Product work

"GLM 5.3 just came out, which I used for a bunch of product work. It doesn't have a vision component, and it's sort of like this neurotic PhD you put in the corner. And they both have their role."

Automated hourly research via a cron job on a Bittensor subnet, with self-improving prompts

"Somebody gave me an API key to a Bittensor subnet that had put GLM-5.1 from Z.AI. And I was like, okay, I'm not being metered. Instead of doing this daily cron job to do research on something, I was like, give it to me every hour."

Automated nightly security vulnerability scanning of codebase — runs from 2am to 5am on cheap spot compute after each PR

"We essentially launch — it's Kimi K3 right now, but it's whatever open-source frontier model that doesn't require security checks — and we ask it to hack into the codebase and try to figure out vulnerabilities in the code. It's essentially free because we'r..."

Used as a default model inside Cursor within Buzz for agent tasks

"Kimi K3 is the best out of all three of the new models, but it's also the most expensive. I highly recommend trying it out."

Cost-efficient task execution in Cursor; near-free Google Sheets creation and general agent tasks

"DeepSeek V4 Flash is probably the most interesting because for certain tasks it is 105 times cheaper than Claude. I highly recommend trying these models. This model is 20 to 100 times cheaper depending on the task."

AI assistant access while traveling in China

"When I'm in China for two weeks, it's DeepSeek and Gemini. Those are my friends. DeepSeek is intentionally crippled in China. It's not as good as it is here. It can't search the web and it is trained on different data as near as I can tell."

Creating 'impossible documentaries' of Star Wars planets — generating scripts, directing video generation, and orchestrating audio

"In the last few weeks, I've been obsessed with Qwen 3 8B. It's very good at long horizon tasks, and it's actually really creative. It's a great storyteller. So, I've been using it to create these impossible documentaries, mostly of planets in the Star Wars ..."

Reading Twitter and Reddit 24/7 to look for market signals and customer pain points

"You can run mid-size good models like Qwen 36 pretty quickly on the DGX Spark, which is nice. Quinn 36, which is not quite as smart as GLM, I can have that reading Twitter and Reddit all day just looking for signal. That's a very simple thing to find."
