Gemini 3.5 Pro pushed back again, didn't hit internal perf targets.
Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 are just too far ahead. Next Gemini's gonna have a rough time catching up.

No Mac. No code. App Store anyway.
The old way: buy a Mac, learn Xcode, pay Apple $99/year, and drown in certs and provisioning profiles. Baidu Miaoda skips all of it. Describe your idea, it spits out a native iOS app, handles cloud builds, signs everything, and ships straight to App Store Connect. All automatic. No Xcode. No certs. No Mac required. First platform to go end-to-end: natural language → native iOS app → App Store. Nobody else does this.
Kimi-K3 is wild.
2.8T params, 896 MoE experts, only 16 active at a time. Native 1M context + multimodal. AA index 57, beats Opus 4.8 and GPT-5.5. #1 on Arena WebDev, 1527 on long agent tasks (2nd). Pricing is brutal. ¥2/M input (90%+ cache hit), ¥100/M output. Opensourcing before July 27. Strongest open model right now. I used K3 to generate a playable guitar. Final result stunned me. Cost me ¥5 in API calls but I hit errors the whole time. Honest take: too pricey right now, compute is tight.
Claude appeal rejected.
Won't refund the subscription either. I'm half convinced the appeal email is itself phishing, because I'm pretty sure they log the IP. DHH came to Shenzhen recently and showed how he uses Claude Code over there. That's the safest way now, honestly: run Claude Code on an overseas machine, connect through Tailscale, never use it locally. So I need to rent an overseas box with a residential IP, and register and log into Claude there.
Sharing my current mobile only workflow.
Until late September it was the usual setup: parked in front of my laptop, terminal open, bossing pi around, fanning out subagents, then eyeballing diffs myself and filing the PR. Glued to the chair all day, every day. Late September I moved the whole thing to my phone, Hermes runs the show, pi takes the orders. My back is very grateful. Three weeks in, still no regrets. Stack: Hermes on flagship brains (gpt-6-astra / opus-5.5), pi on mid-tier (ds-v4.1-flash / sonnet / terra) with as few plugins as possible, the two talking over a2a. Hermes reads the issues, slices them into small tasks, spins up a worktree for each one, and dispatches a pi into it. When a pi finishes it pings Hermes, who decides: ship the PR or bounce it back for rework. I get back from a full day of being a tourist, or just wake up, and a dozen PRs are sitting there done. Pretty sweet. The catch is how black-box the whole thing is. My emotional arc has been a rerun of early vibe coding, except back then I at least read the diffs. Now even that goes to a flagship model. Boxes all the way down. If you don't have data anxiety, grok-bot and chatgpt-dot basically ship this out of the box, grok-cli and codex built in, native agent-to-agent comms. Downside: your code lives on their servers, everything's moderated, and one ban takes it all with it.
