The ChatGPT desktop app for Linux is now in preview! I signed up for the waitlist but had to stumble across this myself. Officially provided as .rpm and .deb, but already available repackaged in the CachyOS (Arch) repository.

My Hermes agent got access to my Obsidian vault. But check out how nice a terminal interface can be, even with file path completion. Who needs a GUI if you have something like that? 🤯 My main way to talk to my Hermes agent is currently: hermes chat (inside the terminal)

GitHub (Microsoft) uses your repositories (including private ones) to train their AI models since the 24th of April. 😱 If you don't want that, you have to opt-out as follows in the settings:

Totally unexpected after the recent release of M2.5, now we have M2.7, improved across all benchmarks. 🤯 Especially interesting: The new Minimax Claw Bench shows M2.7 catching up fast to frontier models when used in OpenClaw. More info about M2.7 in the official article. 👇 x.com/MiniMax_AI/...

Google just banned some accounts using @openclaw and / or automated API calls. So crazy that with your a warning one of the most popular login methods for 3rd-party services can just disappear on you. Own your email. Own your domain. Don't delegate your digital identity! x.com/i/status/20...

Kimi K2.5 from @Kimi_Moonshot is a great open model and works fine in OpenClaw at a really competitive price! 🫶 But the coding plan usage runs out way too quickly for me when I use the model in OpenClaw (even with increased quotas, as they currently state on their page). 🥺

Dr. Daniel Bender @aidfulai.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

If ChatGPT or similar tools complain about "too much text," head over to @Zai_org With the new GLM-5 model and a 200k context window available on the web UI at "z .ai". No signup is needed. Looking forward to reading your experiences in the comments below. 👇

Dr. Daniel Bender @aidfulai.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

Quick reminder: For Kimi coding plan subscribers. You grabbed the Kimi coding plan for $1 and don’t want to pay full price next month (at that price point, Claude is probably the better pick) ➡ cancel now and keep using it through the end of your trial month.

Google has begun banning users from its AI models when it detects access through third-party tools like @OpenClaw rather than the official Antigravity IDE. A growing number of users are reporting the issue in a Reddit thread. 👇 Take care, especially if you subscribed for a complete year!

For what is the "boot in 1s" feature needed? My @OpenClaw bot does not remember when his machine booted the last time. 🤣

Dr. Daniel Bender @aidfulai.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

I jumped on the bandwagon, and I have to start talking about it: @openclaw is just remarkable. It is so crazy that you get stuff done by just asking for it. One example from me: Make OpenClaw inform me about an updated release and tailor the message based on the usage it is seeing on my system.

This n8n workflow sends me a Slack message when there is a new entry on the @Alibaba_Qwen release site. 👇 Looks similar to the one I shared yesterday, but it needed some help of ChatGPT to extract the right call to get the entries via a JS call. 😅

Dr. Daniel Bender @aidfulai.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

After missing yesterday’s @Zai_org release of GLM-4.7-flash, I built this n8n workflow. 👇 It checks their release page and alerts me on Slack if there was a new release in the last hour. You might ask me for the details to do it yourself for any page you would like to monitor.

To try Claude Opus 4.5 for free, just install the VS Code fork @antigravity from Google. Fair warning: The model is so outstanding at coding, you'll probably find yourself signing up for a paid plan - just like I did. 🙈 Link 👇

Just looked for a feature in my favorite editor @zeddotdev, only to realize that it was just added, and I have to update my current installation. Now, I am able to set @MiniMax__AI M2 as my default model in @opencode running as external agent in @zeddotdev. Open-source power! 💪

Dr. Daniel Bender @aidfulai.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

The weekly token usage on @OpenRouterAI shows always interesting insights: 1. @grok Code Fast 1 is still the by far most used model 5. @MiniMax__AI M2 has currently the biggest momentum with +34% usage 8. Sherlock Think Alpha is a new clocked model, rumors point to Grok. 🤔

Today's Cloudflare outage is a great reminder: Decentralization isn't just a buzzword, it's a necessity. ChatGPT and Claude are down. Happy to have my own local AI setup that's actually reliable. 😎

Digitizing printed text via optical character recognition (OCR); - Classic OCR fails with gibberish and your spellchecker catches it. - AI OCR fails with plausible words that fit the context perfectly. The error is really hard to catch. Is the latter really what we want?

Dr. Daniel Bender @aidfulai.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

There is a new star in the world of open models on the horizon: MiniMax M2 Given that this has less active parameters and is sparser than other open models, the benchmark results are pretty good. 👇 However, you should vibe test it yourself via OpenRouter (currently for free).

GLM 4.6 is the most powerful open-weight model for coding. With 375B params, it's likely too large to run it on your own hardware. Subscriptions from z. ai start at $2.70 (code in comment) for the first month. Use it on platforms like Claude Code and OpenCode. 👇

HOT TIP: Watch for deals and supply shortages. Early adopters are already tracking used 3090s and planning upgrades.

Dr. Daniel Bender @aidfulai.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

Is it the new “go-to” card for local LLMs? Maybe not immediately, but the specs (and price) suggest it could dethrone the 3090 for many users, especially those seeking better future-proofing and warranty coverage.

Dr. Daniel Bender @aidfulai.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

If FP4 and FP8 support works as claimed, expect major performance boosts and easier model deployment. This is a promising leap for those who build and run custom local models.

100

Dr. Daniel Bender @aidfulai.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

Community reaction: Many hope this puts pressure on 3090 prices, making high-memory cards more accessible for AI/ML workflows. But speculation is that used 3090 prices may not drop much… at least for now.

Dr. Daniel Bender @aidfulai.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

Same TDP as the 3090, but with new features like FP4 formats and more efficient energy use. Imagine setups with four of these and close to 100 GB total VRAM without massive power draw.

Dr. Daniel Bender @aidfulai.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

🚀 Attention all LLM enthusiasts! 🚀 Leaks share specs of the RTX 5070 Ti Super, the next-gen powerhouse with 24GB VRAM at an unbelievable $800. Prepare for a game-changing shift in the market for power users handling large language models on their own devices. 👇🧵

As everyone explores GPT-5, it reveals a dark truth: today's AI might disappear tomorrow. OpenAI's unexpected model replacements show how cloud dependency creates "digital quicksand" for users and businesses. More about it and a way out in my latest newsletter issue. 👇

Download the latest Kiro update! By being an early adopter of Amazon's VS Code fork, Kiro, I kept getting an update alert that annoyingly led me to a waitlist. But I've discovered a little-known subpage that lets current users directly access Kiro releases for installation or upgrades. 👇

Everyone should think about building an AI wrapper for his biggest pain Skip building your own model. Move fast, grab your niche, and collect the data that'll give you the edge later.

Kiro, the new Visual Studio Code fork from Amazon has now a waitlist. 🤔 Released on Monday as preview, and so far free to download and register. That changed, likely due to the huge interest of vibecoders who want to test the more structured approach of Kiro.

Dr. Daniel Bender @aidfulai.bsky.social · 16/07/2025

● 🚀 Just got Amazon's new coding editor Kiro running on my Arch Linux! Unlike for Windows, MacOS and Ubuntu, for Arch Kiro is provided as a complete self-contained folder that you simply move to /opt. Everything's included: the editor, dependencies, and even a beautiful icon.

Ever wondered how model quantization (FP16, Q8, Q4) *really* affects performance? There's an analogy that makes the trade-offs crystal clear... and it involves something you might drink. 😉🍺 Kudos to @jtdavies for this brilliant comparison. 🙏 See the image for the full explanation! 👇

Sam Altman shares a glimpse of the future he is seeing in front of us. 👇 The changes will be huge, and now is the time to prepare yourself for it by AI-first thinking. BUT, do it problem centric: Whatever you are working on, think about how AI can support you. 🤔
