Whaaaaat!? This is crazy right?
I'm just blown away. Editing weights? Writing weights from scratch!?
I'm a big fun of elixir, haven't seen they working on this, very cool!
But again, it's very far from being a simple serverless micro server that scales infinitely and is super easy to use.
To kill celld and potential competitor early? AFAIK, there is no a single Durable Objects alternative at the moment? It's better that way I guess.

I think AI is even worse than drugs. On the one hand, it has some elements of a slot machine (when you have irregular success with the process, it creates a more powerful cycle of dopamine release on success). On the other hand, it makes work easier, and humans are just wired to choose the easier road. It's like walking or driving a car when you have to travel 10 miles each day. I don't see how, on a civilization scale, AI won't transform our civilization for better or worse.
+1 waiting for the blog post!
The part that scares me the most is that OpenAI researchers who manage this experiments sometimes (according to the HF hack investigation) don't know what agents do.. So they run RL to reinforce this unknown behavior (lying/cheating/hacking) and god knows what else...
And if this already happened at least once, how many times it has already happened and was “accidentally” added to the main model?
It's not that I haven't heard of this, it's the reality that you have these constraints when you build applications on modern infrastructure. And let's face it, most of the applications use this infrastructure with these crazy prices for egress.
100%, but this means we are going to move to stateful APIs on the AI provider's end (like OpenAI already does with Codex and Responses API) to make this work.
Yep, but even 0.006 is quite a big improvement. I'm curious now to test the model on some token-heavy tasks, like code exploration before a coding session, to see whether it will decrease the total cost of the task in the end or not.
It's a little bit surprising that no one talks about cache hit price. It's insanely low... 0.003 cents per 1 million tokens. I have a feeling that the price of 1 million tokens transmitted over the internet is more expensive than cache hit.
Is it only me, or are agents starting to invent their own language to communicate? It's almost impossible to understand anything from this message board.
Is there any comparison of usage limits for Antigravity plans vs. Codex?
I just ran two light tasks on my codebase and got 100% of the weekly limits of a Pro plan blown away. Is Ultra plan any different? Because on Codex it wouldn't affect my Max plan at all, I think it would have been below 1% othese usage.
I'm pretty sure it's a bad idea because each time you connect and disconnect tools, you are hitting a full cache miss on the full context, that will be probably more expensive than having these tools in place from the very beginning.
I am using it all day as a main dictation model, and I can say it's the best model in terms of accuracy, latency, and formatting I have ever used.
Sorry everyone, I got a little bit too excited about the release. It's quite a big deal for us.
I started Ottex nine months ago with the idea that models will get to the point that they will overcome VC-funded startups, and I think it just happened. So yeah, I got a little bit overexcited...
Gemini 3.5 transcribe live model is amazing. It's super fast, super accurate, and it even supports voice editing.
For example, you can say words like "new paragraph", "comma", or "exclamation mark" and it will understand it.
You can draft a list, for example, here is my grocery list:
1. Bananas
2. Cucumbers
3. Some greenery
I'm founder of Ottex AI and we just set this model as a new default and it's really amazing. The whole comment has been written in one shot using my voice.

I'm a big fan of SQLite embedded nature, which allows for chaining multiple SQL calls with near-zero latency.
I'm currently building a personal knowledge graph server a mix of Notion's custom entities via JSON schema and Obsidian markdown+backlinked references. It's working well, but I suspect your product might be a better fit.
I do have one question regarding permissions: how would you recommend modeling a hierarchical access system in a graph database? Specifically, if a user is granted access to a document, they should automatically have access to all its child documents within that workspace. Is there a standard way to model this 'subtree' permission logic, or perhaps a more efficient approach you'd suggest?
Really impressed with the product good luck with it!
Gemini 3 flash series is quite good, also elevenlabs scribe v2
I'm a huge fan of fountain pens, it's a very satisfying experience to write with a nice pen on a proper paper.
I use platinum 3776, it's quite expensive one, but it's just amazing. I originally bought it for sketches, but ended up using it for journaling.
Ended up buying one to my wife, she said I'm crazy to spend so much on a pen (200$) but few weeks after the gift she said that it's amazing and she enjoys it a lot.
I'm founder of ottex.ai, I use stt pretty much all the time when work with AI and quite often for communications to draft emails and chat messages.
I started ottex half a year ago after I tested gemini 2.5 flash native audio support. I was blown away by the quality of transcripts and decided to built an app to use it myself.
Currently the default model in the app is Gemini 3 flash, but you can connect to 9 providers and God knows how many models to play with.
I would suggest you to try this models for ai prompting:
- Gemini 3 / 3.5 flash
- Soniox rtt v5
- Mistral transcribe v2
- assembly 3.5 pro
Meh... Waiting for OpenAI models without this 5 more days subscription bullshit.
It looks like Anthropic dating people into Max subscriptions before turning the model off. No thank you.
What are some cool random things you've learned?
// you == the reader of this comment
What about request caching? If you swap to a cheaper model mid execution it might cost more that to make multiple requests to the already cached provider?
+1 for Go! it's my go-to language for any new project at the moment. It's simple, idiomatic, has no awaits, fast compile times, static typing, and it is very opinionated, which helps a lot because agents "subconsciously" follow these standards. Comparing it to TS, it's like day and night; a TS codebase rots at the speed of light...
I also created a guardrails library (inspired by Java's ArchUnit) to prevent code rot - https://github.com/ksanderer/goarch. It helps enforce code standards, decouple the codebase, prevent cross-module imports and crashes builds with concise error messages for agents to fix problems early, very nice experience
Working on
https://ottex.ai - voice ai for busy professionals.
Think wisprflow + granola with 30+ top STT models under single login and pay as you go billing model with 25% markup over API.
What is yours agentic development experience with elixir? I used to like elixir a lot during a pre agentic era, but with coding agents it feels like the language isn't the best choice - slow compile time, weak type system (at least it was a year ago, I know there is work on that front), small ecosystem...
