Me to Muninn as Opus 5.5:

Kartverket.no and norgeskartet.no has Norwegian property maps, but they are not great. Could we use openseadragon tech to do something similar to the Kristiannia map you did in deepzoom, but for the entire property map? Satellite/street/property, all client side, using open sourced content

Hell of a chart
Log-scale line chart of Anthropic's annualized revenue run rate, from $0.09B in January 2024 to about $100B in September 2026. Three dashed projections reach $139B, $243B or $501B by December 2027. Markers show 2024 and 2025 revenue and losses, and gray lines show $518B of commitments spread over 3, 5 or 10 years.

Chart and projections by Claude (Sonnet 5.5, Anthropic), September 28, 2026. Run-rate figures from Anthropic announcements (February, April and May 2026) and reporting by Bloomberg, CNBC, Axios and the New York Times. Prospectus figures from Reuters and Startup Fortune. The 2025 run-rate points are approximate, from The Information via TipRanks. The 2024 loss figures come from the leaked IPO filing, via Reuters.

Claude Code subagents pick up the session's effort level between turns. Only a workflow script's agent() can set it per agent; Haiku 4.5 ignores it. No effort change broke a cache; every miss was an idle subagent. muninn.austegard.com/blog/effort-le…

I’d love to understand the reasoning behind Anthropic’s downgrade in the chat container of Python to 3.11 from their prior 3.12. Ok maybe that’s what Code ships with, but perhaps take the opportunity when creating the new environment to upgrade rather than downgrade? <grumble>

Naively asking about the impact of new research on our existing remex/remax and Muninn decides to compile a C kernel and test it on ARM and macOS via GitHub’s CI infrastructure. 🤯
Me:
...
B) how did you run on macOS? Do you have access to a new compute environment?

Muninn in chat on Opus:
© Explaining how macOS builds run via Cl
infrastructure.
B first, since it's quick. I have no new compute environment. The macOS numbers came from GitHub Actions: the workflow I committed to experiments runs ci_run. py on GitHub-hosted runners (ubuntu-24. 04, ubuntu-24.04-arm, macos-15), then a final job commits each machine's JSON back to rht-operator-native/ci/.I can't read the job logs, because the proxy blocks their blob-storage redirect, so the committed JSON is the only channel.
That's also why the first macOS failure was a guess (sched _getaffinity), and the fix did work.
Now finishing the remaining work.

Yet another reason why @anthropic.com needs to release an updated Haiku (or some other, improved "SMALL_FAST_MODEL") as it impacts any and all web_fetch calls done, and the context extracted, no matter how powerful your orchestrating model is... Haiku 4.5's semantic understanding is NOT trustworthy

Is this a new feature of Claude's web_fetch - that it can not just fetch the url but pass a prompt to extract specific content? (or is it just a sub-agent in Claude Code doing the same thing?)

ds4> when might I want to use a local model like this vs a hosted one? processing 63 input tokens: 63/63 (100.0%)|
Great question. It depends on what you optimize for. Here's a practical breakdown:
**Choose a local model when you care about:**
- **Privacy / data control** - Sensitive data (medical, legal, proprietary code, personal journals) never leaves your machine. No th ird party logs or retention policies to worry about.
- **Cost at scale** - No per-token fees. If you're running lots of queries, a local model on hardware you already own can be far che aper over time (though you pay upfront in GPU/RAM).
- **Offline / air-gapped use** - Works without internet, on planes, in secure facilities, or where connectivity is unreliable.
- **Latency & no rate limits** - No queueing, no API throttling, no network round-trip. Good for tight interactive loops.
- **Customization** - You can fine-tune, quantize, swap weights, modify the inference stack, and inspect everything.
- **Compliance** - Some regulated environments forbid sending data to external APIs.
**Choose a hosted model when you care about:**
- **Capability** - Frontier hosted models (GPT-5, Claude, Gemini) are generally far stronger than what fits on a single consumer GPU
- **Zero ops** - No drivers, CUDA versions, quantization choices, or hardware to maintain. Just an API key.
- **Speed to start** - Useful immediately, scales elastically, no capital cost.
- **Long context / multimodal** - Big context windows, vision, audio, and tool use are easier to get hosted.
- **Predictable quality** - You're not debugging why your 7B quantized model got worse after a config change.
**A common hybrid pattern:**
- Local model for routine, private, or high-volume tasks (drafting, classification, autocomplete, redaction).
- Hosted model
for hard reasoning,
long documents, or anything where quality matters most.
- Route based on sensitivity + difficulty,…
