"Forever" gets the scare quotes because it is implied only up until the Butlerian Jihad?

I upvoted you just for the Dune reference.

I feel like once they make a mega successful movie of a book we can stop doing the secret handshake.

The only movie I've ever enjoyed after reading the book was Jurassic Park. I've never seen the Dune movies or most other book-based movies, but honestly The Martian and Project Hail Mary were tempting. I'll probably surrender to one of those two someday.

Especially when the movie is over forty years old.

Starting to wonder if the free big pickle model on opencode has been DSV4F0731 for the past few months. It’s been incredibly fast and good.
reply
At least in the past it was GLM-4.6. IDK if it is ever changed.

I’ve heard that too, but since it’s a stealth model, I suspect they change it to whatever preview model provider that offers a free endpoint. In the past few months, I’ve gotten 4xx errors identifying the provider as DeepSeek.

Totally! This with DwarfStar delivers usable local AI (I hope!)

Usable local AI has been here for a while, esp on say a 5090.

You can’t treat Qwen3.6 like its fable, but if you prompt precisely and specifically it’s a great executor.

I actually found it refreshing to use more of my brain for once, and actually have to think deeper about what I’m trying to do, and how to build it.

What are your goalposts? Depending on your requirements, there have been many moments of usable local AI. More recent ones were gpt-oss 120b and Qwen 3.6 27b.

hope that deepseek become better

Have you tried the one that was just released?
