Since the last update, hex is absolutely flying
As a long wisprflow customer i can guarantee you there's no need to pay for stt anymore. This thing is crazy, really crazy.
just set it to whisper-large-v3-turbo and insert your domain terms in the "hint" field. 1gb of ram max, and faster than wisprflow since the latest update

Models like astra and opus 5.5 are the equivalent of money falling from the sky and the goal is to cast the biggest possible nest to capture the upside
For now the biggest net we found is @buzzdotxyz most of you are missing out honestly
I also think people like having choices made for them. Choice is cognitive load, and figuring out what to ask a black box to get what you want is tedious for a lot of people.
A big % of tech people don't get it
Normies won't ask "build me software"
They will ask "I have this photo and I want to manually edit it" and it will spin up a Photoshop clone
They will ask "I need to know if sales are going up or down this quarter from all different ecommerce platforms we use" and it will spin up an analytics dashboard connecting all APIs with scheduled crons that keeps it up to date forever
They already do!
They won't know they're building software because their AI app/agent will do it for them
And then they'll stop using most regular software!
true! same as the 3D demos: they know exactly what will make a great showcase on X and bruteforce those specific capabilities into the weights.
Pretty much every motion video demo I see here follows the same patterns.
Still super impressive though!
Introducing Notion in the terminal
I spend most of my day in @herdrdev and I want to stay there. My agents already work great with Notion but I had no good way to follow along next to them. So I built ntty
It sits on top of the excellent Notion CLI from @NotionDevs, and it covers most of what I do day to day. Still a few rough edges and kanban views aren't there yet. That's next.
PRs are welcome :)
After working on it for a year, I can finally see the end state of the harness
On the backend, it's an execution environment that gives the model maximum degrees of freedom and on the frontend it's a free-form canvas that the model can use to communicate with the user
The only valid argument for post-training inside a vertical is cutting costs in tier 2 tasks.
Everything else is marketing or capital incineration
Pretty interesting post.
Max was quite critical of Harvey doing post training and has gone on podcasts saying this. This was also used as a point of differentiation for Legora where they don’t do post training and just focus on building the wrapper layer. I agreed with the points he made.
From the post it seems like they are going to do post training now. We are in 2023 all over again.
oh god are we getting opus 5.2 and sol 6 the same day ?
At this point it's so clear the interaction modality is the bottleneck
VCs should heavily invest in human<->machine interfaces
Current best balance for the mass is STT of course (wisprflow etc..) - i'm hoping these companies are thinking less about "voice" itself and more about the actual primitive they're serving: increasing human<->machine bandwidth
Things like the Meta Neural Band up to neuralink
But yeah at this point its super obvious what i need is not more intelligent models, but a much higher rate between my brain and ghostty
