Just finished looking at Ink here.. frontend world has no shame. Love the gloating about 40x less RAM as if that amount of memory for a text REPL even approaches defensible. "CC built CC" is not the flex people seem to suggest it is.

Indeed a sad state of affairs.
Frontend losers not realizing the turds they are releasing. An LLM client fits under netcat+echo+awk+jq runnable under a 486 if there's no SSL/TLS on its way, Pentium II could drive fast TLS connections like nothing and under 32MB of RAM with NetBSD for a simple terminal install, maybe with X and a simple WM with RXVT if you care.
That's how you get "oh this TUI API wrapper needs 68GB of RAM" https://x.com/jarredsumner/status/2026497606575398987 or "we need 16ms to lay out a few hundred characters on screen that's why it's a small game engine": https://x.com/trq212/status/2014051501786931427
