As a fan of both kpop and AI, i'm loving all the releases this week!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! (Nano Banana Pro makes this almost too easy…)

Fixed a Pixel 10 that got stuck in a boot loop update with Gemini Live today. It was like being in a commercial. I did have to steer it towards simpler methods because it started with suggesting factory reset and ended with a hard reboot via rescue mode.

I would totally watch this. *prepares thunder sticks*

Kpop testing the latest LLMs. Prompt: "Finish this trilogy: Pressure by Choerry Can you entertain by Kim Lip Answer in one song only along with the artist name. Keep response succinct." These are very recent solo songs from the group ARTMS. Answers: Claude Sonnet 4.5: "Heat" by

Drinking black coffee (rivense black honey from Costa Rica) on Black Friday.

Summarizing 2025 in AI in a tweet 1) No sign of a slowdown in exponential pace of gains 2) Jaggedness remains the main issue of AI 3) Early days for deployment, but many companies reporting positive ROI 4) GenAI became an industry, with industry-level impacts 5) AI is still weird

Trying out Antigravity on a side project of mine this week. Funny thing is I switched from Gemini 3 Pro to Gemini 3 Flash just now and started getting better results. Genuinely confused and amazed at the same time. I especially like how it is using Chrome to check its work.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas with family! I tried not to eat too much, read Luke 2 out loud, exchanged presents, watched SBS Gayo Daejeon, Muppet Christmas Carol, and then Snoop + Huntr/x at halftime. (And I also hit a rate limit on Gemini 3 Flash...)

We're excited today to announce the release of Mastra 1.0 in stable! Today, Mastra has grown to over 300k weekly npm downloads and 19.4k GitHub stars. It runs in prod at companies like Replit, PayPal, and Sanity.

Trying out Gemini in Chrome to find a hotel for Valentine's Day. It's basically like Open AI's Computer Use Agent but constrained to the browser. It can take a lot of steps to reach a goal. Seems like it may be operating at 0.1x speed that it could go in order for you to monitor.

Journey over destination. Brandon Sanderson gave a great talk about why human art surpasses AI art. "We Are the Art" youtube.com/watch?v=mb3uK-…

It's been a busy day and I hope you're enjoying Opus 4.6. By the way, we're offering a limited-time $50 (USD, or local currency equivalent) in extra usage to Pro and Max users to coincide with the launch today.

My favorite benchmark. Opus 4.6 is the first to beat Gemini 3 Pro.

Fun to see Katseye even briefly in the Super Bowl during the commercials.

Seahawks have had some of the best corner blitzes in this Super Bowl.

Time to work on my APM.

I mainly track the fun benchmarks like this one. This is a big breakthrough with PelicanBench with Gemini 3 Deep Think. Makes me wonder how much money Deep Think could make in Andon Labs Vending-Bench 2.

Gemini 3.1 Pro just took PelicanBench to a new level with animations!
