Liquid AI shipped LFM3: a 1.7B backbone, and six models grown off
it (text, vision, audio, omni, plus two decision models). All open-weight. 256K context, roughly 1GB at 4-bit, fine-tunes on one GPU. a full 128K context costs 1.6GB of KV cache. Qwen3.5-4B takes 4.3GB for the same thing. 🔗 https://www.liquid.ai/blog/lfm3

$20/month, and now you get a cloud box that stays on 24/7 for
free. Nous's new subscription comes with Hermes Agent model credits, and now it also includes a persistent machine. Plus gets 4GB RAM and 25GB disk. Super bumps disk to 100GB. Ultra comes with 8GB of memory.

I stuffed an agent into an Android phone.
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

My product went profitable, and something in me broke.
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.
