Price war full on. Watch as the price of AI inference goes right down to marginal cost, capex tanks, recession hits and interest rates drop.

GPT-6 Sol and Luna are out. Not only are they a very significant improvement across the board, but also in writing and general "you know when you try it" quality.
We are also permanently reducing the API price by 50% making both of them viable for a ton of new usecases and making your usage go further too, even on the subscriptions.
And one more thing. We are loading a banked reset into all accounts of our Plus, Pro and Business users. Let's go!

Coderabbit is great but even on the highest plan rate limits you to one PR an hour.
Bro, are you even vibecoding?

Good model. Used once. Might again.
This looks... interesting 👀
Just discovered Hemmingway-1, a model based on Qwen3.8-27B that promises to sound and write like a person than any other model around.
I am going to test it out!

I love that we now have AI leaks like we used to get iPhone and Tesla rumors.
Also yeah grok 4.7 does suck. Not sure why.
Tested by me
> Unfortunately, token efficiency has dropped again for opus 5.5
> OpenAI "bel" is perceived as AGI by them
> Grok 4.7 is dead on arrival
> GPT-6-sol is 6-7 times more faster compared to astra on same thinking settings
> Gemini 4 pro is back in the game with insane webdev , 3d and spatial reasoning ( its the same lead that 2.5 pro had on sonnet 3.5 and gpt o3)
Leaks :
anthropic model 3 is in training already it is there answer to bel , we had model 2 charts in august which scores 10% higher then current mythos 5.1
use this perspective gpt astra max intelligence is dumb than bel low intelligence with an degree of margin this is not seen by any model jump yet in openai < last was opus 4.8 to mythos 5 by ant>

Just spent the weekend building our own test running fleet on GCP spot capacity that will reduce our spend 70% vs (the excellent) blacksmith. How TF is anyone supposed to run a SaaS business ever again.

Wow. Of all the problems facing small businesses in Seattle, this is the one the city council is picking up?
Instead of fees, safety, vandalism, permit delays, tip credit… they are going after the landlords. Of course.

Ok here I am on the Jev train. Had Jev score PRs written on the same set of issues by different low cost models. Deepseek v4.1 not only cheap but also the best.
Last column is “would your merge this?”

It’s a overwhelming positive for our region that we have Bellevue as a good option for office relocation.
It’s sad that Seattle isn’t able to retain the companies. But a hell of a lot better than moving to Florida.

Actual email from a taxpayer funded lawyer at the Housing Justice Project straight up extorting us for $10,000.

Good news for all the landlords out there. Slowing the production of housing always helps keep rents high!

It’s fall in the city I love and time to talk again about the structural $200m Seattle deficit.
It’s the same hole we had last years and we are likely to fix it in the same way. But this will be the last year we can do it.
It’s time to focus on a sustainable solution: growth

There is no reason to think revenues won’t continue to fall on the per capita real basis. And there won’t be more PET to raid. I’m sure progressives will reach for more taxes on business or business the rich, but with jobs in decline already this could be counterproductive
