Open source AI is here to stay, so let's see what open weights models you can realistically run on a medium laptop as of September 2026.
AI is a great machine, if you treat it like a machine: ask clear outcomes, don't share feelings. Good guys vibe code, bad guys write specs.
In a rather disturbing essay, Dario Amodei, Anthropic's CEO, urges to slow down AI dissemination (not training) and ban open source AI.
It's very easy to vibe code an entire SaaS these days. But the cost of building going down doesn't mean ALL the apps will disappear.
What is this AGI, that everybody talks about? Artificial General Intelligence isn't vibe coding, it's solving problems we haven't solved yet.
You can now share your Grok bots. I had early access to the feature and I published my own before they went live. I explain how [...]
Grok Bot quick review: it looks simple, but at the same time useful, just like the first iPhone. Agents talking to each other feels magical.
In the final episode I talk about open weight model harnesses, or how to actually talk to your local AI. From llama-cpp chat to Pi, or [...]
In this episode I talk about running an open weights model locally. Two main hardware lines: Apple Silicon and NVIDIA, both good.
Episode 2 of the mini series about how to choose an open weights model, this time how to choose an open weights model provider.
How to choose and open weights model: the difference between slow, dumb and laggy - and state of the art inference, like Claude or Grok.
AI watermarking is not baked into model weights, it works at the generation level, by sampling different tokens, paired with a private key.
I'm fortunate enough to have witnessed a few key moments in our recent tech history. One of them is web 3, the dot com revolution. Back [...]
See how to combine entry-level AI subscriptions and free models for Fable-level vibe coding, solid limits, and high productivity on an $80 monthly budget.
Publishing ten apps in four months sounds good. And it is good. It means the bottleneck is no longer building the app. With AI-assisted coding, small [...]
Pre-digital childhood gave you patterns younger developers never learned. Now AI removes the syntax barrier. Here's how to turn 50+ into your unfair advantage.
10 iOS apps in 4 months, built solo with AI. Vibe coding for senior developers: specs first, two models, heavy verification, and marketing in parallel.
5 practical lessons from building iOS apps with Claude Code in 7 days. Includes my 23-section genesis mega prompt template. Copy, paste, and ship your app.
My vibe coding workflow: 35 years of experience meets AI. How I ship 3-4 iOS apps in parallel from my iPad, with 5-7x productivity gains. Here's [...]
