[AND ANOTHER ONE] Usage Tray Pill now counts down to your next 5-hour reset. A tiny clock right next to your limit: 2h10m, 40m, 7m. No more guessing when you can get back to work. Turn it on in the Pill tab. Free and open source for Windows 11: github.com/Novendum/usage-tr…

[ANOTHER UPDATE] Usage Tray Pill can now show two AI providers at once. ChatGPT and Claude, side by side in one pill next to your clock. Click either side to switch it. Just open the interface and edit it how ever you want/need. Free and open source for Windows 11: github.com/Novendum/usage-tr…

Today we are rolling out Gemini 4 Argon globally in the Gemini API, to Pro + Ultra in Gemini App, and Ultra subs in Antigravity! Argon is a huge step forward for Gemini, and a labor of love. This model has been battle tested by over 100,000 people at Google over the last month, with so much new innovation, ambition, and hard work baked into this release. The team has been heads down over the last 6 months working to make this possible across the stack (research, infra, safety, eng, etc). We rolled the model out to cyber defenders as part of our fairwind program and early access customers over the last 2 weeks, it has been amazing to see and talk to folks who are now using this model daily. Seeing the models writing capability, raw knowledge and persistence for coding, paired with new features like 1M token output when the model needs to work more has gotten me even more excited about our path ahead. This is just the start of the Gemini 4 era. As you saw with 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8 Flash, our iteration speed with Gemini is fast : ) Now with Gemini 4 Argon to work from, I am cannot wait to see the progress continue, and most importantly see what this new model enables for the world. This is such a special moment in the arc of technology, as millions of people everyday tackle problems they could never have thought possible before. Gemini 4 Argon was built to help you tackle the hardest problems. I have personally felt this spark with Argon and hope you do too. Onwards!!

[UPDATE] I rebuilt Usage Tray Pill, my open-source Windows taskbar tool. Under the hood: • Persistent background collector + Codex connection reuse • OpenCode Go usage API instead of dashboard scraping • Smarter retries and refreshes around quota resets • Native text rendering with crisp icons and smooth edges Plus light/dark themes and smoother provider switching. Codex, Claude, Antigravity, OpenCode Go & optional Qwen. Try it and tell me what breaks 👇 github.com/Novendum/usage-tr…

Got accepted into Claude Startups program after the re-review. I knew @AnthropicAI wouldnt pull a rugpull on us! They fixed this damn fast. Much appreciated, thanks @claudeai!

Applied for the Claude Startups program with my Start-up. Review took very long while many got in within minutes. After many days received a message saying welcome to Claude Startups and without getting a chance to redeem it, received a message saying it has been removed due to "underestimated" demand. Kinda disappointing of @claudeai .One would think a review taking that many days should qualify a company...

congrats! chat.new

We didn’t anticipate the demand for the Claude Startups program. In the first 48 hours of the program, we received 21x the number of applications compared to the last 5 months it’s been live. We let way too many people in this time, so we’ll need to pause on giving out the Team plan and API credits benefits. The other benefits (Startup Stack, Applied AI office hours/events) will remain. If you’ve already claimed the Claude offers, they’ll still remain in your account. We didn’t properly tune the acceptance criteria at the start, and many non-startups were accepted this time around. We’re fixing this now. We’re sending an email now to everybody who hasn’t claimed their benefits yet, and will re-verify those applications so we can keep Claude Startups for startups 🙏

Today, we're expanding SynthID Detector in partnership with @OpenAI, @NVIDIA, Kakao & soon @Apple as part of an industry-wide effort to make AI-generated content more transparent. Available globally in English, our verification portal lets you check if media was made with AI 🧵

🚨BREAKING: OpenAI will ship one useful Codex update or do a FULL reset every day in the next 28 days… Do you think they will actually follow through with that?

I got tired of opening five different dashboards just to check my AI usage So I made a simple tool in the Windows taskbar Compatible with: Codex, Claude, Antigravity, OpenCode and Qwen Usage Tray Pill is now open source 👇

i really hate to say it, but… gemini who? 🏎️💨

Introducing Gemini 4 Argon, our new frontier model, rolling out to cyber defenders starting today, and more widely as soon as possible. I am really excited by the progress we have made here. Argon is priced at $2 in and $10 out during introductory pricing!

That's super nice, 62.500 Credits have been added to my account. Roughly $2,500 in nominal value. For perspective, that’s the price of 12.5 months of the $200 Pro plan. That's cool! Better than another banked reset!

I’ll explain the new Pro 200 plan differently, before I start live tweeting from DevDay on things that are going out! Today we are going to ship a number of things that increase what you can do across the Plus and Pro plans. A lot of compute is online for this increase. As we increase the floor, we are changing the relative difference between plans to be Plus = 1X Pro 100 = 5X Pro 200 = 10X and we are reopening subscriptions for Pro 200 (we had paused it). If you have an existing plan you will keep the 20X multiplier for a bit and also receive a lot of additional credits because we know changes are hard even if it means that everyone will get more in the end.
