    Warp factory allows you to benchmark coding quality with different models with your own code, and uses that to guide routing decisions The factory of the future works on its own rsi loop that is context specific, and exciting to see @warpdotdev leading this

    Exciting day for @huggingface 🤗 @tnachen & I had CTO @julien_c on the @OssStartup pod back in early 2022 (before they became a 🦄) and it was clear even then that they were building the dominant OSS AI community Huge congrats to the team! creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/os…

    @ComfyUI is now the first and only commercial license distributor for @MiniMax_AI's generative media models. MiniMax open weights have been downloaded through Comfy close to 20 million times. Not one of those downloads paid the lab a cent. That is the open-weight problem.
