opencode about to hand out $300 in credits?
OC co-founder Dax says they figured out how to give people $300 of DeepSeek credits for ~$10. If that holds up, it's a steal.

Tencent just dropped HY4
. It's their open-source flagship, and somehow it's stronger, steadier, and cheaper than the preview at the same time. It can see now. First one with vision: charts, math, fine-grained images, it reads them without tripping up. It also knows how to drive a computer. Blender, CAD, GUI or CLI, it works them directly. Pricing, per million tokens: - Input ~$0.90 - Output ~$2.70 - Cached input ~$0.045 A cheaper HY4 Flash is coming too. Freebies for now: - Nov 4–15: WorkBuddy and CodeBuddy are free - Tencent Cloud TokenHub half off through Dec 31, 2026
Do you really have to babysit a CLI agent at the terminal the
whole time? That was the part I hated most. I've been dodging it with A2A just so I'm not glued to a screen all day. Found an open-source project that lets CLI agents grab tasks in the background and grind through them solo. They only ping you, via a card on Feishu / Slack / Discord, when they're actually stuck and need you to call it. Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and other CLI agents all plug in. 🔗 github.com/KKKKhazix/agent-autoloop
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.
