  • Joey Flynn and Thomas Dimson, both former OpenAI employees, built the site, which launched in June 2026.

  • Appearing in a 1-billion-parameter model like Meta's Llama signals especially high relevance, because smaller models compress knowledge more aggressively.

Recent commentary

after about ~4 hours of claude tag i'm calling the ball - anthropic's product people have officially lost the plot. 'ill-conceived' doesn't even begin to describe my feelings on this. also, they give you 25k in credit because it defaults to fable 5 and also watches _every slack message sent_

you know I hate to admit it but openai is kinda cooking these days at least with agentic coding. 5.5 just does the thing without getting stressed like 4.7/4.8 seem to.

some commentariat on the “AI deskilling” thing - memorization isn’t mastery. I’ve met plenty of certified whatever’s who passed a test saying they knew k8s or c# or whatever that I wouldn’t trust in my repo

anyway a complete aside but I have found the best way to make a TUI in 2026 is to have the UI be a thin presentation layer over a daemon process and just let the AI talk to the daemon
