working on different verbosity modes in opencode always pays off to build little tools to iterate faster! I've probably adjust 100 little things in here because I can quickly see it with real sessions

@thdxr Also makes a difference when what you're building is the right primitives to build into small tools

Mister Bernard21 days ago

I like this idea.

@opencode need this!

verbosity modes are an underrated idea. matching output density to what the task actually needs is one of those small decisions that compounds fast.

Starbird21 days ago

this is 🔥

@opencode Which mode did you end up preferring? I feel like perfecting the right verbosity can be tough

Umar Khan21 days ago

yeah this kind of tooling pays for itself so fast. otherwise something like verbosity is mostly vibes, but with real sessions side by side you can actually keep tweaking the little things instead of guessing.

Buswe22 days ago

Replaying saved real sessions through each verbosity mode side by side turns every tweak into a quick visual diff.

With the latest fixes in ds4 I can now get it to build and iterate on a little TUI Tetris game just fine. Pretty damn cool (yes, it made some rendering errors)

finally got around to setting up an always on opencode server so i can run sessions on any device from anywhere takes a few minutes - showed it off here

You can use a 100% open source and MUCH cheaper/free alternative to Claude Code and Opus 4.5 OpenCode + MiniMax M2.1 can even build a 3D website using pure vibe coding. Steps are really simple: 1. Install OpenCode using the command 'npm i -g opencode-ai' 2. Get your MiniMax API key here: 3. Configure the MiniMax (official) mode Just type "opencode connect minimax" Coding plans start at $2… 10x cheaper than Claude Code (yes). You can also invite friends so they can get 10% off and you’ll get 10% API credits. (You can also use it locally if you have the config) And you're ready to build and iterate almost endlessly since the model is both way faster and cheaper than Opus in CC.

Trump says he thinks his new vaccine recommendation is meant to prevent autism: You do it in 5 different shots, 5 different shots, small little shots with those beautiful little bodies can handle it, and I think you're going to see a very big difference in the rate of autism.

Try out the Visualize plugin (in preview) in Codex. Some ideas click faster when you can see and interact with it. Here’s a fun example where I asked Codex to build a planet simulator with different controls. 🌎

I finally got tool-calling working on the Qwen3.5 on iPhone. Just over 20 toks/sec and so far looking very useful. Especially when I get some more local tools working to access things on the phone. Uploading to GitHub when I've done a little more testing.

Sam Antonacci describing how he plays: "Unorthodox, probably a little annoying to the other team. I'm gonna do anything I can to win the game, even if it's a little bit... different." He's dialed in constantly. I honestly have't seen anyone with his level of intensity here in Charlotte, and I've seen a lot of extremely locked in players. #WhiteSox are getting an absolute machine. Charlotte Knights

Things have been slow because people have in real life things to attend to. Contemplating on postponing or continuing; it's really tough to say with how things are for me personally. So much to do, so little time, only one person. But... I hope it looks good so far to you guys.

Products, platforms, people excel in different dimensions. I've always been a fan of the little diagrams you see in videogames (e.g.: in FIFA, Messi is good at Offense, Defense, Speed…) I built the v0 version of it:

i've been enjoying the real secret weapon in Grok Build - free (seemingly unlimited?) access to all the real time conversations on X i use it to quickly understand public events and opinions, and it's completely goated - see video below. it's not sped up btw - that's jut how fast it is i'm actually surprised this isn't a built-in skill in Grok Build given this is a real differentiator, but anyway i just published how i do it as a "/whathappened" skill here - enjoy!

Why is this so real😭I know how hard an stressful working in a healthcare can be, dealing with lots of patients, but it won't hurt you to just be a little kinder especially with elders, a little guidance would do. #WhenLifeGivesYouTangerines

Cursor with Kimi K2.5. Don't sleep on this combo. From a prompt to a personal HN feed in about ~60 seconds. The future of building is going to be so wild. With faster models, you can quickly iterate on more ideas, while improving quality.
