Hey everyone, I got tired of AI directories that force you to create an account, log in with Google, or give away your email just to test a single basic feature. To solve this friction, I spent hours researching and building **FrostAI** on Notion. It is a completely curated list of 37 active, functional AI tools that you can use instantly from your mobile or browser without signing up. It includes tools for: * Video generation (Kling, Luma Dream Machine) * Research & PDF analys...

This stuff has impacted my work and the well-being of my family in a positive way. It is easy to take these tools for granted due to the fear surrounding them and the sheer volume of activity in the space. It's hard to keep up and it's a wild ride. I appreciate that I get to have a high-level, well-versed thinking partner in my pocket 24/7 who builds things for me, to my spec, for $500-600/mo USD. Learning these new probabilistic systems is a fun and challenging endeavor. AI tools have enabled m...

That's a bold claim. But I genuinely feel like I might have actually solved computer use (demo: https://x.com/mdlahfir/status/2088109763783700827?s=20 ) For context, I've been building agent-desktop (Inspired by agent-browser by Vercel Labs), an automation CLI for desktop apps. It's like Playwright but for desktops, not just native, but for Chromium apps as well. Trust me, yes, Chromium apps whose accessibility tree is dense. MacOS is GA; I'm almost close to launching for Windows and Linux! So,...

I get my best ideas when I'm out walking or driving. I built Riffn to make sure I can capitalize on those ideas when and where they happen - while I'm away from my desk, usually outside. I used to use voice recording a lot. So I built Riffn to replace that with a direct voice link to any model or agent I wanted to talk to when my hands and eyes were busy. This lets me develop ideas and keep pushing forward on my apps and other projects when I'm out and about. Riffn is an iOS app that gives you a...

I recently was thinking about reducing the cost of LLMs, specially LLMs which are doing repetitive tasks (such as coding, which has a lot of repetition) and I was thinking of RNN's and had RWKV paper open. I'm not really good at math but as far as I could understand, they just added that QKV matrix system to a traditional RNN. Based on my personal tests, RWKV models are a little faster on both colab and gaming systems and even when quantized, faster on a CPU using ollama. So, what do you t...

Spent way more time than I should have switching Claude Code (Anthropic's coding agent) from API-key billing back to my Pro subscription. The flow: SSH into a server → attach a tmux session → run a login command → copy an OAuth URL → open a browser → authorize → paste the code back into the terminal. For a company shipping some of the most advanced AI models out there, this feels like a UX problem that was solved a decade ago. A single command or flag to switch billing mode would save everyone...

LiquidAI LFM2.5-VL-3B: a 3.1B local VLM that beats Gemma-4 E4B — screen understanding 2.5 → 82.2 TL;DR: LiquidAI released LFM2.5-VL-3B, a 3.1B vision-language model that runs fully local (llama.cpp, MLX, vLLM, even a WebGPU demo). • Beats Gemma-4 E4B (8B) 69.4 vs 59.7; edges Qwen3.5-4B • Screen understanding: 2.5 → 82.2 on ScreenSpot-v2 Web (huge jump) • 228 tok/s on M5 Max, 20 tok/s on a Galaxy S26 Ultra • Function calling / object grounding included What I found interesting is the busine...

Every day I see someone bolt an LLM onto something a shell script did better. The best AI practitioners I know are the ones who draw the line early: - Deterministic task, fixed rules? Script it. - One-off analysis with judgment? Ask a human or a cheap model. - Open-ended, branching, context-heavy? Now AI earns its keep. The $0 automation stack I run uses AI for exactly one step (summarizing news) and plain code for everything else. That's the whole secret: AI where it compounds, code where it ...

I only did a quick first test of DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813 tonight, so take this as a tiny sample, not a verdict. The first Pro run failed. I put the same demo through Flash, and Flash completed it. I honestly did not expect that result, so I ran Pro a second time before writing this. Same failure. The odd part is that it did not feel slow while generating. I was seeing roughly 80 to 90 tokens/s tonight. That looks fine on a counter, but it matters a lot less when the demo itself does not make it...

New South Wales is considering joining Australia’s national face-matching network. The proposal would allow driver’s licence and photo-card images to be checked when someone’s identity needs to be confirmed. The practical benefit is easy to understand. If someone tries to open a bank account using documents stolen in a data breach, face matching could help identify that the person doesn’t match the real owner. The concern is what happens once a searchable system like this exists. The same...

🚀 New release of Android Remote Control MCP is out — the MCP server that runs on your phone and gives your AI agent the ability to use any app you want! Grab it here: https://github.com/danielealbano/android-remote-control-mcp/releases/tag/v1.11.0 My favorite part of this release? The Privacy Mode 🛡️! Recently I was told by an user "it's a good project but I don't want Anthropic to know everything about me" and it's a very fair point! The LLM providers see and record everything...
