🚨🇨🇳 China's new coding model flawlessly outperforms its US... rivals Zhipu AI's new flagship AI model GLM-5.2 has become the first Chinese model to rank in the top three globally on on front-end coding abilities 🔸 Users praise it as the first open-weight model reliable enough for daily coding workflows 🔸 It runs about 48% cheaper than US alternatives 🔸 It arrives as US labs face export restrictions and users fret over surging AI costs The model shows China is neck-and-neck with the US on AI performance — and now aims to overtake such giants as Anthropic and OpenAIshow more

This free model just beat every closed-source AI on... coding benchmarks. Open weights. 6x cheaper than Opus. The labs don't want you to know it exists. > GLM-5.2 from Zai just topped Code Arena - the first open-weights model to ever hold the #1 coding spot. Not a leaked weight, not a fine-tune. A fully open model beating GPT and Claude on their own turf. It's live on Hugging Face Inference API right now. 5 providers: Novita, Together AI, Fireworks, Deepinfra, Zai. OpenAI-compatible client. → Go to huggingface(.)co → grab HF_TOKEN from account settings → plug into any OpenAI-compatible client 6x cheaper than Opus. Companies bleeding on AI bills are already routing to this for orchestration, caching, and token optimization. The smart money moved before the headline dropped. > Now you know. huggingface(.)co/zai-org/GLM-5.2 Bookmark this before everyone else figures it out.show more

1/ Gemini 2.5 is here, and it’s our most... intelligent AI model ever. Our first 2.5 model, Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental is a state-of-the-art thinking model, leading in a wide range of benchmarks – with impressive improvements in enhanced reasoning and coding and now #1 on Arena by a significant margin. With a model this intelligent, we wanted to get it to people as quickly as possible. Find it on Google AI Studio and in the Google Gemini for Gemini Advanced users now – and in Vertex in the coming weeks. This is the start of a new era of thinking models – and we can’t wait to see where things go from here.show more

A quick test of using 3d drawing with 6DOF... controllers as an "instructor" for a generative AI process. There's so many powerful and fun new ways to create just around the corner.. Here I'm using Dreams, Krea and 3daistudio. The 3d model at the end of the video was generated from the Dreams+Krea output in just around 15 seconds. Only the model on the left is a "true" 3d model. #ai #madeindreamsshow more

Fable 5 comes back！It can now build playable game... prototypes. I think it is actually a signal for where AI coding is going. Making a game is not just “write some code.” Even a small browser game needs: game loop；character movement；collision logic；scoring system；UI states；physics tuning；visual feedback；bug fixing；playtesting This is why game prototyping is a great test for AI models. A model cannot fake it with a pretty answer. Either the game runs, or it does not. What impressed me about Fable 5 is that it is useful for the messy middle: turning an idea into mechanics, turning mechanics into code, debugging broken interactions, and iterating until the prototype feels playable. But here is the practical part: I would not use the strongest model for every step. For game building, I would split the workflow: 1. Fable 5 for game design + architecture 2. a fast coding model for routine implementation 3. a vision-capable model for screenshot/UI feedback 4. a cheaper model for docs, test cases, and small fixes 5. fallback when latency, cost, or output quality becomes a problem That is the real AI coding stack. Not “one magic model does everything.” More like: the right model, for the right task, at the right cost, with fallback when things break. This is why I’ve been looking at ZenMux ZenMux. ZenMux gives developers one gateway to access multiple leading AI models, with OpenAI / Anthropic / Google Vertex compatible APIs, cost tracking, quality benchmarks, auto-routing, and compensation when output quality, latency, or throughput falls short. If AI can now make games, the next question is not just “which model is strongest?” It is:how do we manage the whole model workflow Fable 5 shows the creative ceiling. ZenMux is closer to the infrastructure layer you need when AI coding becomes a real production habit.show more

🇨🇳 CHINA DOESN'T NEED TO BEAT US AI. IT... JUST NEEDS TO UNDERCUT IT. The US pulled Anthropic's Fable offline, then told OpenAI to release GPT-5.6 customer by customer, government-approved. Both frontier labs now need federal sign-off to ship. China's open models can't be gated, sit a few points behind, and cost a fraction. Make it nearly as good. Give it away. Take the market. The US isn't slowing China down. It's accelerating its own downfall.show more

🚨Hormuz today, Malacca tomorrow? US choke point strategy targets... China 🗣️The US is shifting to a full "global maritime blockade strategy," Chinese policy adviser Gu Dingguo tells SCMP. 🔸After observing Iran's leverage over Hormuz, the US will next target the Strait of Malacca — through which 80% of China's oil and 90% of its sea trade flows. 🔸Recent US-Indonesia defense pacts, overflight rights talks, and deals with Malaysia are clear signals. 🔸Gu calls Hormuz, Malacca, the Taiwan Strait, and the South China Sea high-risk zones for Beijing, as the US's real and unchanging priority remains containing China and Russia at sea. 🔸The Hormuz crisis is not just about Iran. It's a laboratory for how America plans to strangle China's economic lifelines.show more

✨ Every week a new AI model comes out... and it suddenly makes my half broken features work a lot better Yesterday Seedream-4-Edit came out and it made my [ Hold product ] feature on Photo AI a lot better You can now go from: 🎁 Product photo -> 👱‍♀️ Talking video with your AI model while holding your product. In just a few minutes! Here's a photo I took from the weekly farm box we get in our kitchen, I set it as the product and then with Photo AI made it into a talking video where my trained AI model presents it It's not perfect, as the objects inside the farm box still move around a bit, but pretty close. If the product is more uniform (like lip gloss, a product box or a book) it does a pretty good job at keeping it exactly the same This "consistency" as they call it is quite important for actual real world use. Product sellers don't want to have an image or video of an AI model if the product doesn't look exactly the same as what they sell With that, I'm getting pretty close now and every week with every new model that comes out, a bit closer And it's interesting cause now I'm finally moving from B2C a bit more to B2B where businesses can use Photo AI more, designers and stores already use it for trying on clothes etc. but now they can generate content for real products! 😊 LIVE now on Photo AIshow more

Dreamina Seedance 2.0 Mini is officially live in the... US and now available globally. US users can get 55% off membership plans, plus nearly 50% lower credit costs for Dreamina Seedance 2.0 Mini. This offer is available only in the US. I saved a ton of AI video credits by changing ONE setting. Dreamina Seedance 2.0 Mini looks surprisingly close to the flagship model, Dreamina Seedance 2.0, but it uses significantly fewer credits, making it a much more cost effective option. This underwater exploration scene cost me way less than I expected. 👇 #dreamina #dreaminapartner #seedance #dreaminaseedance2minishow more

A 17-year-old student replaced $850 in monthly AI bills... with 1 tiny NVIDIA box and never looked at cloud invoices the same way again. The machine cost $4,699. That sounded expensive until the math started winning. Cloud GPUs charge every experiment. Every failed prompt. Every forgotten instance. Every late-night demo. A local AI box flips the model. Private documents stay on your desk. Coding agents run without API anxiety. RAG, embeddings and model testing stop burning money by the hour. One $3K to $10K client project can cover most of the hardware. After that, every new workflow becomes cheaper to build. The next AI advantage isn’t finding a better model. It’s owning the computer that runs it.show more
