GLM-5.2 is one of the best open-source coding models right now. No need to buy Z.ai's Coding Plan. Just use Nvidia's free tier. Nvidia's free tier is notoriously slow. Peak hours, you queue up and wait. But free beats nothing, and off-peak it's honestly pretty solid. build.nvidia.com/z-ai/glm-5.2
built a subtitle recognition saas last year. openclaw dropped and it was dead before launch. a lot of people asked why i let it die. general agents just ate the use case. simple workflows got replaced overnight, and the tools behind them flipped from user-facing products to agent. no ui, no onboarding, just something an agent can read. subtitles are the clearest example of this. when a person does the work you need a real product. when an agent does it you need a skill it can follow. so i built one. give it audio + the original script. offline whisper handles the transcription, an llm figures out the timestamps and proofreads against the original, and it gives you back an srt file. 🔗 github.com/haoyiyin/easy-subtitle
You've probably run into those short videos lately where an agent drives a phone around by itself. This one is called Mika, and it's a free open-source project. It's an Android app that works in the background through accessibility mode, so it can use pretty much any other app you have installed. Reply to someone on WeChat, scroll Xiaohongshu, drop something in a cart and check out. It finds the buttons by looking at the screen. There's no API to wire up, and it doesn't care what resolution your phone is. When it reaches a payment step or a captcha it stops and lets you finish. 🔗 github.com/wangzan101/Mika
Someone on Xiaohongshu posted a while back that she sells phone keyboard skins she made with Codex. Eight, ten yuan a pack. Over a thousand a month. I've been at mine for months. October: a few hundred copies, $1,200 gross. Platform fee 30%, tax 10%, so 60% should have landed. It came to just over a thousand dollars. I still don't know how the math pulled that off. I have an overseas bank account. Once lost $500 to a wire transfer off one. I'd still tell you to take payout through WorldFirst: less hassle, lower fees. You can also get a Hong Kong USD credit card tied to it that spends your WorldFirst balance directly. Digital card is free. Physical is $4. Mainland purchases under ¥200 skip the processing fee, and right now there's 1% cashback.
