's discussion was dominated by the Codex vs Claude Code debate, with several long-time Claude anonymous subscribers reporting full migrations to Codex citing better instructio…
Today's conversation was dominated by a clear migration trend: builders are shifting their primary coding work from Claude Code to Codex, citing generous and frequently-resetting u…
Today's discussions centered heavily on AI video generation workflows for Meta ads, with @KtargetMedia and anonymous sharing a backdoor for getting Runway unlimited plans activated…
Today's biggest thread was a deep technical breakdown of Meta Ads API uploaders — @rockdm, anonymous, @rmktg, and anonymous compared system users vs OAuth flows, ban avoidance, and…
Today's biggest threads were Qwen 3.7's 1M context window release and @geilt's hands-on benchmark pitting Codex, Claude, Grok, and Google's new Antigravity CLI against each other o…
Today's headline thread came from @jasonakatiff hitting the ceiling of Claude Code at ~900k lines — billing, subscriptions, and routing logic drifting as Claude forgets 10-20% of t…
Big launch day: Google dropped Gemini Omni, now live on kie.ai and useapi.net at $0.12-$0.60/gen. Early verdict — Omni beats Veo 3.1 on text-in-video, audio, and editing, but Seeda…
Today's standout was @launchmanmathias breaking down a 2,000-AI-videos-per-day ad operation: Kling for generation, ~$4k/day compute, a 24-person team, and a static-image → AI video…
Sunday was dominated by the ongoing migration from OpenClaw to Hermes as the orchestrator of choice. Builders like @launchmanmathias, anonymous, @weslindquist, and @seekersight rep…
Saturday was dominated by @rmktg's 40-minute Hermes walkthrough video, which triggered a wave of builders rebuilding their agent stacks around multi-profile orchestrators (Frenchie…
May 15 was a heavy infrastructure day across the community. The dominant thread was the Codex vs Claude Code debate: @jasonakatiff went back to Claude after Codex silently corrupte…
The dominant thread today was Codex vs Claude Code, with multiple builders publicly downgrading Claude after recent quality regressions. @jasonakatiff upgraded to Codex $200 after…
Today's biggest story was Anthropic restricting the Claude SDK to API-only pricing, effectively capping anonymous plan automation at ~$200/mo in credits. Power users are calling it…
Today's chat opened with a hot debate on coding harnesses: @samb69 argued Claude is fine for creative but bad for coding, running OpenCode with custom code+review agents that loop…
Today's chat was dominated by two threads: where AI agents should actually run, and how to fully automate UGC ad production. @tounano, anonymous, and @iannagy made the case for rem…
Today's chat was anchored by anonymous's deep dive into landing page production with GPT-Image-2: ideating hero sections at 4K, extracting assets via Python background removal, and…
Today's chat orbited the question of where the real money is for AI builders: ai-native agencies vs SaaS vs rapid-fire ecom plays. @Kieran argued proprietary AI workflows form a co…
A loaded day in the builders channel, with three parallel wars dominating chat: harness selection, video model selection, and analytics tooling. On the coding front, @geilt, anonym…
A heavy build day spanning agent harnesses, code-audit tooling, and creative ops. Codex's new browser-use feature stole the morning — members logged into sites, downloaded videos,…
Today's 785 messages converged on tightening AI coding workflows and rethinking compute. @GuruTime launched panel-mcp-server (aka multiaudit), an MCP that fans out a PR to Codex, G…
The day's loudest thread was a near-unanimous thumbs-down on Claude Opus 4.7 — builders called it woke, lazy, and token-hungry, with several rolling back to 4.6 or jumping to GPT 5…
